H;)w To Flirt

H;)w To Flirt: Five

I stood in Cole's door frame and watched as he got the extra bed set up for me.

"Well, are you coming in?" Cole asked, sounding irritated.

"I don't want to be executed..." I started, eyeing the sign on his door.

Cole rolled his eyes, that doesn't apply to you, idiot."

"Gee thanks" I muttered.

Cautiously, I made my way over to my bed. Seeing as I didn't have anything else, it looked like I was sleeping in my clothes. I sighed and pulled my hair up into a ponytail before crawling into bed.

"Get up" Cole ordered.

"What, why? Seriously Cole, I just want to go to bed" I whined.

"You cant sleep in that. Don't you have pajamas?" he asked.

"I didn't exactly have time to grab anything from my house as I stormed out the door" I sighed.

"Well, go see if you can borrow something from Ashton."

"Why do you care so much Cole?"

"I just happen to know that it's unhealthy for your skin to sleep in clothes. Now, go talk to Ashton."

I heaved a dramatic sigh, "fine, whatever!"

I headed up the stairs past the front hall, living room and kitchen. Finally, at the top level of the fourth staircase, I found a hallway full of doors. One thing was for sure, I was going to get a lot of exercise from all these stairs. Not knowing which room was Ashton's, I decided with a grin that I would just try all of them. I banged a rhythm down along all four doors as I made my way down the hall. Soon enough, each door had a head poking out of it.

"Hey beautiful" Brody started.

"What's up?" Tyson finished.

"I was actually just trying to find Ashton's room" I replied sheepishly.

I heard Ashton's familiar laugh, "what's up Dan?"

"I was wondering if I could borrow some pajamas../ "I gave him a hopeful look.

Ashton laughed and shook his head, " sure, and you can change in here too if you want."

"Awe, come on!" Jock complained.

I rolled my eyes, "thanks Ash, I think I'll take you up on that."

I followed Ashton into his room and watched him rummage through his drawers.

Finally, he pulled away holding a package and a t-shirt, "here, best I have are some unopened boxers and a tee."

I laughed, "thanks."

Ashton sat down and started flipping through a magazine while I put them on. I smiled down at the shirt as I read it, 'Kelldon Varsity Soccer.' I remembered how excited Ashton had been when he made the team. Suddenly, something occurred to me...

"Ash, what am I going to do on Monday? I can't go back to school at Fredrikton... Stacey works there."

Ashton furrowed his eyebrows, "oh yeah... Well look, after I moved out of my parentals place, I got pretty close to the principal and the guidance counsellor. So, tomorrow, while you're at work, I'll go sort out with them about you enrolling at Kelldon."

"Thanks Ash" I smiled, "well, I'm off to bed."

I waved goodbye to Ashton before making my way back downstairs, my clothes balled up in my hands. I got to Cole's room and was about to just walk in when I thought better of it and knocked. When no one answered I just shrugged and went inside. Dumping my clothes in a pile on the floor, I made my way over to my bed and crawled under the blankets. I was about to snuggle in when a door that I had originally thought was a closet swung open. In a cloud of steam, Cole emerged from what I now realized was a bathroom with nothing but a towel hanging off his waist.

"It's not polite to stare" Cole muttered.

I couldn't help the way my eyes travelled up his body before settling on his face.

Feeling slightly brain dead, the best retort I could come up with was, "whatever."

With that, I rolled over so that my ack was to Cole and snuggled under the covers. I was asleep before Cole even got around to turning the light off.

When I woke up the next morning it took me a few seconds to figure out where I even was. The second I did though, a feeling of uneasiness set in. I peeled my eyes open and smacked my alarm, turning it off. I quickly checked the time and smiled when I saw that Cole hadn't changed my alarm or anything to make me late. That didn't mean he didn't do something else though...

I sat up and stretched, noticing Cole wasn't in bed. My suspicious feeling grew and I decided that I should probably go check myself out in the mirror. I got up and headed over to the closet-bathroom. To my surprise though, when I turned on the lights, the reflection before me had perfectly clean skin and seemingly untouched hair. Shrugging, I flicked the bathroom light off before heading back into the bedroom. Maybe I was wrong to assume that Cole would pull some kind of evil prank on me while I was sleeping. Maybe should just calm down, get dressed and- and that's when it hit me. I rushed forward and searched all around my bed. Where were my clothes?! I tried not to scream in frustration as I dashed up the stairs. To my relief, Jock was sitting on the couch watching t.v. quietly.

"Jock, do you know where Cole is?" I asked.

Jock frowned, "uh, he left about twenty minutes ago. Said something about needing to dispose of some stuff."

My eyes widened, "Oh my god, that jerk!"

"What's wrong?"

"He stole my clothes! They were the only ones I had and I have to be at work in twenty minutes!"

Jock sat for a moment, frowning as if deep in thought, before slowly smiling, "what are the dress code requirements where you work?"

"I work as a waitress at the Star-bangle Cafe. Basically, as long as it's black and appropriate, then I'm good" I replied.

"In that case, I have an idea" he grinned.
