She waited a bit anxiously to see whether or not she was going to have an angry or jealous girlfriend to contend with having been found out to stay over night in this house with her boyfriend. She looked at Derek curiously and when he answered her she nodded her head at him, and swallowed thickly. No girlfriend. Why she was glad to she wasn't sure but the fact remained that she was.<strong>"Oh. Okay. Don't you get lonely? You've really never had a girl friend? I find that hard to believe."</strong>She smiled at him and shrugged her shoulder at him.<br/><br/>His arms went around her and she sighed contentedly and wondered where it had come from and blushed, heat rising to her cheeks.<strong>"Now I'm warming up,"</strong>she replied quietly. Her arms lifted a bit hesitantly and went around his waist.<strong>"You're a nice man, Derek. Thank you for not letting me freeze to death."</strong>She lifted her face towards him and smiled.<strong>"Are you warming up?"</strong>she asked softly. Bri wasn't nearly as afraid as she had been moments before.
