Tries to talk.

Jeremy stood up as Courtney marched out from the bedroom hallway. She paused and Jeremy gathered his courage up to say something to the girl of his dreams when Courtney talked over, and stepped onto the couch. Jeremy blinked at this action that brought her to almost his height. "What are you..."

"No talking...time for me to show you how I feel. And let the chips fall where they may." Courtney said, her voice tinged in nervousness.

"What do you mean?" Jeremy asked, then Courtney leaped at him. Jeremy caught her by instinct, then felt her soft lips press against his. Taken aback for a second Jeremy didn't react. His senses came back to him, and he kissed her back, holding her tight to him. He heard two palms slap together behind him, and he was aware of his aunt and Sandy Walker cheering from the doorway, but each seemed to be coming from another universe.

Courtney broke the kiss, breathless. "I love you Jeremy Lang. And I know that I'm probably not pretty enough for you, but I want to be in your life as more than a friend. Please?"

"Pretty enough? For me? And here I thought I wasn't smart enough for you!" Jeremy answered. "I would be ecstatic, the happiest man alive if you would stoop to my intelligence level. And as for you not being pretty enough, who in the ever living hell gave you that idea?"

"I...uh...self esteem issues. Anyway...uh..."

Sandy giggled, bringing the others in the room back to Jeremy's consciousness. "You have three options, Jeremy Lang. You can take her into the bed room and give her the ultimate gift by yourselves. Or you can take a couple tips from Kathryn or me. Or you can wait for Jasmine to get to town for a Seminar that Kathryn set up."

"If you wait for the Seminar Sandy and I can make us a great birthday breakfast for Courtney." Kathryn said from beside Sandy, her hand running along Sandy's shorts clad ass.
