Till I met you...

Megan Peters

Megan looked at him. Sympathy filled her eyes. "Oh, I am sorry." She said. But she couldn't do anything about this. He couldn't live with her. Her parents would kill her. She couldn't afford a house of her own. She didn't even have a job yet. "I wish there was something I could do." She said. She would be willing to help him in any way she could, as long as she didn't get in any trouble while doing it. Her days were up of the bad streak, well unless of course she was messed with. She wasn't the one to take crap from anyone.

"Nah, its fine..." He said and looked away from her eyes... "I'll be earning some money here in a couple days.. in a while I'll be able to afford a apartment or something..." He said and looked at her at last. He had to be tough. He couldn't let her see him weak like this. What if.. if she saw him weak.. she stopped liking him?

"Look... we shouldn't.. I mean.. who would want..." He said and turned away, whispering, "Someone like me...."

"Don't say that. I will always love you." She said. She leaned down to kiss him again. She felt bad that he thought she wouldn't love him anymore just because he didn't have a place to stay. How rude would that be? She was lucky her family had money. They weren't rich or anything, but they weren't poor. They could afford expensive things once a month, but that was about it. Maybe she should give him some money. She didn't have any on her though. She left it all at home.

[stephanie]

She told him that she'll always love him. The words echoed in his mind as she kissed him, and he smiled, tears coming at last to his eyes. It may be unmanly, but he couldn't help it. He kissed her gently, tenderly, wrapping both arms around her and pulling her into his lap. He buried his face in her hair. "I.. I.. love you, too..." He whispered in her ear, then wiped his eyes, still holding her in his arms. "And thanks.. no one has ever really cared that much about me.." He said and kissed her, his eyes dry this time. He closed his eyes and held her close, kissing her on the neck and trailing up to her chin and then finally her lips.

Megan let him kiss her from her neck to her lips. It felt so good. So natural. She had noticed his eyes tear up but said nothing. She knew how guys liked to obtain their manly image. She didn't object to it though. She liked it. Then she started laughing quietly. How professional. She wondered if anyone had actually seen them. What about the owner? What would she think of all this? Very unprofessional. She could just see the disappointed look. But she didn't care. She thought it was rather funny. She always did, even when she was young.

[stephanie]

Kissing her, he closed his eyes and held her just for a moment... He wanted her to be his forever. He wanted everything with her... She was beautiful, loving, and his heart belonged to hers. He looked at her and slowly ran his hands along her curves. "Do you want to.. you know... go.. all the way?" He asked. "I know its sudden and soon but... I.. There's no one else I'd want to do it with. I'd like to lose it to you.. only you.. no one else.. you're.. one of a kind.. beautiful..." He said softly in between kisses and heavy breathes. He looked at her... "Beautiful. You're so beautiful."

Megan Peters

Megan sat up straight. "Here? Now?" She asked immediatly. She did love him, but she couldn't do that now, and certainly not here. What would her parents think about that? She would get in a ton of trouble! And what would the other people at school think of her? Bad things! She couldn't do this again. She had already gotten in too much trouble the first time, and she wasn't going to go back there again. She had just gained her parents trust. She wasn't going to loose it so easily again. Not this time.

[stephanie]

"Whats the matter?" He asked, sitting up and facing her. He could tell something was wrong, but he could not tell what.. "Did I offend you? I'm sorry.. I... I shouldn't have asked it of you.. If you don't want to I understand... But I want your first time to be special... it... is your first time, right?" He looked deep into her eyes, then looked away. "Look, what happened? Everything was going fine... why... Why are you so scared all of a sudden?"

Megan looked at Daniel. "Nothing is wrong. And, yeah it would be my first time." She said. She tried to act casual, but she wondered if it was really working. She decided it probable wasn't though. She didn't want to relive the moment. Not right now atleast. She wanted to live in the present, not the past. "It's nothing." She replied calmly. She didn't want him to know about that part of her past. She would rather keep it a secret for a while longer. She only shared her past with her closest and dearest friends.

[stephanie]

He sighed and looked at her... "Alright, well if you don't want to thats fine. I'm just happy you're my girl." He said and pulled her into a hug. Then he gently kissed her nose. "I love you, Megan. Your feelings are very important to me.. as corny as it sounds, I'm head over heels for you." He said and smiled a little. "Hey... we'll be able to share our first time together someday... Listen, I'll talk to you later.. I gotta go do some stuff... I'll find your number and call you." He said softly, kissing her lips gently. He took her hand and rubbed it. "I love you. Never forget that, okay?" And he left.

Several Weeks Later...

He had been busy and had forgotten to call. Now, nervously, he called her number. "Hey megan..." He said as he reached an answering machine. "Um.. Sorry I didn't call but hey.. I'd really like you to come to dinner with me tonight, under the stars at the stables. I'll see you at seven. I have... well.. just please meet me there."

Megan Peters

"Ok, bye!" Megan called after him. She got and left.

A few weeks later.

Megan had gotten Daniel message before her parents luckily. She had been able to sneak away for a few hours. So, at seven, Megan got ready for dinner. He had said dinner under the stars, so Megan put on her cute pink mini skirt with a cute tank top.

She arrived at the stables a few minutes early. She stepped out of her car and looked around for Daniel. She waited patiently until she saw him.

[stephanie]

Daniel had a little table with a candlelit in the center and rose petals on the table. Dinner was chicken and a little punch to go with it and strawberries with chocolate dipping. Daniel looked at her and smiled. "Come here..." He said. "I've known you for a while now.. you're a great girl in my life. You take my breathe away. That's why I want you to remember this moment forever..." He said and bent down on one knee, pulling out a ring. "Megan Peters.... Will you marry me?"

Megan Peters

Megan's mind filled with shock. It was all so soon to her. Did her even know how old she really was? But she would feel horrible if she said no. She really did love him. "Daniel. I.... I love you.... but I can't get married yet." She admitted. After all, she was only sixteen. "I don't know if you knew. But I am only 16." She looked down and was silent for a few moments before looking back up at him to see what he would say. She was afraid. She didn't want him to break up with her.

[stephanie]

"Then I'll wait... " He said and kissed her reassuringly. "I'll wait until you are eighteen.. and then you can say yes. Twenty if you like." He said softly. "Or later, even.. I'll wait as long as you need to wait." He said softly, and kissed her gently. "I love you, too.. that will never, ever change." He said gently and took her hand. "Lets enjoy this dinner... Okay? We'll still make this a splendid night..."

Megan smiled. "Sound.... perfect." She went over to the table and sat down. "This looks delicious." She said happily. She was so lucky to have a guy like Daniel. But she wondered deep in the back of her mind how long this all would last. Her relationships normally didn't last all that long. She was happy right now. It was all so perfect. Daniel was all so perfect. She didn't know how much more perfect this night could get. She wished this would go on forever. But it would have to end sometime. She just hoped no time soon.
