Hey! Sorry it's been so long! Life has been so busy, you have no idea! Well, I got bored with trying to sleep and so I decided hmm…12:16 in the morning is a good time to write… so here is chapter 3 of If I never knew you after 7 months of not writing!! (sorry if I'm a little rusty!)

I walked to the diner table and sat down next to Raoul. He smiled at me sweetly and placed his hand on my knee. I looked up at him adoringly. Finally something was turning out right! Meg cleared her throat loudly. "Christine, could you pass the potatoes?" She asked, clearly trying to turn our attention away from each other.

"Uh, sure." I replied quickly passing the bowl towards her.

"So what's the next step on your project?" Meg's mother asked patiently, eyeing her son. Meg slouched in her seat and began moving her food around her plate.

"I dunno. I'm stuck." She replied bitterly glaring at me. "Christine was supposed to be helping me."

"I'm sorry! I'll see what I can do!" I glanced quickly at Raoul. He saw me and moved his hand to my thigh. His movement surprised me. I jolted upright nearly knocking the water glass off the table.

"Christine, what has gotten into you tonight?" Raoul asked laughing

"Sorry I guess I'm just a little up 'thight'." Raoul and I laughed uproariously at our shared joke. Meg who knew what was going on rolled her eyes and walked to the sink to begin clearing her spot. Mrs. Giry looked from one of us to the other (we were still laughing) confused. I was laughing so hard I dropped my fork on the ground. Raoul and I both bent down to pick it up at the same time. With our heads under the table, Raoul gently kissed me.

"I'm going to leave in a few minutes. Wait five minutes after I get out the door, and come outside." I agreed and we came back up, faces red.

"Sorry Mom." Raoul walked up behind his mother, where he placed his hands on her shoulders. He kissed her on top of her head. "I have to leave. I'll be back by 1."

"One in the morning? Raoul you will not! Come back here right now! Rauol…! Don't you walk at that door! Come here!" Raoul was walking away laughing.

"Good bye, mother!" he laughed shutting the door behind him. I jumped up to clear my spot.

"It so obvious you like him." Meg said looking at me out of the corner of her eye.

"I do not!" I said blushing. This is ridiculous! I thought We are acting like school kids! "Okay… maybe I do like him… Do you hate me?" I asked fearing her response.

"Of course I don't! I couldn't think of a better girl friend for my sister." She threw a handful of bubbles at me. We laughed and I grabbed a dish towel.

"I'm going outside to get some air." I said beginning to inch towards the door. I heard Meg mumble something to her mom that sounded oddly like "…more like to get some Raoul…" They snickered at my retreating figure.

Raoul met me at the door. We passionately locked out lips together. His tongue traced the inside of my lips. Was this really happening? Something was bound to go wrong... something always did…

"Christine?" Raoul moaned.

"Yes?" I replied pulling back

"I really do have to leave. I will be back by one though. When Meg falls asleep, come into my room." He embraced me one last time before getting into his car and driving off. Come into his room? Was a boy really asking me to come to his room? Could I do that? Would we do anything? What would happen? Did I want anything to happen? Why is life so full of questions?

The boy just left my angel. He must be in love with her. There is no other explanation for his actions… unless… Unless his intentions are more sinister than my own… this boy… he needs to learn his boundaries. If Christine won't show him… I will.

Sorry it's so short! I'm super tired now. And I know this chapter sucks, especially my lame joke… lol. It's now 12:43 so I wrote that in like less than 30 minutes… ha-ha. So please forgive! And reviews are welcome! I love them and appreciate them so much! Like you have no idea how much I love them! They make me want to sing. I'll make up a song about them right now!

Reviews mean more to me than apple pie!

Reviewers make me happy because they do not lie!

Reviewers in my heart will never die!

Because reviews are better than lame, critical sighs.

Oh wow. As you can see I'm very tired… lol. So in other words… I love reviews and reviewers!! Thank you and good night!

Ps. My goal will be to update by Friday. But who knows?
