>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Picture on the side is the power couple JFK and Marilyn Monroe

The homecoming dance turned out to be just what I thought it would. Jerod standing there looking amazing and me not able to do anything about it. Of course, when he saw me in my homecoming dress, I felt like I was getting a little bit of revenge, judging by the hungry look in his eyes. The whole night ended up being a bunch of teasing and "accidentally" brushing up against each other. By the end of the dance, we were both ready to jump on each other.

I woke up on Saturday morning/afternoon more excited than I could have imagined. I couldn't wait for the party. I texted Addley. 'I told my parents I'm staying at your house tonight.' I needed to keep her in the loop.

She texted back. 'Ok. Have fun with Jerod ;)' I smiled.

'You're amazing Addley. Love you' I felt bad that I was keeping such a big secret from my best friend, but I couldn't risk our relationship getting found out by the wrong person.

My phone buzzed, pulling me from my thoughts. 'I am amazing! :) Love you more.' I smiled and put my phone away. I looked at the clock. It was already noon. I really needed to stop sleeping so late on Saturdays. I was going to Scott and Carissa's at 5 so my parents would think I was at Addley's and so Carissa could help me get ready for the party. I needed to be careful. Getting caught in a web of lies was not something that I needed and it would only make the situation more complicated.

I showered and put my robe on. I needed to pack my stuff for tonight and tomorrow. I bit my lip, suddenly nervous. I knew what spending the night at Jerod's meant would probably happen. I was sure that I was ready to sleep with Jerod and I had been on the pill for a while, but I couldn't help the jittery feelings that erupted throughout my stomach. I put my costume dress, my shoes, and my curling iron in my bag. I also packed pajamas and my toothbrush and a spare outfit for the next day. I put on my cutest underwear and put on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. After blow drying my hair and getting something to eat, it was time for me to leave. I went into the living room where my mom and dad were playing Scrabble.

"Hey, I'm leaving. I'll see you guy tomorrow sometime." My parents looked up at me.

"Bye honey. We'll see you later. Have fun at Addley's tonight." My mom said, smiling at me.

My dad got a stern, fatherly look on his face. "You two behave. I don't want any trouble out of you guys tonight." I laughed and hugged them both.

"Bye guys. I love you!" I waved to my parents and left. When I got to Carissa's apartment, Scott told me she was waiting in the bathroom. I laughed when I got into their bathroom. Carissa had every kind of hair product known to man spread out all over the counter. "Well, I brought my curling iron, but I can see I won't need it."

She grabbed my hand and sat me down on the toilet. "No, I've got it all covered. Now, we're curling you up like Marilyn Monroe right?" I nodded. "Then let's get to work." I spent the next hour and a half sitting in the bathroom while my sister curled, sprayed, and did just about everything else imaginable to my hair. After I was sure that my hair was completely fried, Carissa announced that it was done. I looked in the mirror and the smile instantly spread across my face.

"Carissa, you need to quit your day job and start working at a salon!" The curls were absolutely perfect. I think we would have done Marilyn Monroe proud if she had seen my hair.

My sister laughed. "Well thank you. You look absolutely amazing. Now we need to do makeup." It took another half hour for Carissa to get my make up the way she wanted it. She helped me put my dress on and tied it for me. "Are you staying here tonight?" Carissa asked, hooking my necklace for me.

"No. Mom and Dad think I'm staying at Addley's. I'm staying at Jerod's tonight." Carissa spun me around and looked at me.

"Lily, do you know what you're getting yourself in to by staying at his apartment?" She grabbed my bracelets for me.

"I know what I'm doing Carissa. Whatever choice we end up making tonight, I think I'm ready for it. I think I'm falling in love with Jerod." She gasped and smiled.

"Well, it sounds like your mind is made up. But if you guys end up sleeping together, I want you to be smart about it. If you need anything or if you need anyone to talk to about anything, you come to me alright?" She hugged me.

"Alright Carissa. I love you." My sister hugged me a little tighter.

"I love you too Lily. Now let's finish getting you ready." I put my shoes on and touched up my makeup one last time. I looked mirror and loved what I saw. I was very happy with the way that my costume turned out. You could definitely tell that I was supposed to be Marilyn Monroe. "You look gorgeous Lily. I bet Jerod didn't spend that much time getting ready." We both laughed and I heard voices coming from out in the kitchen. "Sounds like Jerod is here."

I felt the butterflies erupt in my stomach as we walked out to the kitchen. I stopped when I saw Jerod standing there. My mouth fell open and a smile spread across my face. He looked amazing standing there in his suit and tie. I couldn't believe he had chosen that cotume. Jerod had the same look on his face. "Lily, you look beautiful. I can't believe you chose Marilyn Monroe." I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him. "Do you know who I'm supposed to be?"

I smiled. "JFK." We were going as two people involved in one of the most famous love affairs of all time, and we hadn't even planned it. "This is so weird. It's amazing though. We seriously couldn't have planned this any better." Carissa took some pictures of us and Jerod led me out to his car.

While we were in the car, Jerod grabbed my hand again. "You really do look beautiful and I seriously can't believe that you chose Marilyn Monroe and I chose John F. Kennedy." He kissed my hand.

I laughed. "Great minds think alike. And I must also say that you look amazing as well. Very hot." He laughed and pulled up outside of the same house that the first party had been at. I looked at him. "We meat at a party at this house."

"I know. I can't tell you how happy I am that I came to that party that night." He got out of the car and came around my side to help me out. When I got out, Jerod pulled me into his arms and kissed me. He kissed me until I couldn't breath. When he pulled away, he looked into my eyes and smiled. "Let's go." He whispered.

The whole time we were at the party, we hugged and kissed and danced like every other couple there. We didn't have to hide the fact that we were together and no one looked at us any differently than any other couple. I loved it when Jerod introduced me to his friends as his girlfriend. At about midnight, Jerod put his lips next to my ear. "Do you want to leave?" He whispered. I nodded.

When we pulled up to his apartment, he grabbed my hand and lead us in. I looked around and smiled. It was so-Jerod. His apartment was like a clean bachelor pad. He had video games and a giant TV along one wall. There was also a big movie case with every DVD imaginable. There were no pictures or any kind of decorations hanging on the walls, but his apartment just felt-right. Jerod did have a small end table set up that had several family pictures on it. I was looking at a picture of Jerod and Scott in college when Jerod came up behind me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed the back of my neck. "I love having you here." He whispered in my ear.

I turned around to face him. "I love being in your apartment." He kissed me. Softly at first, but with more intensity. He eventually pulled away and looked into my eyes.

"I love you Lily." He brushed a stray curl out of my hair and kissed my forehead. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his middle.

"I love you too Jerod." I rested my forehead against his and smiled. I loved him so much. Jerod lifted my chin so I was looking up at him. He kissed me feverishly and backed me up into the table. I sunk my hands into his hair and ran my fingers through the soft strands. Jerod grabbed my legs and pulled up so I wrapped my legs around his waist. He pulled his mouth off mine and placed small kisses on the side of my neck. He lightly bit my shoulder, causing me to gasp. Jerod walked blindly back to his bedroom and laid me down on his bed. "I love you." He whispered, before his lips met mine again.
