Friday afternoon when Khan and Cat drop Armando and Caitlin off, Armando asks to speak to me in private. I show them their rooms and while Caitlin unpacks her bags I take Armando to my study. "You wanted to speak to me, so speak." Armando studies my face for a moment. "Listen I'm sorry about my behavior the other day. I had a talk with your Dad and Mom and my own parents too. I just took a fat chance with you and Caitlin, I actually don't know if she's your life mate for sure, although I sometimes get the feeling that there's more to your friendship that you lead on. I know my sister has this huge crash on you since seventh grade and I saw the way you look at her, so I assumed that you two sneak around my parents." I must stay calm now and keep a poker face. "Armando, she maybe has a crash on me but she doesn't know who her life mate is yet... I think what you see is just what the mind link do with us after the blood transfusion. I am her friend while ya'll act stupid with her because of her very high IQ and the fact that you and Anika feel guilty because you two sneak around and hooked up without anybody knowing. If you two keep it up it's going to bite you in the ass. I do hope you use protection each and every time." Armando blushes and looks away before we go into the Kitchen where Caitlin is pouring us some juice. "So what do you have for us do do Diego? Is there still a lot of things at your old place to move?" I look at Caitlin in her cut-off shorts and t-shirt and I feel myself getting aroused so I grab my glass and turn away to go around the counter and sit on one of the bar stools. "Well there's a few boxes and some of my clothes, but the furniture are my parent's so I'm going to leave it there. Maybe Anika and Armando can move in their in a few years and use it if they want to." We all drink our juice before we head out to my old apartment. After we loaded the last of my stuff I stop at the mall and turn to look at them both. "So what do you two think, will we pick up Anika and then get pizzas, then we can watch movies tonight. I'll ask my parents if Anika can stay the night, but you and Anika will have to promise to behave and not sneak around in the house tonight." Armando blushes but nods. "I promise I will not give you any reason to kick my ass." With that Diego arrange for Anika's sleepover at his house and after they have picked her up he got them pizzas, popcorn and a lot of other snacks before they head on home. While Anika unpacks her bag, Armando and Diego get everything ready in the media room for a great time with friends at the movies. Anika saunters into Caitlin's room and smiles. "I think my brother knows who his soul mate is, he just don't say it. he didn't said anything to you did he? By the way how is the link with him after the blood transfusion?" Caitlin changed into a big t-shirt and yoga pants so she can feel more at ease while they watch movies,. Diego doesn't know it but she saw his reaction to her in the cut-off shorts earlier the afternoon and she doesn't want to make him uncomfortable all evening in his own home. Now she turns to Anika and smiles. "No I don't know if he knows who his soul mate is, we haven't talked about it and we're just the same since the transfusion although I find it easier to link with him. You know I struggled to link with anybody including you. It's as with his blood I link with everybody now and I don't get the extreme headaches anymore or hear the voices as back ground that drove me cray in the past. I learned a good deal about linking and blocking from Diego but we are not linked the whole time if that was what you were wondering about. We actually block each other most of the times." Anika doesn't look as if she believes her and she actually comes out and say it. "Why don't I believe you. I get the feeling you also know who your Soul mate is, you just don't want to tell me." Caitlin laughs. "My dear friend I wish I knew who my Soul mate is and yes you know I always liked your brother way too much, but I don't do hook-ups and neither does he. If i knew my soul mate I would be able to know who my secret admirer is, because I think it's one and the same guy." Anika looks thoughtful before she answers Caitlin. "You know I actually believe you. What if it is Diego and you just don't know it yet. I mean Armando and I touched when we played volleyball and games in the pool and we didn't knew until he turned seventeen, what if when you turn seventeen in a few months you realise it is Diego? Will you be glad?" Caitlin smiles. "Well hell yeah off cause I will be happy. He is a catch and super cute, who wouldn't want such a hot guy as their mate, but I will also feel a bit shy and I'm not sure how I will handle it with him being a few years older than me. I'm not even legal yet." Anika laughs while they walk down the hallway. "O believe me you will totally forget to be shy around him and nothing will stop the two of you being together not even your parents." Caitlin don't know what to say and when they walk into the media room she blushes when Diego looks up. He sits on the floor in front of one of the big chairs eating popcorn. Armando looks at them too and makes a space for Anika with him on one of the chairs. "You two took your time, we better eat before the pizzas are a total waste." Diego shifts a bit and nods to Caitlin. "You can sit in this chair if you like, I'm to lazy to move now. I'm going to stay just here." Caitlin gives him one of the cushions on the other chair before she squeezes in behind him with her one leg under her and the other one half between his upper arm and the chair. She feels the tingles all the way up her leg and when he touches her ankle she knows that he feels it too. Luckily Armando and Anika cannot see on that side of Diego and they are so busy whispering and giggling that they do not realise Diego and Caitlin is touching or having their own private chat via link. They eat the pizzas, popcorn sweets and they drink lots of soda and juice while they watch 2 action packed movies. Even Armando and Anika stopped fooling around and watched the movies. When they went to bed Anika just waited for Diego to go into his room when she slipped out to Armando. Unfortunetely for them Diego has motion sensor cameras in the hallway that alerted him immediately. He knocks on Armando's door and when he opens, Diego pushes it further open to reveal Anika in Armando's bed. "Out!...Now!...Anika get your bag, I'm taking you home. I'm not going to guard the two of you the whole night." She knows her parents are not going to like this, it's two o' clock in the morning. "Please Diego, I'm sorry I will stay in my own room really we just wanted to talk. By the way how did you know if you weren't sneaking around in the hallway?" Diego laughs. "My dear little sister I don't have to sneak around to know what's going on in my house. If you looked in the hallway, you would have seen the camera's I had installed this morning. It's motion sensor cameras, so the moment you came out I knew it and the one on the stairs didn't go on so I knew you stopped along the way. Come I will have to wake Caitlin to tell her I'm taking you home." Armando stops him. "No please Diego we're going to be in deep shit if my parents found out. Just put the cameras on again and let's all go to sleep. Leave Caitlin out of this." Diego looks at Caitlin's door the moment it opens and she looks out in the hallway. She looks stunning in the pajamas he bought her. "If you didn't sneak around I would have been asleep right now Armando, but the three of you made such a ruckus I couldn't help to hear everything. Can you just for once in your life abide by the rules and don't screw up everyone's weekend please?" She steps back and winks at Diego before she closes the door with a little to much force, he's the only one who's able to see her where she stood behind the door and he wants to laugh but keeps a straight face. "Okay off to bed you go and please stay in your rooms." The next day he took them to explore the woods at the back of his yard and they even swam in the big pool near a beautiful waterfall. The evening Armando would have taken Anika to the movies but Diego decided to punish them they will have to stay home and Anika had to go home. Armando was furious but Diego just laughed it off. He and Caitlin played darts and pool and they made pasta while Armando just sat there in a chair glaring at them before he went and sit in the media room. After dinner they played another round of darts and a few card games but Armando went to his room. At her door he kisses her goodnight and after a few intense moments he decides he cannot have her here in his home again, especially alone because he won't be able to stay away from her for too long. That is the actual reason for Armando and Anika's so called punishment for the previous night's sneaking around too. When Khan and Cat entered the Church the next morning their children were already there and both of them sighed when they saw Caitlin and there's no sign of anything unusual with her. Even her hair is up in a beautiful hair-do and her neck clean of any hickeys. She smiles when her Dad moves into the row next to her and kisses her cheek. She knows he's looking for evidence that Diego claimed her or even just left a hickey. Lucky for her he don't have x-ray eyes to see the hickey just on the top of her breast, that would have ruined his day completely.
