We sat on the park bench for a long time that night.

I heard Keith sigh and shifted myself so that I could look at him. “Penny for your thoughts,” he said, smiling at me.

I laughed – what hadn’t I thought about? “A little of everything, quite honestly,” I replied.

“It is a little odd isn’t it?” He asked, making a face and chuckling. “We’ve always sworn we’d never be more than friends… and here we are… well, I guess this makes us more than friends – right?” He said, looking a little nervous – God, he was cute.

I smiled, “I’d like to think so.”

“Good. You know we’re never going to hear the end of people saying ‘I told you so,’” He said, smiling again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

He was right, of course. We went out with some friends three nights later, and they let us have it.

“I’m just glad she finally told him,” Holly added to the conversation that hadn’t let its focus fall from Keith and me.

“Hol…” I groaned.

“Well it’s true,” she said, matter-of-factly.

“Finally, huh?” Keith asked, looking at me and grinning widely, causing me to roll my eyes.

“As if you can say anything, Mr. Oh-my-God-I-can’t-believe-this-is-happening-what-the-hell-am-I-going-to-do,” Kenny told him.

Everyone laughed at that comment and Keith blushed brightly and looked at the ceiling. I hadn’t been this happy in a long time. The last three days had been great, even though our relationship hadn’t really changed – with the exception of the wonderful kisses and our cuddling finally meaning something. It was enough just knowing that he loved me. I couldn’t believe he’d be back out on the road in a week.

“She’s off in la-la land again,” I heard someone laugh, and shook my head a little.

“Huh?” I said looking in the general direction the voice had come from.

“Your man was talking to you,” Gail laughed.

“Her man… I think I like that,” Keith stated, smiling.

“You’d better,” I replied, laughing.

He chuckled and kissed me quickly and I heard Kenny mumble something about it being one of the oddest things he’d ever seen and Holly agreeing that she never thought she’d see the day. I laughed and Keith stuck his tongue out at them before asking me, “You ready to go?”

“Sure – yeah. Lemme run to the girl’s room first.”

“We’re coming with you,” Holly and Gail chimed.

“Why is it that women all go to the restroom together?” Dave asked.

“To make men wonder why we do it,” I answered and the girls laughed. “We’ll be back in a minute.”

“More like ten,” Kenny said, sarcastically.

The door to the restroom had no sooner closed than I was bombarded with all sorts of questions and chided for not calling them to spill. I told them everything and they giggled and “aw-ed” the entire time.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“So I’ve been thinking about something,” Keith started, after we’d pulled out of the restaurant parking lot. We were going back to his place, where I was staying, as we were trying to spend as much time as possible together before he left for the rest of the tour next Sunday.

“Ok…”

“Come out on the road with me.”

Go out on the road with him? I wanted to – more than anything – but I had a job, I had bills to pay, I had responsibilities. “Keith…”

“I know what you’re thinking, but you can get out of your lease early – or sublet your place until the lease ends – or I’ll just pay the rent… you said the other day you were going to have to renew soon, so there isn’t much time left on it… you haven’t signed the papers yet, so just don’t sign them at all. We’ll move your things to my house and organize everything after the tour. And you hate your job anyway – or your boss, at least. And you’ll still get to see your sister and your friends, you know that, I’ve always gotten to see you a lot,” he paused and I opened my mouth to say something, just before he started again. “And don’t worry about money, let me take care of you. It’s not a problem – you know that. You know me, you know I’m not trying to sound conceited, but baby…” he stammered, looking for the right words, “… none of it does me any good if I can’t help the people I love. Please come out with me.”

He looked at me and I thought I might cry. He’d answered every question I had and come up with a solution for every one of my doubts. He’d even started in on my stubbornness… I so wanted to go with him, to be able to spend every day and night with him and to be able to see him work his magic on stage every night… but… I sighed. I’d always been very adamant that he not help me out, monetarily – he was my friend… boyfriend… I… I gave up. He knew me well enough to know about my pride, and I knew he’d never let me lose it… and it was obvious how much he wanted this. “Ok Keith.”

“Really?”

“Really,” I smiled at him and he grinned.

“I thought it would be more work than that,” he chuckled.

“Did you just insult me?” I asked, in mock offense.

“Nope, simply stating the truth.” We both laughed and I settled down into my seat, pleased with my decision, and excited at the thought of not having to spend time away from Keith.

LOL - I haven't decided if Hope's the jealous type or not yet. She's known him since he first moved to the states (hence the 13 years), so one would think she'd be used to his fan... but it would make for some good conflict. I think I may have another idea for conflict though - I'm thinking she's known him too long and seen him go through too much to get to where he is to be jealous.

And it's really weird that I'm sitting here talking about a completely fictious individual like she actually exists... oy... lol.
