Part 3

***Kevin’s House***

Kevin let a large overjoyed grin fall on his face as he walked up his stairs and to his bedroom. He stripped off his clothing and slipped between the smooth, cool cotton sheets. For the first time in a long while, he drifted to a deep peaceful sleep.

His dreams took him to one of his favorite memories. It played in his dream like an old home movie. The first time he had kissed Stephanie, one of the most memorable and magical moment in his life.

***Kevin’s Dream***

"Alright, Train, truth or dare?" Aj smirked, picturing the perfect dare in his mind. From what Brian had told him, and what was obvious to everyone except Kevin and Stephanie, Steph liked Kevin and Kev liked Stephanie. So what better way to show them the light than a small game of truth or dare?

"Umm, dare, I guess." Kevin sighed, not really into the game. He was too busy staring at Stephanie as she continued to read ‘Interview with a Vampire.’ He had hoped Aj would get him a dare with her but he hadn’t been picked the entire game.

"Oh, goody. Hmm, let me think for a minute…" Aj snickered, glancing over at Stephanie, who was no longer paying attention to her book, she was staring at Kevin. "Alright, since you’re brave enough to take a dare from me, I’ll go easy on you. I dare you to go into the closet for ‘7 minutes of Heaven’ with, umm, Stephanie." He grinned brightly when her head snapped up from where she had been staring.

"W-what?" She stuttered, blushing light pink and looked over towards Kevin, who seemed to blush a bit as well. He met her brown eyes and nearly jumped inside himself. He liked the idea of being locked alone in a closet with her, but figured by her reaction she didn’t like him.

"Sweets, all you gotta do is go into that closet," Aj pointed to the closet across from her. "with Kev," he then pointed to Kevin, "for seven minutes and then ya get to come out. That’s not so bad, right?"

Stephanie shook her head shyly and looked at the ground. Kevin felt ditched and looked towards Aj for assistance.

"Well sorry babe, its Kevin’s dare. And he’s gotta do it, so come on."

He lightly pushed the two of them towards the open closet door. Kevin stepped in first, followed by Stephanie. Aj grinned slyly and shut the door, locking it behind them.

The pair stood silently in the dark for a moment, not altogether sure what to do. Stephanie tried to move a bit to give them more room in the cramped space but tripped over something, landing right into Kevin’s arms. Neither of them said a word, just moved closer together and kissed softly. The kiss was slow and soft, yet sensual. He wrapped his arms more tightly around her and she moved her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. Kevin slowly parted her lips with his tongue and intertwined it with hers.

They pulled away for air, both panting slightly. Their lips met again more passionately this time, Kevin started exploring her curves, letting his hand slide under her form fitting black sweater. She breathed in sharply and he pulled back quickly, until her hand stopped him.

"I’m sorry." He whispered, not sure what she would do.

"It’s okay, your hands were just cold and it startled me. Please don’t stop now." She whimpered back, brushing his lips with hers as she spoke. He nodded and kissed her again, letting his travel up her sweater again, her warm skin heating his hands.

The door suddenly burst open, the entire gang waiting outside to see the lovebirds. Both jerked away from each other, Kevin wiped the strawberry-flavored lip-gloss from his mouth. Stephanie blushed and Kev ducked his head as everyone applauded.

"Oh shut up." Both Kevin and Stephanie said in unison. Everyone laughed and went back to whatever they were doing. Before Aj could escape, Stephanie and Kev grabbed him.

"I hate to leave the party but I’m afraid I gotta be getting home. But it’s been a party I won’t soon forget." She smiled and kissed his cheek, then shoving him into the closet. Kevin shut the door and locked it. They gave each other a high five and Stephanie started for the door.

"Hey, do you need a ride home? I was getting ready to leave too." Kevin said, hopefully.

"Nah, I can walk from here. I live just up the beach. Besides, I wouldn’t want to give up the chance to walk along the beach on a night like this." She smiled, "But thanks for the offer." She walked out the large door, waving to everyone first. She stepped onto the porch and noticed Kevin right behind her.

"I thought I’d walk with you home, if that’s okay." He whispered, extending his arm for her. Nodding, she linked her arm with his and they headed for the beach. The night was picture perfect for a romantic walk, as the two walked hand in hand through the soft, cool sand. Stephanie stopped for a moment and pointed up to the large full moon.

"Isn’t it beautiful?" She smiled, feeling Kevin stare at her.

"Yeah, but it’s not as pretty as you are." He complemented softly in her ear. His smile widened as she blushed a deep pink and peeked up at him through her long eyelashes. She smiled up at him and brushed her mouth softly over his. The kiss was almost magic and the beginning of a very bumpy relationship.

***End of Dream***

Kevin woke to the beeping of constant beeping of his alarm clock. He glanced at the glowing red numbers and realized he had over slept by about two hours. He was already late if he was going to surprise her. ‘ I hope this works.
