The first week of me being in this house has been everything amazing and more. Emma has practically acted as a sister. She's been so kind and caring towards me, and she just is overall there for me at all times.

Jake is like my brother, he's just always there to crack a joke. All the other children have been lovely, all of them minus a certain red head. Olive has not stopped getting in between Enoch and I. Every time she was around, and Enoch and I would even cough at the same time, she would quickly interrupt, bringing up some random subject, drawing Enoch's attention away from me, but I already knew his mind was on me.

Every night, after reset, and before the boys and girls would separate, Enoch would slip into my room secretly, telling Olive he was just going to sleep, so she didn't bother us. It was nice, having some peace and quiet time with him. Getting to know what's inside the beautiful head of his. His mysteriousness practically radiated off of him, I was always curious to know more about him.

Then, once question came to mind. One that had been in my mind the first day, but became blurry over the course of the week, me being so in love with the thought of him, I never had the chance to ask the one question I really wanted to know.

" Enoch, how did you discover your peculiarity? "

He tensed up. I obviously hit a soft spot. " Um, I thought I explained it to you, I did, yeah don't you remember " he said, standing up, fiddling with his fingers. I observed this action, it making me semi-smile, knowing we both shared a nervous tick.

" No, Enoch, calm down " I said, standing up and putting my arm against his back, his breathing erratic. He seemed to calm down at the touch of my hand.

" You really do work wonders don't you " he joked.

I didn't catch on at first, " What do you mean by that " I asked.

" You touched me and ' took away my panicky nature ' " he said, smiling to himself, proud of the joke he had cracked.

I got it and chuckled, " You're such a dork ", playfully pushing him.

" Yeah, but I guess you could say, I'm your dork " he said, his awkward side showing, this side I never really saw, so I giggled.

" Awe, would you listen to that " he teased.

" Oh stop it " I said, my face turning a bright shade of red.

" Why, it's absolutely adorable " he smiled, walking towards me, his body inches away from mine. His right hand came of and grazed the side of my face. " You have really nice cheekbones, I especially like them when I make them turn that beautiful shade of red " he said, smirking.

His words almost felt as if he was placing a spell on me. I soon became lost in a trance if his beautiful eyes, concentrating on how his lips looked as he spoke the magic words that made me swoon. He started to lean in, and my body reflexively did the same.

Our lips, almost connecting, eyes closing, Enoch about to fill the gap, when all of a sudden, the door bursts open.

" Enoch " an all too familiar, annoying voice said, the voice of course belonging to none other then Olive.

We quickly separated, hoping she didn't see what was about to happen, because if she did, she's definitely throw a fit and threaten to actually burn me alive. Luckily for us, she didn't.

" Enoch, I thought you were in your room, you had me worried sick " she said, snuggling up to his side, he clearly became uncomfortable.

" I just came to say goodnight to her, so if you'd let us have like two more minutes, that would be wonderful Olive " he said.

" Okay, I'll meet you upstairs then " she said, smiling at him.

" Yeah, be up soon " he said, and almost like I was reading his mind, I capsule sense he wanted her out, and fast.

" Well, fine " she spoke, shooting me one of her infamous dirty looks, designed especially for me. I chuckled, it not bothering me one bit.

She closed the door, and Enoch made his way back in front of me. " So, I did want to say goodnight, and I think we were about here " he said, his body tightly pressing against mine, his hand found its way to my waist, the other under my jawbone. His fingers traced my jawline, it felt as he was imprinting his fingertips into my skin, marking it as his own with only his fingers. His face inched closer.

My eyes closed. His lips brushed against mine, and like that, he pressed them together, them molding together perfectly, as if they were made for each other. He didn't leave it at a simple kiss however, he kept it going. The hand on my waist, his fingers tightening around my midriff.

Our lips moved together is perfect harmony, like we've done this before, but this all feeling foreign, and wonderful.

He then pulled back, and looked me into the eyes, the hand that was on my jaw, moved upwards, cupping my face. " Goodnight darling " he said.

" Goodnight " I said smirking, he leaned in for one last peck, and walked out, taking one last glance before closing the door, making his way back to his room.

I practically was drunk off the thought of him, that I stumbled back, and fell into one of the nicest sleeps I had ever slept in my entire life.
