(A/N: Happy Friday! This chap is M again, for pretty much the same reason as the last one. In my defense, it's logical progression. Can't stop teenagers lol. Hope you like the chapter, and thanks for reading. Have a great weekend.)

Sydney POV

The soft sound of Dad typing and Mom lounging next to me is a nice backdrop for a Friday after school.

Austin is upstairs playing video games with Kevin, Matt and Corey.

Ellie is getting a drink.

And I'm happy.

Happy happy happy.

"Ugh, looking at all that food is making me hungry." Ellie said, plopping next to me.

Mom quietly laughed.

"Except for the salt."

"Yeah. The salt." She said.

I shudder a little bit.

So. Much. Salt.

And it's so gross.

I swear her solution to everything is freaking salt.

Oh, you just put some butter in the pan? You need salt!

It's halfway done? Salt speeds up cooking!

Oops, I spilled something on my shirt. Salt down my shirt.

Salt, salt salt!

This crazy lady is singlehandedly keeping the salt mines open.

"Do they get table salt from salt mines?" I ask.

Ellie shrugged.

"I don't know." Mom said. "Can you look it up Robbie?"

"Already on it…after I add some salt to my keyboard."

The three of us suddenly burst into raucous laughter.

Ellie is hunched over she's laughing so hard, and I end up putting my head on her.

Dad quietly laughed too. "Yeah…funny."

We keep on for about 20 more seconds, then start pulling ourselves back together.

"You're funny! I see why you're a comedian!" Ellie smiled.

I pop up and see dad look back to his keyboard calmly. "Thanks Ellie."

"I got an answer if anybody still wants it." He said.

"Yes please!" Mom perched herself on top of the couch, looking at Dad.

"Okay…table salt comes from 3 places. Mines, the ocean or evaporation farms."

"Hmm. The internet has spoken." Ellie made a karate chop towards me.

I smile at her.

"Isn't the ocean and evaporation farms the same thing?" Mom asked.

"Yeah. You'd think so wouldn't you?" Dad said, spinning to face us.

Then he went back and typed some more.

"What's so funny?" Corey suddenly said.

Ellie, Mom and I all look to the stairs, where Austin and Corey are coming down.

"Hey guys. What's up?" Mom said softly.

"We heard you laughing and came to investigate." Austin said, as Corey came to hug Ellie.

"Hi Ellie!" He smiled.

"Hey Corey. Having fun?"

Corey happily nodded, then came and hugged me.

"Hi Sissy."

"Hi." I say.

"What are you looking up?" Austin asked Dad.

"Sydney is curious where table salt comes from." Dad replied, as Corey got pulled onto the couch in a massive Mom hug.

"Momm! Strangling me!" Corey said, trying to escape.

Mom lower her hands but didn't let him go.

Corey laughed and kept squirming.

"I don't get what was so funny." Austin said, coming to the couch.

"Have you ever seen Daula Meene?" I ask.

"Yeah, she uses salt way too much. My mom loves…oh." He said, as the commercial ended to show the salt queen back on.

"I joked that I needed to add salt to my computer, which they thought was hilarious." Dad said, still typing.

"But that's not funny." Corey broke the silence.

"You had to be there sweetie." Mom said, as she let him get away.

"…Okay."

"Are you staying for dinner Austin?" Ellie asked.

"I don't know. Not that I'm aware of yet." He said, then checking his phone for his grandma. "Today might be a scavenger day."

"Scavenger day?" Mom and Dad both looked to him.

"Yeah. I go get something or have leftovers. She doesn't cook everyday." Austin explained.

"Why scavenger? Isn't that bad?" Corey asked him.

"Not bad, just a handy phrase." He told Corey.

"You can stay Austin." Dad told him.

"Really? Thank you. I'll text her." Austin said.

"Your grandparents text? That's awesome!" Ellie said.

"Yours don't?" Austin asked her.

"No. Don't know why." Ellie said.

Austin settled next to Dad and the rest of us settled into watching TV.

"My grandma says I can stay. It is a scavenger day. I just have to be home by midnight."

"Great. Then I'm drafting you and Syd into service for me." Dad said happily.

"Huh?" I say, popping up off the couch.

"I need you two to go to the grocery store…and get chicken breasts, salad stuff, OJ, Milk and coffee packets."

I look to Austin, who is typing in his phone.

"What are the last 3 again?" He asked.

