Michael saw that Callie was awake.
" It's nothing for you to worry about. I went outside to get some air. You were fast asleep."
Callie looked at him.
" You never even asked me how old I am?"
" No, I didn't."
" I'm only 24."
Michael sat down.
" I saw Sara out there. She told me that you had your heart broken once before."
Callie looked down and nodded her head.
" You don't have to talk about it."
" It's hard to forget. It only happened last year. His name was Scott, he was the first."
Michael looked at her.
" I'm sorry Callie, he was a jerk."
" I thought he loved me, he said he loved me, but what the heck do I know about love?"
" You know when someone is in trouble and needs it, like you did for me."
" Michael, I never thought I would get over that, until I met you."
Michael kissed her and didn't let up on it. Callie reacted to it and it got deeper. Michael's lips left her and left a gentle trail down her neck. Callie then stopped him.
" We need to stop before this gets out of hand. As much as I feel this, I don't.."
Michael knew what Callie was talking about.
" I know, neither do I. I feel this too. I'm going to take care of you Callie, believe that."
Callie put a hand on his cheek and Michael pulled her closer.
" When you first met Sara, did you think you belonged with her?"
Michael looked down and nodded his head.
" I did, but I want to be with you. Are you scared Callie?"
" Yes."
" Things are going to work out for the best."
Callie smiled.
" I guess I need to stop being so negative."
" Go back to sleep. We should be arriving soon and then we wait and see what happens."
Callie gave him another kiss.
" I love you Michael, so much."
" I love you too."
