This is an original story and all similarities in
names, places, etc, alive or otherwise, are pure
coincidences.
A word from the author:
	Hi, everyone! Thanks for the comments and
encouragement; I truly appreciate them. Keep them
coming, please!!! Well, this time round, I am taking
my own sweet time in finishing this particular chapter
because I am trying to cope with schoolwork and other
stuff that are sometimes overwhelming, but I am just
fine. This chapter is short but sweet, I hope.
Hehehehehe!!! Tell me what you guys think of it, okay?
Thanks so much! *Wink*

	Finally, the big day arrived! We would be going down
to my parents' home today. I had not yet told them
about me and Ted, and I was hoping that it might come
as a surprise. Well, we had the gifts stowed in the
back compartment yesterday. Last night was very
special because Ted and I "officially" slept in my
room together. It was so nice and warm to have someone
hugging me to sleep. Not to mention that he was sexy
and delectable.
	This time round in the morning, I was getting even
with Ted. "So, it seems that someone else has SUDDENLY
decided to bring along TWO suitcases after all. I
don't seem to be the ONLY one," I emphasized a few
words to drive my point home, barely able to suppress
the laughter building in me. Ted looked at me and
smiled. Damn! Sexy smile, even at this time of the
day, which was only half-past seven in the morning.
	"WELL," he drawled out the word. "I am having second
thought about coming on this trip because SOMEONE is
teasing me for bringing two suitcases, just like a
certain somebody that I know." He was still grinning
at me and I just could not help myself but smiled back
at him. Sigh, what could I say!!! He was
IRRESISTIBLE!!!!!
	"Hmm, do I know that "certain somebody" as well?" I
replied, just as calm as he was.
	"Let me see! I think you know him pretty...okay, I
think," he answered, the smile never left his face for
even a split of a second. Grrr! This good-looking guy
would cause me to have an overdose of silly grins and
I might have to undergo a surgery to pull my face back
to normal. *Grin*
	"Is he as cute as me?" I mocked seriousness now.
	"What's that smell? Smells like vinegar, kind of
sour. I think someone is jealous, huh?"
	"I think you must be nuts. Who is jealous here? I
won't be, in case you have the wrong opinion,
darling," I acted nonchalant, and I could see that I
was winning by the look on his face. PRICELESS, I tell
you!!
	"You aren't? Hey, Jeremy. Seriously now! Will you be
jealous if somebody...you know, kind of get close to
me?"
	"Hahaha! C'mon, Ted. Read my lips. I LOVE YOU. If
anybody tries to get MY MAN, he has to fight me
first," I smiled wider now. This had  to be the best
day yet! I rarely won our little "teasing competition"
and he was, more often than not, the emerging
champion. I could now savor the taste of VICTORY!!!
Hehehe......
	"Whew, I thought I matter so little in your heart.
You sure know how to torture a poor guy who is so in
love with you, you know?" If anyone told me that a
good-looking guy with a pleading little-boy-look would
look even better than he already had been usually, I
would say: "PIGS FLY!!!" Now, I had to say that it was
possible. Ted looked good enough to "eat" right here,
right now!! Hehehehehe......
	"Soooo, what is the best thing I can give to ease
your broken heart, sweetie?" I was getting cornier and
cheesier than I ever thought possible. In fact, I
would say that I had crossed the brink of
"DISGUSTINGLY CHEESY." What could I say! LOVE, baby!
LOVE!!!
	"Hmm, I think a teeny-weeny, little kiss will be
sufficient, for the time being," he added the last
part quickly. Well, needless to say, I had to do
whatever my heart's desire told me to, and I leaned
forward to kiss him on the lips. Uhhmm, he smelt
heavenly, as usual. *Wink* After a somewhat longer
kiss than expected, hehehe, we separated and I looked
into his eyes. If I could drown myself in those sexy
blue eyes, I would willingly "jump in."
	"Now that I have kissed you, can we get down to
business? We have a three hours drive ahead of us and
I promise my parents that we will arrive before
lunchtime, which is exactly at twelve o'clock," I
informed him of this, still gazing into a pair of
heart-melting eyes. SIGH!!!
	"Okay, I am ready whenever you are. I will drive for
the first half of the journey, so for the next one and
a half hour, relax and enjoy the view, honey," he
grinned one of those sexy smiles, making my knees weak
and my body was filled with this crazy feeling, as if
I was floating.
	"Fine by me. Drive slower, okay?" I reminded him. I
had not had the chance to tell you guys yet, but my
man--I love this, drove like he was on a racing course
instead of on the road, and sometimes, I had to thank
God for the fact that he was still alive. Sigh, my
man!
	"What? You have no confidence in me? You have to
realize that your man is one of the best drivers there
ever is in this world," he boasted without,
apparently, feeling any embarrassment for saying
something like that.
	"Okay, loverboy. Just be careful, okay? I am still
young, you know?" I teased him one last time before we
were finally on our way. Actually, I had been down
this road before and I had seen whatever there were to
be seen. I was so overjoyed to have my man beside me,
so in the end I did not notice anything much because I
had to keep on reminding loverboy that he was driving
dangerously close to killing us both. In addition,
Anthony was killed in a car accident, but I had no
car-phobia, if ever such a thing existed. I just
didn't want to lose Ted the same way I lost Anthony.
The difference is that Anthony was not a road-devil,
unlike this sexy man next to me. SIGH! Love, babe!
LOVE! Ted and I had a casual chat along the way, but I
guess I was so tired that I just fell asleep after a
while. Ted and I talked for hours after we were
snuggled up in bed. We did not do anything else
though, just talked!! *GRIN* Now, I was exhausted and
leaned my head on the shoulder of my man, so strong
and comfortable! Sigh! I could certainly learn to live
like this forever, safe and happy with my lover, my
soulmate.

Okay, everyone! The chapter is done. Sorry that it is
short, but I am doing my best to get them posted soon
for your enjoyment and pleasure! *Smile* As per usual,
e-mail me with whatever comments and complaints that
you have. E-mail me at: sensual_dude2000@yahoo.com
By the way, I am a BIG FAN of Mariah Carey. The reason
why I am constantly using the word "loverboy" in this
chapter is because Mariah has a new single called
"Loverboy" which will be out soon. The song is all
over the radio right now and you can request it for
your b/f; hehehe!!