"Orange juice, milk and coffee packets."

"Those Couric coffee packets?" Austin asked.

"Yep." Mom said.

"Okay. So chicken breasts, salad stuff, OJ, Milk and coffee packets?" Austin read his list back.

"Yep. That's it." Dad said.

"Can I come?" Corey asked.

Austin immediately looked to my Dad.

"Sure. If you guys don't mind." Dad told Austin.

"I'm fine with it."

"I'm coming." Ellie popped off the couch.

Austin suddenly groaned.

"What?" Mom asked him.

"Nothing. Just kidding." He smiled at Ellie.

Ellie eyes him beadily. Then punched his arm.

"Hey!" I say.

"I'm fine, she can't hurt me." Austin shrugged me.

"Oh yeah I can. I just haven't tried yet." She said.

Mom made a loud noise. "No Ellie."

"Don't worry Mrs. Valentine. I'll be fine. You know why?" Austin smiled.

He's being more personable.

I smile and look from him to mom.

"It's Cat Austin. And don't underestimate her." Mom smiled.

"Yeah. Her mom was a devil back in the day at Ellie's age." Dad added on.

Austin shook his head, then scooped Ellie up and lifted her over his shoulder.

And he made it look easy.

"PUT ME DOWN THIS MOMENT AUSTIN HARPER!" Ellie yelled, as Mom burst into hysterical laughter, then grabbing for her phone.

"We'll be back later." Austin smiled at Dad, and then turned to me.

"Can we take your SUV?"

"Sure. Let's go." I smile, as Corey poked Ellie's leg.

"AUSTIN!"

Austin laughed and posed for a photo for Mom, then carried her out the door.

Ellie started kicking and squirming once we shut the front door.

"Let me goo!" She cried out.

"But this is so fun!" Austin countered, as Corey laughed.

"No it's not!"

"I think it is." I say.

"And that's all that counts in my mind." Austin said, then depositing Ellie gently at the open back seat door.

She whacked his arm, and he frowned at her.

"Don't hit him." I say firmly, as everybody closed their doors.

"But you saw what he did. Not cool! Your mom is going to post that online and everyone is going to freak out!"

Oh.

I quickly grab my phone and text mom.

"Plz don't post that on Splashface."

Splashface has been awful.

People have been giving us crap ever since Monday about seeing Austin and I together. Posting stuff like I'm a slut, he's a douchebag, we look awful together, I should start dieting because I look fat…

Just awful.

"Baby I just texted it to Jade. It's not going online. We know how bad the backlash from your stroll thru the park is. Don't worry. Love, Mom."

I had my phone to Austin and back out of the driveway.

"Go sissy!" Corey cheered.

"Thanks Corey." I say softly.

"What does it say?" Ellie asked Austin.

"Her mom isn't posting it online because it'll out me as Sydney's boyfriend and people already are mad enough as it is." He said.

"Mad? Why are they mad?" Corey asked.

Uh oh.

"Because people are dumb and can be big jerks. There are just some people that hate to see other people be happy. Which is sad." He said.

Well said.

"Well that's dumb. I like you Austin. You're cool." Corey said.

Austin smiled and turned to the backseat.

"Thanks man."

Corey gave him a high five, and I pulled out of the neighborhood.

Complete Foods isn't far away.

Austin kicked on the radio, and before long everybody was singing.

To my surprise, including him.

He finally is loosening up.

Just thinking that makes me smile as I pull into the Complete Foods Parking lot.

I'm lucky enough to find a spot about halfway in the parking lot. Which is lucky because usually it's packed and I have to park at the back.

"Can I get a sucker? Please sissy?" Corey asked.

I frown at him.

"Is that why you came?"

"No, I wanted to be with Austin and Ellie and you too." He smiled.

I hear Ellie go "Aww." In the background.

"Sure. Just don't tell your mom." Austin said.

"Yay!" He said, then started running to the front.

"No running!" I yell.

Then I look to Austin.

We both yelled it.

"Ok. Sorry." Corey stopped and waited for us.

We all happily walked thru the automatic door, and I grab a cart.

"I got it." Austin smiled at me, then took control.

Then he and Corey took the lead, letting Ellie fall back to me.

"He's so sexy when he takes control." She whispers in my ear.

"I know. I hope we can go for ice cream later." I smile at her.

She's smart enough to know what that means.

