I stepped onto the driveway. 'Just go in, give him the bag, and get out,' my mind said. My heart beat faster as I walked up, slowly reaching the doorway. I knocked, and waited. A small boy, aroung six years old answered. His bright blue eyes shone as he looked up at me with a smile, his cheeks flushed.

"Cassie!" he shouted. He pulled me by the arm and dragged me downstairs. My heart was beating rapidly as I realized I was in his house, with his brother, in his...

"oomph," I said as a collision brought me out of my thoughts. I looked up and saw Matt smiling down at me. I glared at him, trying not to look dazed as I stared at him. His body was hot and buff, he obviously just finished working out because of his lack of shirt, showing of his fine abs, the towel draped over his shoulders, and his workout shorts.

"Cassie, Cassie, come downstairs! Let me show you my new Wii and we can play mariokart!" Nicholas' excited expression made his six year old face light up. I really hated letting him down.

"Sorry Nicky but I only came by to give your brother his bag," i said, sneaking a glance at Matt. He looked at me and I quickly diverted my gaze back to Nicky.

"Caasssiieee," Nicky whined, "last time you didn't stay either". I barely managed to supress a laugh. Last time after I 'left,' I climbed back up the conveiniently placed tree into Matt's bedroom. Matt glanced over at me, his eyes twinkling in amusement. I gave him another glare, and was about to leave when I finally heard him speak.

"Cass," he said, "just come in for a sec and let me talk to you." I sighed. I was so close, I had nearly gotten out in time. But I was never able to resist the sound of his voice.

He led me into the family room to have probably the hardest conversation of my life.
