I don't own these characters the wonderful Rachel Caine does

Claire awoke with a start, it was dark outside, and she looked at the watch around her wrist. 3am.... she began to turn round but couldn't there was something soft and warm in her way, oh Shane! She had forgotten they had been in here earlier. She reached over to her bedside table and grabbed her pink iPod... the boys had given her it if she did the laundry. Claire thought back to that memory.

She was down in the basement listening to it waiting for the laundry to finish. It must have finished, she jumped off the machine and opened the laundry machines door... oh crap... everything was dyed pink...

She heard eve's boots clunking down the stairs to the basement

"Hey Claire bear, you doing the lau-"Eve said but then stopped as she saw that everything was dyed pink.

"Yupp" Claire said "and dyed it pink..." Claire looked at the laundry and spotted the red sock... the culprit...

"Oh that little sucker huh..." Eve said "oh, that's mine... shhh do tell anyone it was my sock!"

Claire Giggled at the thought...

"Humph" Shane grunted "the hell? Oh Claire, what you doin it's..." he grabbed Claires wrist to look at her watch "3am, whatcha doin awake?" he said while pulling her in to an embrace and kissing her softly on the lips.

"Couldn't sleep" Claire gasped, and went back to kissing Shane.

"Hey!" Shane protested "it's not good to take advantage of a half sleeping guy you know!"

"Don't even pretend you don't like it" Claire replied

"yeah well that's true" he said, and rolled Claire on to her back, and him on top of her, claires hands where round his neck and one of Shanes hands were supporting his weight while the other was on claires waist.

Claire let go gasping for breath and whispered, "how bout we..." she left the end of the sentence, surely Shane would know, as she began to remove her cami... she giggled as Shane removed his pink shirt.

"Laugh all you want you done it! Stupid red sock!" Shane said as he went back to kissing Claire, then he started moving the kissing down across Claires chest and down her stomach, he stopped at the waistband of her shorts, and pulled them off.

Claire's muscles went all hot and funny when he did this to her.

"Pants of Collins, so we're even" Claire said as she snapped out of her little world. Shane removes his pants and continued kiss down her thigh. Claire pulled him back up to kiss her and rolled him over so she could straddle him. She continued the kiss, as Shane worked the clasps on her bra. Claire pretty much stopped thinking about then.

"Hello hello baby you called

Wha-wha-what did you say huh?
You're breakin' up on me
Sorry I cannot hear you

Eve walked into kitchen at that point " Yo, gaga happy over there, off! You know i don't like her!" she yelled to claire

" no way eve i make breakfast i pick the radio station!" claire replied.

" so Claire a little birdie told me its your nineteenth birthday next week?" Eve said to claire.

" yeah but you guys don't go all out like you did for my 18th!" claire said, then she yelled " Breakfast is ready move your butts!" at that she her the thump up stairs and the boys racing down the stairs.

"oh look here come the scavengers! Hey guys a little lighter on the feet, you sounded like baby elephants!" eve commented as shane and Michael were fighting on who was going through the doorway first " stop it you's two and grow up..."

"look" Michael said as-matter-of-factly " im the vampire its obvious whos goinf through first" as he pushed shane out of the way and entered the kitchen.

"dude... not cool!" shane sulked.

"well..." claire began " its movie afternoon guys and i have the perfect movie! Don't i eve ?!?!"

"your damn right CB... brilliant" she grinned " since you had us watching... uh what was it ? last week... anyway its a suprise.!"

"last week we watched die hard," Michael answered

"oh yeah that" claire and eve said in unison.

Around a hour later Claire called everyone to come and watch the movie.

"what is it?" Michael asked as shane thumped down on the couch next to claire and claire leaned in against him as she pressed play on the remote. Eve sat on the floor at the armchair and Michael sat in the arm chair.

"wait and you will see Mr. Impatient!" eve told him but Michael gave her a puppy dog face and Eve gave in " ok its new moon, you know the sequel to twilight! Omg i love this movie, how hot are Robert pattinson and taylor lautner in this movie CB?"

" Ho-o-o-t" claire yelped as shane started to tickle her " n-n-ot as h-h-ot as y-you shane, n-now quit t-tickling me!" he stopped as the movie began.....
