I grabbed her hands and used them to cup my face, making her look at me. "Stop crying," I said with a sad smile. "C'mon.. stop crying. You've cried too many times for me." Scarlet was crying even harder after I said that... Soon I gave her a pout, and that was when the corner of her lips move up. "C'mon, Scarly.. You know you want to smile," I said in a baby voice. "You gotta finish cleaning me up, remember? There's still my pants you have to take off," I joked.

Scarlet chuckled and took one of her hands out of mine to playfully slap me on my chest, but being her, her "playful" slap hurts like hell. "Ass," she said, wiping her last tears.

"Yes, my ass is very good to look at," I replied, grinning. "Wanna look?"

She slapped me again. "Maybe later," Scarlet said, making my heart skip a beat. She looked like she was dead serious too. Well, that is, until she was laughing at my shocked face. "Kidding, idiot. I'm not doing anything with you until it's legal."

"When's your birthday?" I questioned.

"It's in late February, Nathan. It's December now. That's all you have to know." She smiled as if she had won.

But that sad thing is, she won more than she thought she did. "Damn," I curse. "My birthday is in March!" Waving my arms in the air in exasperation, I plop back down onto the pillows. Seriously, three months is a long wait.

Scarlet moves over to the other side of the bed, leaning against the wall. Her finger begins to poke the side of my cheek. Repeatedly. It got annoying after three pokes. "Look on the bright side," she said.

"Oh yeah? And what would the bright side be?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

"I don't have to think of a birthday present for you," Scarlet says seductively. She slides down onto the sheets and kisses me softly on the lips. But the great thing was, she didn't pull away. Her lips move in sync with mine, slow and sickly sweet.

I wrap my arm around her slim waist, leaving no room between us. I could feel her tiny fingers running through my hair, though I had spent nearly ten minutes in the bathroom trying to fix it. Oh well, sex-hair is better than vomit-hair. You can't disagree with that.

After a while, one of her hands move down to my chest, slightly pushing me away but somehow bringing us closer. I felt her smile against my lips, which she had bitten. A groan escapes me as I felt her nails digging the skin between my neck and shoulder. My hands move under her shirt, and I swear I felt her shiver. And then a moan erupts from her as I run my tongue across her bottom lip. I didn't know how much I loved the sound until she did it again. It was probably music to my ears.

Finally breaking the tiring kiss, my lips move to her neck instead. I couldn't help but take a whiff of her hair though, it smells so much like... home. And to be honest, I think she was doing the same to me.

"I love you, Scarlet," I sigh, hugging her closer to me, if it was even possible.

Her lips move to my cheek. "I love you more."

"I doubt that. You hated me when you first met me," I argue.

"It was probably your freaking Axe smell," she replied, making me chuckle.

"You love it."

"Said no one ever."

"You miss it right now, I can tell," I mumble.

"No... I love your smell right now. Your natural smell. It smells like..." Scarlet struggles to find the word.

"Home," I said, completing her thought, and she hums, agreeing.

There was about five minutes of complete, thoughtful silence. But I wasn't thinking of anything, worrying about anything. It was just the comfortable quietness, taking me in. I felt like I can live now, I can live carefree. My mind was blank as ever, which was a first. There was no need to think.

All I needed to know was that Scarlet's heart was beating next to mine, slowly meeting my pace. We were already one, even if I don't have a part of her in me. And it was one of the greatest feelings in the world.

"Hey, Scarlet," I called, hoping she was still awake. Luckily, she was still awake enough to hum. "You know I'd die for you, right?"

"As much as I love to hear that, I would die if you die, Nathan," she replies sleepily.

"Oh." Great response, Nathan. "Well, just know that I'd do anything for you."

Scarlet didn't reply for a while, and I assumed she was asleep. But then she said three words that made me smile.

"Freaking cheesy Romeo..."

Scarlet's POV

I woke up to the sunlight outside shining on my face, making me warm and not to mention blind. Nathan's arm had been a wonderful pillow, but now  i was sweating like a big because of all the heat I was getting. I mean, I know I'm hot and all, but this is getting too literal... (haha...)

My eyelids were still too tired to open themselves, so I turned away from the light and faced Nathan. What I didn't notice was his "little buddy" poking my thigh. I nearly froze, and I think Nathan was awake since he noticed I almost did too.

"That isn't my fault," he groaned sleepily, and I swear it sounded really sexy... "I had a really nice dream..." he said, bringing me closer, and I didn't really mind after that.

"Was I in your dream, Nathan?" Grandma asked.

Wait. Grandma?!

Soon I was laughing my butt off because Nathan fell off the bed looking at Grandma, who was looking at us with a mysterious gleam in her eyes.

A/N: I'm not really happy with this chapter for some reason :/ *sighs* I know that you guys completed the challenge like three days ago, but seriously, I had homework on the first day of school. I lost so much sleep this week, I'm not even in the mood to be kidding. I'll probably be able to update only once a week now.. 

Anywho.. Thank you for all of your votes and comments! You should do it again ;) 

Okay, onto business. New deal. If you guys get me into a higher rank in the categories for Werewolf or Humor, I'll give you a tiny little spoiler in Maybe Not. The highest ranks for this story are Werewolf #7 / Humor #12. Get this story higher than those ranks and I'll give you one spoiler. This applies to the next chapters also! 

Question(s): Why is this story titled Maybe? If you could choose a theme song for this story, what would it be? (Get the 1st question right, I'll give you a dedication..)
