The Change

Chapter Twenty-Four

When I woke up, Corey was gone. I stretched and went downstairs in my underwear and a pink t-shirt. My hair was a mess. It was just me, Harmony, Haim and Feldman. Everyone I wanted impress had already been impressed. I went into to the kitchen to get some cereal....
"Mornin', beautiful. Feel like having French toast instead?" I looked at the two Coreys. They were in the kitchen, making toast together. Oh, sorry. French toast. They moved around the kitchen like they've been cooking together forever. They were swift and precise.
"Umm... yeah, sure." I went to the table and sat down. Wait. Didn't I have shorts on when I went to bed?
My thoughts were interrupted by a clank of the plate suddenly set in front of me. Great. French toast. I don't really like French toast, but I'll eat it. I put a ton of syrup on it, cut it, then put it to my mouth....
"Mmm. This is actually pretty good."
"Well I hope so! We're only the best cooks!" Corey exclaimed, shoving the last piece of his toast into his mouth.
I rolled my eyes, but smiled. Harmony finally came down from the room. "So Sleeping Beauty finally woke up!" Feldman looked at Harmony and smiled.
She did a sarcastic smile.
"We made breakfast. French toast." Feldman went to get her a plate.
Harmony gave me a look that said, "is it any good?"
I laughed then said, "Trust me, it's good!"
She shrugged and Feldman gave her her plate. She ate a piece.
"See? I wouldn't steer you wrong!"
She rolled her eyes. "You're right, it's good."
When I was done eating, I put my plate in the sink and went upstairs to change. I heard someone come after me. Corey. I turned around. "Hey baby."
Corey wrapped me in his arms. "Hey. You gonna change?"
"Yup."
"Well, I have to change, too, and I need a room to change in. So... can I change in here?"
He didn't know it, but now was my chance to pick on him. "Sure." I slipped away and went into the room.
"Nice!" He followed close behind me. I got clothes out of my drawer and let a bra strap slip down my shoulder. I purposely pulled a part of my underwear low, just to tease him. He came up behind me and put his hands on my stomach then  kissed my neck. "Wanna do this?"
I put my hands in his hair then ran them to his neck. I turned around in his arms to face him. I bit my lip then smiled. "Oh baby. You know it." I ran my fingers in his hair. There's something about good hair that I just can't refuse. He ran his hands down to my butt and lifted. Knowing what he wanted to do, I jumped a little. I was still kissing him, and he was still holding me up. I stopped kissing him and had him put me down. I got my clothes and started to walk away.
"What... are you doing? Aren't you gonna... change... here?" He was panting.
I smiled. "I'm not that easy. Plus, you're changing. I'll just change in the bathroom."
He smirked. "You're such a tease!"
I shrugged. "And I love it." I closed the door. I got changed and went to my door. "Cor, when you're done, go downstairs, okay?"
I heard a, "okay" from inside. I went downstairs to find Harmony and Corey F cuddling and watching t.v. "Hey guys, watcha watchin'?" I sat down next to them.
"Nothin' much." Harmony replied. "Just MTV."
"Oh." I looked on the table and saw that there were still plates on the table. Being there nothing else to do, I got up and put the dishes by the sink. Where was Corey? I washed the dishes, and still no Corey. I went up to the room and knocked on the door. "Cor, you okay?"
No answer.
"Corey, I'm coming in." I opened the door. His clothes were gone, and so was he! I crossed my arms and gave a sarcastic laugh. "Ha ha, Corey. Very funny. You got me, now come out."
No answer, and no smiling Corey popping out anywhere.
"Wow. I like you're commitment. Even opened the window...." I went to the window. The ladder was there. "Umm, Corey? This really isn't funny. You can come out now."
No response.
"Corey Ian Haim!" He would come out now. I only call him by his full name when I'm mad at him.
Not even a breeze.
I ran downstairs. "Guys! Corey's gone!" I shouted.
"Oh, you mean... this Corey? Sitting right beside me. Yeah, don't know where he is." Feldman pointed to Corey. Harmony laughed. "Anastasia, quit being stupid!"
I crossed my arms. "Corey Ian Haim, that was not funny."
"Uh oh. Middle name! Nice knowin' ya, buddy!" Feldman laughed.
Corey looked at Corey F. "Yeah? I'd like to see what she could do!"
I smirked. To be honest, I've never intentionally hurt someone in my life, so I didn't know what I was going to. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him up. "Any last words?"
"Feldman, when I die, I want to take care of my ma. Harmony, I want you to make sure the cops never find out who did it. People will find out I've been corrupted!"
"Some smack for a dead man!"
He laughed. I let go of him.
"You know what? Let's go, right here, right now!" I put up my fists.
He raised an eyebrow. "You're gonna actually try to fight me?"
I smiled. I was probably going to lose, but so be it. "Yup! Ready?"
"Sure."
I went towards him and tried to push him down. He stopped me, and soon we were just punching against each other, our hands on each other's arms. Since that wasn't working, I quickly went for his legs.
"What are you doing?" He tried to move, but couldn't. I had wrapped myself around his legs!
"You try to move, you fall!"
"What if try to do this instead?" He tickled my sides.
"Jokes on you! I'm not ticklish there!"
"What? I've tickled you there before."
"Yeah. I just wanted you to flirt with me, so I pretended to be ticklish there."
He stopped and dramatically gasped. "What? Well, I never!"
I laughed. "Yes! It was a lie!"
"Then, where is she actually ticklish, guys?"
Uh oh. I've told Harmony where I'm actually ticklish before. "Harmony, don't."
"Sorry, Ana. She's ticklish...."
"Harmony!"
"Hey, I could make this so much worse. So, she's ticklish.... No where."
"Wow, thanks, Harmony. You were such help!" Corey's voice dripped sarcasm. I started tickling all over. Then he got to my feet....
"Ooh! I found it!"
"No! Ha ha!" I tried to move my feet away. I let go of one of his legs, and he tried to move, but he fell. I got up.
"Yes! I win!"
He pulled me down. "No, I win." He kissed me.
I heard two groans from the couch. "How come everything you guys do end in a kiss?!"
We got up, and Corey answered. "How come everything you guys do doesn't end in a kiss?" He stuck his tongue out at them, and I followed along.
"Whatever."
"So... what are we gonna do today?" I asked.
"I don't know. What do you guys wanna do?" Harmony asked.
I looked at Corey. He looked back at me with the same look. We both shouted what we wanted to do. "Beach!"
