Author's Comment: I'm sorry I haven't been updating. I've been on vacation and also have some writers block. So I'll post two chapters today. I hope you enjoy and don't forget to R&R.

Chapter 17 Those three words

Remus kissed Tonks again… and again… and again, with each kiss more passionate than the last one. As Tonks wrapped her arms around his neck, they leaned back onto the grass.

Unexpectedly, he felt a heavy drop of cold liquid fall onto his face. The drops started to get heavier and heavier. It took his brain a few moments to realize that it was raining. He had broken away from their kiss when it started pouring kneazles and dogs.

Tonks stood up amazingly and spread out her arms as far as they could. She started running around the grass and spinning in circles. She wasn't even fazed by the hard rain. Watching the way she glowed was overwhelming. At that exact moment, Remus knew it! He knew that he was in love with her!

"Tonks!" He ran up to her and kissed her again. She reached down to grab his hands and immediately Remus felt himself being tugged into a deep swoosh. He knew that he was back at 143 Hen Toe Street. The fact they had apparated back to her place didn't stop their passionate kissing.

Remus pressed her against the door and kissed her cheeks, neck, and lips. She appeared to be into the kiss just as much as he was, but Remus couldn't help but notice her awkward movement. It wasn't until a few seconds later that he saw that she was trying to open her door.

Once she had opened the door, he stopped kissing her as she slowly backed into her house. Remus wasn't sure if he should come in or not. Was this the end of their date?

But his confusion was quickly cleared up when Tonks suggestively said, "Do you wanna come in?"

"Are you sure?" Remus hoped that they weren't moving too fast.

"I want to be with your Remus," she wrapped her arms around him and whispered, "do you want to be with me?"

Knowing where things were heading, Remus looked into her eyes and said, "I love you Nymphdora."

Tonks, overwhelmed by Remus's humility, smiled and said back, "I love too!"

He knew it! He knew at that very moment that she was the one he was destined to be with. He started to kiss her again as Tonks pulled him into her house.
