Song: Millionaire

I wanna be a millionaire

So, oh oh oh, bad

Buy all of the things I never had

I wanna be on the cover of

Forbes magazine

Smiling next to Opera and the queen.

When we got to Hailey's house we camped out in the family room and watched a couple movies.

I clicked the buttons 2 and 15 on her microwave and listened to the popcorn pop. We were getting ready to watch 'The Hunger Games'

I saw movement in the corner of my eye and looked across the kitchen to see Zane half naked.

"Jesus, put a shirt on," I said looking away.

"I'm not Jesus. And, no I don't think I will." He said.

I smiled sweetly and he sat down on the chair by the counter. I couldn't help but stare at his perfect abs- What are you thinking about Grace? You hate him!

The popcorn beeped that it was finished and I turned back around to get it out, but a hand reached out from behind me and got it instead.

"Our microwave over cooks things, its going to be really hot, and probably burnt," He mumbled as he got it out.

He was so close to me and I could feel him on my back. If only he could see my face right now, I'd look like a strawberry.

He dumped it out in the trash can and handed me a new bag. I put it back in the microwave.

"What time should I set it on?" I asked as he sat back down in the chair eating a sand which.

"One minute and thirty seconds," He mumbled throuh a mouthful of food.

I nodded and turned back around to press the buttons of the microwave.

The room became silent and I looked out the window inti the dark night. The breeze was coming in and swept my hair in my face.

"I'm sorry," Zane said breaking the silence.

"For what?" I asked.

"For being and idiot. I was rude to you and I don't know why, and now, you know, with what happened I feel like I was being a asshole. I'm so sorry,"

I looked at him in disbelief and my eyes started watering at the thought of my sister. I whiped then away and the popcorn beeped.

I turned around and wiped the tears away as I got the popcorn out

"Whats wrong?" He whispered. His breath tickled my ear and he was suddenly so close to me.

I turned around to grab a bowl and he grabbed my wrist, "We moved the bowls."

"To where?"

"I don't know. I wont tell you until you tell me."

I looked up at him and he smirked, I looked back down at the ground, suddenly the wooden floors were really interesting.

"You can tell me," He whispered again.

I looked up at him, "I'm just worried. Okay?"

He let go of my wrist,"Okay. The bowls are down there."
