New York City was even more than I thought it would be. I met people, saw places, and had the time of my life. I was more than happy to go back home and rest. I was so happy about how everything was going on right now, it was like a second life. .......... But I knew more than anybody when life was going good it meant something horrible was coming. I had to enjoy this life before something happens that ends my joy. Thanksgiving was coming up soon and I wanted to make a nice dinner for Alec and I. We were like best friends now... but I was starting to like him. I knew I had to shove those feelings aside. Thanksgiving 1945 I had made a perfect thanksgiving feast, I could tell Alec was happy. "It's so funny how my sixteenth birthday landed on Thanksgiving." I laugh and nod my head. "Speaking of which... I got you something!" I beam "I told you not to get me anything Becca." He sighs. I roll my eyes. "I know you have been slowly paying this guy for something... since we got here. I Immediately see Alec's eyes light up. Go look outside, I'm afraid you won't be getting a huge Christmas present this year. Alec runs out to the driveway and gasps. "You got me a car!" He gushes. "The car I wanted.. your the best." He walks over to me and picks up my small figure and sets me down in the car. "I got my license yesterday." "We are going for a ride babe." He says with a flirtatious wink. I laugh, maybe he knows I like him like that... I'm just happy the way things are right now if he doesn't like me. We ride down the roads laughing.

I light a cigarette for him and look at him. Wind flowing in the wind, I don't think he's ever looked more handsome. Alec's POV She got me the car of my dreams, she's perfect. I look at her as she lights my smoke. Her beautiful hair flowing in the wind, her cute gloves on her hands so close to my hands. I like her, god dammit I like her... but I can't be in a relationship I'm I don't do love. But she's just so perfect.. one kiss won't hurt right? .................. Becca's POV We drive for a bit longer before we pull into drive in movie. We watched the movie for a little bit.. but couldn't seem to keep our eyes off each other. I kept blushing when he caught me looking. His hand found his way to mine, and he squeezed my small hand.

He put his arm around my shoulders and brought me close to him. "Best Birthday ever." He whispers into my ear, sending shivers down my spine. He puts his hand on my face to turn my face towards his. "You look beautiful tonight." He whispers as he looks at my soft lips, smirking. I smile, and bit my lip. He looks into my eyes and see's that I like him as much as he likes me. I put my arms around his neck as he puts his big, muscular, arms around me. Then we drive in for the kiss. My first kiss. It's passionate and sweet, just like I imagined it would be. We pull away and smile awkwardly. .................. "Becca.. do you like me as much as I like you?" He looks into my eyes, speaking softy. "Yes, even more." I smile, as we lock eyes. Then we pull in for another kiss, even better than the first. After that goes on for a bit the movies over. We smile at each other as he drives home. .................. We get home and it's quite late... we say nothing more than a simple night', before going into our bedrooms to sleep for the night. I find that I can not sleep, I can only think of the passionate kisses we shared earlier. I quietly sneak into the hallway and look at his slightly open door. I sigh as I open his door. I find he is right in front of his door. "Hey... couldn't sleep either?" He asks, and blushes for the first time ever. "Yeah." I stuttered, blushing as well. .................. "Becca.." He spoke awkwardly. "Yes?" I spoke. "Do you want to be my... girlfriend?" He asks, blushing as red as a fire truck. "Of course Alec." I speak as I pull him into a tight hug. He hugs me back after a few seconds. "I can't promise you I'm not going to hurt you... but I won't mean it." He whispered into my ear. "I know.. I can't promise I won't hurt you either.. but I won't mean it." I whisper back into his ear. "Why don't we go watch some television." Alec suggests. I nod. We pull out of the hug and walk to the TV set in the tiny living room hand in hand. We sit down and I lay against his chest. Soon falling asleep. The perfect night. I was really liking my new life... my second life.
