I twirl around in the mirror, admiring the way Candy had dressed me. My long blond hair, was now curled, and placed to the side of my head.

I was wearing a short flowy shirt that came down mid stomach making me appear skinnier. Also a pair of shorts that had lace gathering the front, looking very a-okay.

I paired my outfit with a pair of my white vans and a few necklaces i had gotten from forever 21.

"Hey Candy, i feel so pretty!" I squirmed laughing as i continued to twirl around in front of my body length mirror. 

"I told you I am the beauty wizard!" Victory lingered in her voice as she responded.

"Yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before." I dragged out the word all because she has said the exact same thing to me a billion time. 'I'm a beauty wizard!' . 

She hopped off my bed and stood next to me, smiling brightly. "Now shane will never be able to take his eyes off you the entire time you stay at his place!" I laughed throwing my hands up in mock surrender.

"I have to tell you, i don't think that will be a problem, either way." I said sticking my tounge out at her.

"And why would that be?" She asked wriggling her eyebrows.

"Uh-uh, we may have both admitting to liking each other yesterday.." I slowly trailed off, knowing she was about to squeal with excitement. 

And i may be 100% correct. "OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS? SHANE DUKE LIKES MY BEST FRIEND? I THINK I MAY FAINT!" She gasped, dramatically placing her hand over her forehead falling to the ground. 

"Oh please. Stop being so overly dramatic." I quickly grabbed her limbs and placed her feet down on the floor.

"I'm not dramatic! If anything You're the dramatic one!" She squealed.

I grabbed my duffel bag, and began packing for my two week stay at Shane's house. "Honey, I'm not the dramatic one. You are." I pointed at her accusingly. 

"Am not!" She stomped her foot, and wrapped her arms around her chest.

"Okay... What ever helps you sleep at night." I reminded.

"Yeah yeah. You should be going. Come on, i'll drive you." She smiled sweetly.

I nodded, and headed towards the door, and kissed my parents bye.

_-_-_-_-_-_

We pulled in front of his house, gaping at how huge it is.

I felt a lite nudge on my shoulder, and turned around to see Candy smiling wickedly. "You got yourself a man, not any man, but a rich man." She wriggled her eyebrows furiously.

"Oh my god! Stop it!" I hit her arm playfully. "Lets go in, shall we?" I said sarcastically, trying to change the subject.

She nodded, and walked me up to his front door. I hesitantly knocked on the door, waiting for a response.

I was quickly greeted with a smiling Mrs. Duke. "Oh hello sweetie! I'm Mrs. Duke. Welcome to our home. Im so glad you will be staying with us!" She extended an arm out for me to shake.

I shook it, and walked in to the fawyer, with candy walking back to her car, smiling foolishly.

"You can go on upstairs, and your room for your stay is the third door on the left. Im sure Shane wouldnt mind helping you unpack." She smiled widely and gestured for me to go upstairs.

"Okay thanks. You are very kind to me." I smiled and went on my way to the upstairs room, with my huge duffel bag in hand.

I approached the door, and went inside. The room was simple. Nice comforting gray walls, a bed to the far right, and a desk in the corner. It also had a walk in closet, and a bathroom attached. I guess my clothes will be hung then.  I thought to myself.

I started unpacking my blankets to make the room a little more Jessi. I placed my white and pink lacey blanket halfway down the bed, and added my white frilled pillows until the blanket met them.

I was startled by a knock on the door, in front of me. "Hey, its Shane."

Of course it is. "Come in." I replied with a slight smirk plastered on my face.

"Thanks. So whats up?" He answered smiling wide.

"Nothing much, you?"

"Not much. But i do have this new racoon visiting for two weeks."

"Oh my god! Really Shane? Really? I look nothing like a racoon, not even a little resemblence to this beautious face." I said gesturing to my face.

"Okay, sure. Whatever helps you sleep."

I mentally rolled my eyes, "What do you want Shane?"

"Just wanted to say hello to my favorite person ever."

"Shut up. Leave." I gestured to the door.

"Okay. Okay. Fiesty!" He nibbled his lower lip, and left.

I finished unpacking and headed downstairs for dinner.

I was soon welcomed with the delightful smell of spaghetti and meat balls. "Mmmm, it smells delicious Mrs. Duke!" I mentioned, making my way to the food, so i can inhale the scent even more.

She laughed behind me, "Well im glad you like it." She laughed once more, "lets take a seat shall we?" She pointed to the table next to us. I nodded and took my seat.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_

I finished my night routine and threw myself onto the bed, exhausted. Unpacking, and pretending to not like shane was really exhausting.

I silently yelled, "Who is it?"

I heard a faint  laugh. "Who do you think it is?" I could sense the smirk plastered onto Shane's lips.

"Okay. What do you want?" 

"To come in." 

"To come in?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Come in."

The door creaked open and revealed a handsome looking Shane in a white tee that fitted to every part of his stomach outlining every muscle. And he had on a pair of grey sweat pants that were really big for him. And his feet were bare, with his hair in a very messy style, only Shane could pull off.

"Done eye raping me yet buttercup?" 

I turned back to his eyes, and simply said, "As if thats what i was doing?" It came out more as a question.

A smirk made its way up to his lips, "Yeah, you were."

A blush crept up to my neck and cheeks, thank goodness the lights were off but a little bit of lighting was in the hallway. I doubt he could see my blush though. Right?  

"Well i just wanted to ask, how long im supposed to act like you annoy the shit out of me, before we can become a thing?" He asked, looking sincere.

"U-uh, i was gonna ask the same thing to you." I smiled sheepishly.

"Well, we can stop the act when ever you want..." He slowly trailed off, running a hand through his brown messy hair. 

I nodded.

A/N: I'm sorry, for yet another short chapter, but i am really tired, and i am kind of stumped on what should happen next. Anyway, if anyone has any good ideas for what should happen next, then please message me your ideas. I always could use a little bit of help on that.
