So, personally I don't think this is the best chapter. But I've had a horrible day. And I wasn't really in the mood to write at all. But I had said I would update at least once a week on the weekends so here it is. Reviews are nice. They make my day better.


Thump. Thump. Thump.

Kimiko's heart pounded against her chest as she stared down at him, frozen. She mentally cursed herself for wearing such short sleep shorts, along with the low v-cut tank top. ' Bedrock ' by Young Money blasted from his headphones that had fallen out of his ears upon impact. She felt his chest being pushed against her's, and she realized he was shirtless, just wearing sweatpants. Their legs were intertwined. Hips against hips. Centimeters separated their faces as they laid there in shock.

He was dirty, her mind slowly registered as her eyes moved across his features. Mud was on his face, mixed in with some sweat. She noticed that his arms were dirty, and his hair was tousled, as if he had been working out and sweating as his muscles were used...Soccer, it clicked. He had soccer game earlier. That why she hadn't met him yet.

He inhaled again, breathing in the scent of japanese cherry blossom, as he gazed into her crystal blue eyes. Saying he was surprised was an understatement.

" Um, Hi?" He spoke, his eyes searching through hers, as if he was looking for an answer.

His words shook her back into reality, and it suddenly hit her, that he could probably feel every inch of her body pressed against his. She felt her face grow hot, but her body wouldn't move to get off of him, no matter how hard she tried.

She heard a click come from behind her and a door shut.

" Is everything okay out here? I heard a crash and I..."

Kimiko's body responded then instantly. She jumped up, and it was almost as if he moved with her. The two of them separating and standing. She twirled around to face Pedro, who stood there with an unreadable look on his face.

" It's not what it looks like! I was coming out from the shower and I wasn't paying attention and we hit and crashed and it isn't what it looks like!" She blurted out.

" Who are you?"

She turned back around to the newer brother, noting that like everyone else, he was taller than her. He was actually quite taller than her, and as his emerald eyes looked down at her, she felt her face heating up again.

" I..I uh"

" This is Kimiko." She heard Pedro answer for her. Pedro moved to stand next to her, being slightly higher than his brother.

"Kim, this is Raimundo, My other brother. Rai, this is Letti's best friend. Remember dad told us she was coming to live here"

Raimundo stood silent for a second before he spoke again, his eyes never leaving her. She shifted as his eyes traced her body, as if he was taking it all in.

" I thought that was next week."

" Nope, she moved in earlier. Heavy boxes too. Can't wait to find out what you brought girl." Pedro joked.

" Yeah, I'm uh, I'm pretty tired from the move... I uh, I'm just gonna go to bed now. Nice meeting you Raimundo." She spoke quietly, before shuffling off to the room she now shared with Letti.


Raimundo watched her go, his eyes never leaving her. As soon as her bedroom door shut behind her, he felt a sudden pain in his shoulder.

" Ow, what the hell Pedro!" Raimundo questioned.

" Don't you even think about it." Pedro warned.

" What? Think about what? Why the hell did you hit me?"

" Don't you 'what' me Rai, I know that look. Don't even think about it. She is Letti's best friend. Don't you friken dare."

" Don't what? I'm not gonna do anything Pedro!"

" Oh please I come out here and shes on top of you. You honestly expect me to believe that didn't leave some sort of thought in your mind."

" I didn't purposely make it so she would land on me Pedro! It just happened!"

" I saw the way you just looked at her, Rai."

" Oh, Big deal, I looked at her, so what? I came out here to shower, and got tackled by somebody. Don't tell me you wouldn't look if some girl just randomly landed on you."

Pedro paused for a second before continuing.

" Fine, I would. But don't you dare think about doing anything with her. She is here for Letti. She is friends with Letti. That makes her forbidden territory."

Raimundo just shook his head and laugh.

" Whatever, Pedro."

" Just go shower, Rai. It's late."


Raimundo just walked off towards the bathroom. He walked in and was instantly surrounded by the smell of japanese cherry blossom again. For some reason, just smelling that again made his breathing shake. He felt his heartbeat speed up in his chest again before shaking his head.

No. It was simple as that. She was Letti's best friend. He wasn't going to do anything with her. He couldn't get involved with his baby sisters best friend. It was just wrong. No matter how cute she looked or how great it felt with her pushed against him. It wouldn't happen. Besides, all of Letti's friends are normally insanely annoying, or stupid. She was probably just like Jessie or Kylie.

He turned the shower on, and pulled his headphones out of the iPod so the music played on speaker. He shook the thoughts of her out of his head, before getting in to let the water wash the dirt off.


Down the hall, Kimiko was just beginning to fall asleep in her new bed. Within moments, she was fast asleep, dreaming of the second youngest Pedrosa brother.


Guess what...Reviews make me happy...even a simple 'continue'...just so I know people care. lol
