I don't own Transformers, only my OC's.

Chapter 20

It was… weird this being in love thing. Delightful, but strange. It sent butterfly's off in my stomach and made my heart feel aflutter.

How had I never realized it before? I had seen so many movies, read countless stories where it was a key subject and yet, when it came right down to it, I hadn't been able to see it right in front of my own face.

It was sort of amazing.

Ron seemed to feel the same way… at least I hoped. He had nearly kissed me of his own accord before I had run away. That had to mean something, right?

I half wondered what my parents would have thought. He was older than me, but… who were they to judge? They'd had me at sixteen. I'd had countless sex talks from them because of it. As much as my parents had adored me, they wish they had waited. Not that I had any desire to jump in anyone's bed right now.

Geez! Where the heck was my mind going! One too many years spent with Jessy and her gutter brain. I'd only just realized I was in love with Ron. Working this out between the two of us came WAY before anything else.

But how did one broach the topic of a relationship without sounding like an idiot. No wonder boys were afraid to ask girls out. This was tough! What if I was wrong and he didn't actually like me in that way? It would be quite a blow to my self-esteem.

Looking myself in the mirror I tried to work up the courage to ask.

I had been sitting in the bathroom for at least tqwenty minutes mulling it all over. I wasn't exactly sure of what to do. Should I ask? Should I wait and let him do it? How would my uncle and aunt react when they found out? It had been my uncle after all who had introduced me to Ron… sort of. Regardless, Ron and my uncle worked and fought together, so it could make things awkward.

Sighing I did the one thing I had to do – get out of the bathroom. I anxiously headed to my room. I wasn't sure what to expect, but Ron's absence wasn't quite it. In reality I knew this would happen, but in the fantasy of my mind work I had illusioned him awaiting my return.

I had bolted as he tried to kiss me. I wouldn't have stuck around either if I had been in his place.

Shoot, I thought dimly, I hope I didn't crush him too badly.

Glancing out the window I found both the truck and my aunt's car in the driveway. Ron was out there talking to my uncle, who seemed apprehensive for one reason or another. Had something come up at work?

I would find out later. For now, at least I knew where Ron had gone off to. I really had to talk to him... or in the very least try.

The stairs were a foreboding thing. With my ribs as they were I would feel every step. Taking a deep breath I gripped the railing a descended slowly. I had a goal, I needed to achieve it. It couldn't really be that hard to grab Ron could it? He was usually alone with me anyway, it wouldn't come off as strange, right?

What would I say? Ron, can I have a word? No, that sounded like I was up to something, especially considering what had happened not long ago.

Can I show you something? That'd be a lie, sort of, but really it sounded too… suggestive I suppose.

How could I possibly grab him without making him and my relatives curious?

I'll just have to wing it, I eventually decided. I just had to think positive.

I can do this, I told myself as I neared the bottom of the stairs. I can. I know I can.
