"Just a bit," he said, as thunder boomed throughout the room. I guess he heard me gasp, because he asked me if I wanted to join him in his bed.
"Yeah, sure, I guess," I said, grabbing my pillows and joining him. "Thanks hun."
"Yep. I never knew you were afraid of thunder," he said, turning to face me.
"Well, I was locked out of my house once, during a really bad thunderstorm, and ever since then I've been terrified of thunderstorms," I explained, slightly afraid he was gonna laugh at me.
He sat up on his elbow, and gave me a confused look. "How did you get locked out?" he asked.
"I had forgotten my keys, and no one was home," I said.
"Well, you don't have to worry about that here," he said, wrapping his arms around me, I guess to make me feel safe.
"Thanks," I said, softly. I looked at him, seeing the moon that shined in the window, also shining on his face.
"Meg...umm, can I kiss you?" he asked, sweetly.
