"What's wrong?" Erai asked, standing up next to me. I just hit myself on the head, and groaned. "Damn it, I forgot my regular clothes at work! I was so busy with YOU, that I forgot to change!"

Erai just chuckled, as if he was amused. "Uh, in case you forgot. Djinni." He pointed to himself, a smirk on his face. My face lit up happily, and I grabbed his hand again.

He lifted an eyebrow in confusion, and I just looked away as I waited patiently. "What are you doing?" Erai smirked, and I looked up at him confused. "Well aren't I supposed to hang on to you when we teleport?"

"Hmm, I don't think that's how it works." He said letting go of my hand, and crossing his arms. "It's not free remember?"

My smile dropped, and my mouth was hanging open. "What? Oh, don't tell me you're going to make me do that stupid and embarrassing tippy toe thing!" I crossed my arms just like him, and glared at him defiantly.

"Well it's either that, or you can drive. Waste of time and gas, but if your not going to comply, oh well." He grinned cheekily. "Plus... It's not had bad when you look like that..."

My cheeks burned as I felt the after affect of his compliment. Well, at least I hope it was... Usually I'd just roll my eyes, scoff or tell him to shut up, but...

"... Fine." I mumbled in embarrassment, slowly coming towards Erai. I got on my tippy toes and looked him straight into his eyes. ".....Please."

It seems I wasn't the only one off today. Erai, instead of his usual cocky smirk or grin, was just staring at me with wide eyes, like a kid when he first sees a $100 bill.

We remained like that for a while, but then Erai smiled gently down at me, and snaked his arm around my waist. "It's hard to say no when you look like that... Alright, hold on tight."

I clutched his arm that was around me, and before I could blink, we were inside of Sinclair's. It was dark and empty, no doubt Mr. Sinclair had already left a while ago.

"Ok, you wait here while I go change." I walked off without looking back at Erai. I went into the back where the employee lockers were, and quickly got out my clothes and took off my work clothes.

"Brrr... Why the hell is it so cold in here?" I could feel goosebumps form all over my body, and I started shivering slightly. "You would have at least thought-"

While I was aimlessly wobbling around trying to get all my clothes off, I stepped on something small, furry and apparently something that was still alive due to the loud squeak it made.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, dropping my regular clothes on the ground, and scrambled back.

Suddenly the lights came on, and Erai rushed in with an angry look on his face. "Seren?! What's wrong?!" His eyes scanned the room quickly, like he was ready to attack some burglar, but when his eyes landed on me, they widened and I looked down at myself.

"Oh My God!" I gasped, trying to cover myself with my arms. "DONT LOOK YOU PERVERT! Get out!!!" Other than my bra and thong, I was completely exposed.

Erai smirked, and but eventually turned around. He didn't leave the room, he only turned his back to me. "Hm. A lacy black thong with a matching black bra? Not bad."

"ERAI!" I screeched, feeling my entire body grow hot from morbid embarrassment. He only laughed at my bad luck, and I bit my bottom lip while blushing.

"I believe that's twice for you, and once for me." He laughed to himself, amused.

"What's are you talking about?!" I grew more and more angry, and Erai just seemed cool and collected. With a side of perverted that is. "Well, you're not completely naked, but... You saw me naked twice, and this is the first time I've seen you close to naked. But I'll take that as naked. I still get one more time to make it equal."

"Ugh, you never change!" I began to ignore him, and turned around and searched around for my clothes, but they were nowhere in sight.

But just then, I noticed that my clothes were still on the ground, right next to Erai.

"Uhm... Listen, don't truth around! My clothes are right next to your feet, just pick them up, and toss them to me!" I said sternly, and tried my best to do so. The birds in my stomach were back, and my heart was beating painfully fast.

Erai looked down to his right, and saw that my clothes were in a bunch on the ground. He chuckled to himself, and picked them up without looking at me.

"So how did they end up on the floor?" He asked in amusement.

"I... Ugh..." I was to embarrassed to tell him what happened, but he still heard me scream, so obviously I had to tell him the truth. "... I was changing, and... I stepped on a mouse..."

"That's what the scream was about?" Erai burst out laughing, and I just looked down at my feet in shame. "Shut up."

"I thought there was a bloody murderer in there or something, but apparently just Micky Mouse trying to get a peek. That cheeky bastard, trying to get some before I do." He snickered, and fed up with his stupidity, I quickly ran in to him, snatched my clothes out of his hand, and ran to the other side, where the other lockers would have blocked his view.

I changed quickly, pulling my shirt and pants on faster than I've ever done before, and walked out back into the cafe, where Erai was leaning against the doorframe, smirking.

"Hm, that was fast. Too bad. I don't know what your hurry was, I already saw everything." He pretended to pout and seem disappointed, and I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, well I've seen you naked before too. Trust me, nothing special." I walked over to him and grabbed his arm. "Come on."

"Wow wow, wait. Nothing special?" Erai pulled away from me and crossed his arms. "Well, you obviously didn't take a better look."

"Erai." I said as I rolled my eyes. "We don't have time for this, it's almost 2 A.M, and I'm tired." I urged, but he wasn't budging.

"Hm... Well, I'll do it only if you let me sleep in your bed." He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer.

"Oh like you need my permission in the first place! You always invite yourself whether I say yes or no, so what's the point?" I let his arm snake around my waist again, and tighten.

"Is that a yes? I won't go unless you say yes."

Persistent as always. "Uh, Erai-"

Suddenly a flash in the window caught me off guard and dropped my sentence. Both our heads snapped in the direction of the flash of light that had disappeared within seconds.

"Erai, what was that?!" I whispered harshly, and Erai didn't answer, he just teleported us back into my bedroom.

"Shit." He muttered, and looked over to me apologetically. "I think... That was a camera flash."

My eyes widened, and my heart and blood froze. "A camera..?!"

I pulled away from Erai, and started pacing around the room. "Oh crap! Somebody knows we got in without the keys! Past closing time! Shit!"

"Seren, calm down!" Erai grabbed my shoulders, and made me face him. "Listen to me, ok? It doesn't matter, it's no big deal. If the police are notified, then Mr. Sinclair will be too. But before that, I promise that I'll go and hypnotize him and make him tell the cops that he gave me the key and we were just getting your stuff that you left there."

I calmed down immediately as I thought over Erai's plan. It seemed to make sense... So it could work...

"I promise I won't let you get into any trouble." He gazed down intensely into my eyes, and I just nodded silently.

"Ok, good." He brought me into a hug, wrapping his arms around me and resting his chin on my head. "Sorry for not just taking us out of there sooner."

"Well... As long as you've learned that I'm always usually right, then it's ok..." I started to relax, and I felt Erai's chest vibrate as he chuckled. "Alright, lesson learned. Can I sleep in your bed now?"

Ugh. Men.
