I chuckled darkly. "That's reassuring, well if your room-mate ends up being a orange, just come crying to me, babes," I grinned and tussled her hair. She squirmed in surprise - then smiled - then tried to hide it. "What makes you think I'll be crying?" She smiled playfully - A whole side of her she'd been keeping from me through the entire conversation.

He laughed. "I was just suggesting"He smiled reassuringly."Well if Shad is picking on you then you can come crying to me"I smiled back at him.We laughed together for what seemed like a couple of seconds."What time is it"I asked curiously."Em eight thirty. Why?"He asked. Crap I promised my dad I would call him at eight o'clock. Its the only contact we have nowadays."It doesn't matter"I replied upset that I missed the call.

I rolled my eyes at her weak lie. "You know, if you're going to be a master criminal one day then you're going to have to learn to lie better than that." I told her. She barely smiled and kept walking. I sighed and stepped in front of her, grabbing her by the waist and holding her in place. "What is it? Please don't lie."

He grabbed my waist as if to hold m in place. I was getting really uncomfortable. I really didn't want to tell him, but I figured the sooner I told him something he would let go."I was just expecting a phone call, its really nothing"I explained."Any old boyfriend I should know about?"He laughed. I just sighed not really paying attention to what he was saying.

She sighed and pushed past me, as if she was irritated. I suddenly regretted my forwardness very much; I didn't want her to be annoyed with me. "I'm sorry," I apologized, walking beside her and being very careful not to touch her, not even slightly. "I meant it as a joke, I wasn't trying to be insulting."

I felt really sorry for him, he kept on apologizing trying to figure out what he had done wrong."It's OK"i said when i could get a word past him"Its just been a really long day"I sighed.He looked relieved for a moment."Are you sure"he asked confirming what what I just said.I began laughing.

Her laughter was just so... Hypnotic. Gawd, I sounded like a stalker. I don't know what made me ask her then, but I did. "Do you have a boyfriend?" I could see she was shell-shocked by my question. So was I. I couldn't believe I had just asked her that. What was I thinking??? But none the less, I stayed standing beside her, waiting anxiously for an answer that would either kill me with rejection, or kill me with the installation of hope.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"[i/] He asked. I was taken back by what he just asked me, and by the expression on his face so was he."No. No I don't"I admitted a little embarrassed never looking at him. I could feel his eyes burning through my back. I turned around and gave him a week smile and his whole face lit up.

"Good," I grinned, absolutely delighted, I had no competition. Did that mean I was staking my claim on her? Did that mean I wanted her to want me? Did I? My heart was light with happiness. Then I acted on an impulse - exactly the same impulse that possessed me to ask her her relationship status. I leaned down and kissed her cheek swiftly and, to be honest, cheekily.

He leaned down and gently kissed me on my cheek. I was shocked. He smiled triumphantly at me, and I smiled back my shy and nervous smile.I could tell that he was trying not to laugh at the bright and permanent scarlet rising to me cheeks and the stunned expression written all over my face.

I smiled, lighthearted, "Good." I was glad that she was single, but honestly, what was wrong with me? She probably thought I was a right idiot. I probably was. "Sorry," I muttered, but I wasn't, "I shouldn't have done that," But I was glad I did, "I'll be better next time," But I knew I wouldn't be.

I smiled at his lame attempt of an apology. We finally reached the cafe."I'm guessing it's four coffees?"He asked."Em no"I replied"Its three coffees and one tea"He stared at me in disbelief. How come everyone did that when I said I didn't like tea?"Ok I'll be back in a minute"He said as he went to order.He came back a couple of minutes later with our tea and coffees. I took a sip of my tea and had to force myself to swallow.They began laughing at my expression."I don't know what this is but it ain't tea"I said.They laughed some more.

She made a face of disgust as she threw her tea in the bin. We all laughed. "Don't you like coffee?" I asked her innocently. She crinkled her nose. I wanted to ask her to come to our gig, but I was afraid it would sound like I was asking her out. And I had been forward enough for one day. Will did it for me, "Laina, I just realized you never heard our band play. We have a gig this saturday, wanna' come, da'aling?"

"Sure"I said too enthusiastically. I blushed again. I wish that just for once that I wouldn't blush every time I answered a question, was referred to when someone answered a question or even asked a question. Dain seemed to smile at my enthusiasm.

I tried to hide my smile, but the corners of my lips twitched upwards. I liked her blush. Then Willow exclaimed, "Let's go swimming!" It was nothing to me or Chaddy: Willow's empowering love of the water was something one grew accustomed to. I hoped Elaina would enjoy it too. I turned only to see her blushing again.
