It was Friday already and I hadn't seen Treasure or Cedric although they'd texted me saying that they were okay. I'd spent most of my week with William and Grandma arrived on Wednesday just like Mom said.

"Movie night after school?" A familiar voice asked as I put my books away into my locker and I turned around to find William standing behind me.

"Okay, but you'll have to get some ice cream though. I've had enough sodas this week to last me a lifetime."

"Okay, let's get going now." He said and I handed him my purse.
The ride back home was a bit quiet but for song playing on the radio and William's awful singing so I leaned back in my seat to take a nap.

I woke up probably hours later and I was lying on the William's sofa and he was seated right next to me combing his fingers through my hair.
"What happened?" I nudged him in the elbow, "How did I end up on the sofa?"

"You don't remember?" He smirked and I realized he was going to give me a cheeky explanation, "Oh princess, you fell asleep in the car and I didn't want up wake you when we got here so I carried you upstairs, and then I decide to rape you so I just brought you down when I finished."

"Clearly, you wouldn't have the balls to do that."

"Who said I didn't have balls? I can show them to you are right now."he replied, pretending to undo his sweats.

"You wouldn't want me to puke on you now, would you." I grinned, "What's the time anyway?"

"Just 8:30, I ordered pizza which will be here soon."

"I slept for that long?" I playfully hit him in the chest, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Weren't you the one who said that girls needed their beauty sleep? No one want you around if you had to look like a zombie."

I laughed. "You're such a gentleman Mr. Miller."

"Oh yes, that's why the girls love me but not to worry I'm all yours."

I wish that I didn't wish what I was wishing.

"What movie are we watching?" I asked, changing the subject.

"You get to choose since I did the last time."

"Okay."
I stood up and walked over to the farther side of the room where the DVD shelf stood. I looked the various categories and then I picked out one.

"Let's watch something........I don't know, nice maybe?" I say.

"Whatever you say princess." he said in a fake British accent and bowed. I rolled my eyes at his cheesiness.
The doorbell rang just then.
"That's probably the delivery guy." he said and bolted for the door.
"I'll go get plates."

We stayed up watching 'Bloody Mary' instead and then we decided to watch an entire season of 'Full House'.

"The weather's getting really cold." William says glancing outside and rubbing his palms together. "Do I get you a blanket?"

"No, it's probably going to rain. I should go home. I wouldn't want Grandma to get worried."

"You could just stay here you know. I'll be here to keep you warm." He winked.

I felt the color rush to my cheeks. "I would rather be more comfortable under my sheets."

He mumbled something I couldn't quite make out and stood up. "Okay. Later then."

I just nodded to him and walked out the front door. I had just gotten to the bottom of the stairs when I heard William call my name.

"Yes?" I said stopping in my tracks but not turning around to face the person only a few feet away.
