Peyton's point of view: Passion. Intense, burning passion is what I felt towards Kate and I wanted her to know that. I went to Garrett before Kate and I left and said,"Kate and I are going back to the house to be alone." Garrett looked at me and said,"Are you planning on doing it with her?" I hesitate and then nod and say,"Yeah, I am, but I don't want us to rush." Garrett nodded and said,"Alright man, best of luck to you." I nodded and left Garrett and went back to Kate and said,"You ready to go?" She smiled that angelic smile and said,"Yes, but can we get something to eat first?" I smiled at her and said,"Anything you want baby." She blushed a bit and I took her hand and Garrett came up behind us and said,"Do you mind taking the equipment home? I'll help you load it." I shook my head and said,"No I don't mind," then I looked at Kate and said,"Do you think you can carry a guitar or two to help us out?" She nodded and said,"Sure." After Garrett and I got a few more people rallied up to help load the equipment back up, Kate and I left the fairgrounds and headed back into town. I looked over at Kate who was messing with the radio and I said,"Where do you want to go eat at? It's your choice." She thought for a minute with her cute "thinking face" and said, very matter-of-factly,"I want to go eat at Old Mexico." I smiled and said,"Alright, Old Mexico it is." When we got there, there was barely anyone in there because everyone was at the fairgrounds partying so we got seated fairly quickly and then we ordered what we always get when we came here, and when our food came out, we started eating and talking like nothing had changed between us. I kept looking at Kate while she was talking excitedly about being a senior next year and then going to college and all I could think about was wanting to come back here for my senior year and be with her and go to college with her. After we finished eating I put a tip on the table and got up and went to her chair and helped her out like a gentleman would, and then we walked to the register hand-in-hand and I paid them for our meal, and then before we walked outside we both saw that it had started raining, so I took my rainjacket off and helped her put it on and we walked back to my car and I opened the door for her and waited until I was sure she was in and then closed the door. I then got in on the drivers side and turned the car on and pulled out of the parking lot and started the 20 minute drive home. The whole way home Kate and I talked and it was just incredible. I asked her how flubber was and she laughed and said that he was doing fine and that he was extremely hyper and I smiled and winked at her and jokingly said,"He takes after his daddy." That made her laugh more, and she finally said,"Yes he does, and he can be a bit of a trouble maker." I smiled and said,"He's a puppy of course he's gonna be a trouble maker." She laughed and then there was a moment of silence, but not the awkward kind. It was the comfortable kind of silence that two people, who are madly in love with each other, have where all you want is just to enjoy the quietness with them. I looked down and saw Kate's hand resting on the top of the gear shift, and I easily switched the hands I was driving with and gently grabbed her hand and held it tightly, but not too tight because I didn't want to hurt her, and I felt her hand squeeze mine back, and it made me feel like this is exactly where I'm supposed to be, and I knew right then that when I got home to Georgia, I would talk with my parents and see if we could move back to Mississippi.
Peyton's point of view: We finally got back to my house and I pulled up as close to the house as I could and turned my car off and got out and opened her door for her and walked her to the door of my house and I unlocked it and let her go in first and said,"I'm gonna go ahead and unload all this stuff. Is that okay with you?" She smiled and nodded and said,"Thats fine Peyton." I smiled and ran back into the rain and started unloading, starting with the guitars first and then the amps. After 20 minutes of unloading and wiping everything down and putting it back up where it was supposed to go, I was completely soaked from head to toe. I walked into the living room and Kate had turned on the tv and was sitting down and she turned when she heard me walk in and she looked me up and down and said,"You look like a wet dog. Are you gonna go change?" I smiled and said,"Yeah I'm gonna go change. I'll be right back." She nodded and said,"Alright." I went upstairs and changed into my Neshoba Central baseball shirt and shorts and came back downstairs and got on the couch with her and said,"So what are we watching?" She looked up at me and smiled and said,"We are watching The Last Song." I sighed and said,"Alright. Whatever you want to watch is fine with me as long as I'm with you." She blushed and cuddled up to me and I put my arm around her and held her close to me while we watched the movie.
