As we kissed, Leon's shirt seemed to travel off of his body. He threw it onto the couch, his hands regaining their place on my hips. I slid my palms onto his muscular chest, feeling the curves and warm skin that I yearned to touch.

"You hungry?" he asked as our lips parted.

"Yeah, a little bit."

"I'll go make us some soup, hmm?"

"Sounds great."

He turned to walk to the kitchen area and I grabbed his belt loop and tugged along with him.

"Choo-choo!" he joked.

I laughed. "I love you."

"I love you too." He turned around suddenly to face me. "Move in."

"What?"

"Move in…with me? Ditch Chris! I bet you that Jill and he are going to move in together anyway, and I can-,"

"Yes."

"support you with my earnings from… Really? Great! When do you want to?"

"Tomorrow."

"Wow, great!"

"I can't believe it!"

"Either can I!"

We laughed. "We're a couple, then, now?"

"Yeah, I guess so, Claire."

"I liked your hair better when it was brown."

"Me too. But I only dyed it because you wanted me to."

"We'll redo it tomorrow. Our first day living together?"

"Yeah…" His face bowed into mine. We kissed once more.

"Just an hour ago…we were friends…now we're lovers?"

"Yeah. But, I had always loved you."

"I as well."

"You what?" Chris screamed.

"I'm moving in with Leon."

"Chris, don't get so mad," Jill calmed. She was sitting on the couch, her legs dangling off.

"That's impossible! You can't move in with a man! He's my age, Claire! You're still a girl!"

"I'm nineteen, Chris! I can do what I please! He is only four years above me, and we're in love! There's nothing you can do about it!"

Chris crossed his arms and sighed.

"Well, good riddance because Jill's moving in."

I looked to Jill. She was just as surprised as I was.

"Yeah!" Chris said, "you heard me!"

I ran to my room and pulled the suitcase from under my bed, opened it, and began to shove my belongings into it.

"Damn Chris…I'm not a child…"

I slid all of the things off my make-up table into my suitcase. After locking it, I left my room.

"Bye, Jill," I stated, not bothering with Chris.

After leaving the apartment, I saw Leon outside. "How did he take it?"

"Not well."

"Yeah, I heard through the door."

"Well then…"

Leon pulled out a box from his pocket.

"Hair dye," he stated, shaking the box.

"Look at that guy, he's pretty hot. Not as much as you, though."

He laughed. After taking my suitcase, he put his free hand in mine and we walked down the hallway.

"Have you ever been in love before this?" I asked.

"No. I've had flings, but not love like this."

"Me too. I thought I had it when I met this man named Steve, but I knew I loved you all along."

After leaving, we got into his little blue Jeep.

He began to drive and I turned up the radio.

I began to sing aloud to, 'Buttercup.' Leon pitched in loudly. He wasn't the best singer; well, no policemen were.

They pulled up to the apartment, Leon stopped the car, and they looked to each other.

"So…"

"So…"

"This is the start to our new lives together."

"Yeah, I guess it is."

"You know, when I said 'I love you' in high school, it really didn't mean anything. Now… when I say it, it's special. It actually means something."

"'I love you' is more than words. It is actions, too. Actions that I will always show. So even if I stop saying them, I will always love you."

They ended their conversation with a kiss.

{Man, I don't really want to write anymore right now, I feel like I'd drag the story into the ground. Maybe if you guys had some ideas then I might be able to help. Anyhoo, I might not write for a few months on RE, I am writing my novel: I am a third through. It's named 'Jamie's Story' for my sister. Anyway, you might want to check it out. I also write on Harry Potter and I plan on FFX. Did you know that they're making an FFX-2? Crazy, huh? Man, does Yuna look like a whore or what? Jesus. Haha! Anyway, I love all of you that reviewed my stories. I hope to keep you as steadfast fans. I love you! Bye!}
