This chapter has flashbacks. If you see stuff in Italics it's what he said (in the flashback) and if it's in Italics and in Bold it's what she said (in the flashback). Enjoy!

Secret

Her hair was in his face. It was on the pillow. It was everywhere.

It was in between his fingers as he silently played with it while she slept.

"We should do that again?"

Light shown into the room as she stirred in his arms.

"Stop kissing me."

"Why?"

"Um...I...just...stop!"

"Why?"

"I...can't...think straight."

"Good."

He wasn't sure how they'd gotten there in the first place.

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes."

It seemed like just yesterday he was fighting for her attention and then ignoring her and now she was sleeping in his arms.

"Can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"What are we?"

"Well. I'm completely infatuated with you and you can't keep you hands off my sexy body."

He loved watching her sleep. Or watching her do homework. Or smile, or do anything. She was so cute.

"So?"

"So what?"

"What are we?"

"We, Hunter Chatter, can be anything you want to be."

"Oh."

He felt so lucky to have her. Not just have her but have her in his arms. Even if it had taken a lot of convincing to get her to sleep over.

"I said no."

"No means yes and yes means yes. So...yes?"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"It's weird."

"Is it?"

"Yes!"

"Aha, you said yes!"

*groans*

"Please, just this once." *begging*

"Fine. Just this once."

It took him weeks to convince her to stay one night, but it was all worth because now she slept in his arms every night.

"Hey, Hunter." He whispered. "Do you want to hear a secret?"

She stayed asleep.

"You're the best thing that ever happened to me..." he paused for a second but then continued deciding that if he didn't say it then he never would.

"I love you."
