One month later:

Its been an entire month since the boys got back. An entire month where the only things Jared and I have said to one another was 'good morning' and 'good night'.

It's frustrating not to speak to him but I am just stubborn enough to keep to my promise to not get close to him again.

It's the morning of his birthday and already all I want to do is launch myself all him. Both in a hug and in bed.

I thought the last time I'd have hormones like this was when I was pregnant but they are back and with a vengeance.

The only reason I got up this morning was because Sam was hungry and I've got jobs to do.

The worst part about all this though is that Sam seems to really like Jared. I've caught them together on more than one occasion, whether it be Jared helping him get somewhere, him talking to Sam with him nodding, shaking his head or pointing in answer.

You'd have to be blind not to see that their related but my friends are so oblivious and too consumed by Luke and Nick that they haven't even noticed. But Dad seems to be watching Jared more now and I'm worried he has figured it out or at least suspects.

Mom, Carry and Chase have also made this month hell for me because they take every opportunity to put us closer together. I know what their trying to do and I don't approve.

They just need to learn to butt out of everyone else's business.

I am by the fence untangling and ripping weeds out of the ground.

Jared is further up doing the same and if he was anyone else I would be telling him he shouldn't have to work on his birthday but I know him. He has always liked working around the caravan park and he always said his birthday doesn't really start until 7 pm anyway.

He has a strange way of thinking but that was one of the reasons I love him. I mean loved him.

Not even knowing where that thought came from I suddenly start thinking back to that night we made Sam and it has my hormones rising again.

Without even noticing I finish my work on this side of the fence and I spend the next ten minutes just staring blankly at the wire.

"You okay there?"

I jump up onto my feet and turn to find Chase smirking at me.

I am startled to see him but smile back even though I know nothing good comes with that smirk.

What is he planning?

He gives me a strange look like he can see something is different about me but then his smirk deepens with amusement.

"You're sexually frustrated." He states matter of fact.

I cough as my face goes red and I look around to make sure no one else heard him then turn back to him with a glare.

"No, I'm not." I disagree even though I know he's right.

He laughs then gives me this amused 'really' look.

"Uh-huh, keep telling yourself that but I know you well enough to know that look on your face means you want sex. You need to get laid. Come on, I'll find you a partner." He offers wrapping his arm over my shoulders and we start walking along the fence line.
