"Emma these are amazing." Cass smiled at the brunette sitting cross-legged under the window with a large sketch pad in her lap. Emma grinned but didn't look up from what she was working on. "That's because those are my dad's pictures. I'm no where as good as he was." "Man, he had some talent." Cass shifted on Emma's bed, trying desperately to look over the girl's shoulder at the picture. Emma giggled and shifted so that Cass would have to get up off the bed to look at it. Cass sighed in defeat and shifted back onto the bed. Cass rolled onto her back, staring up at the ceiling. "So what were AJ and Dante doing tonight?" "AJ had a date with...oh...what's her name." Emma closed her sketch book and shoved it under her bed. "Melanie, that's it. So in turn she set Dante up with one of her friends. Some blonde tramp with more air in her head than the service station down the street." Cass raised an eyebrow at Emma's last comment. "Jealous much?" "I am not JEALOUS." Emma sat down next to Cass on the bed. "If Dante wants to date some little..." "Slut." "So mote it be." Emma declared. Cass grinned. "So that kiss out on the dance floor of the Bronze, was what a fluke? Cause it looked rather hot to me." "It could've been. We are on the Hellmouth." Emma sighed, losing her gusto. "So that doesn't mean anything." Cass sat up. "You're right." Emma declared smiling. "Tonight we have our fun and forget about men for a while." She held up the bag from Blockbuster. Cass giggled, and took the bag from Emma. "Lets go order the pizza." "You go on down I'll be down in a few." Emma sighed as Cass left. She walked over to the full length mirror and pulled her hair up into a loose pony tail. "How was your date?" Emma asked without turning around. "Horrible. The things I do for AJ." Emma smiled and turned around to face Dante, who was sitting just inside of the open window. "Serves you right." She placed her hands on her hips. "You could have come in at any time, you know." He gave her a crooked grin. "What and miss your little tirade on the girls I date? I don't think so." He stepped all the way into her room. "How long did you know I was out there?" "From the time you got here almost two hours ago." She smirked. "What did you do meet the girl and leave?" "Pretty much." "You're a lousy date, Dante." "Not when you've got half the football team wanting to kill you because you're out with their whore." Emma crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow. "Besides why have a nymph when I can have a goddess instead." Dante wrapped an arm around Emma's waist and pulled her close to him. "I hate you. You know that right?" Emma told him, her arms going around him. "Yeah I do." Dante laughed. He tilted her head up so that his lips met hers in a slow unhurried kiss that seemed to last for ever. His hands ran down her back slowly sliding up under the hem of the tank top she was wearing. Feeling the shivers run along her spine as he caressed her back. Emma suddenly broke the kiss and pulled away from Dante. "This isn't going to work, Dante." "Why not?" Dante asked crossing his arms over his chest. "Because..." "Because why?" "Because I am terrified. That's why." She spoke in a hushed tone and wrapped her arms around herself. "I have all these feelings for you and I have no control of them." "Em..." Dante sighed taking her be the hand and leading her over to the bed. He knelt down in front of her, taking her small hands in his. "Love isn't something that any of us have control over. In fact it controls our every moment." He looked up into her eyes. "Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning when you're around and then you kiss me and...I love you Em. I don't know when or how it happened, all I know is I like how it feels and everything else can go to hell." Emma smiled and kissed him again enjoying the sensation of his mouth against hers. "No more dates with any of AJ's girlfriend's friends, got it." "I promise." "Good I'd have to have to kick your ass." Dante laughed kissing her again. "And you would too." They both started when they heard footsteps coming up the steps. "I think that's my cue to get out of here." Dante said standing, heading toward the window. Emma grabbed his hand. "Go home, don't stay out there all night." "Promise luv." He grinned as he disappeared out the window. "I've really got to keep that window closed." Emma giggled as she sat back down on the bed to wait for Cass.
