Chapter 3: Remembering the Past 
                          
Topanga had an excellent memory. This had haunted her, because she remembered everything. Even when she knew the problems it would cause, she could not forget no matter how hard she tried.
                          
The one thing everyone knew about Topanga Lawrence was that she was good. She had never really done anything truly bad. 
                          
Not until one night... 
                          
When she slept with Shawn Hunter.
                          
Shawn Hunter was many things, among those things were hot and a fantastic kisser - You could ask any girl he'd ever kissed.
                          
Sure Topanga and Shawn had kissed before and technically dated but that was to make Cory jealous and for a movie. It was never anything real, until one night. One drunken night.
                          
Topanga and Cory had broken up after she found out that he'd lied to her and kissed Lauren. Soon after, unknown to Cory, she saw him making out with Lauren and she was heart broken. She headed up to the room she'd been sharing with Angela. 
                          
When she walked in she saw Shawn with a bottle of scotch in his hand. She sat down next to him. They sat in silence. She didn't ask what was wrong because she knew he'd tell her when he was ready. He liked that.
                          
"Cory and I broke up. I just saw him making out with Lauren," Topanga stated in an emotionless tone. Shawn didn't say anything, He took another sip of Scotch and passed the bottle to her. She took a huge gulp and winced inside as the strong liquid burned her throat. 
                          
"Angela dumped me. Then she left to go back home. She said I'm not the one for her. She didn't want anything serious. Can you believe that for the very first time I'm the one that wanted seriousness in a relationship."
                          
Topanga passed the bottle back. He took a gulp and handed it back to her. 
                          
"She said all that she wanted was some fun, no feelings involved and I couldn't give it to her." 
                          
They both poured their hearts out and gulp after gulp they downed almost the whole bottle. 
                          
"Angela has no idea how lucky she was to have you. The way you cared for her and the way you treated her. The fact that you want a serious type of relationship." 
                          
"Cory has no idea what he's missing. You're a great girl. Any guy would be lucky to have someone as smart and beautiful and amazing as you. He thinks he's having fun now but you would be the best thing that ever happened to anyone." 
                          
"Really?" Topanga looked at Shawn with wide eyes. "Yeah," He replies with a sloppy smile.
                          
They stare into each other eyes. With the whole bottle of alcohol downed, their inhibitions are set free and they have no sense of what's right and wrong.

They lunge for each other and attack each other's lips. Her hands are in his hair. He picks her up and she's in his lap. His hands are around her waist. 
                          
He slides his tongue across her teeth asking for permission which she immediately gives him. He deepens the kiss and she moans. Their tongues are tangling and bodies pressed again each other. 
                          
They make out for a while.
He stands up and places her gently on the bed before climbing on top of her. He captures her lips one more. Then he moves slowly down kissing her neck, hitting her sweet spot, causing her to moan.
                          
Her hands go up his shirt and she's surprised to know he's been working out. She can tell by his six pack.
                          
He takes off his shirt and his hands go up her shirt. Touching, feeling and exploring causing her to moan in ecstasy. 
                          
Her shirt comes off, then his pants, her pants and underwear, his boxers. And they make love to one another. Multiple times before collapsing in exhaustion next to each other and falling asleep. 
                          
*heated scene end*
                          
When they wake up, their naked bodies are tangled together. They knew what they did was wrong but it felt so good.
                          
They hear a knock at the door. "Topanga, it's Cory. Look I'm really sorry and I love you. Can we talk please? I'm going to wait at the breakfast bar for you." 
                          
"He still loves you. Are you going to get back together with him?" 
                          
"No." 
                          
"We couldn't be together even if we wanted. He's my best friend." 
                          
"I know. But I can't be with him right now."
                          
"Okay. But he can never find out about this." 
                          
"Agreed." 
                          
Shawn starts putting on his clothes and so does Topanga. Once they're fully dressed, he starts walking towards the door. 
                          
"Shawn, before you go, I just want one thing and we will never tell Cory." 
                          
"Anything."
                          
"Kiss me. Just one last time." 
                          
She doesn't wait for a reply. She closes her eyes and he places a soft kiss goodbye on her lips. 
                          
He walks out her room and they both lean against opposite sides of the door and say softly at the same time, "Goodbye Topanga," and "Goodbye Shawn." 

                          
That's the story of how Topanga Lawrence did one bad thing in her life and no one ever found out...
                          
Until now.
