my tears and kissed me again, and again. He didn’t stop, and soon I had stopped crying as I was only able to focus on his lips…his mouth and his hands which were, for the first time, exploring my body.
    I was clinging to him, praying he wouldn’t stop, knowing this time, it would be impossible to turn back. He kissed my lips and then trailed kisses down my neck. He unbuttoned my pajamas and exposed my bare breasts.
    He stopped and looked at me for a minute and then focused on my eyes. “Abby, I think now’s the right time…is it?” he asked, actually waiting for my permission.
    I could only nod and pull him to me. Every second was heaven and after he had finally made me his, he looked down at me and saw that I was crying…again.
    “Oh God, are you okay? Abby, what’s wrong? Did I hurt you?” he asked, worried about me. When I didn’t say anything, he whispered, “Are you sorry?” 
    He started to roll off of me and I quickly pulled him back, holding him tight. “Yes,” I said staring up at him through my tears.
    “Oh, God, I knew I shouldn’t have…”
    “Kellan, I’m only sorry that we waited…and now you’re leaving!” I said and sobbed in his arms.
    He sighed in relief and said, “Well, we still have tonight.”
    I pulled him down to me and whispered, “And tomorrow morning.” He was kissing me again and every second was magical…
    An hour later we were wrapped in each other’s arms, reeling in the afterglow and I watched as the angel in my favorite snow globe seemed to dance on the clouds, mimicking exactly how I felt at that moment.
     
    We fell asleep sometime after three…I think. I knew it was late and I knew he had a long flight, but I woke up early and as I looked down at him I knew we were almost out of time. “He can sleep on the plane,” I said to myself and decided to wake him up.
    I kissed his cheek and nuzzled his neck, but he was pretty much out. I got out of bed and ran into the kitchen to make us something for breakfast, thinking he might need his strength. I made us both some scrambled eggs and toast and climbed back into bed with him. He woke up this time with the movement of me getting back into bed.
    “Good morning,” he said and stretched.
    “The best,” I smiled down at him and kissed him.
    We ate breakfast and talked for a while, but it wasn’t long before the dishes were on the floor and I was on him. 
    We had just finished making love again and I was straddling him, looking down at the man I loved.
    “I can’t believe I talked you out of going to USC! What was I thinking?”
    “That you love me and you don’t want me to quit, now.”
    “If we had made love before you’d asked me, my answer might have been different,” I teased.
    “You’re not making this easy on me,” he grinned.
    “No, I can tell it’s a very hard decision for you,” I smiled.
    “Yeah, well, that’s been an issue for a while now. You drive me crazy. Abby, if you want me to stay, I will, and you don’t have to feel guilty, because I don’t want to leave.”
    “What I want…is you.”
    “I think you’ve had me…a few times.”
    “Hmm, but your plane doesn’t leave for another three hours,” I grinned.
    “Come here,” he said and pulled me down to him. 
                 
    “TYLER! Just what the hell do you think…?” Joe shouted, but stopped, completely in shock when he realized it wasn’t Tyler in my bed.
    Kellan protectively pulled me over to the side of the bed and covered me with a sheet. He looked down at my terrified expression and whispered, “It’s okay, Abby. Remember what I told you. They’re not going to do a thing.”
    “The hell I’m not! You better get out of that bed and face me like the man you think you are!” Joe ordered.
    “Get out, Joe. We can chat after Abby and I get dressed.”
    Joe threw Kellan’s pants at him and said, “NOW! Abby, get dressed!”
    He walked out of the room and Kellan said, “I’m sorry we were
