Derek:
Derek burst out laughing at her last comment. "He did say indecent
behavior," he told her still chuckling. "I said the other. On the other
hand....parent are rarely fair when it comes to this sort of thing and their
children." He moved his hands from where she had been holding them and put
his arms around her firmly. He began to kiss her gently at first and then
more deeply, closing his eyes as he did soe and enjoying every moment of it.
If what she said about her father was true then it made sense to make sure
Julia knew how he felt about her. Breaking the kiss he said softly. "I
love you Julia Walker."
