Early the following morning, Lisa got a call from her boss. He explained to her the situation they had going on for the next two weeks and told her that she was to have the next two weeks off with pay. She didn't argue one bit and was appreciative as her boss was aware of her circumstances. After she hung up the phone, she began kissing Scott on his neck.

"Now what do I owe this marvelous wake up call?"

"I was just going to ask you how would I go about getting a passport."

"And why are we asking about this now?"

"Because I was just given two weeks paid vacation and I don't know about you, but I sure as hell know where I want to spend it."

"I'm not going to ask why. Do you have your birth certificate with you?"

"As always even if does have her name on it."

"Let me make a quick phone call and see what we can do."

One phone call turned into two, and by the time Lisa got out of the bathroom, she could swear he was talking to someone else. He finally hung up the phone and pulled her into his arms.

"How would you like to be with me on a plane on your way to Windsor tomorrow?"

"I don't need a passport?"

"As long as you have your driver's license and your birth certificate, you are set and ready to go."

"What about a plane ticket Scott?"

"Taken care of."

"I'll have to go shopping for clothes once I get there, which will screw with my head because of the exchange rate."

"It'll be taken care of."

"You've just taken care of everything haven't you?"

"You in my arms for two weeks? Hell yea I'm going to take care of the formalities to make that possible."

"I still say you're crazy, but I love you anyways."

"I have a question. I probably know the answer but I'm going to ask anyways."

"Shoot."

"What is the rule about you meeting people?"

"You mean if a guy is allowed to touch me when you or I introduce them to me?"

"Precisely."

"Sadly, it's a no go. I freak the hell out. You notice I didn't touch you until I had been around you twice for at least 6 hours. Even then it was just a hug. If it's a girl, I'm fine with it. If it's a guy, I freak out. If Brandon walked up to me right now placing his hand on my shoulder from behind, until I was certain it was him, I'd be scared out of my mind. Still would be even afterwards. This is why I'm getting my vacation. These next two weeks are going to be full of guys shaking hands and physical contact I can't handle. My boss is really good about working with me on things like this."

"Did you have to explain it to him?"

"I edged around it, Mike helped, and he got the point. Anytime he does something I don't like, he tells me to shake my head at him to let him know."

"Sounds like you have a hell of a boss."

"That I do. That's why I am classified as part time. At a moments notice I could be taken out of the office for a week or two at a time, usually with pay."

"You're gonna have to tell Ericka."

"She'll be fine with it I hope. It's only for two weeks. She told me I can't move up there with you yet."

"Yet being the operative word. Hopefully, someday you can call my place home."

She stepped back out of his arms, taking a few deep breaths.

"Tell me what I did so I know not to do it again."

"Don't, can't say that around me. My only other quirk. I can take house, place I live, anything like that, but you can't use that word."

"Ah, hell."

"Exactly. The other two are the same way."

"I'm sorry baby."

"It's okay, you didn't know. Just can't hear or say that word, ever."

"Let's go back to bed baby. We've got a few more hours today."

Later on in the day Ericka was sitting with Lisa and she knew something was on her sister's mind.

"Spill it."

"I have two weeks vacation."

"That's not all, is it?"

"No, I'm booked on a flight to Windsor tomorrow."

"When do you come back?"

"With him."

"You at least better call and tell my son why you're not going to be home for two weeks."

"I will, and I will be calling from there too."

"Thank God you have the international plan."

"Hey a girl's always got to be prepared."

"You don't have a passport though."

"No I don't need one. Scott made a few calls to be certain about that before we finalized everything."

"As long as you're careful Lisa."

"Have been since day one."

"It's easier to get caught up in the moment than you think."

"Oh I know, I've come close a few times, but one of us has always remembered."

"Don't get me wrong, I'd like to be an aunt, just a little bit later on."

"We haven't even discussed that yet. I don't even know how I feel on that topic. Sure I'm fine with Playboy it's just the idea of one of my own hasn't crossed my mind."

"Just make sure you're careful."

"Yes Mom."

The following day, Lisa couldn't believe she was sitting in an airplane getting ready to fly to a different country. She was shocked out of her daze when Scott presented a piece of bubble gum to her.

"It helps with the pressure change."

"Thank you."

"You okay?"

"Just kinda shocked by all this but yea."

"I cannot wait to get you on my turf."

"Yea and I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb too."

"Who cares if you don't have an accent like mine? That's not important."

"Oh really? What is important?"

"Escaping the chaos together."

"You're going to get sick of me by day 5. You know this right?"

"Not on your life baby. I plan on showing you off within the necessary guidelines and every night you're going to sleep in my bed and in my arms."

"As long as we get to spend some time doing something just the two of us I'm fine with that."

"Oh you better believe you're going to get that too."

