"Ok… so I have text books – check. A new desk lamp – check. Uhm… Declan? Do you know if we got the- " Holly J's sentence was interrupted by a sudden wrapping of arms around her torso. Declan had run up behind her and quickly wrapped his arms around tightly to distract her from her constant stressing. She dropped the notebook and pencil in unexpected shock; nevertheless she had a smile spread wide across her gorgeous face.

They were about to enter their junior year at Yale University and all Holly J could do was obsess over the last couple of days was getting all the supplies together.

"Holly J!" Declan said kissing her cheek. "We've done this how many times," he continued kissing her other cheek. "I told you for the millionth time. Stop worrying!" he said this time pulling her chin up and kissing her softly on the lips and she kissed him back enjoying every second of it.

Holly J bent down and picked up the dropped notepad and pencil. She flashed Declan a 'you're right' look and Declan knew she was coming around. He took the notepad and pencil from her hand and placed it on the small side table next to them. He gave her a charming smile and took both of her hands in his pulling her over to the couch. Holly J smiled brightly and looked down letting her bangs fall into her face while her stomach filled with butterflies.

Declan sat down first and Holly J sat next to him tucking her legs underneath her. Their hands linked together and neither smile faded on their faces.

"So if we're not going to finish packing for Yale, what are we going to do then?" Holly J asked smartly.

"Let's play a game..." Declan suggested confidently raising his eyebrow with a small smirk.

"A game?" Holly J asked with a confused look on her face, but never losing her smile. She couldn't help but wonder what Declan was up to.

"Yes... a game! Why not? It will relieve some of the stress" he replied.

She nodded waiting for further instructions and as she expected Declan continued.

"We're going to play 21 Questions. We're allowed to ask any question and the other person has to give the completely honest answer"

Holly J processed what he was saying and then nodded in agreement. "All right. On one condition" she said.

"What?"

"You go first" she smiled.

Declan gave a small chuckle and agreed with her terms.

"I'll start then," Declan began. "I'll start things off easy. Do you love me?" he asked her.

Holly J threw the couch pillow that was next to her at him and he caught it chuckling lightly. "What was that for?" he asked holding the pillow in front of him.

"That was a stupid question!" she declared. "I feel jipped!"

"I told you I was going to start off easy" Declan defended.

She sighed lightheartedly accepting the question and looking down into her lap. After a few beats of peaceful silence she finally looked up into is stunning blue eyes.

"I am absolutely crazy about you. We've been together almost a total of four years and everyday feels like the first. Every kiss still gives me butterflies and you still continue to surprise me. To say I didn't love you would be the biggest lie I've ever told. I am completely and unmistakably in love with you, Declan Coyne"

His eyes light up as he stared right back into hers. "I love you so much, Holly J," he said leaning forward and kissing her again. "Your turn" he smirked cunningly as he pulled away slowly.

She sat there thinking for a moment and then finally spoke. "Well… remember when you first told me you loved me?" she said looking down.

Declan nodded.

"What made you decide to do that..? Why then?" she looked back up at him.

Declan in took breath and got ready to answer.

Authors Note: I would really like to thank everyone for all their support and comments. It really means a lot and I do love hearing from you guys. Every person who tells me they love Dolly J adds a bigger smile to my face. I was nervous to write a Dolly J story at first and post it publically because this is my first Fan Fiction, but you guys have been really sweet and I really want to thank you. I understand this is kind of a slow chapter, but it's one of those boring chapters in books that are actually kind of necessary to set something up. I know some of you won't like the skipping in time, but for plot purposes I felt that it was best. Thanks again for your guys's support. Never stop believing in Dolly J . Can't wait to post the next chapter.
