Before, Forever felt like a curse. Now, it feels like a promise.

Bacon.

That was the first thing I smelled when I woke up. I shifted myself up using my elbows. The curtains were drawn making the room I was in seem darker. I reached for my phone and read the time.It was just half past seven. My class starts at noon and I was up way too early.

"Only you can wake me up at this hour,bacon."  I mumbled to myself.

I threw the black duvet I was under to the side and jumped out of the King-sized bed.It was the first day of the project and my second time sleeping here at Chase Forrest's house. Yep. I was in Chase's house. Yesterday after driving off the pizza place and merely escaping an awkward situation with Red and Chelsea, I led myself into another awkward situation but this time, with Chase. Chase told me that he'd change rule number three—no physical contact— in exchange for me changing one other rule— staying at his house instead of mine-He said that while caressing my cheek. Ironic right? I immediately felt tingles running up my spines the moment his palm touched my skin making me stiffen. When he noticed my state, he pulled his hand back and laughed it off saying that I should try not to make it obvious that his 'sexiness' is making me nervous.

He suggested that I sleep at his house starting that night. I agreed mainly because Red might go to my apartment and I really don't want to see him yet. We just made a quick visit to pack some of my stuff.

I grabbed a pair of shirt and loose shorts from the bag I packed the night before then went inside the connecting restroom to take a shower and fix myself. When I felt like I was human again, I went back to my room. My phone was blinking indicating a text message. I was hesitant to read it at first. What if its from Red?He and I haven't spoken to each other yet after the awkward thing that happened at the restaurant. I'd like to keep it that way for a while. I'm still kinda hurt of the fact that he already has a girlfriend. Worst, his girlfriend is a walking milkshake. She brings all the boys to the yard. In her case, to her front.

I reached for my phone on the desk. I squinted my eyes so I could only see a portion of the screen.

Chase Forrest

I sighed in relief. Seeing that the text message was not from Red, I opened it. "Breakfast's ready. Come down if you're hungry."

I am kinda hungry. No, scratch that. I AM STARVING. I didn't really eat much last night. When we arrived here, I didn't have an appetite so I initially wanted to head to bed but Chase forced me into eating granola bars and fruits because he said he will not stop bothering me if I went to bed without eating anything. Now, I am so hungry I could eat the whole Mcdonalds. I checked myself in the mirror once more then proceeded outside of the room I slept at.

Now that I'm fully aware of my surrounding and not sick and groggy like the last time I was here, I noticed that the house was incredulously big. The whole floor was carpeted red and there are four levels. I was in the second level and there are a total of six rooms here; three rooms to the left and three to the right. I came from the middle room to the left. I wonder where Chase is sleeping at. Going down the stairs, I also noticed picture frames hanging on the wall. I debated whether I should look at the pictures or not, I might get a little glimpse of Chase's childhood.I stayed there for seconds arguing with myself but decided that I should not be a creep and look at them so I strutted to the kitchen, proud that I did the right thing.
