     When her parents informed her that they'd be spending the weekend at a conference in Boston, she immediately invited Rick over for a movie date. That's where they find themselves on this Saturday night: wrapped in each other's arms on the couch watching Scream. She smiles at the happiness she feels whenever she's in his arms. She forgets about the stress of final exams, the pain of missing Royce, the anxiety that comes with being a teenager. He makes her feel whole and beautiful. He runs his fingers through her curls, "What're you thinking about?" He asks.
     Then there is that. His ability to read her like a book. "I've just never been this happy." She says honestly. He smiles, "Your happiness makes me happy." He whispers. She looks up at him and leans into kiss him. He pulls her into his lap so that she's straddling him as their kiss deepens. This had been happening a lot in the past week. She hates having to move away from him, but this is something they need to talk about, "We need to talk about something." She says. He immediately pulls away from her, "Too much?" He asks.
     She smiles at his concern before shaking her head, "No, but, you probably already know this, but-um-I'm a virgin." She tells him, "Yeah, I know." He says with a smile to encourage her to not hold anything back from him. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and bites her bottom lip, "Kate, you don't owe me anything just because we're in a relationship. And it's okay that you haven't had sex yet. Our intimacy will go at your pace." He tells her, "I know. I just sometimes hate being the last one in the group to do this." She huffs.
     He shakes his head, "Don't ever hate that. It proves how important that stuff is to you." He says. She nods as tears fill her eyes, "I always felt like a freak. It makes me feel unwanted at times." She admits, "Hey, I want you. And I'm not just saying that to make you feel better. The restraint I've had to place on myself during our make out sessions the past week have been difficult. But I will continue doing so until you're ready to take that next step." He promises her. She smiles.
     "You're amazing." She says before kissing him, "Am I allowed to ask one question?" He asks and she nods, "What's the farthest you have gone with someone?" He asks. "Second base." She answers and he nods, "One of my favorites." He comments and she chuckles, "Well, don't be too disappointed cause I'm not as big in that area as the other girls you've been with." She says, "You're perfect." He says before pressing a kiss to her neck. She looks down at him, "No, I'm not." She argues and he nods, "Absolutely perfect." He whispers before pressing his lips back to hers.
     "Can we just make out forever?" She asks. He chuckles and lays her down on the couch before climbing on top of her. They won't take it any further than this, but he loves having her pressed against him, underneath him. They pull back for a few seconds to catch their breaths and the way he looks at her gives her butterflies. "Promise me you'll always look at me like that." She says, "Always." He whispers before pressing his lips to hers and continuing their heated make out session.
