Ø  Sunday 12:00 am

Shawna reaches forward and hits the volume button and turns off Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry.

“What did you do that for?” Vinn argues as he is looking from the road to Shawna, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

“I HATE that song and you know it, it’s played too many damn times.” Shawna said with an attitude as she crosses her arms in front of her chest.

Vinn takes his right hand off of the steering wheel and reaches for Shawna’s left arm. She tries to pull away from him but he is a lot stronger than she is. He pulls her arm easily away from her chest, slides his hand from her forearm to her hand, brings it up to his mouth and kisses it lightly. “Sé que cariño,” I know sweetie. Still holding her hand, he places his and her hand on the center console. “You know something, I’m really happy for Brenna and Tay.”

Shawna turns to Vinn and squeezes his hand before responding, “I’m happy for them too.”

“Then why do you seem upset, Baby?” Vinn’s tone of voice was sympathetic, when he spoke to Shawna. I just can’t seem to figure this girl out, especially when I have known and dated her for two years, he thought.

Shawna looks at him and sighs, “I am happy for them, but I am not so happy about what I did. I also can’t believe that I can’t remember anything either.” Shawna looks back at her man and sees a horrid expression across his face, and then she quickly snatches her hand away from his and buries her face in her hands. Vinn takes his right hand and places it in between her shoulder blades.

“Baby, it’s okay. This is something that we are going to have to do some research on. Nobody blames you for any of this.”

“I plan on looking into what happened and trying to solve this, but I still feel like I am to be blamed. If I were you I would kill me, because who knows if it won’t happen again.”

Vinn removes his hand from her shoulder blades and slams it on the steering wheel.

“What? What did I say?” Shawna asked as she was moving her body to the left so she could get a better look at his face.

“I am not going to kill you, and neither is anyone else. Plus if they do then they will have to kill me too because there is no way I can live without you,” Vinn’s face was turning red as he tried to speak in a calm voice.

They pulled up to the stop lights, that were only a block away from their house, and Shawna leans closer to Vinn, grabs his face, to where he was looking at her, and kisses him. She pulls away from the kiss, “I’m sorry. I also wouldn’t be able to survive without you in my life. I love you Babe.”

The light turns green, but they don’t notice and it is so late that no one is behind them honking their horn.

“I love you too Baby Boo.” He takes his right hand off of the steering wheel and places it under her chin and gently pulls her face closer to his and kisses her. I cannot believe that we have never said that to each other before, Vinn thought as he slid his tongue into her mouth as she did the same.

Shawna slowly stops the kiss, “We should be getting home, and I think the light has been green twice now.” Vinn and Shawna both chuckle as the car leaves the stop light. “You know, we have been dating for 2 years and we have NEVER said that to each other.”

“Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, but I am happy that I said it. Plus I said it for the first time to the girl that I wanna spend my life with.”

“Aw, you’re such a suck up,” Shawna says with a smile and a laugh. “But it’s okay. I agree with you on that one.”

Vinn and Shawna turn into the drive way of their house. Vinn turns off the head lights and then he turns the key to turn off the car engine. They get out of the car and walk the short distance to the front door. Vinn searches his pockets and realizes that he was in such a rush that he forgot to grab the house key. He looks at Shawna and gives her a confused look while he is still searching his pockets.
