Chapter 1

I finished brushing my teeth, slip on my black spandex along with an oversized burgundy plaid shirt that covers my thighs, and pulled my long blonde hair into a fishtail braid when Sam walks into my room. "Thanks again for letting me stay here while My parents are away" I say while looking into my mirror that's attached to the dresser, Sam responded with a smirk and giggled, "anytime!" I then feel Sam's heat from his chest radiating behind me while I close the dressier full of t shirts. I suddenly feel warm pressure around my waist and on my back as he says, "my friend is coming back tonight from staying with his family so you'll get to meet him." I slowly turn around to find Sam standing about 5 inches from my face, a little to close, I look down to the hard wood floor and rub my arm nervously.

"What?" Sam asked. "Nothing" I shrugged off the question and escaped from his grasp by peeling his hands from my waist. Walking downstairs I hear a car roll up in the gravel, soon after that headlights shine through the darkness outside. "Colby?!" Sam shouts thudding down the stairs and running past me as if he'll hear him from outside. "Colby?" I ask as I reach the bottom of the stairs and sit on the cough in the living room, pulling my ocean blue laptop onto my lap. The door swings open and Sam embraces a brunette with piercing blue eyes which I'm guessing is Colby. Sam is quick to ask "how was your trip?" Colby responds in a husky bone chilling voice, "it was great! I saw my family, and met up with friends!" He stretches then continues, "I do have to say it's even better to see my bro again!"

Our eyes suddenly lock and I freeze realizing I've been staring at them with great intensity. He scans my body then questions, "who's this?" Sam quickly turns around rubbing the back of his neck and says "oh! Right well, this is Erin, she's an old friend and her parents went on a trip to Europe and needed a place to stay for a couple of months so I offered her the guest room." His eyes are still locked on mine as if I'm his prey, cautiously he says, "that's cool, nice to meet you Erin, I'm Colby" I offer a hand to greet him and he shakes it "nice to meet you too" I respond with a smile. Sam notices the hesitation and awkwardness so he clears his throat then walks over to the tv and starts to mess with it. As if I don't exist anymore Colby looses interest and runs upstairs to his room. I release a breath I didn't know I was holding then I was sucked back I I my thoughts, never did I notice that there was a room next to mine, I always thought it was a spare closet.

"So, you wanna watch a movie tonight?" Sam questions. I snap out of my daze and respond with a stern yes. 20 minutes pass and Sam is still fidgeting with the movie, I hear thuds as Colby comes down the stairs in sweats and a tank. He sits in a chair across the room and fixes his gaze on my laptop, "whatcha doing on there Erin?" I look up at him, his eyes are full of curiosity, "it's a-um photo album of my pictures I've captured here, I'm into photography."

Without a warning he gets up and makes his way over to my adjusting his hair and sits so close next to me I can feel his body heat. Colby looks at my photos of bugs, animals, statues, and old houses, "these are great, you'll have to teach me how to do that." His arm slips behind my neck onto the back of the cough, my heart races in my chest, I don't know why but don't all guys do that? "Got it!" Sam pronounced, paranormal activity! He looks back at Colby's arm around me and gives a slight frown, turns off the lights then sits in the lone chair.

The movie begins and I shut my laptop and set it on the coffee table, every inch of the way I feel Colby's stare burning into my back. Halfway through the movie I find myself gasp and latch onto Colby's arm, I feel my eyes widen and pull away hearing Colby chuckle a bit. I hear a deep whisper, "It's cool lean all you want." Feeling a little more at ease my eyelids get heavy and I drift in and out of sleep, then slouch away from Colby onto the empty space next to me. The movie ends and I hear the end credits rolling I'm pretty sure I'm asleep but I hear Colby chuckle "Sam!, look at her!"

Sam giggles and says, "I got her dude-" but with a quick response Colby interrupts, "no it's cool I'll carry her up, you handle that dinosaur tv, I'll break it if I try." I then feel toned bare arms rub against my legs and I'm being carried upstairs. His warmth is almost comforting and I sigh a little. "Click" the light goes on and I flinch, he sets me on my bed and says, "don't worry I got you sleeping beauty" then quietly laughs as he pulls the covers over me. His hand grazes my leg as he pulls the covers up causing more goosebumps to appear. He adjusts the blankets a bit more and I expect him to leave but I can still feel his presence in the room, it's unsettling so I open my eyes a little, I then hear a switch of the lights and the door clicks shut soon after. I'm left in total darkness with my thoughts.
