-Kaydan's P.O.V-



"That's not it either," I whisper stopping the sound with my palm. The sun is shinning brightly against my back as I play my guitar. The rain had stopped hours ago. I look over my shoulder at the sound of the bed moving and spot Christian staring at me. I put my guitar on the floor and smile. "'Morning," I exclaim turning to face him completely.

"'Morning," he responds scratching the back of his neck and taking off the headphones. "...Thanks for last night."

My smile widens. "It was no big deal."

He looks away from me. "...It was."

"I have decided on something," I continue.

He returns his gaze to me.

"If it's alright with you...I'd like to try to make you happy," I finish with the utmost confidence.

His face slowly emits a red glow.

Is he blushing...that's not possible...is it?

He continues to stare at me like a deer in headlights.

"Geez," I say covering my face with one hand, "I swear you keep getting cuter." I finish in a low whisper.

In a second he's on top of me with my shoulders pinned to the bed wearing a serious expression."You realize what you just said, right? Whatever happens after this point, you're taking responsibility for." He leans closer to me. "Don't blame me at the times you can't stand for weeks." He sits back up and stares down at me.

I can't find words.

His facial expression softens as he climbs off of me and stands up with a smile. "I'm using your shower," he finishes stepping into my bathroom. "Bring me some clothes." With that the door is shut.

I take a deep breath. What did I just sign myself up for? I look over to my clock. It's almost 2. I guess I'm not going to work, and he's not going to school. I should at least call Luke. I grab my phone and call him. "Hey," I say when he answers.

"I'm guessing you're both awake."

"Yup."

"Good. This won't be terribly awkward then."

"...What are you-" I'm interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Luke," I say firmly.

"Kaydan," he mocks for a laugh.

I don't respond.

"Kaydan, it's me. Open the door," I hear Kyle's voice.

"Luke!" I whisper yell, "Kyle is here!"

"I know. Go open the door."

"But-"

"Kaydan? Are you in there?"

I sigh deeply hanging up. "I'm coming." I shut the door to my room and open my front door.

Kyle leaps in and wraps me in a hug. "I'm so glad to see that you're doing well!"

"Good as new!" I respond hugging him back nervously.

"I-I...We brought you something."

"O-Oh, you didn't have to," I laugh not really understanding.

"Yes we did," Luke joins walking through the door. "We made you a rug!"
