"Oh, I wanna do it, alright."

"Dawson! Behave!"

"Sorry, okay. Love you, Keatie. I'll text you before I go to sleep."

"K, bye."

And then I walked out his door.

Who is stalking me, apparently?

Aiden.

Looking more god like than ever, in a plain white T-shirt that shows off his golden tan skin and a pair of white basketball shorts, with little red stripes down the side.

He grabs my hand, says, "Come here." And I follow him up to his room.

He shuts his door, locks it, dazzles me with a smile and says, "So, only had twelve tonight. But we won!"

"Yeah, you all played great. Really. Riley's really stepping up."

"He is. That and we had a secret weapon."

"What's that?"

"Motivation."

"I saw the clovers on the footballs. That your doing?"

"Yeah. This really cool girl wished me luck and offered me dances. So I gave a little motivational speech before the game. Showed everyone that I drew them on the game balls, prayed Coach wouldn't kill me, and it was a big hit. We went out there pretty pumped up."

"It was awesome, really."

"So I didn't have a chance to pick twelve new songs, okay if we do some of the old ones?"

"Are we dancing tonight?"

"Heck yeah."

He hits his ipod to play and pulls me in close. We sway to the music, grind a little, I look into eyes. He gets so close to me. Like before. It's like our faces have a forcefield just around them.

He is toying with my forcefield.

Firing shots, trying to find its weakness.

And what's up with that?

Because I clearly told Kirk, or Scotty, whoever is in charge of that stuff on the starship, shields DOWN! (So many of these scenes with Aiden and Keatyn were not changed, because, well, he is amazing!) But he WILL NOT kiss me. He is totally teasing me, totally playing with me, and it pisses me off, and makes me weak at the knees at the same time.

Remember how I said it feels like time stood still when I kissed him. It feels that way when I dance with him. Like we are the only two people on this green earth, and we're okay with that. And before I realize it, we've gone through not just twelve songs, but all twenty nine on his original playlist. Rap music blares on, and I look at the clock.

Oh shit!

Shit!!!

"Aiden!! I'm thirty six minutes late!!!"

I go tearing out of there.

Check in and receive a very stern warning and over one hundred minutes of detention.

Worth every second.

I mean, our team won, right?

I'm in the dorm, downstairs, dealing with being late.

And maybe slightly traumatized.

I have texts, lots of texts: Dawson: Almost done :) Katelyn: You are 12 minutes late for curfew. Where are you?

Katelyn: Texted Dawson, to tell you you were late, you are not with him???? Where are you??? And now you are 15 minutes late.

Dawson: Where are you? I thought you were going back to your dorm?

Katelyn: I'm freaking out, 18 minutes late.

Katelyn: Text me for god's sake.

Maggie: Katelyn is trying to find you.Where are you?

Annie: Why aren't you in your dorm? Why aren't you answering? She says Dawson doesn't know where you are.

Riley: Katelyn has texted everyone wanting to know where you are. Where are you?

Dawson: Text me when you get in. I'm getting worried, Keatie :( Katelyn: You ARE 27 MINUTES LATE!!!! (First of all, Katie, you need to chill out!) Dallas: Heard you are MIA, have a sneaking suspicion you are uh, tutoring. If so, use Dallas as your excuse. I will always have your back. But you better text me back and tell me. (Secondly, Dallas is wise beyond his years. And a really good friend.) Katelyn: 32 MINUTES!!

Me to Katelyn: I'm in the dorm. Will be up in a few. Getting my ass chewed first. Tell everyone you were texting I'm fine. K?

Katelyn: THANK GOD! And K :) Me to Dallas: I love you, seriously. And you are correct. I told you he is a powerful one. I got lost in his eyes and lost all track of time.

Dallas: Why do I have a feeling you have something to do with the four leafed clover. He gave you one before dance tryouts, right? (And observant, too!) Me: Right. And again before my speech. I just decided to like pay it forward. He wished me luck, I knew it was a rough game, I have school spirit, wanted you to win, offered up some more dances, that's where I was.

Dallas: Was it just dancing?

Me: Yes. I have a bf.

Dallas: If you were my gf, I wouldn't want you dancing with Aiden, I wouldn't give a shit about school spirit. (Exactly. Love how he calls her out on this.) Me: I'm a freshman, I'm into school spirit.

Dallas: Then next time, you motivate me:) (But then. LOL. Let's get high and kiss.) Me: So what were we doing, why was I late?

Dallas: You were helping me study for our English test tomorrow and we were both so tired, we fell asleep.

Me: We have a English test tomorrow??!!

Dallas: Yes...go study. love you :) you seriously need to talk me up to Katie, she's cute too. I deserve it.

me: Done :) me to Dawson: Hey, sorry. I'm fine. Was studying with Dallas, fell asleep in his room. Will be in detention for the rest of my life :( Dawson: Aw, it's okay. I was just worried about you. Love you. Night
