Leane blushed as she leaned back on his lap and looked into his eyes as she stammered, "R-really? Y-you-you mean it? You will? No matter what?" Leane had to fight from screaming in happiness at his words as she bit her bottom lip, a large smile spreading across her lips as she looked at him, happiness radiating from her face as a deep blush remained in her cheeks.

"Of course." Matthew said, his brow furrowed in confusion. "Why would you think otherwise?" He smiled as he kissed the blush in her cheeks. "You're stuck with me, sweetheart." He teased. "And I thought I should break the news sometime." He smiled as she wrapped his arms tighter around her.

Leane laughed as he placed a tender kiss upon his forehead, "I didn't think.. I wasn't sure... I mean, after everything that's happened... and with everyone against us.. I... I didn't think you'd feel as strongly as I do.."

Placing a tender kiss upon his lips, Leane leaned into him and deepened the kiss. "I'm glad you 'broke the news'.. There's no one on earth I'd rather be stuck with than you," she teased between kisses as she gently caressed his cheek with her palm.

"I told you that I wasn't going to let anyone come between us." Matthew whispered against Leane's lips. "I was only worried that you'd leave me if something like this happened." He said, pointing to his nose. "I love you and nothing's going to change that." Matthew said softly before giving her a tender kiss.

Leane shook her head as she gently ran her fingers down the bridge of his nose before placing a light, gentle kiss upon the tip, "This will never stop me from being with you. You could be so banged up and mutilated that I can hardly tell who you are, and I'll still love you and will still be by your side every second I am able. I love you Matt.. I'm not going anywhere," she added with a smile as she leaned in and placed a tender kiss upon his lips, her tongue softly slipping between his lips to caress his own tongue as she leaned into him and deepened each kiss.

Matthew smiled against Leane's lips as he pulled her closer to him, one of his hands firm between her shoulderblades while the other tangled into her hair. Matthew let his lips explore the smooth skin of Leane's neck, leading to the base of his neck where he mulled over the smoothness of her skin with his lips. Bringing his lips back to Leane's, Matthew gently carressed her lips before slipping his tongue between her lips.

Leane moaned softly as Matt's lips caressed her own and his tongue brushed against her, her heart racing as her fingers slid to the hem of Matt's shirt and slid underneath, her fingertips softly brushing against his skin as they trailed up up his abdomen, his chest, and down his side before caressing his back.

Matthew felt his breathing become faster as Leane's fingers ran over his skin. "Leane." He moaned softly as he deepened the kiss, pressing her closer against him. His fingers slipped back under Leane's shirt and lightly trailed designs against her back as he edged the shirt up slightly.

Moving her lips to trail his jaw, Leane nibbled gently on his earlobe before whispering in his here, "Matt.. you're not being fair.." As her lips trailed to the base of his neck as she slid closer to him on his lap so that their was no space between their bodies, Leane murmured softly between each kiss, "You're teasing isn't fair at all.."

"Say no if you want me to stop." Matthew smiled between kisses before removing his hand from beneath her shirt. "But you're right, we need to stop." He sighed. "I love you." He said softly, cupping her face in his palm and giving her a gentle kiss before resting his forehead against her's.

Leane rolled her eyes playfully as she placed a tender kiss upon his lips and whispered, "I never said we needed to stop.. Not once.. I said you're not being fair because I know you'll stop.. and that's what's unfair.. I don't want to stop.."

"I don't want to stop either but we need to." Matthew sighed as he held her in his arms. "You're the one who makes it so difficult to stop." He smiled against her lips. "Not yet Leane. We have so much time to be together, I don't want to spoil that by moving things to fast." He sighed as he gave her a gentle kiss.

Leane sighed as she leaned back in his lap, her eyes cast down in defeat as she mumbled, "You wouldn't be spoiling anything... But fine," she added with a small smile, her eyes still cast down, "You win, again.. There's no changing your mind so I might as well give up, right?"

"Leane." Matthew sighed as he brought her eyes to meet his. "I want to be with you but if we go upstairs and make love you'll feel awful afterwards. You'll be repulsed by my touch and you won't even want to look at me because I"ll be that guy that took your virginity before you were ready. I love you and I couldn't stand it if that happened." He said, a frown spreading across his lips.

Leane sighed as she rested her forehead against his, her palm still gently caressing his cheek, "Matt.. you're wrong.. But I'm not going to force you.. I don't want you to do something you don't want to just because you think I'll be upset we don't... I love you, I can wait... You just.. you make it so hard for me to... Every time I'm with you.. I.. I want to show you how much I love you.. I.. Saying it just isn't enough.. I wan to prove it to you.. But...."

"You don't have to make love to me to prove you love me." Matthew soothed, leaning into her palm. "I know you love me. I love you as well. Don't think you have to prove yourself." He said quietly, giving her a small kiss. "I love you, Leane."

Leane placed a tender kiss upon his lips as she offered a small smile, "I know I don't have to.. and I know you know I love you.. I just.. I can't help how I feel... When we're together.. I can't help but want you nearer.. want you to hold me closer.. want you to be my first.. I.." Sighing, Leane placed a tender kiss upon his forehead, "I'm sorry.."

"Don't apologize." Matthew smiled. "Maybe its my fault for being so completely irresitable." He laughed as he carressed her back. "I want you to be my first as well but not yet." He said. "But now I see the fun in second base." Matthew laughed as he gave her a gentle kiss.

Leane smiled as she placed a soft kiss upon his lips and teased, "As much of a tease as it is, I have to say I'm glad it exists." Shifting so that she was closer to him, her body lightly pressed against his once more, Leane moved her lips to his neck, her tongue lightly caressing his skin with each kiss. "I love you.. I promise I won't mention it again.. okay? Please don't be angry with me...." she murmured softly against his skin between kisses.

"Angry?" Matthew asked, confused. "I have a beautiful girl here who loves me and wants to make love to me. I can promise you that there is nothing to be angry about." Matthew smiled as he brought Leane's lips to his own and kissed her gently. "I love you." He said. "Please don't be upset."

Leane smiled as she returned his kiss with a tender one and whispered softly against his loves, "I'm not upset.. not at all.. In one sense, I wish you would have taken me upstairs.. But in another.. by refusing me.. you're showing me how much you truly care about me and have proved why I love you so much and why I want to give you everything that's precious to me, everything that I hold dear."

Matthew smiled as he pulled Leane closer to him and gave her a long kiss. "So how about we just love each other?" He offered as he carressed her side. "I love you." He said softly before shifting Leane so that she sat by his side. "And that's why I think you should do your homework." He teased, kissing her hair.

Leane laughed as she gently brushed her nose against his cheek and whispered, "Coming from the guy who left school without picking up his homework, and has yet to attempt History even though the book is right here in front of him."

Placing one last kiss upon Matt's cheek, Leane curled up beside him as she opened her history book upon his lap once more and began working on problem four, "Are you staying for dinner? It'll just be us.. so we'll have to cook.."

"You said you interested in cooking." Matthew pondered. "Maybe you can show me your skills so I can figure out where I'm going to get you to apply for work." He smiled. "I'll help of course. What do you want to make?" He asked.

"Anything you're in the mood for is fine with me, the cook just stocked our kitchen, so I know we've got a ton of options," Leane laughed as she placed a kiss upon his cheek, "But you're still on the kick of me actually going off on my own and living my own life? Really, Matt.. you know it can't happen.."
