"OMG! Hayden! Your house is huuuuge!" a hand covered my mouth, silencing me, and I found myself looking him right in the eyes. Apparently as I struggled to get the door open he had already gotten out and rounded the car to my side.

"Sh," he hushed me, but seemed amused more than pissed. "I know and now thanks to you, all the whole neighbourhood does too."

I removed his hand and smiled sheepishly. "Oops."

It was way pass midnight and like the last time I was here, not a soul was out the streets. Also as last time, Hayden had parked almost at the same hidden spot, so my car wouldn't be seen from the mansion, and after locking it he tossed me back the keys.

"So," he cleared his throat eying my obviously intoxicated form as I awkwardly caught them before they could fall. "You think you can get in without waking up my whole family?"

I tapped my bottom lip, thoughtfully. "Is it a dare?"

"Don't you-"

"Oh," my grin widened. "So it is a dare." and he snorted.

"Can you or not?"

"Challenge accepted."

I pretended to zip up my lips and throw away the key and Hayden rolled his eyes in return, but he couldn't fool me with that bright yet small smile tugging his lips. My chest lightened at that sight and I almost had a heart failure when then one of his arm snaked around my waist, his hand casually lying on my hip, to pull me closer and made sure I walked straight.

"Come on, sweetheart." he mumbled, leading the same way we've already made a couple of weeks ago, only this time it was him dragging me and not the other way around.

The guard let us through immediately, sending me a slight nod in recognition. Drake, I thought was his name. I happily waved him, maybe more cheerful than requested, but besides a small perked of his brows he didn't comment on it and gave Hayden a polite and respectful greeting... Which he didn't return, of course.

I sighed in disapproval and he shot me a weird glance, but when I silently gestured the guard with my head he only shrugged, opening the mansion's front door. Such a sunshine, I shook my head, wondering if all the Walkers were this bright and how lovely would be to work daily for them.

As if sensing my thoughts, his thumb gently grazed the small skin between my jeans and the hem of my top, creating goosebumps everywhere and my heartbeat became crazy as he kept leading me forward and I was almost sure he could feel it. It was echoing on each wall of that fucking mansion. I stumbled with my heels 'cause I was too busy admiring the enormous house and nearly met the very-expensive-looking carpet.

"Quiet." he hissed letting me go to softly close the door.

I nodded like crazy. Bad idea, now I was dizzy. He gave me a pointed look. To prevent myself from messing everything up, I stopped and bent to take my shoes off so I wasn't so noisy. Wrong again, 'cause somehow I managed to throw everything off the table where I held myself. I froze at the scandalous noise and Hayden cursed.

Suddenly the floor wasn't on my feet anymore and I found myself being carried fast up the stairs. I had to force my eyes shut not to get even more queasy with the sudden movement. I held on Hayden's neck who was now bolting through an empty, dark hallway 'till he entered in a room slightly more familiar.

"What the hell, Arielle? Do you really have to be so loud?"

He closed the door with one foot and gently let me back on the ground. But my legs apparently decided to betray me and I fell backwards, landing on the edge of the bed. The mattress shook under my weight and I couldn't help crazy giggling.
