I walk home with Gwen, a tight grip on her. I can't stop thinking about Mark. He just, no. I am just over protective. Besides, if Gwen thought that Mark was into her, she would've backed off. I trust Gwen. I trust her. She unlocks the door into the apartment. We both walk in. She stares at me, and folds her arms. I stare into her eyes. But suddenly, she pushes her lips against mine into a kiss.

She breaks away, and leans into me, her hands on my chest. I put my arms around her, and hear her sniffle softly. I look down at her. Tears drift softly down her cheeks. She notices I see her, and leans into my shoulder.

"I know what you were thinking." She says, wiping the tears from her eyes. "You really think I'd leave you?" My heart sinks at her saddened face, the tears streaming down her cheeks. I put my hand to her cheek. "No, No, baby it's ok." I whisper. "It wasn't you. Just him. I just wanted to make him aware that you're mine. And always will be." I kiss her head. Her hair smells of coconut. We stand there, holding each other, for each other's comfort. Eventually, she reluctantly lifts her head and gazes into my eyes.

"Kiss me."

"What?"

"Peter Parker, just kiss me."
