I don't remember anything since I feel asleep in the car last night. I don't remember waking up and getting out of the car... But still I wake up in my bed. I was still in the clothes that I went out in last night. I was placed on top of my bed, Not under the covers, my shoes had been taken off and now were on the floor next to the bed.

Covering me was a black jacket over my arms and waist... Black jacket? Zeke wasn't wearing a jacket... He was moaning that he was cold, that's why I don't know he didn't have a jacket.

Regardless I changed into a pair of batman pyjama bottoms and a vest top then threw the jacket on over my shirt and walked over to the door. Taking a look in the mirror before I left, I fixed my makeup and hair then went downstairs.

Walking in the living room to all the shirtless boys- Let me just repeat that... The SHIRTLESS boys. Oh god. I know that I'm with Zeke, but come on. I'm an 18 year old hormonal girl. In a room with good looking, shirtless boys. This is either going to be fun or very awkward.

"Good morning guys. Looking as handsome as ever." I said to them all.

"Morning. Sounds like you've been here your whole life." Zeke said standing up and kissing my cheek.

"I grow on people easy I guess." I heard someone mutter something but didn't pay attention.

"Gorgeous." Seth said hugging me.

"Gen. A delight." Ray smiled.

"As always." Finch added as I sat down next to him.

"So what're we doing?" I asked them, being as Nate was ignoring my existence, so I assume the scoff was from him.

"Seeing what is on TV to watch because were bored." Seth said as Zeke took the remote from Ray.

I settled on the sofa, in between Seth and Finch. Zeke sat on the floor in front of me. Then Ray and Nate shared another sofa to the left of us. We decided on watching Family Guy instead, being as nothing else was on.

We were all talking about what is going to happen and Zeke asking me when we were leaving. He said that if just us two went for a few days then maybe his parents can come over and meet mine? Or if we could decided to go on a little holiday somewhere and get to know each other better that way. Honestly I didn't mind either way.

We finally decided on going to meet my parents in the next few days. Then whilst we were there we could arrange a holiday for us all. I phoned my dad and told him our plan. Myself and Zeke were going to fly over to my house and introduce him to them, then we were going to wait for his parents to make the flying and booking arrangements with my parents then we would go to wherever we decided to.

Half way through the episode I saw something in the corner of my eye. I turned my head and saw Nate nodding to the door for me to follow him. He excused himself saying he needed to go and get a drink. I followed shortly after excusing myself for the loo.

"What?" I asked as he turned to face me.

We were in my room and he wasn't saying anything. "Nate!" I said.

"You look cute." He smirked at me.

"What?" I was confused.

"I said you look cute. In my hoodie." He smiled.

"Your hoodie?" I asked.

"Yeah, we brought you in last night but Zeke was too tired to put you under the covers so I put my jacket on you." His cheeky smirk swapped for a genuine smile.

"Oh... Thanks. Sorry do you want it back?" I began to take it off but he put his hands on the top of my arms and stepped forward, replacing the hoodie around me.

"Look Gen. Since I met you at the Café... I haven't stopped thinking about you."

"Nate-" I tried to cut him off but he continued.

"I know you and Zeke are together but... It kills me seeing you two together. When you we were at the restaurant or in the car... It hurts me too much. I know my light isn't lit for you, but my real heart is glowing so badly right now... every time I am around you, my heart flusters and I loose control of my mind." He paused and stared deeply into my eyes.

"When I first saw you-" I cut him off.

"Nate..." I sighed.

"No. I need to say this to you. I don't care anymore. You need to know this. When I first saw you. Back in the cafe. Something came over me. This massive wave and I couldn't find my breath. Then when I started talking to you I just...-"

"Froze?" I laughed slightly as I remembered the moment.

"Exactly. And Imogen... I think... No. I know. I-I love you."

I froze. I literally couldn't move. He just told me he loved me. He actually just told me that he was in love with me.

After what felt like forever (About a minuet) He leaned forward. Gently pressing his lips against mine. It took me a second to realise what he was doing then I kissed back. I have no clue why I did... but I did... because this felt right. Here. Now. With Nate.

I pulled away and sat down on the bed... Well I more collapsed onto the bed rethinking what the hell I just did. 'Why did I do that?' I thought to myself.

"Nate... I-I just need some time..." I didn't look up because I knew that if I did, I would end up kissing him again.

"But Gen-" He started.

"Nate, please. Don't make this any harder than it already is." I told him. Tears threatening me because of my vulnerability.

"I- I will leave you to it then..." The inconsolable look he gave me as he walked out just shattered my heart.

What was I supposed to do? I shouldn't have done that. I'm going home soon to introduce my mum and dad to the guy I will be spending the rest of my life with. What are they going to say when they found out I kissed another guy... forget them... what will Zeke say. He is going to hate me. The last person tat disobeyed the 'Love Law' ... Well, lets just say... they are alone now. To be honest I don't think anyone has seen them... Oh god. this is bad... very, very bad.
