I laid in my bed staring at the canopy above my head practically all night. My bed was huge and I think it was one of those temperpudic mattresses because it was the most comfortable thing I had ever slept on.

I was so tired and I thought I would just fall right to sleep in this comfortable bed but I didn't and there was no way I could.

I tried sleeping on both of my sides, my back, an my stomach. Nothing was working. Around 3 in the morning I decided to quietly find my way to the kitchen and hopefully find some tea.

It took me a good half an hour before I could find the kitchen. As I came around the corner I saw a light and smelt amazing food being cooked. I hadn't realized how hungry I was.

As I entered more of the room I saw the bare back of a very toned guy cooking and dancing to a French song. I had never heard any French music before but it had such a nice upbeat sound yet soothing at the same time.

I stood there for a while not wanting to interrupt and marveled at how well the guy had moved so gracefully and efficiently. I can't cook to save my life so I was always envious of people in the kitchen.

He had finally turned around to grab something out of the refrigerator and noticed me for the first time. We both just stared at one another in amazement and shock.

I was shocked to find that the boy I was envious of two seconds ago was actually the drunken stupid chris!

He looked embarrassed and didn't seem to know what to do.

"uhh I think whatever you're cooking is burning.." I broke the silence first after a couple of minutes.

"crap!" chris ran over to the stove and took what he was cooking off the stove. "it's fine it didn't get burnt" he said inspecting the bacon."why are you down here so early?"he asked finally meeting my gaze.

"I couldn't sleep" I said simply while going to the fridge and taking out some apple juice. "why are you down here?"

"same. I always seem to not be able to fall asleep at his house so I come down here and cook" he said as he started to make an omelet.

"oh" was all I could say as I started to search aimlessly for a cup.

"here" chris wiped his hands off on his boxers and opened a cabinet by the fridge and grabbed me a cup.

"Uh thanks" I said with a slight smile. He actually seems like a kind person. I don't get why parker doesn't like hi-

"so are you just going to stare at me or are you going to leave?" I was cut off by that statement and glared at him.

"you know you don't have to be so rude I didn't do anything to you" he just stared at me and looked like he actually felt bad.

"listen I'm so-"

"it's fine. Don't worry I won't tell anyone that you were down here. Thanks for the cup I guess" I turned on my heels and walked out of the kitchen apple juice in hand and plopped down on the huge sofa in the living room.

I tried turning on the tv but instead I was turning the lights on and off, the fireplace off and on and I even heard the garage door open. These people never have to leave their couch to do anything!

I gave up on watching tv and decided to lay by the fire. I was sipping on my apple juice and I was finally feeling relaxed. I can't believe chris is such an ass! he scowled towards the fire and sipped more of my juice.

"Uh..are you hungry?" I knew it was chris behind me and before I could refuse my stomach betrayed me and growled really loud.

Chris laughed "so I take that as a yes?"

"oh fine give me the damn food!"

"jeez someone gets feisty when she's hungry" he said with another laugh as I turned around and grabbed the food from his hands.

"well are you going to sit down and eat with me or not?" my tone was harsh and uninviting but he still sat next to me in front of the fire.

I took my first bite of the inlets and it amazing! I never thought something so simple could taste so good.

"so do you like it?" chris looked at me with hopeful eyes.

"eh it's alright" I said with a giggle "I'm jut kidding it's soo good!"

"good,I've never cooked for anyone else before" he started eating his own creation with me in front of the fire.

"really? Why?"

"no one knows I can cook" he took another bite and placed his plate on the ground and then leaned back on his arms.

"well you should tell everyone because you are really good!" I said in all honesty. I set my empty plate down and laid on my back staring at the tall ceiling above me.

"yeah my dad thinks it's a girl thing so he would definitely disown me" he seemed sad and I instantly felt angry towards his father who I didn't even know.

"well who cares? You like it don't you?"

"yeah of course but I have to focus on sports to become pro"

"well what do you like more?"

"I love both of them but I'm starting to like sports less and less because my dad is picking me too much"

"why don't you just not listen to your dad any more. I mean I would hate to be pushed so forcefully into something that I don't even want to do" I can't believe that there is so much more to this chris guy than I would have guessed. He seems to have had a hard life.

"yeah but it's not that easy"

"you can do it. I bet that you could go to culinary school and start your own restaurant or something too!" I was excited by my future plans for chris. As I say up and told him this.

He sat up as well and faced me "do you really think that I'm that good?" he asked with his eyes wide.

"yeah I really do" we stared at one another.

chris started to lean across the small gap between us. He inched closer and closer towards me. With only the sound of the fire crackling in the big empty room. And only us in here my skin started to feel hotter and horse as his breath grazed my face.
