~Sally's POV ~

After Tony and Jordan went on a date, I was sitting on the couch watching the nightmare before Christmas when Mike came and sat down next to me.

"When everyone else leaves, I need to talk to you." Mike whispered to me right as Jaime entered the room.

"I'm leaving, I'll see you all later!" Jaime shouted before exiting the house.

"Okay, I'm okay with that." I whispered back.

Mike and I continued to watch the movie when Paige and Vic exited Paige's room.

"Did you guys have fun in there?" I asked with a wink.

"We didn't do anything you would do!" Paige protested.

"Sure you didn't," I replied, smirking at the two.

"We didn't, either way, I'm taking Paige on a date later today, in about a couple hours." Vic said as he sat down with his legs apart, leaving Paige room to sit down, which she did.

"Ugh, that's to long!" Paige signed as she leaned against Vic's chest, his arms wrapped around her waist and he kissed her shoulder.

"Well, you're going to have to wait my love," Vic said as he kissed her cheek.

"Damn Lovebirds," I heard Mike mutter.

"Hey! I heard that!" Paige said, pointing at Mike.

"Oh well, its true." Mike said, chuckling, causing me to laugh.

"Mike, if you didn't want to deal with two lovebirds, you shouldn't've hooked us up." Vic told his younger brother.

"Girls, girls, girls, you're both pretty, jute shut up I'm watching The nightmare before Christmas." I told the Fuentes brothers.

"Or you'll do what?" Vic challenged me.

I looked Vic dead in the eyes. "Or I'll hunt you down, skin you, burn your insides, and feed you to the wolves. Now shut up." The look on my face must've been serious because he shut up.

I smiled at my accomplishment as I returned my attention to the movie.

After a little bit of watching the movie, I cuddled up into Mike's side, although I don't know why. We weren't official.

To my surprise, Mike wrapped his arm around my waist. Mike didn't seem like the 'cuddle on the couch and watch movies' kind of guy so I was very confused.

"Mike," I whispered, "Can we talk, in my room, like now?" I looked at Mike and he nodded.

Both Mike and I got up and walked to my room. I didn't know what I was going to say exactly, all I knew was that I needed to make sure Mike and I weren't going to become friends with benefits. I liked Mike, allot, and I wanted up to actually date. I didn't want it to be a one night stand, or for us to be friends with benefits. I wanted us to be together.

"Yes Sally?" Mike asked me as he sat on the edge of my bed.

"Well, I just need to know something . . ." I trailed off.

"And what's that?"

"What are we? Friends? Friends with benefits? What? I don't want last night to have been a one night stand. I don't want to be just friends. I don't want to be friends with benefits. I was you to be mine." I confessed to Mike as I ran my hand through my hair, it was an obvious sign of nervousness.