"Oooh girlll…" She smiled at me.

She doesn't know about the last few times we've made out.

I haven't worked him off, he hasn't let me. But…

Everything below my hips has felt really tight.

And everytime he puts his hands on the bottom of my thighs I become…nothing.

I just collapse on him.

"Shh. Corey's here." I say.

"You guys better be safe. Things might get hot and heavy pretty soon." She said.

I look around, then glare at her.

"You're not helping."

"Whoa! Defensive much?" She smiled.

"Shut up." I say.

Then I feel somebody tap my shoulder.

"What?" I snap, turning ar—

OH MY GOD.

Ellie gasped and the woman in front of me smiled.

"Hi! I'm not interrupting anything am I?"

"I…" I sputter out.

"No. You're not. Hi!" Ellie recovered first.

It's Jennifer Lawrence.

I love her.

She's….my idol.

"Hi! I didn't mean to startle you guys or anything. I just saw you and thought "Hey! Is the Ellie Oliver and Sydney Valentine?" then came over.

"That's us." I say quietly.

"She's a huge fan of yours. Give her a moment to reboot her brain." Ellie smiled at her.

"No problem. I've had fans pass out, so as long as we don't need anybody to come over, we'll be fine. Congratulations on getting signed by Republic by the way!" She smiled at me.

"Thank you…I…you're an amazing actress."

I sound like an idiot.

"Thank you! I was checking online the other day when I stumbled upon the pictures of you and a guy downtown. Congratulations." She smiled at me.

"You know they're dating?" Ellie asked.

"No, what?" She asked, looking giddy.

"Uhh…yeah." I blush.

"Congratulations! That's great!" She hugged me.

I freeze, then quickly hug her back.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" She asked Ellie.

"No. Guys don't seem to like me." She frowned.

"Hey. Don't get down on yourself. Look at me! I'm a grown ass woman who's never been married. I'm happier single. Don't be afraid to be yourself."

Ellie smiled and nodded. "Okay."

"Why are you here?" I ask.

"I need food. Just got back from filming a movie. All I had in the fridge was expired yogurt." She frowned.

"Any idea what you want?" Ellie asked.

"No. I was going to meander thru the aisles and see what inspired me. What about you two?"

"We're grocery shopping." I say.

"Don't you need a cart or basket?"

I see Ellie open her mouth, but then I hear "There you guys are!"

Ellie and I turn to see Austin and Corey coming to us.

"I…we got distracted. Sorry." Ellie told Austin.

"By who?" He asked.

"Me. Hi, I'm Jennifer."

Austin popped his head up, and froze.

"You're the lady from the Hunger Games movies! Corey cheered, then hugged her leg.

"yeah, hi! Who are you?"

"I'm Corey!" He beamed.

"Corey…your brother?" She lit up.

I nod happily.

"You're a cutie! How old are you?" She smiled, as Austin looked to me, then made a gesture like "What the heck?" and smiled.

"I'm 8. You're pretty." Corey said.

Ellie and Austin smiled.

"Nice one bud." Austin gave his a fist pound.

She hugged Corey again, then stood up and look Austin up and down.

"Are you…is this the guy from the picture?" She asked me.

"You saw that?" Austin asked.

"Yeah. I love Sydney. She's gonna be huge. So?" She smiled at me.

"Yeah."

She lit up and smiled at Austin. "Hi. You're the boyfriend?"

"Yeah, Austin Harper." He smiled.

"He has a name too!" She joked, getting everyone to laugh.

"Can you do us a favor? Or…do them a favor?" Ellie suddenly asked.

"Sure! What is it?" She smiled at Austin and I.

"Please take a picture of them. One of these days they'll have to tell the world they're together. And she'll have a background picture for her phone."

Jennifer beamed and nodded.

"I'm not looking." He said as I hand her my phone.

"On 3. 1…2…3!"

Click.

"Great. Now I want pictures with everyone." She said.

Corey jumped first, then Ellie, then Austin, then me.

"Great. I'll post these when I get home. Except for his. I'll save that one until you guys are public." She smiled.

Wait…

I turn to Austin and say "Why not now?"

"Huh?" He said.

Ellie squealed, as Corey walked back to the cart for something.

"Do it! People will love it." Jennifer smiled. "And I can post the pictures."

Austin turned to me. "Are you sure? You were against it just yesterday."

