Hey guys!

I don't really have anything interesting to say… : (

I'm so sorry it's been so long since I updated, I've been REAL busy!

I finally got out of that bitch of a teacher's class , but unfortunately my new advisor is cool, but kind of useless so I have to do everything myself.

Also I just got a new job at this shoe store called Finish Line in the mall. So I've been working part time with that.

But in other news the boiling point is over ! So sad about that, but the finale was really amazing. I was so sad about Alli and Drew and how their relationship went. Also I hate how Drew's mom was acting towards Alli when she didn't even do anything wrong. Grrr I wanted to slap somebody.

Anyway on with the story.


The pillow made a surprisingly loud thump as it hit the wall beside the door Alli had slammed behind her. Drew let out a frustrated sigh as he sat down on the bed and covered his face with his hands.

"Well that went well," he mumbled.

It wasn't very often that Drew was laughed at. He supposed that was why he over reacted. If it were with any other girl, he guessed he would have been pissed, not embarrassed. And then he would have just showed the girl the door, and never would have thought about it again, but something about Alli made him feel differently. He only wished he could have handled things with her better, before she ran away.

Sighing again, he stood up and made his way to the kitchen.

"Hey ma," he said as he gave his mom a kiss on the cheek.

"Dad," he said as his father stood, to shake his hand.

"So… what was that all about son?" Omar asked as he gently pushed Drew down onto the stool at the kitchen bench.

"Well dad, sometimes when a girl and a guy are alone together, things happen, and then one thing leads to another – "

"Alright smart ass. We know what that was about, but why did Alli leave the house almost in tears?" Audra asked as she lent against the bench opposite her son.

"We just… I dunno. You guys laughed at me and – "

"You sound like a child Andrew," his mother warned him.

"But – oh alright. I'll give you that one"

"You over reacted didn't you son?"

"Yeah dad I did" Drew said as he buried his head in his arms, "and now Alli probably isn't gonna talk to me again"

"Alli… I know that name…"

"She did introduce herself Omar," laughed Audra.

"No… she's in the gifted program at Degrassi isn't she? Mr. Simpson and I were talking about Candidates for the UN Summit program I'm in charge of this year. She must be extremely extraordinary if Archie suggested her."

Drew watched as the confused look on his fathers face turned to a proud smile. He went to go get a list of people that were interested in the class.

"Alli Bhandari. Gifted Youth program number 3."

"That's her dad."

"I know her. She's been the top of her class ever since we moved to Degrassi. Archibald thinks very highly of her. I didn't realize you two were friends," Audra said with an accusing raise of her eyebrows.

"Not now mom. Please," Drew groaned as he rested his forehead on the bench.

"Go and talk to her," Omar said as moved to stand beside Audra.

"And since when do you know anything about women?" Audra questioned.

"I don't know anything about women," Omar laughed, "but I do know that Andrew needs to talk to her. You've never been upset by a girl before son."

"Please stop knowing everything," Drew muttered.

"Go on, get," Audra laughed again, "I'll get dinner ready."

"Well at least it's stopped raining."

Drew made his way down the road towards Alli's house

"Or not," Drew said as the rain suddenly started pelting down once again.

He stopped when he reached the path leading to the front door. Shoving his hands in his pockets, Drew took a deep breath and started up the path. Halfway up, he stopped and turned, and walked back to the roadside again.

"what am I gonna… no I can't say… but what if…?" Drew mumbled to himself as he walked up and down Alli's front path, the rain still pouring down on him.

"Are you gonna come inside anytime soon?"

Drew looked up to see Alli leaning against the doorframe watching him.

"Uh…"

"Hurry up. Or you'll get sick."

Lowering his head in shame, Drew shoved his hands in his pockets once again and trudged into the house. Once they were inside, Drew spoke up.

"Look Alli I'm-"

"Sorry. I get it. But I don't see why you have to act all macho around me. I don't care about your reputation, or what happens to either of us here remember?"

"I know, I'm just… not used to being laughed at… especially by a girl I really like…" Drew finished shyly, lifting his head to look Alli in the eye slowly, scared of her reaction.

"Yeah I don't think many guys are"

"Shush. You know what I mean," he laughed as Alli moved closer.

"Yeah I do. And I'm not used to doing this whole 'friends with benefits' thing, or whatever it is, but I deal with it. So I don't see why you can't try," she said quietly as she moved to stand so their bodies were millimeters from touching, and looked up at his face.

"What's with everyone, but me being right today?" he mumbled with a slight hint of laughter.

"Its cos were all trying to look out for you," Alli laughed.

"Yeah you all have my best interests at heart, blah blah blah," Drew laughed as he lent his forehead against Alli's causing her to quiver.

"Its true," she giggled before pressing her lips to his, "Now you're all cold and wet. There are some of your clothes in my room I think… go and get changed and I'll get dinner started," Alli said as she turned and started walking to the kitchen.

