He's staring at me, a smile playing on his lips.

"Making sure you have your nap without anyone interrupting it." Michael says. He taps the space next to him. He's sitting next to the window, I need the window to lay my head on it and sleep.

"You are in my seat! Move!" I say annoyed. I put my hands in my hips waiting for him to move.

"Come here already!" He grabs my left wrist and pulls me into the seat next to him but I wasn't expecting that so I don't land in the seat. I lose my balance and suddenly all I see are two dark and deep eyes. I'm laying on his lap, he's holding my head avoiding it from hitting the window. He's face is inches away from mine.

"I thought you wanted to sleep." He wiggles his eyebrows and smirks.

"You shouldn't have done that." I squirm in my place trying to get up. "Let me go!" I free myself from his grip in my wrist and pull myself up on my feet again. I look around in the van for any seat left but there isn't any. Defeated I sit next to him.

"I knew you wouldn't help being away from me."

"Oh please! Don't give yourself that much credit."

"Hey you guys! Wanna play something?" Tate is staring at us from the seat across mine. She's holding a DSi nintendo. Oh, this is going to be good. We have this tradition of playing Mario Kart in the car when we travel. We used to do that since I was eight.

I used to be pretty bad on it but I've being practicing and now I can say that I've improved. These time I won't let them win. I'm gonna kick their a****.

"Sure, why not?" I say scooting to the edge of my seat.

"Honey, please, leave this to the adults." Michael grabs my arm and scoot to the edge of his seat and closer to me.

"You idiot!" I lean to my side and grab the DSi from Tate. "Give me that! I'll prove it to you and I'm gonna kick your a**!" I say to Michael while putting the game on.

"Yeah sure... if you say so." He's voice is full of sarcasm. I'm about to explode! I'm so mad that the act of taking his head out and then throwing his eyeballs through the window seems like a very good idea except for the fact that I might go to jail and jail doesn't have Netflix. It's not worth it...

"You know what... if you're so sure of yourself, why don't we make a bet?" He's scooting closer to me with his eyes defiant and a smile playing on his lips. Eejit! "If you win, you'll have a wish. I have to do something you order me to or something you want."

"Hm... that seems fun, I can already think about some hilarious things I can make you do."

"But if I win, you'll have to do something for me. I'll have a wish and you're going to make it true." He's smiling because he knows that I'm gonna agree. I can't avoid a dare. Tate is looking intensely from one to another wondering if I'm gonna accept it.

"Deal." I put my hand in front of him so we can shake it. He grabs it and pull me closer, his eyes in mine and then they go down to my lips.

"Deal." He says and then he let go of my hand.

I put the game on and choose my avatar. I choose Yoshi because he's so cute. The game began. I'm playing like I practiced. Taking care of the other players on my way, throwing them some tramps, getting the most advantage I can. I'm in the 5th place, then one turn right and I'm in the 4th place. I throw some turtle shells at Mario that's in front of me, he loose stability and I'm 3th. I get advantage over Peach with the shinny star (I like to call it that way or the dancing star cause it's so fun...anyway) and now I'm 2nd. I'm gonna make it! It's the final lap. I just have to pass Bowser and I'll win. I'm reaching him, in the next turn right I can get to him. I reach him and push him to the side and speed up all I can. I'm 1st!!!! I can see the finish line. I'm almost there but suddenly the Dsi vibrates and my car looses stability. Bowser threw me some turtle shells. He goes through the finish line and I finish in the second place. Bloody hell!

"I must say that you really have improved a lot. Good job... but not good enough." He's smirking and I want to punch him so hard that he'll  erase that smile off his face. "Now let me show you how the job is done."

Idiot!

He takes the Dsi from my hands and chooses his avatar. He picks Bowser. Wow, great irony! He begins to play. I must admit that he's very good at that. He is in the third place and he has just began. Before begining the final lap he's already in the 1st place. I'm waiting for some other player to throw him something so he'll be delayed. But he skips every obstacle. He finishes in first place.

Holy bloody panda!
I lost.

"Oh oh... Jade, looks like you'll have to pay your debt." Tate says fighting back her laugh. I give her a look and she shuts up.

"Okay... so now what do you want me to do?" I ask angry about the situation and ready to get this done.

"Not now." He closes the Nintendo and sits straight back in his seat with his hands together and his head leaning in the window.

"Excuse me..." I'm really annoyed right now. I just want this to get it done! I'm already annoyed because he won. But now he's behaving like an idiot. He's just wanting attention and I have no time for feeding his ego.

"I said not now. I don't want anything right now. I'll use that wish when it's more convenient for me." He's staring at me. I feel my face get hot. I am really mad! He'll make me wait?! I can't wait! I like things done. He'll take advantage of that!

I can hear behind me Tate laughing quietly. I turn around and Tate stops laughing and pretends to be watching through the window. I take out my phone and pretend to be reading one of the many books I have for these kind of emergencies when I'm bored or when I must pretend that I'm really busy with my phone so I won't have to interact with someone else.

Everyone around me is already sleeping. It'll be a long trip so Tate is also getting herself comfortable to sleep.

I try to lean my head back so I can try to sleep but it's really uncomfortable. I need my window.
I close my eyes when suddenly I feel something in my leg. I open my eyes and I see a snickers in my leg.

"Here!" I look up and Michael is looking at me expectantly.

"What's this?" I ask a little confused.

"Don't you know? It's a chocolate bar obviously..." Okay... stop it with the sarcasm.

"I know what it is! I mean... why do you give me this?"

"It's your favorite, isn't it? I remember you always bought it in every gas station we stopped and you enjoyed eating it during the ride." His eyes are so intense I can't stop looking at them. I get lost in his eyes again and I forget why I was mad some minutes ago. "I saw them when we were in the store and I thought about you... I thought that you'd like it. So here you have."

I can't believe that he remembered, that was a long time ago. I grab the snickers and open it. I have this weird thing that I like to eat my snickers before I take a nap in the car. He knows it.

"Thank you." I keep staring at him. I take a bite of the chocolate without breaking eye contact with him. His eyes go down to my lips when I bite it, a shiver goes down my spine and I have to look down because I can already feel my cheeks burning. "Do you want some?" I take a piece of it and give it to him. He takes it and thanks me for that. I finish the snickers without looking at him again then I make myself comfortable to sleep.

I pull my knees up to the seat and move my body on the side, so now my right side it leaning on the seat. I close my eyes and try to sleep. The car is moving too much so I can my head bouncing from one side to another. Suddenly I feel some arms grabbing me and pulling me backwards until my back is pressing someone's chest, his chest.

"Sh, sh, sh... I know you're still awake. Everyone is sleep already." He's whispering in my hear and that's sending shivers down my spine though I try to fight it.

"Let go of me" I whisper and try to move but his grip is tight.

"I told you that I'll make sure you have your nap without anyone interrupting it. And we both know that you really need it 'cause then you'll be grumpy all day and no one needs a grumpy Jade, do they? So now, relax and sleep I'll make sure you sleep well." I can feel him smiling and this feels so good. I like being surrounded by his arms and I really need my nap... so why don't let it be?

I close my eyes and the last thing I can sense is his smell.

"Sleep tight babe..."