"Yeah. I don't want to hide you anymore."

"Aww…" Jennifer and Ellie say.

Austin blushed, but smiled.

"Okay. You can send it out whenever."

"Great!" Ellie cheered.

"Yeah. I'll let you guys get back to your shopping. It was great meeting you!"

"Great meeting you too!" I say.

"yeah! I'll DM you my number! Maybe we can do lunch or something!"

"Okay! Bye!"

Ellie turned to me. "You lucky…"

"Corey's here!" Austin jumped in.

"Huh?" He said.

"Hi." I smile at Corey.

"We're done. While you girls were chatting us men did all the hard work. Right Corey?"

Corey suddenly stopped and flexed.

I laugh and smile, as Austin started to the registers.

"You guys can go to the car. We got this." He said.

"Okay." Ellie smiled.

We walked to the front, and I logged onto splashface.

"Hey everyone. Hope you're having a good day. Just wanted to post a picture of me and the mystery man! AKA, my boyfriend!"

I add his splashface name, AustinHarper6, then the picture of us and send it off. Then write another one.

"It was great meeting you JenniferLawrence!"

I add the picture of us and unlock the car at the same time.

Once we both get in, Ellie screamed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"What?" I ask.

"You're finally together for real now!"

"We've been together for awhile now."

"Yeah, like 3 months. School ends soon. Splashface is going to flip out." Ellie smiled.

"I know." I say, as the back opened up.

"We're back." Austin said.

"And we have surprises!" Corey chimed.

Corey went to Ellie's side and opened the door, and Austin got my door.

He smiled then handed me a bouquet of flowers.

I smile, then look at him.

"Austin…"

He smiled, and then kissed me.

"Eww! Gross!" Corey yelled.

"Yeah! Absolutely! Get a room you two! Gosh." Ellie said.

Austin laughed, then hugged me and shut the door.

"What'd they get you?" I ask Ellie.

"Corey gave me a rose." She smiled, holding up a rose.

"Aww. That's thoyghtful of you Corey."

"it was Austin's idea. They were on sale."

Well.

That doesn't diminish them at all.

They're still gorgeous.

Austin hopped in, and I start back home.

About halfway home, Austin turned to me and said "I've gained 75,000 followers so far."

"What?" I yell.

Ellie laughed and Corey cheered.

"Go Austin!"

"What are they saying?' Ellie beat me to the punch.

"They think I look like a clothes model, and that we're the cutest couple of all time." He said flatly.

I quietly giggle.

"What's a clothes model?" Corey asked.

"Somebody who wears clothes so people can take pictures of him bud." Austin said.

"That's dumb." He said, as I pull into the driveway.

"Hopefully I'm not dumb." Austin said sarcastically, getting out.

"No! You're not!" Corey said suddenly, flying out of his seatbelt to meet Austin at the back.

By the time I get there, Corey is hugging Austin.

"You're not dumb. I'm sorry."

"It's all good man. Can you carry that in for me please?" he asked.

Corey took the bag and ran it.

I move to get a bag, but Austin has them all.

"Men." Ellie shook her head.

"What? I see no use in wasting time." He said, leading us all in.

"We're back!" Ellie called out, and next thing I hear is Mom squeal and tackle me.

I barely have time to move the flowers before she's on me.

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks mom." I say happily.

"We both already followed you, so cat's out of the bag. Sorry." I see Dad smile, taking the bags.

"It's all good." Austin smiled.

"Why'd you wait so long?" Mom climbed off me.

"Sydney. That's why." Ellie said.

"It's no big deal."

"Flowers!" Mom cheered.

"Can I put them upstairs?" I ask.

She nodded, and I go upstairs, followed by Corey and Austin.

Corey went to the media room, and Austin followed me.

Once we get behind cover, he lifted me up and kissed me passionately.

"Ice cream?" He gasped into my ear, then kissing my neck.

"Please." I say, then kiss him back.

"Do you want to go straight to our spot? Or what?" he asked, putting me down.

Our spot is the field behind Hollywood Arts. It's woods, so we can have some privacy.

It's where we usually go to make out in the back seat.

"Yes please."

"Got it. I'll ask your dad, then butter him up by playing with your brothers. Ok?"

I smile and kiss him again.

He followed me downstairs, only to have the guys rush out into the back yard.

"Uhhh?" I say.

"Baseball. What's up?" Mom said, as Dad was starting on dinner.

