do it again.” I poke his hard chest.
    “Ah, you know you’ll forgive me if I do.” His hand slips around my waist with that crooked smile again.
    I stand on my tip-toes and tou sle the top of his hair.  “A little cocky aren’t we?”
    “Hey, hey, watch the hair.” He le ts go of my side to reach up and pat his hair back into place. “So you forgive me this time, right?”
    “Yeah, I forgive you.”  I say standing on the balls of my feet I quickly smack my lips against his. “Now, I have to get to class, I can’t get another tardy or Mr. Aiken w ill give me a detention.” I wave my fingers at him as I walk away.
     
    Hudson’s arms are around me before I can even shut my front door. “I couldn’t wait for school to be over today.” He moans as he kisses me. “I just wanted to get my arms around you.” He says between kisses. We make our way to the couch with our lips still attached. Kissing I like, kissing is comfortable. It’s everything else that scares me.
    As he lowers me on the couch his hand inches up my shirt. I normally let him at least that far, but today I am not feeling it with the recent pressures of everything I slide my hands up his chest he moans like this is a good thing and is surprised when I push him away shaking my head.
    He holds his hands up in the air. “What the heck, Miley? We been together for two years, I don’t know what your deal is.”
    “I am not ready, I’ve told you.” I sit up and slide away from him onto the other side of the couch.
    Hudson lets out a sigh as he lowers h is face into his hands, his elbows resting on his knees. “I know, but I just, I just need to show you how much I love you.”
    “Show me you love me by waiting for me.” I say pulling my arms across my stomach.
    “I have been doing that.” He turns his face towards me and gives me his puppy dog looking eyes that make my heart melt.  “When are you going to be ready? I mean you haven’t even hinted around.” Am I making him wait too long? I mean it has been two years. I love him and I just want to see him happy.
    I lean towards him and wrap my arms around his middle. “Prom night.” I whisper in his ear. He turns his face towards mine, our lips nearly touching.
    “What?” he says all huskily.
    “I’ll be ready prom night.” I speak now barely above a whisper.
    “Seriously?” A smile spreads across his face as he reaches his hand up to my cheek.
    “Yeah.” I breathe out, despite my mind screaming no. He gently presses his lips against mine with a smile behind the kiss.

    “D o you love him?” Nova asks as she leans forward close to the mirror and gently strokes the eyeliner pencil across her eyelid while making an ‘o’ shape with her mouth.
    I hesitate before responding with a quiet “yeah.” She turns her freshly marked eye towards me, looks me up and down then shrugs.
    “Well if you love him then I say go for it, but you know when I give you a hard time for not being a virgin, I’m only teasing.” She turns back to the mirror to add liner to her second eye.  I never knew Nova felt this way before. “You know, at least you’re in love, which is more than I can say for my first.” I remember that, we were freshman, invited to a senior party because of our cheerleader status.  The next thing I knew Jess and Nova both disappeared on me. I sat quietly in a chair against the wall alone. It was the first time Hudson spoke to me so the night wasn’t a total waste. Nova appeared out of a bedroom with a senior her hair was a disheveled mess and a grin spread across her face.  I remember he never spoke to her again after that night. It didn’t seem to bother her though because the next party there was another guy then another. “I respect you for waiting.”
    I love Hudson, but am I in love with him? I have to be right? We wouldn’t keep
