I woke up to something holding me down. I felt someone or something breathing on my neck and something tangling with my legs. My eyes shot opened.

I looked down to see a pair of inked arms wrapped protectively around my waist. I let out a breath I hadn't notice I was holding when I saw the chevron tattoos on his forearm. His legs tangled with mine under the sheets.

My cheeks started to get warm as I noticed I was pressed up close to his front. He was in nothing but a pair of boxers. I slowly shifted, trying my best not to wake him. I turned my body so that I was facing his beautiful face. Wait, what. No, no, no. I did not say such thing as that.

His stubbles were starting to get more visible. His lips were parted as soft snores escaped them. My eyes wandered down his toned chest, seeing it had no trace of ink.

"Liking the view?" I blushed fiercely, as I looked away. Was he awake the whole time? "No worries, kitty. It could be our little secret." What?!

"W-what are you--" He started chuckling at my uncomfortableness.

"I'm just kidding." He brought me closer so that my head was resting upon his chest as his chin was rested upon my head.

"It's 5:30 in the morning and it's still dark out." I wonder how he knew if his back is turned towards the window. Oh wait. The mirror.

"This is just trippy." He mumbled in my hair. Who would've thought, that only 4 days ago, we barely talked, and yet now, we were in each other's arms cuddling. I smiled at the thought.

"What are you thinking 'bout?" He rubbed small circles on my waist.

"Nothing."

"Are you lying again?" There was a hint of mischievous in his voice.

"No."

"Liar."

And here we go again. The room echoed with our muffled laughter.

------------------

We both finally got out of bed. Woah, never thought I'd be saying such a thing. I noticed my shirt rising, so I pulled it down. I could feel him pouting, literally.

"Perv." I muttered.

"What was that?" He lifted an eyebrow, challenging me.

"Nothing."

"I'll let you go this time."

I went to the bathroom to wash up a bit, putting my hair up in a messy bun. I finished brushing my teeth and started walking out.

He made his way into the bathroom as I walked out. I couldn't help but eye his torso a bit. I walked towards the kitchen, passing the empty room the occupied my mothers belongings. She didn't come home last night? Or had she left early?

"Mina, did mother come home last night?" I asked the kitchen unit. Yes, every unit in the house was programmed to be named Mina.

"No, she did not. But she did say to tell you that she won't be home today either." Mina's voice came from the oven. You'd think this was weird, but you get used to it after a while.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Key." When I was little I'd always play with the house unit. It was the only 'friend' I had. Mina and I would play hide and seek. She would obviously be doing the counting while I hid in one of her cabinets, and of course she would always find me, flashing a light wherever I was.

I opened the fridge to see nothing besides orange juice. I let out a sigh, knowing that I'd have to go do the shopping later. I went over to the cupboard, taking the bread out and jar of chocolate spread. I took out two plates and two glasses, making my way over towards the counter.

Taking out two slices of bread, I placed it on the plate, taking a knife and spreading the chocolate substance on evenly as possible. I placed the top bread on top and licked the knife clean, of course not cutting myself. I poured two glasses of orange juice and placed the cartoon back into the fridge, putting everything else back into place.

It's been 15 minutes. I wonder if he's done.

I made my way towards the bathroom, to see it opened and empty. I heard muffled sounds coming from my room.

"Who are you?"

"I should say the same about you!" Another voice said. Another voice?

"No, you answer me! Who are you? Why are you calling Keira's PCS?"

"I'm a friend of hers who is clearly trying to give her a morning call, only to be seeing a half naked guy in a towel standing in place of her!"

"What's going on?" I stepped in, finding both Alden and Alek staring intensely at each other, nose flared, neck veins popping out, and their hands balled up in a fist. Did I miss something before this?

"Well, Mr. IToldYouToStayAwayFromHim called your PCS when I came out of the shower." Alden said disgustedly.

"I was calling to say good morning and to see how you were doing. You didn't reply to any of my messages yesterday." Alek said, his features softening.

Messages? What messages? I saw Alden look away, scratching the back of his neck. He--

"Uh, Alek, could you excuse us?" I pulled Alden out of the room without another word.

"What was he talking about? I don't remember getting any messages, let alone see my own tabloid!" I whispered/yelled at him.

He looked away guiltily. "I, uh..."