"I was just going to ask if I can take her for ice cream after dinner."

I see Mom smirk at Dad.

"No kissing!" I hear Corey say.

I whip around and say "I thought you were outside!"

"Now I am!" He crept outside.

I look back to see mom and dad smiling.

"Don't worry about him. As long as we don't see it…" Dad joked.

Ellie was the only one to laugh.

"Loosen up. Silly." Mom ruffled Austin's hair.

"We already know they kissed when he stayed here." Dad said.

"WHAT?" Ellie and I yell.

Dad smiled.

"Sydney, you're not nearly as sneaky as you think. I'll say that." He focused on the lemon chicken.

"What…do you mean?" Austin said.

"All those nights I was working in the basement. And I heard her go backupstairs at like 5AM every morning."

Ellie turned to me, jaw on the floor.

I'm red.

Redder than a tomato.

"You didn't even see me on Thursday morning. I was right here getting water. I heard the kiss, and saw you creep right by me." Dad said.

Damn.

"Sorry." I mutter.

"Just keep it PG-13. That's all we ask." Mom said.

Ellie laughed, and I glare at her.

"Y'all are gonna need a talkkkk…" She beamed.

"Already had it." Dad said.

Austin and I look at each other, then to Ellie.

"Are you serious?" She asked.

"Yeah. They know the rules." Dad said.

"No telling your parents this. Ok?" Mom said to Ellie.

"You can't stop me." She talked back.

Austin scooped her up and turned to me.

"AUSTIN!" Ellie screamed.

"Get the door please." Austin told me.

Mom dashed by me and got it.

"Okay. Here's how this is going to go. You promise to keep quiet, or you go into the pool. If you talk, you go in the pool." Austin said, walking out the door.

"You won't." She said.

"Don't doubt him." I say.

Mom giggled.

Austin got all the way to the pool.

"promise."

Ellie definitely stayed silent.

"One…"

He swung her out, and she jumped in his arms.

"Two…"

"I PROMISE!"

"Too late! THREE!"

He tossed her, she screamed and then—

SPLASH!

"YOU'RE SO DEAD!" Ellie screeched.

Austin laughed and dashed inside.

Mom smiled and hugged me.

"Don't kill him please!" I ask, as Ellie got out of the pool.

"I'm borrowing your clothes at least." She grumbled.

"I'll get you a towel sweetie." Mom said.

Luckily, Ellie never caught up to Austin. Thru a variety of tricks, he evaded her the entire time dad cooked dinner.

Then at dinner mom and dad made her behave over a conversation of summer plans and ideas.

Then suddenly, Austin was saying "We'll be back at 11:30!" and shutting the door.

"C'mon…" I drag him to my car.

I need my boyfriend.

Like…now.

I drive like a maniac, but a careful maniac.

"So…what's the line tonight?" he asked.

He wants to know what we're doing?

"I'm not sure. But everything is in play." I say.

He lightly smiled.

"Don't get that worked up. I'm not 100% sure yet." I say.

"I know. But at least it's in play."

He confessed to me on Wednesday that he had a dream about me and him, and that once he woke up he couldn't go back to sleep.

He said that if I'd been there, something could have happened.

I…I don't know.

At least not yet.

I pull into the woods, and find our spot.

We quickly open the back and climb in.

He happily pulled me into his arms.

"Thank you…so much. I can't say how much I love you." He whispered into my ear.

I sigh and pull him onto me and kiss him.

He quickly turned us over, so that he was the powerless one and pulled me closer.

I gently grind him and smile, knowing that he has a hard time keeping his mind off that.

It's his weakness.

He replied by putting his hands on the bottom of my thighs and running them up and down.

I subconsciously moan and gasp.

Oh my god…

Ohhhhhh wow.

God this feels good.

We keep missing, and I have to focus on grinding him softly.

His light moan tells me he's good.

But I'm not.

I'm tightening up.

No.

Not now.

I want to make out with him!

Oh god…

I break apart from him, and groan as I lay my head on hsis shoulder.

"What's wrong? Too handsy?" He asked.

"Not you…me." I say.

Dang it!

"Baby…what do you mean?" He said softly.

"I…can't."

"Sydney…"

"I'm getting your problem." I admit.

It feels too good.

I feel like him.

It's too soon, but god I want it.

I know he'll make it awesome.

