Caden sleepily rubbed at his eyes as he made his way from his room and towards the bathroom. He opened the door and went to walk in only to stop when he heard a gasp.
He immediately lifted his head, spotting Vicki Donovan who was only in a tight shirt and panties. "O - Oh, my god. I am so sorry. I didn't know you were in here." He said, so quickly that she didn't catch half of what he was saying.
"Sorry, I'm almost - " before she could finish, the door was slammed shut and she raised her eyebrows and laughed slightly. "My brother has a crush on the worlds biggest dork." She shook her head as she continued to brush her teeth.
Caden slowly backed away from the door only to flinch when he ran into Elena. "Are you done in the bathroom?" She asked.
As she went to walk around him, he put both his hands on her shoulders and began to steer her away. "You don't want to go in there. Trust me."
"What are you talking about?" She questioned as she was lead back down the hallway towards her room.
"Trust me." He said again. "Brush teeth later. Get dressed first."
She raised her eyebrows as she was pushed back into her room and he closed the door. He sighed in relief before rubbing his hands down his face. If she saw Vicki in the bathroom, he knew she would have a fit and he was trying his best to keep the arguments between her and Jeremy to a minimum.

"Hey, Aunt Jenna, just curious but do you know what's going on upstairs?" He asked sceptically as he was walked into the kitchen.
"Uh Huh." She nodded her head.
"Oh." He replied, surprised at how calm she was. "Okay, then." He walked over to the cupboard to get a bowl out for his breakfast.
"He could be craftier about it. At least try and sneak her in." Jenna said with a shrug. "Oh, and just so you know, I won't be home for dinner."
There was a teasing smirk on her face and that was when Elena entered the room with a curious expression. She hadn't heard the conversation about Jeremy, only the last part.
"Oh, so you're actually going to do it. You're going to go out with Logan." Elena said teasingly, holding out her hand for the cereal box was Caden was done pouring his out.
"I'm going to show up and torture him. Yes." Jenna said and Caden couldn't help but snort. "What are you laughing about?"
"I'm not laughing." He denied with a wide smile and she gave him a look. "It's just kind of obvious that you're into this guy. You gonna torture him by flirting with him?"
