A/N I hope you guys like this. I feel so relieved to be able to finally be posting this. If anyone needs me, I'll be tucked up in bed, watching season 2 of Pretty Little Liars (coz that's how far behind I am :)).

Love, 

Percy

P.S. Hope all of you have a fabulous weekend! Don't forget to vote (and comment) :)

"Do you think Evan's still awake?"

I tilted my head and glanced out the window. "I don't know. Probably."

We fell silent, but this time, it was different. Everything felt different somehow, but it was a good kind of different.

"Well, I should go."

"Wait." Chase unbuckled his seatbelt and opened his car door. "Don't go anywhere." He slid out and I watched him run around the front of the car to my side before opening the door for me. I laughed.

"Thanks, though this really isn't necessary," I said as Chase took my hand and helped me out of the vehicle. "I'm a big girl. I can get out myself."

"I know." He closed the door and offered me his arm. He looked unusually good in the dim lighting of a nearby streetlamp. If anyone else had been cast under that eerie glow, they would've looked plain creepy, but Chase managed to look mysterious and kind of brooding.

I took his arm and we walked up the steps to my house.

"Whoever said chivalry is dead among our generation has obviously not met you," I said laughingly as we stopped outside my front door. Chase let out a chuckle, a sound that reverberated right to my very core. I wouldn't ever get sick of hearing that sound.

"Well, I try," he said. It wasn't the best lighting, but I could see his eyes darkening, an action that made my body heat up. "But I'm definitely no saint."

A grin crossed his lips before he bent his head and captured mine. I felt myself automatically wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer, my breath hitching when the full length of his body was pressed against mine. He tasted so good- like cookies and honey and cinnamon- and when he angled his head to deepen the kiss, I didn't hesitate. This was going far beyond what I was used to, but I didn't care. Adrenaline was pulsating through my veins; I was lost in everything that was Chase.

I felt him gently push me so that my back was pressed against the wall, our mouths still tightly fused to one another, and when his teeth grazed my bottom lip, I let out a soft moan. My hands buried themselves in his hair, relishing how thick and silky it felt, as his lips left mine and began a slow trail down my neck.

And then the porch light came on.

"So I heard Evan caught you with Chase having a full-on snogging session on the front porch last night." Adam looked all too gleeful as he poured himself a bowl of cereal. He grinned widely at me.

I felt my whole face redden, the heat rapidly spreading from my cheeks to the tips of my ears. "Shut up, Adam." I turned around in a pathetic attempt to hide my embarrassment. Adam began making kissy noises and laughing.

"Adam, shut the hell up or I'm going to punch you in the dick."

Adam placed a hand over his heart, pouting ridiculously. "You wound me, Pops. I'm just trying to make conversation with my dear sister over breakfast this fine morning." He smiled innocently at me. "Which is something you obviously weren't doing with Chase yesterday," he added quickly before bursting into laughter again.

I groaned. Grabbing a spoon, I flung it at my brother who ducked just in time so that the spoon hit the door frame. Thankfully, he didn't stick around to further humiliate me. He had football practice to get to.
