Previously....

"Oh.. Hot-head...." I said tears shinning in my eyes "Oh Raphael...." I whispered awe-struck, as I saw the scene in front of me, I spun around at all that was in front of me "you didn't...."

I felt him come up from behind me and hug me "oh yes I did Tessa"

"why?" I whispered again, putting a hand to my mouth, still in shock.

"Because Tessa...." he said, as I felt his hot breath against my ear.... "Because your worth it Chica.... And because....
********************************************

I felt my breath catch in my chest. "I love you Tessa..." he whispered in my ear. I spun around to look him in the eyes.

His eyes shone, in the light, he pushed away a stray strand of hair. before he ran his thumb across my bottom lip. he only did it for a moment before he dropped his hand.

I gulped and licked my lips then smiled a weak smile  "I love you too Raphael" I choked out, over-come with emotion.

he groaned "you don't know how sexy you sound saying my name..." he again whispered out into my ear as he moved in front of me.

I flushed furiously, hiding my face in the crook of his neck as I hugged him.

he pushed me away slightly, looking in my eyes "does this mean I'm forgiven?" he asked sounding hopeful. he slung his arm around me, waiting for my answer.

I looked around at the scene in front of me. There were lights shining around the small table set in the middle roof. the stars twinkling above us and two candles were lit in the middle of the table.

I leaned into his warm body. I laid my head on his shoulder before smirking "close.... very close.... but.... not just yet" I said in a teasing tone before walking out of his grasp to sit down.

As I walked away I heard him chuckle and mutter "oh Chica... your gonna be the death of me..." I sat down in my seat.

Raph pulled something out of his pocket before he sat down. "I-uh I got this for you...." he stuttered out.

I smiled at his nervousness and took the wrapped up present from his hands. "can I open it?" I asked

"go head"

I looked back down and slowly opened it up only to find a graffitied picture of the night sky with the words 'your the stars, in my night sky'.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I smiled at him "darn it Hot-head..." I choked out

he frowned and looked at me "do-do you not like it?" he asked quietly

"no-I love it Raph...." I said grabbing his hand, he looked up at me "I just didn't know that you were such a hidden romantic....." I saw relief fill his eyes and he laughed

"I'm not romantic, I just didn't know how to tell you how I felt so I tried to show you... and this was the only way I thought I could... that I could show you that I am completely in love with you..." he said never breaking eye contact.

I looked down as I felt a tear roll down my face... then another.... and another...

"Tess?!" he asked franticly, getting up from his seat coming to kneel at my feet "Chica.... Chica look at me....!"
