To say the least Kai's date with Murphy was very awkward, he kept trying to get her to drink some beers with him. By now Kai should've known to stop talking with Murphy but she liked him, she liked the way he lived on the edge and didn't give a shit about what people thought. But at the same time in the back of her mind she knew it was going to be a mistake to stay with him.

The girl laid on her bed sleeping peacefully when her eyes fluttered open, she looked around slightly confused when she realized she wasn't in her room.

Kai looked up realizing that Murphy was sleeping soundly while she laid her head on his chest. A small smile appeared on the girls face, they hadn't had sex or anything which was one of the things that Kai liked most about Murphy he didn't expect her to do those type of things not yet at least.

"Morning." Murphy mumbled, god his morning voice made Kai's stomach do flips. "Hey." Kai smiled softly as Murphy began running his hands through the girls hair.

Kai looked up at the boy before her eyebrows furrowed. "I didn't drink anything did I?" The girl asked a slight nervous tone in her voice.

"Nah you insisted since I was too drunk to drive." Murphy explained as he sat up going to grab his shirt. "What you doing today?"

"It's my day off but when I'm off working at the shop I'm working at that bar we went to the other day." Kai explained as she watched Murphy put his clothes on, a soft smile appeared on her face as she looked around at all of the posters and things around the boys room.

"So you spend the little free time you have with me?" Murphy said a smug look on his face as he leaned over to the girl placing a small kiss on her lips.

Tilly sat in the Gallagher kitchen listening to Fred as he yapped about running from a meth head. "He seemed pretty serious to me." Carl mumbled, "For a meth head, he ran fast." Ian added

"Fuckin' Monica, fuckin' up our lives, even in death." Lip cursed rolling his eyes, "Hey, sh. Don't let Fiona hear you. She'll go ballistic." Ian said rolling his eyes.

"You guys are idiots." Tilly snickered to herself as she fed Franny baby food. "So, how scary was he?" Lip asked in a hushed tone, "was he big? Was he armed?"

Suddenly Debbie spoke up, "Did he know my name?" The girl asked a nervous look on her face. "You know, 'cause we can be pretty fuckin' scary too if we have to. Especially with these psychos." Lip mumbled pointing to Tilly who had baby food on her face from the food Franny threw and Fred who was eating some noodles.

"I wouldn't hurt a fly." Fred remarked an innocent smile on his face. "That's cause you're scared of them." Tilly snicked, wiping the food off of her face.

"Hey has anyone seen Kai?" Tilly suddenly asked realizing she hadn't heard the Milkovich girls sarcastic remarks. "Nah she's been with that blond kid." Freddie mumbled.

Later, Kai had gathered all of her things from Murphy's and made her way back to her home. Only in her attempt to sneak through the window she was met with a mom and dad with disapproving looks on their faces.

"You missed curfew. Not only that you didn't even tell us." Veronica said a stern tone in her voice. Kevin had always been the softer parents when it came to things like this.
