Chad closed the door to his apartment and turned around to see Whitney already sitting down on the couch. He walked over to her slowly and stood looking at her, who was avoiding eye contact with him by looking around at the boxes full of unpacked items. Whitney let a tightened the grip her hands had on her elbows and sighed.
"Oh, here-" Chad said, grabbing a blanket off the arm of the couch and wrapped it around her. "Do you want a glass of water or something? I can't take any special requests, I haven't been shopping exactly."

"That's a shock from how much you eat." Whitney joked.

"Was that a joke? Oh, my God. The girl made a joke." Chad said, trying his best to lighten the mood. But how much of the mood can you exactly lighten with a girl who was almost raped?

"I'd like a glass of water. Thanks." Whitney smiled, softly as Chad stood up and walked to the small kitchen area. She looked around again and let a small chuckle out when she saw the stereo and C/D's sitting on top of the boxed items. "Do you mind if I turn on the stereo?" she asked, standing up and holding the blanket around her.

"No, go ahead. But that thing - I guess I'm not getting good reception here - I can't get any radio stations." Chad said, filling a glass with water from the facet.

Whitney turned on the stereo as Chad walked over next to her with her drink, and immediately got a station, clear as day, that started playing a soft slow jazz song.

When you just give love and never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart

Chad and Whitney stared at the stereo, just listening to the words. "That wasn't working earlier today." Chad said, handing Whitney the glass.

Whitney looked up at him, "Theresa would say this is fate."

"I think fate's a little over rated for us." Chad said.

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Whitney took a drink and sat the glass down. "I'm sorry."

"About what?"

"Everything. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been such a coward and persuaded you to not tell Simone about us." Whitney said as tears formed in her eyes. "I have never been honest with you Chad. Not really. But I want to change that. I want you to know everything I'm thinking, wanting, knowing, and everything about me. Inside and out."

Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

"Then just tell. Tell everything you want me to know about you. I want to know it."

"The truth is, I love you. Plain and simple, it seems, but I haven't made it that way. I want you in ways I never imagined I would want someone....and I have treated you like you're nothing. Like the words you've always spoken to me meant nothing. And everytime you told me that you loved me, I rolled it off and acted like I didn't care, when inside, everytime you say those 3 words to me, my heart just bursts with all these emotions I never even knew existed. And it kills me, because I know I'm know where near good enough for you-"

"Whitney, no-"

"-you, you deserve someone who doesn't hide what she's feeling and isn't scared to take leaps on life and go live for the day and herself. I can barely handle my own life, think of how bad I would screw up yours."

"You're doing a great job screwing up my life right now by not being in it. I'm going to let you in on a little secret, okay? No one is perfect. You're human, thus you're automatically non-perfect. Indefinitely." Chad said, with a pause, "God, whatever you do, don't tell your Dad I told you that. He'd kill me." Chad joked, making a tear fall down Whitney's cheek. "Can you imagine that? 'My daughter is perfect. Die.'" Chad mimicked TC, jokingly.

"I'm really sorry." Whitney said again.

"Hey-" Chad pulled Whitney into his arms and held her there, until her moved his head down to try and face her, when she looked up and her their lips just inches apart. Both wanted the same thing. They both needed it.

Chad cupped her cheek with his hand softly and slowly leaned forward and pressed his lips gently against Whitney's. The two made the kiss last. It had been far too long since their lips had last met.

Well it's too bad
and it's too sad
but I'm still in love with you

Whitney's hands moved from the back of Chad's neck to his shoulders and down his arms, then to his back. Chad's hand moved from her cheek to the back of her head while his other hand held her against him, as if she'd be going someplace.

The blanket fell off Whitney's shoulders and to the floor. She had completely forgotten all about telling Chad about Simone knowing about their secret and asking him to explain his note. All she could think about was the present. The fact that they were there, in his room, together for what shouldn't had been the first time. Because they should always be together. She pulled away slowly and whispered, "I want you to know me inside and out, Chad."

Chad stared at her for a moment and looked at her with surprise only to receive another earth shattering kiss. Whitney eased back, grabbing a hold of Chad's shirt in an aggressive/playful way and lead him to the bed a few feet away.

Oh, you love then you snub me
Oh, what can I do? I'm still in love with you

Whitney stopped moving when her legs felt the bed behind her. She reached for the top button on Chad's shirt and undid it. Chad reached for the hem of Whitney's shirt and pulled it over her head revealing her pink lace bra, and interrupting her undressing him, as he threw it to the floor and held her head in his hands as he kissed her hard and more aggressive than before. Which Whitney obliged the heated contact, finishing unbuttoning his shirt and throwing it to the floor next to her own.

Whitney fell onto the bed with Chad right on top of her, when she went in for another kiss, Chad moved back slightly, surprising Whitney. "I love you." Chad said, ending her worries.

"I know."

"I know you know, but I just wanted to tell you." Chad said as he moved down and kissed her again as they finished undressing themselves and consummated their love for one another.

I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you

Chad moved a curl out of Whitney's sleeping face as he heard the jazz song end. It was then that Chad realized that the song had been playing over and over again while he and Whitney were making love. He looked down at his sleeping beauty and kissed her softly on the cheek as he dozed off to sleep with her safe and secure in his arms.