"You…you're excited? Like me on the beach?" he asked.

"Not that specifically, but the same idea, yeah."

He…had an orgasm thanks to me. Three actually.

One time on our date that Saturday, and once when I drove him home after I met Jordan.

But he can't return the favor.

"You serious?" He asked softly, then kissing my neck.

I groan softly and squirm in his arms. "Uh huh. But we can't."

"Forgive me for asking why we can't?" he asked.

"I…you won't. It isn't the same." I say sadly.

"Sydney. Can I tell you something you'll never repeat?"

I nod into his neck.

"I owe you. Okay? That was the first time I'd done…anything. I feel bad that we've done it 2 other times, and you haven't gotten anything out of it. If you want to, I'll never tell a soul." He said.

"I got to see your face afterward. It was like you had the best day ever." I say. "That's something I got from it."

"You're dodging. And you know what I mean." He said.

"yeah…"

"So?" he asked.

"You won't mind?" I gasp.

"Never." He kissed me.

"I…I'll try not to be too rough." I say.

He laughed quietly.

"Yeah, like me."

He had me pinned against the seats last time. It was like those sex scenes in the movies.

He told me his instincts just took over and he started thrusting. But with clothes on.

"I don't know how I'll react." I say.

"Just enjoy it. I'll try to keep calm." He said.

"Wait…don't."

"What?" he said.

"If you get hard, go after me. I'll make it better." I tell him.

And it'll be hot.

Steamy.

"Syd, I know I'll get hard. Okay?"

"Then fucking do it okay?" I order him, getting impatient.

He nodded, then kissed me.

I gently roll us over so that he's on top.

Ohhhhhh god.

He's going.

He's not even being shy about it.

He's kissing me and grinding me.

Wow.

I impulsively pull him closer and try to grind him back, even though I'm in terrible position.

And I'm tightening up again.

I let go and gasp "God don't stop. Don't ever stop."

He kissed my neck and kept going.

I let out a quiet "Ohhhh god."

He laughed quickly and kissed me.

The more he grinds me, the tighter and tighter I get.

I really think I'm going to explode.

"Austin…I…not much longer." I say.

"Me too." He said roughly.

"Don't kiss me. I wanna hear it." I say.

He kissed my neck and I grab him around his neck.

Before I know it, our soft moans are getting us into a rhythm, and this is starting to feel really, I mean REALLY good.

"Oh Austin…oh shit…" I moan.

He kept going, and I feel myself hitch.

"Austin…I…oh shit…"

Here we go.

I grit my teeth and totally forget about being nice and just start humping him for dear life as my entire body goes rigid.

I feel him cover my mouth gently, and realize he's pressed against me, looking like I feel.

Then suddenly a second sensation comes over me, and he suddenly collapsed into my chest.

I can't stop my scream, but he muffled it with his hand still over my mouth.

Ohhhhh…

Ohhhhh…

Wow.

I let out a quiet groan, and grip his back.

Where'd his shirt go?

"Austin…where'd your shirt go?" I ask.

"You…took it off. Are…you're ok right?" he asked gently.

"I…never better." I say.

"Did I do ok? I…I didn't hold back. I couldn't stop."

"It's ok." I hold him. "It's better that way."

"That…was awesome. Did you…like it?" he asked.

"My mind is totally blown. I don't know how I'm gonna do without that." I admit.

He kissed me, then smiled.

"I agree. We might actually be those hormonal monkeys." He joked.

I laugh.

"Yeah…especially if you give me more of that…it's better than bibble." I say.

He knows how much I love bibble.

"I hope I'm better than bibble. Can I say something for us only?" He said.

"Okay."

"I hope I don't scare you…but I'm starting to look forward to when we can do it for real." He said quietly, then kissed me.

I quickly pull him onto me and kiss him back.

"Me too. We…we'll figure out a time." I say.

"No rush. I can wait." He said quickly.

"I can too…but if a opportunity arises…I don't know if I'll be able to resist." I admit.

The things this guy does to me…

"Wanna listen to the radio? So we can calm down, then just kiss?" He said.

I smile and hold him close.

"I…I might need you again. Will you help me?"

I still have more in me. I can feel it.

"If you want me to, I'll do it. But nothing without your permission." He said, putting his hands on my hips.

I slip them under my shirt and smile.

"One day you'll know what you have permission to do." I smile.

He shook his head, then kissed me.
