I walk up the stairs and around the corner, when I literally RUN INTO Adam. I stumble backwards and fall on my ass. I roll over laughing and he looks at me weirdly.

“Are you ok? Did you hit your head?” He worries. This makes me laugh harder and I try to pause.

After a few deep breaths, I pull myself off the floor and correct my clothes. “Nah I’m fine. It’s not every day that I fall on my ass and watch your face turn from happy to horrified to scared to confused. Damn,” I say wiping a tear away from my eye. “You should have seen your face man, that was deathly.”

“Okay…” He says. The air between us becomes awkward and silent. The only noise that is echoing through the house is the laughter of the guys from the lounge. I look at the ground. My feet all of a sudden become the most interesting thing in the world. I know this feeling. This is that same kind of feeling I get whenever I- NO WAY. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN HAVE A CRUSH ON ADAM CHELSEA!?

I continue to stay deathly quiet until Adam breaks the silence. “Er…Ah…You can…Uh-Um…Choose your room if you want?” It comes out as almost a question. I nervously look up and smile. His mood automatically brightens.

“Cool lets go,” He grabs my hand and drags me along the white marble hallway. This house must have cost millions. I stare at our hands. I can feel the blush creeping to my cheeks. He continues dragging me until we reach the end of the hall. He lets go of my hand and opens a door. I look inside and see stairs. It goes up? I look at him, he looks at me, and I look to the staircase and give him a questioning glare. He nods and gently pushes me into the door. He closes the door behind him and we are met with complete darkness. I giggle.

“I’m not going to be raped am I Adam?” I say, still giggling like a schoolgirl.

He laughs a real low laugh, and gently shoves me against the wall. His face creeps down to next to my ear. “Depends if you like it,” he whispers. I giggle lightly.

“I dunno, do i?” I say smartly. By now our eyes have adjusted and a faint light comes from under the door. His sparkling eyes look at me.

“There is something mysterious about you I just want to figure out,” He whispers.

“Would that make me Mrs. Mysterious?” I ask. We both laugh and he leans in. I can tell he is about to kiss me, but he isn’t holding me against the wall. I have a real quick thought. I decide to make it a funny and quirky experience.

“NOPE!” I say, and run up the stairs laughing.

I wrench my phone from my pocket and turn the torch on. “Coolies, I like it. I’ll take it,” I say.

Adam walks up behind me and looks at the ground; guilt obvious by the way he stands. “That was easier than expected,” he mumbles.

I walk out to the car and grab my suitcase from the back seat. I drop the things that need refrigeration in the fridge and walk over to the stairs. With a 30kg suitcase in your hands, they seem double the size. Good guy Mitch notices my discomfort and walks over to me. He grabs my suitcase and carries it up the stairs with ease.

“Thanks Mitch,” I say.

“No problems, anytime,” He says back. I walk to my room and remember I had more stairs to go up. I do not want to bother Mitch again, so I begin the journey up the stairs. 5 minutes later I make it to the top. I walk over to my bed and collapse onto it. It wiggles underneath me. A waterbed!? Holy shit, this is going to be one fun month.