"Uh… actually… my Mom is making dinner…" Drew said as he scratched the back of his neck

"Oh, well then I guess you better get a move on… no doubt your parents will be waiting for you," feeling slightly rejected.

Drew laughed and pulled Alli in for another hug, "she wants you to come too."

"Oh! Ok then! Ill just go and get changed!" She said as she speed walked to her room.

She changed into a blue shirt and matching skirt and some heels. She thought she looked pretty good if she must say so, but she was so nervous about having dinner with Drew's parents. What if they didn't like her? What if they thought she was a little slut who was corrupting their son? She had these thoughts all the way over to Drew's house as he drove in silence.

"I've been thinking about this, and I don't think it's such a good idea…"

"Alls… I'm hungry! Can we please go inside?"

"You go. I'll just head home and have something to eat there."

"No way. Come in for dinner! ?" Drew said as he turned to Alli with his puppy dog eyes.

"Drew!" she laughed.

"Come on" he said as he got out of the car and began to make his way to Alli's side of the car.

"Fine!" she said with a huff

Drew laughed and wrapped his arm around her shoulders before leading her up the front steps.

"Hey Mom, Dad, were back!" Drew called the moment they entered the house.

"Perfect timing. Dinners just about to come out of the oven. Come and sit down Alli, Andrew set the table" Audra said as she ushered the two further inside the house.

They all sat down as they began to eat the food that was prepared.

Alli set down her fork and let out a deep breath, "that was amazing Audra! I've never had lasagna as good as that before."

Audra laughed as she took a sip of her wine, "well thank you Alli, I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"I'm sorry you two, but I have to ask, how did you two get into this… situation? As far as I'm aware, you two have barely spoken to each other, let alone gotten to know each other on a personal level…"

"Omar, that's a bit – "

"Audra, its fine" Alli laughed, "pretty much, I told him where to shove it and for some reason, he saw it as a challenge – "

"And then she gave in to the Torres charm, and here we are today."

"Torres charm?" Audra laughed, while looking at Omar.

"You don't wanna know!" He said laughing as he shook his head.

"Actually, I think I do," Audra said with raised eyebrows as she turned to look at Drew.

"It's what Andrew and his friends call whatever it is that attracts girls to him. The legendary 'Torres Charm'."

"I hope its just charm Drew, and nothing else?"

"Nothing else at all Mom," Drew said as he tried to keep a straight face, while Alli and Omar continued to laugh.

"If you say son." Audra laughed.

"Well I should probably get Alli home now," Drew said after everyone had finally regained control of their laughter.

"Didn't you two drive her car?"

"Omar, shhh!" Audra said as she once again began to giggle.

"Well thank you for dinner Audra, I enjoyed it, and the company" Alli said as she too, began to giggle.

"Well goodnight Mom, Dad. I'll see you later" Drew said rolling his eyes at his mother and his… friend… as he and Alli made their way to the door.

"Be good son!" Omar called as he and his wife waved goodbye to the two teens.

"Mmmm don't move" Alli mumbled as she snuggled closer into Drew's embrace.

"Just let me get my arm out. I can't feel it anymore," he laughed slightly as he gently rolled Alli over so he could extract his arm from beneath her half-asleep body.

He looked down at her as he begun to work the little parts of his arms that she had latched onto so he could move it and stretch it out a lil bit. Seeing how she talked so freely with her parents amazed him. It took years for K.C. to become comfortable with Omar and Audra, but it took Alli minutes. And they'd seen her half naked.

And as for his parents, Drew knew that his mother didn't approve of his 'extra curricular activities' or at least the ones she knew of, and his father didn't like the girls who he normally hung out with, so seeing them laughing and joking with Alli as though she was and always had been part of the family, was a surprise.

He knew they liked her. He had seen it in his mother's eyes. Although she knew exactly what they'd been up to, she still had a glint in her eyes that showed she didn't mind, as long as it was with Alli. Omar on the other hand, could not stop smiling. He had a smile that showed he was immensely proud of his son for snapping up a 'keeper'. In fact, when the two of them were taking out the dishes.

Omar took a moment to tell Drew not to let her slip out of his grasp, 'if you don't hold onto her, someone will come in and take her from you'.

The fact that the three of them got on so well made him agree more and more with his father's statement. If guys at Degrassi could see what he was looking at right now, he was sure he would be booted out of Alli's bed within minutes. And he wasn't sure if he would be able to handle that. Two months ago, he was single, free and loving it. Now… he was tempted to take her for his own. Make it official that she was his, and no one else's.

"Mmmm Drew, come back," Alli whispered as she rolled over and pulled him down on top of her.

"I'm sorry, I'll stop giving you space," Drew chuckled.

"I don't want space. I want you to hold me tighter, while I finish sleeping." she mumbled as she pulled his mouth down onto hers for a passionate kiss.

When she was in the arms of Drew, she felt like she could be in that exact moment forever.


I'M SORRY! FOR THE WAIT!

I hope it was good enough!

In fact, I am so sorry, that I'm going to work on the next chapter now!

Bye guys!
