[glow=green,2,300]23 agonizing seconds[/glow]
Jaurez hugged herself as the cold air hit her. She turned to Vanessa and raised a brow as she pushed aside a few bangs in her face.
Vanessa crossed her arms and asked, "Why are you dating Smart Guy?"
Jaurez simply stared for a minute before saying, "Because he's charming...You know how I like my males, Vanessa."
"But Smart Guy?!?" she asked.
This time, Jaurez crossed her arms. The gray jill made a small
humph before asking, "What's wrong with Smart Guy?"
"He's-I-Ugh, it's hard to really explain." Vanessa groaned.
"Vanessa, you've know me for a long time...I won't get mad."
Vanessa fiddled with the rim of her golden hat, but said, "Well...uh, you know Veronica?"
"Oh, yeah, I talked to her earlier."
Vanessa blinked. "You did?"
"Yeah. Personally, I thought they were dating, but she seemed real cool about it."
"Really...?"
Jaurez nodded.
Out of the corner of Vanessa's eye, she noticed Smart Guy had walked out and was now staring at them, ears pricked.
"Yeah, said she didn't care or anything-"
Smart Guy turned and headed home. He didn't want to hear anymore.

Veronica could feel the frustration build up inside her. She hated this. This pain...
As a knock came to her door, the she-wolf pricked her ears and quickly wiped away her warm tears before opening the door.
The very weasel she had been thinking about stared at her with chocolate eyes.
"Aren't you suppose to be on your date?" she asked, no longer able to hide the venom.
He flinched. "I heard you don't care about me."
"You told you that?" she asked, letting a grow out.
"No one you need to concern your self about."
The she-wolf was about to slam the door in his face, but he quickly let himself in.
"Is that really how you feel?" he asked.
"Get out, Lander."
"Answer the question."
Veronica only growled as she got her coat. Smart Guy cocked a brow as he asked, "Where you going?"
"Away from you!" she growled.
"All I asked is to know how you feel."
Veronica's hand froze at the knob. The coldness of it never pleased her, but she didn't notice. Her eyes became dazed as she tried to find something to say...
"I...."
She felt a hand on her shoulder and she soon had to look at him. Her amber eyes simply stared into his...
One....two...three...
Seconds passed and all she did was stare. Stare as those agonizing seconds passed...
Twenty...twenty-one...twenty-two...twenty-three...
She quickly leaned over, a deep blush on her face, as she kissed it. Time froze as her arms wrapped around his neck while his rested on her back.
After a moment, she parted and, tears falling down her face, said, "I...I'm sorry...."
"Wha?" he asked, still dazed.
"I...I can't...I still need time, Smart Guy...."
As sudden anger came to her from her answer, she open the door and ran out.
She didn't look back and locked out all sound as she ran. Tears fell down her face and she had forgotten the one virus she gotten years ago that made her like a human that could die so easily....
And she didn't hear the horn...or see the lights.........