Almost 6 hours later, the plane landed and Lisa was glad to be back on solid ground. She wasn't sure about this whole flying thing yet. She was surprised how easily she got through customs, and as soon as they got their luggage, they were on their way to Scott's house. As he pulled into the driveway, he couldn't help but be giddy.

"God, this like a dream come true."

"What's that?"

"You here with me."

He got their things out of the car, and opened the door.

"House sweet house."

"Cute Scott."

"I'm trying."

"I know."

He took her on the tour of the house, promising to take her shopping tomorrow. Until then she threw on one of her shorts and tank tops to wear around the house. He was cooking dinner when he felt her arms around his waist and cheek on his back.

"I could get used to this."

"Used to what exactly baby?"

"You and I like this."

"Domesticated you mean?"

"Yea. It's hard to find another word most people would associate for what I mean other than that word."

"Ah, I get you. I could get used to this too baby."

"I love you."

Scott could tell by her voice something was bothering her.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"I just got here, and I'm already dreading going back."

He turned to place a gentle kiss on her lips and returned his eyes to the stove.

"If it helps any, I don't want you to go back either."

"Maybe this is a test to make us stronger."

"That way, when we finally do make that next step and move in together, we'll appreciate it more."

They sat at the island and ate dinner together. Afterwards, her hands went to his face, and she just stared at him. As he closed his eyes leaning into her touch, she couldn't help the tears of happiness that fell from her eyes. When Scott opened his eyes, he saw her crying but knew she wasn't sad. He brought his hand to her face, and brushed her tears away.

"Hey baby, no tears."

"I can't help it."

"Tell me?"

"I just never thought I was supposed to be this happy. Not someone like me."

"You deserve the world Lisa and so much more."

"I just need you."

"I'm right here baby and I don't plan on going anywhere."

He got up from the stool and walked over to her. He cupped her chin in his hand and whispered two words.

"Don't cry."

His mouth met hers, and a flurry of emotions clashed against each other. They remained there, kissing each other forever it seemed. They occasionally explored each other's necks but their mouths always reunited. Scott loved the moments they shared like this. He could kiss her for hours and she'd be happy with just that. She told him it was more emotional kissing him than it was making love to him. When they finally broke for good, he leaned his forehead against hers taking a few deep breaths.

"So what do you want to do now baby?"

"I would say kiss you some more but I don't think my lungs could handle it."

"How about we pick a movie out of the massive DVD collection you saw when you walked in and watch it on the couch?"

"As long as you're holding me, I don't care if we look at the walls."

"Oh I'll hold you alright!"

With that he started tickling her. That was the latest thing he had learned, in certain spots, she was extremely ticklish. He did it to put a smile on her face which he got, and the adorable sound of her laughing.

"No mas!"

"No way missy. What's the magic word?"

"I love you!"

"That's not it, but it will do for now."

"Thank you."

"I love you baby."

"I love you too Scott."

He picked her up from the stool, carrying her to his sofa and dropping her unceremoniously on it. She looked up at him with a look of disbelief on her face.

"What was that for?"

"To prove a point to myself."

"Can I dare ask what the point was?"

"That I can resist the urge I have to carry you down the hall right now and bury myself in you until you scream."

"As tempting as that sounds, we can watch the movie first, and then I'll let you do that."

"Does that mean we can't make out during the movie?"

"Listen at you. Depending on which one I choose, I may actually want to watch the movie. If I end up doing that, I'll make it up to you later."

"Okay."

Lisa ended up choosing "Million Dollar Baby" which caused Scott to groan cause that shot his make out chances to zero.

"Would you rather make out before the movie and suffer through it all?"

"You're evil woman."

Scott put the DVD in and came back over to the couch. She let him get in behind her, and before he could hit play, she stopped him.

"Baby…"

"Don't tease me Lisa, please."

"I'm not honey."

"Lisa…"

"I'm giving you what you want sweetheart."

"Want you…"

"Darling, please…"

"What is it my baby wants?"

"Make love to me right here, right now."

Scott had her on her back within seconds, his lips meeting hers furiously. By the time they had both reached their release, Scott had collapsed on top of her not even realizing it. With a joking tone to her voice she spoke.

"Are you sated for now love?"

It was then that he realized his position.

"For now. Baby, let me move, please."

She sighed heavily and they both lay on the couch.

"I just don't want to hurt you baby. That's all."

"If you are, you know I'd let you know. I just like to hold you close to me every once in a while after we make love, and I can't do that if you're jumping to get away from me."

"I'm sorry. I never thought of it that way."

"You're not as heavy as you think Scott. I may be a bit on the small side but I don't break that easily."

"I will try to be better about it."

"Okay. Now can we watch my movie?"

"Yes ma'am."
