"Does this mean were officially going out?" Amber asked Danny.
"It most certainly does, beautiful" Danny replied. Amber and Danny had spent the last hour making out on Danny's bed and both were tired and still a little more than drunk. "Do you want to stay the night?" Danny asked.
"Yes, I would love that, but first where is your computer? I can't wait to change my facebook status!" Amber said excitedly jumping off the bed and looking around.
"I didn't bring it, were on vacation!" Danny said.
"What do you mean you didn't bring it? Who takes a vacation from facebook?!" Amber said.
"I do!" Danny said laughing at Ambers flabbergasted face. "And you should to, you cant get caught up in that junk, it deters from human to human contact and really making friends and getting to know people." Danny replied.
"That's it! relationship canceled!" Amber said, holding in her smile.
Danny's mouth dropped. Holding that smile in just got harder for Amber, his face was priceless. "Are you serious?! You would dump me because I don't like facebook?!" Danny asked.
"No! Im only kidding! It was so worth it because your face just then was awesome! I got you Danny Sinclair!" Amber said in a giggle.
"That was not very funny Amber Barnett." Danny said as he stood up from the bed and walked over to where she was standing and kissed her.

"Amber, What's this I hear about you not sleeping in your room last night?" Sheela Barnett asked her daughter at the breakfast table.
Amber choked on a piece of toast and then glared at her guilty looking sister, "Rose! What the fuck?!" Amber said.
"Im sorry, she already knew, I just confirmed it. Im really sorry." Rose said.
"Don't be mad at your sister, she was where she was supposed to be last night, unlike you! Where were you?! Don't make me ask you again young lady!" Sheela said with a little more anger in her tone.
"Yea, but was she alone?" Amber whispered under her breath so no one could hear.
"What was that?" Sheela said.
"I said I was with someone." Amber, not daring to look her mother in the eyes. Sheela Barnett had this "no dating until your 33 policy. She had a stupid idea that she could keep her children innocent for as long as possible and it would be better for them in the long run. She didn't want her children growing up 'til SHE was ready to let them go and in Sheela's mind that was NEVER!
"What do you mean you were with someone? Who? Do I know this person? Was it a boy?" Sheela asked.
"His name is Danny, you don't know him, but you've heard of him, his dad created that new computer software, wolverine, and yes it's a boy!" Amber replied, still looking at her hands in her lap. She had done the damage no sense in denying it she would have tried to keep from telling her mother about Danny for as long as possible, like after they got married or something, Amber thought jokingly, but her mom knew now and there was nothing she could do, but take her punishment. Then her mom did something completely unexpected. She politely slid her chair from under the table and walked away. "Uh oh" Amber thought, "She's gonna send me to a convent, I can feel it!"
"Well that was awkward!" Lucille Barnett said interrupting Ambers thoughts.
"Grandma, Im sorry did we wake you?" Amber said.
"You don't have to be sorry, its your mom that has to be sorry and me. Im sorry dear to put you through this. I can only imagine how you feel. This is your first boyfriend and your already 19! I cant believe it took you so long to finally defy your her. You're a good child, Seems like these two have been slowly doing it for awhile now." Lucille said with a laugh.
"That's not true" Jordan chimed in.
"Oh shut up boy, its true and you know it!" Lucille replied.
"Granny you have to talk to her, she's crazy! She is probably on hold for the Pope now getting ready to send me to a convent, you know how she is" Amber pleaded.
"Ok Dear, I will do my best to make her see reason, this is my fault, I will take care of it." Lucille said walking away toward the direction her daughter went just a few minutes ago. Amber, Rose and Jordan all exchanged confused looks.
"What does grandma mean her fault?" Rose asked.
"I don't know, lets go listen at the door!" Jordan said.
"No, you don't, get back here! Were getting the hell out of here before they come back." Amber said.

"So, my mom knows about us and that I spent the night in your room last night?" Amber said while sulking in her soup at lunch.
"Oh, how? Did you tell her or Jordan?" Danny asked.
