A heartfelt laugh left her full lips as he made the comment about being unable to resist talking to her. She pulled herself up from the bed and tilted her head at him. "If I can get you talk to me on your most mopy of days than I guess I can get him to talk to me." She stuck out her tongue playfully to him and nodded, she knew if she ever doubted herself that Peter would be the one to lighten her spirits and soon they were down stairs having dinner with Aunt May. The conversation was nice until Aunt May asked Peter about the fire and Lexi inquired about him being there as well. And suddenly the topic changed to why she was there and she was put in the dog house for not mentioning anything sooner. Thought Peter was nice enough to applaud her bravery, Aunt May was none-to-pleased to hear of her choice but did realize that she'd have to shrug it off sooner or later. At the end of the dinner Lexi helped with the plates drying while Aunt May washed and Peter put them away, and upon leaving she gave Aunt May and hug than Peter, in his ear she whispered, "Thanks for helping me." And with that she gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek. The first one she ever did. With that she climbed into her mom's white jeep wrangler and drove home.

Night time rolled around and her parents were always early people to bed. Lexi had spent most of the evening freshening herself up and making sure she looked okay. Though she pushed through every piece of clothing she had, she stuck with Peter's T-shirt, finding both comfort and confidence in having something of his close by. She could make it through tonight, if tonight was the night he showed up. Oh well it was Saturday, she could sleep in tomorrow. A smile moved across her freshly glossed lips as she took one more look at herself in the mirror. [i]Okay, I'm ready![/i] She gave herself a small mental pep-talk before going to her window. Though she did this all the time, since the roof was hardly at a slant at all, she climbed out the window from her second story room and lifted her toned light weight body with ease up onto the rooftop. Walking over her room she sat down on the cool top and leaned back on her palms. Crossing one long jean covered leg over the other, she looked up at the stars. Her third question was still a mystery to her, but it was bound to arrive at one point or another. Peter had given her the confidence boost she needed to do this and she wasn't going to let him down. But if Spider-Man didn't show up in the next two hours, she was going to go inside and climb into bed. She didn't want to seem that desperate for this... right?
