Chapter 27

We were silent. "....And?" he asked simply.

"And.. I think we should break up." My mouth was ahead of me now and it took awhile for my brain to function what I was saying. Part of me was living in a fantasy, where Chris and I lived happily ever after. The other part of me was stuck in reality -- the part that broke up with Chris. "God, listen to me, I'm being so rude, did you hear how I put it?" I laughed aloud at myself to ease the tension. "Chris, it's nothing to do with you, because.." I paused trying to search for words. "Well, look around. Your-- I mean, your perfect. What girl in their right mind doesn't want you? Your sweet, caring, romantic, hot, funny... Your just perfect..." we were quiet again and I held my head low, ashamed. "Your just not perfect for me."

He got up from his chair and leaned in and whispered into my ear, saying "I don't love you either. I'd like to stay friends.. close friends." He pushed himself back and stared at me, smiling. I leaned in and kissed him, not sure if it would be the last time or not. I felt him smile as we kissed. Something about it was sweeter than any of our other kisses.

I pulled away and walked to my purse, pulling out my keychain and unhinging his key from mine. He dug into his pockets and did the same, the whole way grinning, as if he were proud of me. We handed our keys back to each other. I walked towards the door and said shyly, as if it were our first date again, "Thank you for dinner,"

I opened the door and he began to walk out in his Suel Forresster waslk, but not before turning around and saying something that sounded like 'You fell in cum'.

I laughed, "What?"

"Your welcome." he said slowy, then proceeded with walking to his car. I closed my door. I waited a second though, hearing the sounds of Chris' car pull out of the driveway. Then, I ran up to my room, picked up the phone, dialed Fawn, Flor', and Audj's numbers for an urgent meeting.
