I don't own the packed to the rafters characters

Hidden Love

chapter 1

She had hated him, loathed his very existence then slept with him. Rachael had finally given into the sexual tension and started to see Jake, only to end up falling head over heels for him.

Jake had finally won the girl of his dreams, sure it had taken time and patience also endured her evil stares when he saved the day, but he now had her.

Now they were in a happy relationship, well as happy as one can be when no one else knows about it. Rachael dreaded the moment that her mother found out, Julie had been trying to get them together for the last few weeks and everyone still thought Rachael hated jakes guts. But she would find out sooner or later for it was hard to keep her secret safe when she was sneaking home late at night, Rachael was back home living with her parents but then so was her brother Nathan and his wife Sammy.

It was the first time they had ended up at Rachael's house, now in her room not making a sound they mucked around on her bed, Jake kissing her neck as she slipped off his t-shirt. But to Rachael's absolute horror she heard her mother's footsteps as she walked up the hall way and too the door. She sat bolt upright, accidently hiting heads with Jake. They both gasped at the sudden smashing of skulls.

'Racheal?' Julies voice sounded from the front door.

'Crap, quick quick' She pulled Jake from the bed and to her window

'Your not expecting me to climb out are you?' He asked with a slight grin on his face.

'Of course, hurry up' she moaned and throe his black t-shirt at him. He rolled his eyes and then jumped out her window breaking his fall on the bush outside.

'Bye' Racheal whispered and went to dive under her doona before her mum came in.

'Hey, wheres my good bye kiss?' He asked with a grin

'There' She blew him one and added ' Go catch it, see you tomorrow' Then she quickly closed her window and jumped onto her bed. She closed her eyes just in time, Julie quietly opened her daughters door and looked in. There was her daughter sound asleep, still in her cloths. Julie tip toed over and slipped her shoes off then pulled a blanket over her, kissed her cheek and whispered

'Sleep well' then snuck from the room, closeing the door behind her.

Rachael opened her eyes and let out her held breath. That had been close.

Rachael woke late on Saturday, she looked around her room and saw jacks jacket. She'd have to apologize for making him freeze last night after she had pushed him out her window. She got up and looked in the mirror, her blonde hair still had a silver clip in it from her date last night.

She yanked it out and sighed. Then she went out to the kitchen.

'Morning Rach' Sammy said as she poured her a cup of tea.

'I love you' Rachael said as her sister in-law handed her a cup.

'How was your da..'

'Shhhh' Rachael looked around quickly to see who else was listening.

'Don't worry, their all outside, your mum's making everyone help clean up the front garden'

'That sounds about right'

'So...'Sammy prompted

'It was nice' Rachael had told Sammy, she was like a sister to her and she trusted her with her life. Also she'd seen her kissing Jake in the shed.

'Oh you're up darling' Julie came into the kitchen with a straw hat on her head and a pair of gardening gloves in her hands.

'Yeah' Rachael said giving her mum a hug.

'Well as soon as you've had breakfast your needed outside'

'Ok mum' Rachael grabbed a piece of toast and went back to her room. She changed into a clean set of clothes and checked her phone. One text message from Jake.

What you doing today?

She texted back

Nothing. Mums making us clean up the yard.

She waited for a reply but after a few minutes released he was probably still asleep. She finished her tea then went outside to help. After trimming the rose bush and lemon grass Rachael heard her mum calling her over. She walked over to the bush outside her window and asked what she wanted.

'Oh, Rach do you know how all these brances got broken?'

Rachael stared at the twigs Jake had broken last night and shook her head.

'No, maybe a koala fell off the roof or something, maybe dad does' and she quickly went inside to hide her red face.

'A koala?' Julie said with a wide smile on her face.
