" Good, just remember that if the urge to cheat ever surfaces. I won't beso forgiving a second time," I warned."Considered me warned. So we're good no...w?" We're good," I smiled. Being upset with her was something I didn'tparticularly like. Kissing her is so much better. She apparently thoughtthe same about me since she leaned over and kissed me."Ewww, Allison goo! Ack! Gah!" I overly dramatized."That's just wrong. Cute, but wrong," Bec stated trying not to join mein my laughing fit but failing.. . yes ma, believe it. We even have that in common... ma? Are you still there? OK, I'll talk to you in the morning, bye... love you too, and tell pop and Chrissy if you don't mind... AHA! Might have known you'd be listening in, ya scamp!
