Life Is Good, I Can't Complain (c)

[Specs]

((LOL I love how this happened in both of our threads))

"I just want you to know," he said, feeling himself relax a bit as she moved farther from him. "That I have horrible self control. And if you don't want to go farther than we should until we're married, this is your warning already."

[Tag Along]

((We're just that awesome.))

Lillian began pacing the floor, her fingers tapping her chin as she pondered the situation.

"Okay, we have two options. One, we wait in agony until we get married - which I guess we are for certain now. This will surely cause our wedding to occur in the very near future as I don't think either of us are very patient. Or two, we keep going now and get married within the next few days so it is somewhat justified. Either way, we're going to be getting married before the next week is up. So the question is... Do we satisfy our, shall I say urge, now or later?"

She stopped walking and looked directly at him, her eyebrows raised as she waited for an answer.

Ryan's eyes widened. He wasn't ready to think this hard after what they were just doing. Sighing, he ran his fingers through his hair and tried his best to analyze the situation. He couldn't possibly see himself getting married in days. They were finally getting along and he'd hate it if they rush things only to see that they'd wanted to shack up for fun.

"What do you want?" he finally asked a couple of moments later.

[Tag Along]

"...I want to know how we even got here." She flopped down on the chaise lounge next to him, sulking.

"One day, I hate you. The next day, we're told we're supposed to be engaged. Day after that, we're desperately trying to keep our hands off each other. What is the world coming to?!"

[Specs]

"Maybe it means we're really meant for each other."

He didn't realize how cheesy it sounded after he heard himself saying it but he felt it was true. Why else would he be here with her?

[Tag Along]

"You believe in that kind of stuff?" She asked quietly, looking up at him hopefully.

((Blahh hate to cut this short, but I only have a few chapters of HP4 left and I have GOT to finish it. Been reading it for way too long! Night!))

[Specs]

((No worries! Have fun reading! Gnight!))

Ryan shrugged. "I don't know... maybe? I never really thought about it before. Do you?"

[Tag Along]

Lillian averted her eyes, blushing.

"...Yes." She answered in a shy, quiet voice.

[Specs]

"You do?" he said, a bit surprised. "Do you think about... me?"

[Tag Along]

"I'm not telling!" She cried, blushing even more. Of course she had thought about the past couple days, and now that he'd said it, she was almost positive he was right.

[Specs]

Instead of teasing her like he usually did, Ryan reached over to gently hold her hand as he brought it up to his lips for a kiss. "You're beautiful when you blush," he said quietly.

[Tag Along]

Lillian scooched closer to him, putting her head on his shoulder. Mostly because she had a sudden urge to cuddle him, but also because she wanted to hide her ever deepening blush.

[Specs]

He let out a content sigh as he put his arm around her, relishing the time they have together. He would've loved to stay here (where here is) the whole night when he suddenly remembered they were supposed to be at dinner.

"You think they miss us?" he asked curiously.

[Tag Along]

Lillian just shrugged before burying her face into his neck. She kissed him softly there, trying to decide whether or not they should go back.

[Specs]

"It's up to you," he said after a couple moments, gently rubbing her arm. He didn't mind hiding. It would've been too difficult to stay 'behaved' among their families.
