Two days had passed since Randy had confessed his feelings to Lennon. It was awkward around the apartment to say the least. Lennon wouldn't talk to Randy. Lennon was hanging out in Maggie's dorm.

"I did something really stupid the other night." Lennon said.

"What did you do?"

"I um, made out with Randy."

"Lennon." She said disapprovingly.

"I know, it was beyond stupid."

"How'd that happen?"

"Well I was going to the movies, Randy asked if he could tag along." "I said yes." "So we went to the movies and got something to eat afterwards." "We went back to the apartment and we were talking." "I was actually having a nice time." "Just before I was about to go to bed, he kissed me."

"What did you do?"

"At first nothing." "It took me by surprise but I did kiss him back."

"Is he a good kisser?"

"He's a great kisser." "It felt really nice, then it hit me." "There's only one reason and one reason only why Randy was doing this." "He wanted to get me in bed." "So I stopped it." "When I called him on it he gave me some bullshit, about how he likes me and he'd been trying to work up the courage to ask me out." "He swore up and down he didn't just want to get me into bed." "I know better then that." "I haven't talked to him since."

"The last thing you need is to get mixed up with someone like him."

"I know."

Randy and John were working out at the local gym. John could tell Randy was distracted.

"What's up with you?" John asked.

"Nothing." He said depressed.

"Is it about Lennon?"

"I made a move on her the other night."

"I take it it didn't go well."

"At first it did." "We started making out." "Then suddenly she stops and freaked out on me." "She accused me of trying to get her into bed, which is not what I was doing." "I told her how much I like her and she didn't believe anything I said." "Now she won't talk to me." "It's been two days."

"Yeah you've got it bad for her."

"I don't blame her for not believing me I wouldn't believe me either but I'm telling the truth." "I want to be with her John." "I don't know what she's done to me but I want her."

"Try talking to her again." "She can't run to far." "You live together."

When Randy got home he took a shower. When he went back out into the living room Lennon was home. She was sitting on the living room couch.

"Hi." He said. She ignored him. "I need to talk to you." He went over to the couch and sat down beside her. She went to get up. He grabbed her hand to stop her. "Please." "Lennon, I want us to be together, I want you to be my girlfriend."

She rolled her eyes. "You don't know what it means to be someone's boyfriend."

"Yes I do."

"No you don't." "You don't know how to be in a relationship."

"Yes I do." "I was for two years." "Remember, months ago I started to tell you about her?" "Her name was Tory Lawrence." "She was my first love." "We dated from fifteen to seventeen." "We lost our virginities to each other." "I came to find out she was cheating on me, with two guys." "I was crushed." "It hurt me bad." "That's why I am the why I am." "If I don't get close to a woman, she can't hurt me." "I promised myself I'd never let a woman get close to me again." "I know you don't believe me and from what's you've seen I don't blame you, my feelings for you are real." "I'm crazy about you." "I've tried to convince myself I'm not but I am."

"I've been hurt enough Randy."

"I don't wanna hurt you."

"Even though you have that history with Tory, I don't think you can commit."

"Yes I can."

"You'd cheat on me at the first chance and you know it."

"No."

"Yes." "Someone like you can't stop." "You like your endless parade of whores to much."

"I can prove I've changed." "Over the last three months, how many women have I brought home?"

"Well.. Now that she thought about it she couldn't think of any.

"You can't think of any can you?"

"No."

"That's because the answer is zero." "How many dates have I had?" Again Lennon couldn't think of any. "Exactly." "It's because all I want is you."

"It would never work."

"Yes it would." "If you don't feel anything." He let go of her hand. "Go ahead, stand up." She didn't move. "I knew it."

"Fine, I have feelings for you, happy?" She said annoyed.

"Yes." "That's a good thing."

"No it's not." "You say we can be together."

"I know we can."

"I know we can't." "There's something you don't know about me." "I'm a virgin."

"Really?" He said surprised. "You said you went out with Montgomery for a year."

"I did." "In that year we never did anything." "One of the reasons he broke up with me was because I wouldn't have sex with him." "He couldn't wait and I know you won't be able to."

"I can wait."

"You say that now but eventually you'll start pressuring me just like he did."

"I would never do that." "That's not right." "If we were to take that next step in our relationship it would only be when you were ready." "Please, give me a chance."

"Ok, I'll be your girlfriend." He smiled. She kissed him. "Just don't make me regret this."

"You won't." They kissed.
