broken hearts

sterling:" so what should we do now that we don't have to worry about anyone comming after you?"

Shannon: "Hm...good question." I said as I thought, drumming my fingers lightly on the table. "I guess I could get all the things in my apartment straightened up before my landlord freaks...any other thoughts?"

sterling:" maybe after we straightend up your apartment i can start living in there with you"

Shannon: I pondered that for a second, realizing that he wouldn't really be able to help the kids anymore like he used to, and they did know how to take care of themselves without him there. "That sounds good to me." I agreed with a slight smile. The waiter came back with our drinks, and took our orders before leaving again. "Anything else you think we should do?" I questioned.

sterling:" not sure shannon"

Shannon: "Me neither, Sterling...but there'll be another time for thinking about the future." I said before I took a sip of my soda.

sterling:" plenty of time for that"

Shannon: I nodded in agreement as I leaned back a bit, 'We have all the time in the world now, it seems.' I thought to myself.

sterling:" your beautiful shannon " i said to her as i look at her

Shannon: My neck and cheeks started to warm up just a little, but it was still odd. "You're the one who's beautiful, Sterling." I replied, using that as my thanks.

sterling:" not like your beauty"

Shannon: My face heated up even more, but I smiled through it. It was kind of...different getting such a compliment. I wasn't sure what to say, so I leaned over, and kissed the corner of his mouth instead.

Sterling: I smiled at her after she kiss me and as our food came to our table

Shannon: I was a little glad that he didn't seem to notice my now faint blush. At least, I thought so. I started to eat my sandwich. I glanced around for a second casually, noticing some kids playing outside the cafe. I smirked slightly before returning my attention back to Sterling.

Sterling: the whole time while I eat my food my eyes didn't leave her

Shannon: I arched an eyebrow at him with a small smirk, silently asking him why he was looking at me like that.

sterling:" sorry i love you so much and you are so beautiful that i can't look away "

Shannon: I blushed once again, wondering why on earth I was doing that so much. "Well...no reason to be sorry then." I said only half-jokingly.

sterling:" i love seeing you blushed too shannon"

Shannon: I resisted the urge to smile like I always did when I was embarrassed. I bit my lower lip lightly to help with that task. I took a breath as I looked at Sterling with a look that read somewhat humorly, 'You're not really helping that, y'know.'

sterling: i smiled at her before i lean across the table again i kiss her softly

Shannon: Now, I smiled against his lips before I pulled away. I figured I was done eating, so I rested my chin in the palms of my hands as I looked at Sterling, knowing I was still blushing slightly. I didn't mind that much anymore though.

sterling:" you ready to go shannon"

Shannon: "Mmhm." I answered lazily, standing up as I put my jacket back on. After the bill was paid for, I took Sterling's hand, and went outside the cafe. "Want to head over to my apartment?" 'Or wait 'til later?' I implied silently.

sterling:" to your apartment to clean it up before we can relax"
