seeing all of the building lit up against the dark sky.
    Once they reached his apartment, the first
thing she did was take off her shoes. She wasn’t used to wearing
high heels and she felt like her feet were going to explode. She
sat on Tom’s couch as she started to take off all of her jewelry
and put them back into the small boxes she had left on his coffee
table.
    She looked over at Tom and watched as he
took off his tie and coat, feeling a little giddy about how great
the night had gone. She had been so nervous about meeting his
parents, but there really wasn’t anything to be scared of, his
parents were great, and she spent the whole night with his mother,
talking as if they were old girl friends.
    Abby sighed, “I wish we could start this
night back over, I had so much fun, I didn’t want it to end” she
said.
    Tom smiled, “I’m really happy you had such a
good time, and I know my parents really liked you, or they would
have ignored you all night.”
    Abby stood up and walked over to Tom and put
her arms around his neck and stood on her tip toes to look into his
eyes.
    “I really liked them too, and I hope we can
have dinner with them or something again soon” she told him.
    Tom didn’t say anything, he just stared into
her eyes, for what felt like an eternity, and she could tell that
he had something on his mind.
    “Tom, what’s the matter?” she asked him,
concerned that he thought it was a bad idea for her to see his
parents again.
    He leaned down and put his arms around her
waist and lifted her in the air.
    “I just realized something” he said.
    She put one of her hands on his cheek, since
he had hold of her and she knew he wouldn’t drop her.
    “What is it?” she asked.
    “I’m in love with you, more than words could
ever describe” he said in practically a whisper.
    Abby’s heart started pounding as she looked
into his eyes and saw how sincere his words were. She thought for a
moment, someone loves me, and her heart fluttered.
    “I love you too Thomas Murphy, Junior” She
said never taking her eyes off of his.
    He smiled and lifted her higher into the air
and gave her a quick twirl, and then he lowered her back down to
his eye level and she grabbed his head and kissed him with all of
the passion she knew she was hiding inside of her. He walked
forward and lowered her onto his bed, never separating their lips
and it was at that moment, she knew she was ready.

    She gave him a small push with her hand and
he stood back up, expecting her to tell him to slow down, but
instead she stood up next to him and turned her back toward
him.
    “Can you please unzip my dress for me?” she
asked him.
    She couldn’t see his face, but given the
silence, she guessed he was surprised.
    “Are you sure?” he asked slowly, almost as
though he was scared she would change her mind.
    She nodded and felt his hand slide up her
back until it had reached the zipper, and then he slowly unzipped
it. Once the zipper was all the way down, she turned back around
and smiled at him. He reached up and pulled the straps down until
the dress fell onto the floor in a black heap.
    She stood in front of him in only black
panties, and a black lace strapless bra. She had never been even
this naked in front of anyone before, much less a man, and her
stomach flipped with her nervousness. He pulled her forward and
started to kiss her again, rubbing his hands up and down her naked
back.
    He pulled his head away from hers and
started to kiss down her neck, sending tingles all the way down her
spine. She felt his hand stop on her bra strap, then she felt it
release, and it would have completely fallen off of her body, had
she not been pressed up against him.
    She quickly held up her bra with her hand,
scared to let him see her completely naked. He pulled away from
her, and seeing her apprehensive look, started to unbutton his
shirt, pulling it away from his body in lightning speed. He knew
she was scared, since she had
