"You're a horrible tease, my love." Matthew laughed as he took a few more bites of his macaroni and cheese. "What ever will I do with you?" He asked, rolling his eyes playfully.

Leaning over, Leane placed a tender kiss upon his lips as she murmured teasingly, "Love me and kiss me?"

"Mm, maybe." Matthew grinned against her lips as he curled a hand in her hair and brought her lips back against his own.

"Maybe? Maybe? You don't want to kiss me anymore?" Leane said with a teasing pout as she leaned back a bit to look up into his eyes, "Well that's a shame.. 'cause I rather like kissing you.."

"Don't be silly, Lee. Of course I want to kiss you." Matthew said as he brought her lips back to his own. "But I can't help but feel like there's something holding us apart." He grinned as he looked down at the table.

Leane smiled as she stood and walked to stand beside him. Gently tugging at his hand, Leane winked as she spoke, "That could be remedied by moving to the living room. How much time do we have until your parents come hom?"

"A few hours." Matthew said as he stood up and put an arm around Leane's waist. "When is Josh expecting you back?" He asked as he led Leane to the living room.

Sitting down on the couch and gently pulling Matt down with her, Leane replied softly as she slipped onto his lap and leaned into him, pressing tender kisses against his neck as she spoke between kisses, "By eleven. As long as I'm home by curfew, I'm fine."

As one hand slid around his waist and clutched at his shirt, Leane's other hand slid into his hair as her lips left a trail of kisses up his neck, across his chin, and to his lips.

Matthew wrapped his arms tighter around Leane's waist as he pulled her into him, giving her long, tender kisses. "So I can keep you all to myself?" He asked with a small smile as he left small kisses along her jaw.

"For as long as you want," Leane murmured softly as she leaned into his kisses. "I love you," Leane whispered with a warm smile before placing long, tender kisses upon Matt's lips, "so so much."

"I love you too, Leane." Matthew promised as he ran his finger over the length of her neck before cupping it gently.

Leaning into his palm, Leane smiled as she placed a tender kiss upon his lips. As the time passed, Leane and Matt continued to kiss; their kisses and caresses growing in tenderness and passion.

"Mm, Lee." Matthew murmured, noticing the clock out of the corner of his eye. "You should be getting home, love." He said as he reluctantly broke their kisses.

Leane frowned lightly as she leaned in and resumed kissing him, "I'm quite happy where I am, actually."

"Leane..." Matthew sighed. "Must you always try to undermine my self-control?" Matthew asked with a teasing grin as he brought them both to stand. "I don't want you to get in anymore trouble with Josh." he said as he tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Yeah, I know.. Josh is probably waiting up.. Not to mention your parents'll probably be home soon.. I'll see you in school tomorrow, 'kay?" Leane said with a smile as she placed a long, tender kiss upon his lips, "I love you."

"I love you too, Leane." Matthew said he placed another soft kiss on her lips. "Sweet dreams." He grinned as he brought Leane towards the door.

Placing a tender kiss upon his lips, Leane laughed as she reminded him, "Dearest, I still need my bag and snacks.. trying to be rid of me so soon?" she teased with a wink as she slipped around him and headed into his room to collect her things. Returning moments later, Leane placed one last kiss upon Matt's lips. "Sleep well, dearest, I'll see you in the morning," Leane murmured softly against his lips with a quick kiss before opening the door and heading outside towards her car.

Matthew couldn't keep the grin off his face as he returned to the table and cleared the dishes. After putting the dishes on the rack to dry, Matthew went to his room and settled into the beanbags after putting in an old movie as he waited for his parents to come home.

Leane sighed as she walked inside, wearily looking around for Josh. Seeing that he was nowhere to be found, Leane slipped up to her room, changed for bed, and slipped beneath the covers and falling asleep, hoping to cover the fading bruise with make-up in the morning so Josh couldn't see it.

Matthew couldn't hold back a yawn after his parents had given him a detailed description of his trip. "I didn't mean to bore you." His mother laughed.

"I'm fine, mom." Matthew said, rolling his eyes. "Its just been a long day. I"m going to bed." He said before disappearing from the living room and getting ready for bed in his usual sweatpants. Slipping into the covers, Matthew fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.

The next morning, Leane sighed as she sat in front of her vanity, caressing her stomach, wondering if life had begun to form. "What will Josh think if he knew.."

Sighing, Leane put on some make-up before trying to cover her bruise. Covering it the best she could, Leane dressed into leggings and a dress before putting in earrings. After placing a necklace around her neck, Leane put her hair up into a bun, the colors swirling. Fixing her side-banks and letting a few strands of hair hang loose, Leane headed downstairs for breakfast.

Seeing Josh waiting, Leane sighed and began talking to him about why she'd been gone all weekend - saying she needed some time to talk to Matt and work on a project of sorts.

Matthew stretched the next morning before smacking the off button of his alarm. Sighing, Matthew hurriedly brushed his hair, brushed his teeth, and dressed into a simple jeans and t-shirt. Matthew made his way to his car and drove to pick up Gena, dropping her off at the front doors before parking his car and waiting for Leane.

Finally getting out of the house, Leane headed to her car and sighed. Getting her cell phone out, Leane called her doctor before leaving the house and scheduled an appointment for 9 o'clock on November 15th, 10 days after she and Matthew accidentally had unprotected sex.

That done, Leane drove to school in silence, her thoughts consumed by the fear that she was pregnant.

Reaching the school, Leane grabbed her things and headed over to Matt with a small smile. Placing a tender kiss upon his lips, Leane set her stuff down on the hood of his car before wrapping her arms around his waist, standing on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear before kissing his cheek with a small blush, "I made an appointment for 9 o'clock on the 15th for the doctor. If you can't come I'll understand, but I'd really like for you to be there with me."

"Of course I'll be there." Matthew said as he put his arms around Leane and placed soft kisses on her neck. "It'll be alright, Leane." He assured her as he cupped her chin and brought her eyes to his own. "I promise."
