After it got dark, we dried off and went inside. I found out that there are two kitchens. I like this one better.

He stands at the stove, cooking something. He won't tell me what it is, but it sure does smell good. I'm sitting on the island counter.

"What are you making?!" I ask for the 70 million time.

"You'll see." He says calmly. He turns the stove off and gets plates. "Go sit at the table." He says. He's back to the beast.

"Okay." I say. I run and jump into the chair. I'm bouncing when he sets the food down. I'm still in my bathing suit with the cover up on. He's wearing a shirt and his bathing suit.

"Here." He says setting pancakes down in front of me. I squeal in delight. I hate fancy food. He sits down and I start eating.

"You put strawberries in it!" I say happily. I kiss his cheek and start to eat again. He smiles. Beast is officially gone. But he will come back.

"You like strawberries?" He asks eating his own.

"Yes!" I squeal. He smiles.

When we finish eating, he puts the plates in the sink and takes my hand. He leads me to a dark room with a huge screen and couches. I jump onto one and he sits down next to me.

"What would you like to watch?" He asks in that beast voice

"What would you like to watch?" He asks in that beast voice. I sigh.

"Whatever you want." I say smiling at him.

"Okay." He says. He turns on a random movie, I don't even know what it's called. It's scary though.

I clutch onto his arm when the old woman comes into view. She's all scaly and has black stuff going down her. I scream when she lunges at the girl. I hide my face in him.

"It's all right. This stuff is fake." He whispers in his not beast voice. He strokes my head as I listen to the screaming girl.

Finally it gets to the end and I watch. The girl made it and her mother did too. They are in a physcotic home for people who see things that aren't there.

Nobody believes them. But I know I do.

"Alright. Let's go to bed." Ash says. I get up and he grabs my hand as we walk up the stairs. He stops at his room and pulls me to him. I tilt my head in confusion then I see that he is staring at my lips.

I'm not Comfortable with kissing him just yet but his lips land on mine anyways. I kiss back automatically. He pulls away minutes too soon and tells me goodnight.

I get into my silk pajamas and climb into bed.

I can't sleep. The scary movie is filling my head and scaring the crap out of me. So I get up and walk down the hallway to Ash room.

"Ash." I whisper opening the door. He looks up from his phone and looks at me. "I can't sleep and I'm scared." I say. He scoots over.

"Come lay down and close the door behind you." He whispers. I walk inside and close the door. I climb into bed with him and lay my head on his shoulder.

"Now, tell me why you can't sleep." He says setting his phone down. Beast voice.

"The movie scared me." I say.

"Okay well, now if you get scared, I'll be right here with you." He whispers. Not beast voice. I smile up at him. He smiles at me. Then I close my eyes and try to sleep.

I fall asleep with my breath evening out and fitting with his.
