I turned around to meet a smirking chess with his arms folded looking down at me.

"If by hot, you mean revolting and by stalking you, you mean visiting your parents then, yes, exactly", I said with a smug look on my face that then turned into a frown as he laughed at my remark.

"Your never going to admit you were checking me out are you?"he said with his laughter dying down. I just rolled my eyes and went into the living room where I met my brother having a deep conversation with Ms Foxworth.

" So how are you doing Ms Foxworth?" I asked as I sat next to my brother on the long couch while Ms Foxworth sat on the revolver next to us.

"Please, call me Karen and I'm doing fine." She said with a sweet smile.

"Okay...Karen", I said returning a smile.

"How have you been since you collapsed? Are you eating well?", she asked with a concerned look on her face. Before I could answer she spoke again. "Speaking of eating, there's chocolate chip cookies on the counter. I kind of made too many so take as much as you want. Besides its only Chess and I home right now because his fathers on a business trip out of town and Chess isn't too..fond of sweets.", she said as her lips curved into a smile once again.

I nodded my head and walked into the kitchen to get some cookies while my brother fell into deep conversation with Ms Fox - I mean..Karen once again.

As I put about 10 out of 50 cookies into a paper bag,(she want kidding when she said she made a lot) I failed to notice Chess laying on the ground at the left of the island in the middle of the kitchen, eating the pizza we made.

I looked at him, bewildered. " What the hell are you doing on the floor and geez, leave some pizza for your mom.",I say as I look at the pizza on the counter with five slices missing.

"The floor is cold and...soft and I'm a growing boy, don't question how much I eat, just let me eat.", he said with a mouthful of pizza.

I rolled my eyes and i walked back to the living room processing what I just saw. "Well, Cole let's go home, its 11pm already." He looked at me and said goodnight to Karen and walked out the front door.

"Thanks for the cookies!" I yelled before going out the front door hearing a faint  'you're welcome'.

As I opened the front door about to go in I hear Karen yelling at Chess to get of the floor. I chuckled and rolled my eyes then locked the door. I set the cookies on the counter and went straight to my room, then went to bed.

I lay awake until 12pm, unable to fall asleep. I sighed as I sat up in my bed looking through the window to see Chess' room light still on. What does he do this late at night? I opened my room window hoping for some fresh midnight breeze to come through, but nothing. I was sweating even though the air conditioning was on in my room. I sighed and decided to take a nice and fresh, cold shower.

After my refreshing shower. I wrapped my hair in my towel and changed into some shirts and an over sized foot ball jersey that Cole lent me. I walked into my dark room illuminated by the moonlight allowing me to see certain parts of my room. I glanced through the window to see Chess' room light off, but His window still open. Idiot, doesn't he know raccoons can sneak in?

I felt my eye lids drooping slowly as sleep was overcoming me. I locked my window and lay in my bed and immediately closed my eyes.

My pillow was so soft. I wiggled my head as I tried to get comfortable. I felt a warm breath by my neck sending shivers down my spine. Then a strong arm around my waste that made me feel protected...hold up. AN ARM AROUND MY WASTE!?
