A quick update! It's a miracle!

Well, this chapter's kind of filler-like, but leads to an important event to come next chapter.

Well, hope you like! Read, review, and enjoy!

Lindsay and Trent walked into his apartment, laughing. "Can you believe how terrible that movie was?" Trent said, still laughing.

"I know," Lindsay agreed. They took their jackets off, hung them up and started walking into the kitchen. "You'd think that for eleven bucks each, it could at least-" She stopped talking and gasped when she saw what had been set up. The small dinette set had been perked up with a pure white tablecloth, a tall, but unlit candle, and had even been set already, including some freshly cooked steaks and baked potatoes.

Trent grabbed a matchbook off the counter, pulled out a match, and flicked it against the side of the matchbook, making it spark to life with a small flame. He lit the candle and grinned at his beautiful date. "Bon Appétit," he said, gallantly pulling her chair out for her.

"Trent, how did you do all of this?" She asked, sitting down gently and letting him push her seat in. Realization struck her and she playfully smacked him arm. "You lied! You didn't have to go number one during the movie!"

"Well, I had to call Geoff to set this up somehow, and I couldn't really do it while the movie was playing," Trent said, sitting down across from her. "And I couldn't tell you the truth… I wanted it to be a surprise." He sheepishly grinned.

"Aww…" She leaned across the table and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Well, it's a great surprise."

While they ate, the two got to talking. They talked about pretty much everything, realizing that they had more in common with each other than either could have ever imagined.

For example, Trent's favorite genre of music is classic rock. So is Lindsay's! Now, it would have been hard to guess that just by looking at her, but it was true. She was even able to have an intellectual discussion with Trent about her favorite musicians. To say the least, Trent was impressed.

They also talked about Sabrina, who was officially spending the night at Selena and Marilee's place. Lindsay was glad she didn't affect Trent's feelings for her. She had actually met a nice guy, Rick, right after having Sabrina, one she went out on a few dates with. She really thought she loved the guy, but that was until she brought baby Sabrina with her to visit him at his house. That was the last time she ever saw him.

Once Rick saw the baby in her arms and Lindsay explained that she was her daughter, he told her that things weren't going to work out, and slammed the door in her face.

Needless to say, she hadn't dated since.

But Trent was different. Trent was so nice to everybody, especially her and Sabrina. When she was around him, she felt so loved.

Loved…

Did she honestly think that Trent loved her? I mean, maybe he did love her, but he probably loved her like a sister, or close cousin or something. Not love love.

But the real question; did Lindsay love love him? She had flirted with him during the canoe trip to Boney Island, but that was mainly so he'd do most of the paddling and she could work on her tan. But she felt different about him now. She couldn't believe what she hadn't seen in him when they were teens. If only she had realized that eight years ago. Maybe her past would have been a little better.

"Lindsay?"

"Hmm?" she mumbled, snapped out of her thoughts.

"I asked if you like your steak," he repeated for her, finishing his own with one last bite.

"Oh, yeah, it's great!" Lindsay chirped, taking another bite of it. "Where'd Geoff get this food?"

Trent wiped some steak juice off his mouth with his napkin. "He made it."

"Really?"

Trent nodded. "Yeah, remember how great he did as head chef during the cooking challenge on Total Drama Island?" Lindsay nodded, too. "Well, he realized how much he loved cooking, so he opened this Italian restaurant after university." He took another forkful of baked potato in his mouth and continued, "DiStefano's. I think he named it after the chef he interned for."

"Oh…" Lindsay timidly looked down. "But if he has a whole restaurant; and don't get me wrong when I ask this. I mean, this has been the best date I've ever had, but why didn't we just go there?"

"Well, Geoff's place can get pretty crowded this time of night, and I wanted to be alone with you."

Lindsay giggled and blushed. "Oh, Trent!"

Trent grinned and asked, "Want some Port?"

"Maybe a little," she said, still getting over her blush.

He got up and pulled a bottle of wine and a corkscrew out of a nearby cabinet. Twisting the cork out, he poured a little bit into each of the empty wine glasses sitting on their table. They each took a sip and started chatting again.

In the next two hours, Lindsay had learned more about Trent than she knew about herself, and vice versa for Trent. After finishing their wine, they relocated on the couch.

Everything they hadn't talked about before, they talked about then. Lindsay learned that Trent had a much younger sister, Grace, and a single father who lived in the next city. His mother was still alive, but she had moved much farther away, so he didn't have much contact with her anymore. Lindsay had met Grace during her short cameo on the second season of Total Drama, but didn't really get to know her. Apparently, she had been quite a brat, but Trent had been oblivious to it, he embarrassedly admitted. But he reassured Lindsay that Grace had changed for the better and was a much nicer girl now.

And Lindsay had already told Trent about her relationship with her father, or lack thereof, so she talked about the rest of her family. He already knew about Paula, the aspiring actress, but he never knew that Lindsay had another older sister, Emma. According to Lindsay, she was a kindergarten teacher who lived a few miles away. She was happily married to a nice man named Carson, but they were unable to have a child, no matter how hard they tried. Lindsay, while she was still pregnant, had actually contemplated letting them adopt Sabrina. But, after she was born and she saw her little face, she couldn't bare to part with her. Luckily, she had never vocalized her plans, so Emma and Carson weren't hurt about her decision.

After an small pause in their infinite conversing, Trent finally worked up the courage to kiss her on the lips. Lindsay flushed, bringing a hand up to her lips.

He felt like she did that for three hours before she finally grinned and kissed him back, not separating quite as quickly as he had. After she stopped, Trent grinned at her and reached out to place a hand on her cheek. "To be honest with you Lindsay, I've been wanting to go out with you since you first moved in. I just never had the guts to."

Lindsay's eyes watered up and she hugged him again, "Oh, Trent…"

"Trent?" Lindsay asked, cuddling up even closer to him.

"Yeah?" He wrapped an am around her.

"When are you visiting your sister and dad next?"

"Uh… Wednesday, I think. Why?"

"Now that we're steady, do you…" Lindsay paused, almost afraid to ask. "Do you think it'd be okay if I met them?"

Trent smirked at her bashfulness. "I know they'd love to meet you." He gave her another kiss and she smiled, snuggling into his chest more.

I hope they like me, Lindsay silently thought. And I hope Trent was right about Grace being a changed girl…

Oh snap crackers! Next chapter, Lindsay meets the former devil, Grace! Has she really changed? Only time will tell, my friends.

Grace is yet another one of my OCs, btw. You'd have to read Total Sibling Rivalry to really understand her character.
