I went downstairs to the kitchen where Tristan was seated eating Cheerios cereal. I took a bowl from the cupboard and poured myself a bowl. Tristan seems to be avoiding eye contact with me.

"Melissa came to look for you yesterday," I mutter. Tristan furrowed his eyebrows and took the last bite of his cereal.

"What if I didn't want to be found?"

"I don't know" I mumbled.

"It was a rhetorical question", anyway I heard that she fell in the pool, I should have been there, he chuckles.

"Right I died with laughter". Tristan glances at me a few times until I got up from the table and made my way over to the sink. I started to clean the dishes until I felt Tistan breathing down my neck.

"Would you like me to help," he asked.

"No I am all good," I say.

The dishes were all clean and then I went into the living room where I saw Tristan watching a movie.

"What movie is that?" I ask curiously.

"The vampire diaries". He responds not taking his eyes off the tv.

"Is it good? Even though I thought you we're more interested in watching romance movies, not the vampire ones" I said.

"What can I say vampire movies are are the best. And the sex scenes are incredible," He says.

"Hey, why don't we go upstairs so we could have our tutor session?" I said.

"Shit," Tristan speaks out in an loud tone.

"I totally forgot that I asked you to tutor me a week ago, so just give me a moment to grab a snack maybe some popcorn. Would you like some?

"Yes, I would like some thank you very much," I said excitedly.

I was going upstairs to my room when I felt Tristan grabbing me and throwing me over his shoulder. He starts to tickle me and I let out a weird laugh. "Tristan Put me down'', I shout. ''Never'' he says.

20 minutes later.

Tristan and I have been studying for twenty minutes now and I have to say it's was going quite well. "You are great at tutoring did you know that," Tristan says with a smirk on his face. "Oh really, on a scale of one to ten how good am I at it".

"Probably an eleven, he grins."

"Let's eat some of that popcorn shall we, all this work made me feel hungry, I said with a groan."

Sure, he hands me the bag of popcorn. "So" Tristan sigh without finishing his sentence.

"So what," I ask Tristan

He didn't answer my question and instead moved closer to me on my bed and touches my leg. His touch sent shivers to my spine but I was trying hard not to react.

"What are you doing," I ask furrowing my eyebrow.

"I taught we went over this, You are staying here with us because of our parent's strong friendship nothing more."

"And if you think you can use me like Melissa you've got another thing coming."

"It's just that-"

He got cut off by the doorbell out front before he could finish his sentence.

"I will go see who is at the door he says."Sure I need to take a pee I will be back."

I went downstairs to see who was at the door. Who is it Tristen? I went to see Jaxon and Tristan awkwardly standing and looking at each other. There seems to be some tension between them.
