*~The Cemetery~*

Marty arrived at St. Joseph's Cemetery wearing a long black cloak with a hood and a lacy black veil over her face. Crouching over slightly as she walked, she resembled any other of the little old ladies who visited the cemetery on a daily basis.

Todd was in the cemetery landscaping and moving heavy bricks. Standing near a grove of trees, Marty watched Todd work as he flexed his muscles. He had been working for many hours, moving bricks from one part of the cemetery to another. With the work crew's help from the juvenile detention center, the cemetery was quickly shaping up.

After hours of toting heavy bricks, Kurtz announced that the guys could take their break. Todd was glad as he walked toward a stone mausoleum to eat his sack lunch. When no one was watching, Marty grabbed Todd and tugged him behind the mausoleum.

"It's you," he chuckled. He removed Marty's hood and veil and stared down into her face.

Marty started giggling. Her voice was music to his ears. "It's either me or some creepy little old lady who wants to kiss you," Marty said.

Todd laughed as he tugged Marty closer. His lips met hers as they kissed for the first time. Sparks flew as Todd's tongue entered her mouth.

They were close to making out when a little old man and woman approached. "Excuse me, do you know where the-?" the woman began, but her voice trailed away when she saw Todd and Marty kissing.

Marty pulled her lips away from Todd's to see that an old man and woman were staring at them. Todd just chuckled low in his chest. He ignored their uninvited guests as he pulled Marty against him so he could kiss her again.
