Secrets. (Asa Butterfield Sequel to 'Changes')

"Danielle?" We heard Christie call. We had forgotten all about the poor child because she had been so quiet.

"Yess?!" Danielle called, back rolling her eyes. Christie didn't reply.

"WHATTT?!" She called again. Still no answer. She got up angrily and walked into the living room. I walked after her, and saw Christie asleep on the couch.

"Aww, poor baby! She was tired!" I said, going over and patting her back. The sippy cup was still in her mouth, so I gently took it out. Danielle came over and picked her up.

"I think we needa go home now, let this little lady sleep." She said, rubbing Christie's back up and down.

"Yup, I think you do," We walked back into the kitchen and Asa and Aramis where having a heated conversation about something.

"Hello?" I said, after a minute of them not realising we where there. They turned around quickly and faced us.

"Oh! Hello..." Asa said, awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. I shook my head.

"Aramis, we needa go home." Danielle said, struggling with the toddler in her arms.

"Christie? I didn't even know she was here!" Asa whispered, trying not to wake her.

"Yup, she is. Aramis can you carry her?" Danielle added impatiently, nearly dropping her.

"Sure," He came over and took her. Danielle shook her arms out, and gave me a hug, then Asa.

"Bye guys, thanks for having us!" Aramis called. I went to the door, and let them out.

"Bye!" I called, before shutting the door. I went into the living room and switched the T.V off, then walked back to the kitchen where Asa was making some coffee.

"Do you want any?" He asked, pouring the water into the cup. I gave it a second look.

"Asa.., have you looked at the cup yet!" I said, bursting out laughing, because it was my One Direction cup.

"Oh Jesus Christ," He said, picking it up and inspecting it. I giggled. "Do you want this one?" He added.

"Yeah, may as well." I said, hoisting myself to sit on the counter.

"Do you want to know what me and Aramis where talking about?" Asa asked, getting out a new, more suitable cup for himself.

"Uh-huh, yes please!" I said, swinging my legs.

"Well, he was thinking of proposing to Danielle!" I squealed.

"Aww really! How SWEET!" I said, clapping and getting down off the counter to do a happy dance. Asa watched me nervously. I started to get confused.

"Yes?" I said, calming down.

He shook his head quickly. "Nothing, nothing." That's when I first knew he was up to something.
