I yawned and shifted in my bed. I hate when mom and dad go on business trips, leaving me home alone in an empty, dark probably ghost-infested mansion… I shook my head fiercely. Get a grip Courtney! There are no such things as ghost. There are no such things as ghost. I think, mentally slapping myself. I am not weak. Nothing can scare me, nothing…

VBBBBRRRRRRRRRR

I screamed, clutching my silk bed sheets and pulling them over my head. What the heck was that?

VBBBBRRRRRRRRRR

My eyes widened and my heart sped up. Crap! What was that? I peeped over my bed sheets to look around my room. A bright object caught my eye on my beside table. I sighed with relief. It's only my phone. I grabbed it and saw that I had two missed calls, both from my boyfriend, Duncan. I smile to myself. What's he doing up this late? Probably busy being a criminal. I call him back and he picks up the phone straight away.

"Hello?" he sounded breathless.

"Hey ogre, you called?"

"Hey Courtney. So what's a major princess like you doing up this late?" I could almost see him grinning.

"My parents are out on a business trip for a week. Anyway, what are YOU doing up this late? Let me guess, robbing a bank?"

"Haha, very funny Courtney. Actually I am out doing something inappropriate…"

I sighed. "What did you do now Duncan?"

"Nothing much… went to this party at Geoff's place but his folks got pretty pissed at the state of the house so we all had leave…"

"And?"

"I kind of lost my house key at his place"

"So go get it back stupid!"

"Are you kidding? They practically kicked me in the ass as I was leaving!"

I sighed. "Ok then call your parents to open the door"

Duncan chuckled. "Small problem. My parents are away for the weekend"

"Duncan! How could you be so thoughtless? Anyway, why are you telling me this?"

"Because I was kind of hoping with your parents away, I could maybe…"

I knew where he was heading with this. "No, Duncan. Now way"

"Oh, come on Courtney! It's like I'm going to rob your house and then rape you!"

"Knowing you Duncan, theres no telling"

"Please?"

"No"

"Please?"

"No!"

"Please?"

I sighed. We could go on all night. I guess having Duncan around wouldn't be so bad… Being alone in this mansion is kind of creeping me out and having Duncan's warm but also annoying company wouldn't be so bad…

"Fine"

"Yes! Thanks princess you are a lifesaver! Ok, open your bedroom door"

"Wait, What?"

"Just open it!"

"Fine, see you later". I hung up the phone and crept across my room towards my door. I took in a deep breath and opened. I groaned when I saw Duncan standing there smiling. He wore his usual yellow under shirt with a black one imprinted with a skull and cross bones and baggy shorts along with worn out red sneakers. His bright green mowhawk hung limply over his crystal teal eyes, looking incredibly spooky. He looked me up and down and put an arm around my shoulders, still grinning cockily. "Hey, princess. And might I say you're looking hot this fine evening!"

A blush spreads across my tanned skin as I realize I'm only wearing a clingy vest top and tiny shorts. I shrug his arm off of me.

"Duncan! Stop being such a perv. How did you get in the house anyway?"

Duncan smirked as he wrapped his muscled arms around my waist. "I'm not stupid princess; I know where you keep the spare key".

I rolled my eyes and kissed him on the cheek gently. "Whatever. I'm going to the bathroom." I walk out of my room purposely swaying my hips just to wind Duncan up because I know he's watching and go into the bathroom. I turn on the tap in the sink and I pour cold water over my face. I look into the mirror and my own sleepy reflection stares back at me. I have dark circles underneath my eyes and hair is all over the place, wild like an untamed lion's mane. I sigh. Gosh I look a mess. No point trying to fix it now then. I shrug and walk back into my room.

Duncan leans across my bed only in his black silk boxers, patterned with skulls. He sits up and grins at me as I walk in. I blush furiously and gasp.

"Duncan! What are you doing in my bed?"

He smirks, propping himself on his elbow. "Well I have to sleep somewhere princess"

I cringed at his cheesy pet name but let it slide. I walked over to my bed and shoved him so I could sit down. "I know that. But you can't sleep in my bed! Go to one of the guest rooms".

"I don't know where they are"

"Well then I'll show you. Come on" I say getting up. Duncan sighs and grabs my arm gently pulling me back down.

"Court, it's late and we're both tired. Just let it go". I frown, glaring at him. He's just loving this isn't he? I sigh and climb into my bed and turn my back to Duncan. I am blushing so much now I can't bear to face him. He scooches over to me and wraps his cold arms around my body firmly, pressing his well toned chest against my back. My cheeks flush red and my heart beats faster. I snuggle up to him and breath in his musky scent. Smelt like danger, smelt like Duncan. He kisses my cheek buries his face into my neck.

"Night Courtney"

"Night ogre". I can hear him chuckling and I smile to myself as I drift into sleep. I felt his heart beat against my warm back and I snuggled in closer to him enjoying his warm company. I always felt safe and secure with Duncan. Nothing could ever happen to me when I was with him.

This must be what it's like, I thought to myself as I soaked up Duncan's warmth and strength. This must be what it's like, to have someone who's perfection.
