After we got to the town, I told Taurtis and Grian to go ahead home. Then I took Chrissy's hand and lead her to a place I knew she would love. I was right.

It was a small spring with big rocks lining the sides of it. Flowers and other colorful plants grew around the spring. We sat down on two rocks that were right next to each other.

"Wow," Chrissy said. "This is amazing."

"Well, I thought that since we haven't had any 'dates', this could be kind of a replacement," I said.

"It's amazing Sam. I love it." We smiled.

We talked for a bit, laughing, sharing stories, etc.

"Chrissy, can I ask you something?" I said.

"Sure Sam. Anything."

"After your father shot me, were you really scared? How did you feel about him?" Chrissy hesitated.

"I was scared Sam," she said. "When you fell, I ran over to you. I looked at my father with mixed worry and hatred. He didn't see me. He just left." She looked up at me and tilted her head. "Why do you ask?"

"I just thought, it must be hard for you, with your dad and all. Would you really leave him for me?"

"Of course, Sam. I'd give up everything."

It all happened in a crazy way. We leaned in to each other until our lips made contact. I felt her touch my ears and rub them softly. I wrapped one arm around her waist. Our free hands intertwined with each other as we kissed.

Her lips were so soft. It seemed that this was paradise, and nothing else mattered. I could feel them spreading her love to me. I had never experienced this before. I loved it. It seemed to go on forever. I didn't want it to stop. But, all good things must come to an end. We broke apart.

"Well," Chrissy said. "That felt good."

"Yeah," I said. "Well, I guess we should leave. It's getting late."

"We should." She stood up. I did too. We took hands and walked away from the spring.

I walked into our apartment to be greeted by Taurtis.

"Dude, that was amazing, " he said. "I wish I could've gotten that on camera. In the word of fangirls, 'I ship it!'"

"What?" I said, confused.

"He was spying on you," Grian said. "He was in the bushes."

"Grian was there too," Taurtis protested.

"Yeah, but I didn't watch. I looked away while you stalked them."

"Taurtis did you really?" I said angrily.

"Yes. Why?"

"Taurtis, you don't do that! Did I spy on you when you and Salex had your first kiss? Wait, did you even kiss at all?"

"No, you didn't, and you don't need to know that. Is it wrong?"

"Yes, Taurtis! That's so very wrong!"

"Well I don't know that, did I?"

"You should've!"

Grian stepped between us. "Guys," he said. "Stop fighting. You both should get some rest. We have school tomorrow. It's Monday." Me and Taurtis backed off. I immediately went to bed, not wanting to see Taurtis, and completely forgetting the note Chrissy's father gave him.

~A/N: Taurtis is officially a stalker. And I now know I am now the Queen of Italics. I use them more than anyone I've seen. Ever. :) OH MY GOSH YOU CAN ITALIC THE SYMBOLS!~
