"54...54...where's number 54?"

I had been wandering around the same street for five minutes trying to find my friend's house. Finally, after what felt like hours, I found house 54. I walked up the steps onto the porch and rang the doorbell.

The door opened quickly to reveal my best friend's older brother, Kang Daniel. My eyes widened as I felt my heart begin to race. He just smiled at me and opened the door wider so I could old enter. "Hey Amelia! I'm guessing Jawahir invited you over"

Before I could reply, Jawahir cane down the stairs with a big smile on her face. "Amelia, what took you so long? You didn't get lost again, did you?" I let out a nervous laugh before entering the house. "You know me. I have no sense of direction."

Jawahir just laughed as she grabbed my hand and dragged me up the stairs to her bedroom. I took a quick glance  behind my back to see Daniel closing the door and heading towards the living room.

We spent the next couple of hours working on homework and talking about typical school drama. After a while, the two of us were lying on her bed until we were interrupted by a loud crash of thunder and flashes of lightning.

My eyes widened and I walked towards the window to see the state of the weather. There was a heavy downpour of rain followed by thunder and lightning. I sighed as I checked the time.

"I don't think I'll be able to walk home and my parents are out of town for business." Jawahir's eyes lit up as she thought of an idea. "Why don't you just stay here for the night? You can borrow my pyjamas and some clothes for school tomorrow."

After a few calls with my parents, they agreed to let me stay the night. I delivered the good news to Jawahir and she handed me some of her clothes. "Get changed in the bathroom and meet me and Daniel downstairs."

I nodded and headed to the bathroom to change. After that, I put my clothes next to my bag in Jawavir's room and headed downstairs. Jawahir wasn't anywhere in sight but from the bottom of the staircase, I could see Daniel watching TV on their couch.

When his eyes laid on me, I felt butterflies in my stomach as he smiled at me. "Hey, Jawahir's in the kitchen."
I saw him pointing towards a room beside the staircase and sent him a small smile.

I walked in to see Jawahir cooking food. After looking around, I noticed that something was out of place. "Hey, where are your parents?"

"They went to Italy for their wedding anniversary." Jawahir finished cooking the food and put it into plates. She handed me mine and carried two others to the living room. I followed her and watched as she gave Daniel a plate and sat down next to him. The only other empty spot on the couch was on the opposite side of Daniel.

I felt awkward suddenly sitting next to him, so I sat on the floor next to Jawahir. I could see at the corner of my eye that Daniel was eyeing me, but I decided to ignore it. We all started to eat dinner and soon after became bored.

Jawahir got a mischievous glint in her eyes as she took the remote away from Daniel and changed the channel. Her strange behaviour confused until I saw what she put on; IT

I felt my breathes become faster as I tapped Jawahir. "You know I hate scary movies. Can't we watch something else?" Jawahir just smiled at me innocently and shook her head as she went back to the movie.

We were already halfway in and I was covering my eyes for the entirety of the time. The storm outside causing the electricity to falter didn't help as well. I looked up at the couch again only to find Jawahir sleeping and Daniel gone.

I sighed in relief as I layed her down in the couch and covered her with a blanket. I turned off the TV and decided to go sleep upstairs in her room. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fall asleep. I kept tossing and turning, but nothing worked. The thought of a clown climbing in through the window kept me wide awake.

Finally, I decided to go downstairs and get a glass of water. "Maybe that will calm me down." I walked all the way down to th kitchen and poured a glass of water. While I was drinking, I heard a loud thud behind me.

My eyes widened as I stood as still as possible, but the thud was heard again. When I heard it coming closer to me, I crouched down on the floor, covering my ears and eyes in fear.

It wasn't until the lights turned on that I slowly began to open my eyes. I took a glimpse at the door to see a half naked
Daniel. I looked away with a red face as I heard him come closer to me.

Daniel crouched down beside me, kneeling down further so that he could see my face. "Are you okay? You seem a bit scared." I slightly shook my head, still shaken up from the movie we had watched earlier.

Suddenly, a hand was on my back, stroking it so softly. I looked up to see Daniel trying to comfort me with a small smile. "I'm sorry you had to watch that movie even though you hate scary movies. Jawahir is like that sometimes."

I tried to reply back, but I couldn't get any words out. My face was getting redder so I just tried my best to not look at him.

Daniel noticed my behaviour and stood up. "Amelia, if you're really scared, I can't just send you to bed by yourself. Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

My eyes widened as I just comprehended what Daniel just said. "Don't worry! I'll stay on my side and you'll stay on yours." I thought about Daniel's proposal for a minute.

'On one hand, I won't be able to sleep at all. On the other hand, my childhood crush is inviting me to sleep with him!'

Reluctantly, I agreed and slowly stood up. Daniel took my hand and pulled me towards his room. Once we entered, Daniel pointed towards his bed. "If you feel really uncomfortable, I'll sleep on the floor."

I looked at Daniel and just smiled. "It's fine. It's your bed and I don't want you to sleep on the floor. We can both sleep in it." After a couple of minutes, we both got settled into bed. I closed my eyes and was almost asleep when a soft voice kept me awake a little longer.

"You even look pretty when your sleeping... if you weren't my sister's best friend, I probably would've confessed to you already."

I slightly opened my eyes to see Daniel staring at me. As he turned to face his side of the bed, I grabbed his arm. Daniel looked at me as I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I like you too Kang Daniel. I always have." I watched as Daniel's confused far morphed into one with a big smile. He leaned in and began to kiss me deeply.

When we pulled away, we both let out a laugh. "So how are we going to tell Jawahir." Daniel wrapped his arms around my waste and pulled me closer so our bodies were against each other. "She'll find out tomorrow. Don't worry about it."

That night, I was able to sleep soundly. Daniel and I fell asleep in each other's arms and I was able to have the sweetest dream.