Kate's point of view: Being cuddled up to Peyton made me realize how much I missed him and how much I love him. He was my rock. My best friend. My love. My whole world. My everything. Even though he had said some very hurtful things to me last time, I still loved him without a shadow of a doubt. I looked up at him when the movie ended and he looked about halfway asleep. I poked him gently and his shifted down to me and he smiled his sleepy smile at me, which is one of his sexiest smiles ever, and he said, in a sleepy voice,"I think I dozed off a bit." I smiled at him and sat up and wrapped my arms around his neck and said,"I think you did too, but I don't mind. I'm just glad we got to be together again." He smiled and kissed my forehead and said,"Well, it's only 9:30. What do you want to do?" I thought about it for a minute and I knew I really wanted to be with and sleep with him, but I would only sleep with him if we were a couple again, so I said,"Peyton, is there any part of you that wants us back together again?" He looked at me and softly kissed my nose and put his forehead against mine and looked into my eyes with his gorgeous blue eyes and said,"Every part of me wants us back together again. I know I can't take back what I said to you, but I can prove to you over and over again why we should be together again, and I can swear to you that I'm going to make this work no matter what the cost. I just want you with me again and I want to live here again." I smiled at him and said,"I want us together again too Peyton. I want people to be jealous of our relationship and how much we love each other. Why don't you move back to Mississippi?" He looked at me for a minute and put his hands on my face and said,"I'll have to beg my parents to get us to move back here, or I could ask them if I could live here with my dad. How about we get back together right here right now and it can be like we never broke up?" I smiled at him and I leaned in to him and he did the same and closed the gap between us and kissed me like he did on our very first date with such incredible passion and earnest, yet still very gentle and welcoming. When we pulled away, he looked at me expectantly, and with my cheeks a little flushed from our kiss, I smiled at him and said,"Of course I'll be with you again Peyton. I wouldn't want it any other way."
Peyton's point of view: She said yes. She said yes! Holy ****ing shit she said yes!! Hell yeah!! I wrapped my arms tightly around Kate, but not too tightly so that I didn't hurt her, and I put my head on the top of her head and kissed the top of her head, and while my lips were still on the top of her head I said,"I promise you Kate you will not regret this I love you so much baby, and when I get home I'm going to talk to my parents about moving back here so I can spend all my time with you." I felt her head move up and I pulled up a little bit and looked down right into her gorgeous brown eyes and she leaned up a bit and kissed me and said,"I love you too Peyton, and I know I won't regret this because I know we can do anything together." I smiled at her and then I got myself serious because I knew I wanted to be with her in every possible way, including us doing it for the first time. I looked in her eyes and nervously tried to get out the words,"Kate, um...do you think it would be um....possible if we....ya know.....um....did it tonight?" Now I know, just like she knew, that that was not my smoothest attempt at talking to her or any girl for that matter and I swore at myself for even asking that, but she just smiled and said,"Do you mean you want us to make love tonight?" I looked at her kinda embarrassed and a little amazed that she understood me through my stuttering and I nodded sheepishly and said,"Yes I do....but only if you want to too. I don't want to push you into something you aren't ready for." She smiled and laughed softly, and I swear that her laugh is the most musical thing I have ever heard because it always gives me goosebumps when I hear it, and she leaned in to me and kissed my cheek softly and slowly made her way to corner of my mouth and then finally to my lips. After we kissed for a few seconds she pulled away and said,"If it makes you feel better I've been wondering if we should make love tonight or not, and honestly, I really want us to."
Kate's point of view: After I told Peyton that I really wanted us to make love tonight too he couldn't stop smiling. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close to him and said,"Just tell me when baby." I smiled and said,"Well right now I want to watch another movie." He smiled and said,"Whatever you want." I kissed him and turned on The Notebook and cuddled up against him and put my head against his chest and he wrapped him arms around me. The quiet rhythm of his breathing was very soothing, almost like a lullaby. I could feel myself starting to fall asleep half way through the movie and I looked up at Peyton and saw that he was already asleep. I smiled at this and cuddled back up against him and put my head on his chest again and listened to him breathing while watching the rest of the movie. When the movie ended I looked at the clock and it was almost 11. I gently shook Peyton and whispered,"Baby wake up." He moved a bit and opened his eyes slowly and smiled when he saw me and then he stretched out and stood up and stretched again and yawned a bit, and when he finished yawning he said,"You ready to go upstairs sweetie?" I nodded and said,"Yes I am. Are you ready though because you seem really sleepy." He smiled at me and said,"I'm ready baby," then he took my hand and helped me stand up and put his forehead against mine and whispered,"I promise you I'll be gentle." I smiled and I could feel myself starting to blush and I felt his hand come under my chin and gently lift my chin up so I was looking up at him and he kissed me softly with such incredible passion that I could feel electricity going through my body. He kept kissing me and I could feel my lips moving with his in their own rhythm and I could feel my legs starting to get weak. Peyton then wrapped his arms tightly around me and lifted me up with ease, still kissing me, and then he stopped and adjusted me in his arms so he was carrying me bridal style and headed up the stairs and into his room where he laid me down on his bed very gently. He got in bed beside me after he made sure I was comfortable and we continued kissing, still softly, but slowly getting more intense. I could feel Peyton's fingers lightly going over my sides and I smiled into his lips and pulled at his shirt a bit, and he slid his shirt off without a moments hesitation and continue to kiss me and rub my sides.
