~*~*Chapter 11*~*~ (REAL SMALL CHAPTER)
They had spent the rest of the night just talking. The car ride home, Heather fell asleep on Brian's shoulder. He pulled into her parking lot and quickly turned off the ignition. He shook her gently.
"Hey, c'mon," Brian whispered. Heather stretched. He walked her to the door and gave her a quick hug and kiss.
"I'll call you tomorrow," Brian promised.
"I'll be waiting." Heather closed the door and walked into her room, snuggling into a quick sleep.
~*~*Chapter 12 *~*~
Ring! Ring! The phone rang in Heather's ear.
"Hello?"
"Hello."
"Oh, hi"
"Did you have a good night's sleep?" Brian asked her.
"Yup. I dreamed of you..."
"Really?? Was it good? PLEASE tell me it was good," Brian's phone was starting to sound fuzzy.
"Brian? Hello?? Where are you??" Heather asked.
"Actually, in your hallway," As soon as he said that, Brian walked into her room with breakfast in bed.
"BRIAN! That's so sweet!" She was practically in tears. Brian took off his shoes and crawled under the covers.
"What are you doing?" Heather screamed with laughter. Brian shrugged.
"I can't believe I made these pancakes without waking you up. If Nick did it, he would wake up your neighbors," Brian said.

""So what are we going to do today? " Brian asked when they got downstairs.
"I have to get a dress for the graduation. I didn't think you would want to come shopping with me."
"Of course I want to go with you!" He picked her up and placed Heather on the counter and kissed her.
They leaned backwards, causing Heather to hit her head on the cabinet.
"Ouch!" she said, pulling away from him.
"I'm sorry!" Brian rubbed her banged head and kissed it gently. "Let's go get you a dress!"
~~~~~~~
Brian and Heather walked hand in hand into Lissettes, the local dress store. They had a variety of dresses there. She eyed a blue-satin dress. She grabbed it and headed towards the dressing room.
"Hey, Wait!" Brian ran over to her. He was carrying a handful of about 12 dresses.
"What are all these for??" Heather questioned Brian.
"I dont know, just thought I'd help you out and make it easier for you." Heather took the dresses and walked into the dressing room. Brian sat outside the door. A few minutes later, she walked out of the room with the blue satin dress on. She walked over to the mirror.
"Brian, can you do me a favor?" she asked.
"Sure." He stood from the chair.
"Can you zip me up in the back?" She turned around, exposing her bare back. His eyes widened. He walked behind her and she felt his warm hands on her back. His touch gave her chills all the way up her spine. She felt his breath upon his neck.
"I like this dress," Brian murmured.
"So do I." She turned around slowly, Brian still standing there. Brian smiled. They looked into each others eyes. Brian kissed her bottom lip.
"I better get out of this dress," she whispered. She turned on her heel and walked back inside the dressing room.

BRIAN
Brian sat back in his chair and put his head in his hands. He thought back about the incident that happened a few minutes before. He remembered the distinct smell of her hair. He had inhaled her scent.
He was actually nervous about meeting her parents. Going back to Michigan and staying in her house gave Brian the butterflies. Just then Heather walked out of the dressing room. She put the rest of the dresses back on the hangers and quickly paid for the dress.
