"Oh shit! Sorry, I just came here to ask you something Kayla" she says and I can tell that she's fighting so hard to hold back a hysteric laughter. "But, I can see that you two are busy, so..."

"We're not" Shane snaps and starts heading out of the room.

"So, you like Kayla" Cora grins.

"Shut up" he sputters while walking past her and out to the hallway, where he gets out of sight. Cora is standing with her back facing me, but when Shane's out of sight she slowly turns around and face me with the biggest smirk I've ever seen.

"What's up" she giggles and I slap her on the arm.

"Stop it" I laugh. "It's not what it looks like"

"Yeah? So you guys were not full on making out on your bed then? You don't like him at all and he doesn't like you? Okayy"

"Shut up" I laugh and she smiles.

"Seriously though, do you like him? Big, bad Shane Harte?"

"I... I don't know. I'm just really confused right now" I answer. Because, I really am. The day I first met him he was so mean and selfish towards me, well he still is, but something has changed in him. It's not much but something small.

"Well, I really thing you guys would make a GREAT couple" she smirks and I snort.

"Oh, Shane Harte in a relationship? Yeah right"

"Kayla... He might seem like a mean heartbreaker, but if you look closely on the inside he's so much more. His mind may be dark, but maybe he just needs a source of light to open up his heart?" Cora says.

"I can't even think of 'Shane' and 'heart' in the same sentence" I sigh and Cora smiles painfully.

"You know, he was a great person before mother passed. He had straight A's, lots of good friends and never lifted a finger against anyone. The... Incident, it was very traumatic for him"

I can't help but feel bad for him, even though I promised him not to. His soul is scarred for life and that's something that's hard to fix. But, deep down, I know he has a heart. It's still there, I've just got to find it. And I will.

"Anyway, let's go downstairs? I think Isabel is cooking dinner" Cora says and I nod.

Right when I set my feet below the stairs, someone knocks on the door.

"I'll take it" I say, and hear a "thank you" from Isabel in the kitchen. Cora smiles as a thanks as well while walking into the kitchen. Stefan isn't home and Isabel's cooking, so I feel that answering the door is on me.

Stefan... After hearing Shane telling me more about his background, I don't really know how to act around him. I must say, I don't really like the fact that he, only a year after his wife's death, married another woman. He didn't even keep his family's surname for that matter. I don't want to judge too much based on one person's story, but it's not very common that a man remarries only a year after his wife's death...

"Hey" Trevor greets me when I open the door.

"Trevor, hi" I smile.

"I just thought that I would come by since I'm still around. Are you free tonight? I was thinking that maybe we could practise on the duet together"

I'm just about to accept when I feel how someone's walking up incredibly close behind me.

"Hey mate, sorry but Kayla's busy tonight. We're just about to eat dinner" Shane's voice fill my ears and I roll my eyes.

"Oh, but I could-"

"No Trevor, bye bye! Have a great evening" Shane says playfully while shutting the door close right in poor Trevor's face. I turn around and glare at him.

"What the hell Shane?" I sputter and he doesn't answer me but grabs a hold of my arm and starts dragging me into the dark living room. He rushes as quiet as he can into a hallway that appears by the end of the living room, and I don't understand a thing but I do the same.

When we've reached the middle of the dark hallway he presses me against the wall with one hand resting on each side of my head on the wall. His face is dangerously close to mine, his eyes filled with lust.

"I can't stay away from you..." he whispers and kisses me hard but passionately. His lips are soft and dominant while his hands travel down my back sending chills among my spine.

Unsure what to do with my hands, I just wrap them around his neck to make sure that he doesn't stop. I pull slightly in his hair, earning a small groan from him.

His hands search their way under my shirt, feeling every inch of my body. When they reach the middle part of my bra, I freeze slightly but let him continue.

His lips disconnects from mine but he keeps kissing my jawline, down to my ear and on to the neck where he sucks lightly on the skin. He alternates between licking and sucking which gives an incredible feeling, making me moan.

His lips find mine again and his hands carefully squeezes my boobs making me pull a little tighter in his hair. His thumb searches its way under my bra and gently brushes over my nipple, sending vibrations through my stomach.

"Don't... Stop" I moan and he smiles while continuing kissing me. His tongue licks my bottom lip, asking for entrance, and I immediately respond. Our tongues meet and playfully dance with each other while he continues playing with my nipple.

It almost feels like I'm going to explode when he pulls away. Our foreheads rests against each other while I wait for his explanation to his... Rude move.

"We... We have dinner now. Wouldn't want the others to get suspicious" he whispers and I can tell it's hard for him as well. It's crazy, I've never wanted anyone as much as I want him, ever before. He drives me crazy...
