She slept like crap, there was no other word for it, every time she closed her eyes she dreamed of the steamy kiss in her living room. She started having an internal argument with herself, as she was getting ready for work.

She needed to run in the other direction, she needed someone that was safe and stable. She needed to think about her future and be responsible in her relationship choices, she had a teenager looking to her as a role model. Chibs was none of those things, he wasn't a responsible choice, but damn it, she never got to be wild, she had to be a grown up, way to young. She'd been taking care of Alex since the day she was born, she loved her mother, but Charlie Williams had never taken responsibility for anything. No, she had to stay away from him, she couldn't go down that road.

She but on some make up and pulled her hair back into a french twist, she walked into her bedroom to look through her closet to find something to wear. She pulled out a long shirt dress, leggings, and a pair of boots. She got dressed and knocked on Alex's door. There was no answer, she slowly opened the door and peeked in, she wasn't in her bed. She heard Alex and Chibs in the kitchen talking and laughing.

She walked into the kitchen. "Good morning El!" Alex said brightly.

"Morning Alex, Morning Chibs." She walked over to the coffee pot, she opened the cabinet and stood on her tip toes to pull out her travel mug. Chibs was behind her, reaching up, to get it for her.

"I'll get that for you." He reached up in the cabinet and pulled out the mug. "You look nice today!" He whispered. She felt his warm breathe on her ear, which caused her to shiver. She poured herself a cup of coffee, and walked towards the living room getting her things together.

"Alex, you about ready to go?"

"Yeah!" She got up and left the kitchen heading towards her bedroom.

Chibs came out of the kitchen, looking her up and down. He wanted to take her hair down and run his hands through it, pulling her face to his and kissing her. He really wanted to pick her up and carry her to the bedroom and make her his. He couldn't stop thinking about the kisses they had shared, the one at Gemma's house, he thought he had messed up when she had slapped him and pushed him away, but then here in the living room, she let him kiss her.

She looked at him. "What are you looking at?"

"I was just thinking, that I should take you and Alex to school."

"Don't be ridiculous! Sean, is no where near here! I think Clay is over reacting."

"No arguments!"

"Fine! I'm too tired to fight you."

"Alex, let's get a move on it!"

Alex came out of her bedroom with her backpack and headed towards the door. "Are you taking us to school Uncle Chibs?"

"Aye, Lass!" Eliot rolled her eyes, Alex has embraced the life really fast, everyone was an uncle or an aunt.

Alex headed out to Chibs truck. "Door seat!" Eliot rolled her eyes as she walked towards the door. Chibs grabbed her arm, he pulled her close, she tried to pull away from him. He put his hand around her neck and pulled her face to his and kissed her. She didn't want to but her body had a mind of it's own and she kissed him back. He released his hold, her senses were reeling.

"Let's go!" He smiled at her.

She locked the door and walked to his truck.

Damn him and his kisses! She couldn't think straight, when he kissed her, every single thought went out the window. How could she possibly stay away from him, if he was babysitting her and Alex! His muscular thigh was pressing up against hers, and she was having very, dirty thoughts about what she wanted to do with him. Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! You can not go there! Sweet baby Jesus! The ride to school was taking an eternity! His strong masculine smell was surrounding her, she was going to walk home if he picked them up at the end of the school day.

He pulled into the school parking lot and pulled in front of the school, Alex jumped out. "See you 5th period!" She joined a group of friends standing in front of the school.

Eliot went to slide across the seat to get out, Chibs hand clamped down on her thigh. "Someone will pick you up after school."

"Alex has cheerleading practice, I'll stay in my room and grade papers. We'll be ready at 5."

"I don't think that's safe."

"We'll be fine. Alex was lucky to get a spot on the squad. Don't make her give it up."

He looked at her, he ran one finger down her face and traced the outline of her lips. "Someone will be around, making sure she is safe."

"Fine." She slid out of the truck and walked into the school to her classroom. He watched her go, into the school.

Her morning classes went smoothly, she walked into the teachers lounge and sat down at a table to eat lunch.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?"

She looked up and smiled at the nervous man. "Sure!"

"Hi, I'm Travis Daniels. I teach History."

"I'm Eliot Williams, I teach Literature."

They ate lunch together and got to know each other, they had a lot in common. He walked her to her classroom, which was just down the hall from his. He was a really nice man, she got ready for her afternoon classes. The afternoon classes were a little more difficult, but she remained in control of her classroom. The final bell of the day rang, she was relieved, she dismissed the class. She let her hair down, leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and relaxed.

"How was your afternoon?" Travis asked.

"It was a little shaky, but I manged. How was yours?"

"I have honors classes in the afternoon, they want to be there."

"My honors classes are in the morning."

They sat and talked for two hours, she didn't get any grading done, or prep work done that afternoon, she was going to be busy that night. She backed her things up at five and headed to the parking lot. He walked her out, she looked around the lot, and didn't see Alex or a ride.

"Where's your car?" He asked.

"A friend gave me a ride this morning."

"Oh!" He looked like someone just kicked his dog. "You have a boyfriend?"

"No, a friend gave me a ride."

He smiled at her and touched her arm, she heard Chibs truck pulling into the lot. "There's my ride." She smiled at him. He touched her arm one last time.

"See you tomorrow. We can eat lunch together again."

"I'd like that." She waved at him and climbed into Chibs truck. Alex was already sitting in the truck.

Chibs watched the man touch her twice, he felt jealous. It was innocent, he just touched her arm, but he didn't like it at all. He wanted to jump out of the truck, rip the man's arm off, and beat him bloody senseless with it. He watched Eliot cross the parking lot and climb into his truck, the man she'd been talking to keep his eyes on her until she climbed into the truck. Chibs clinched his jaw, he didn't like the way he'd looked at her.

"Why were you talking to Mr. Daniels?" Alex asked.

"We ate lunch together today. He walked me out to the parking lot."

"Come on El, he's nerdy. Time to broaden your horizons. Get a little wild!"

She closed her eyes. "I'm going to take advice from my 15 year old sister. By the way, I will be locking you in a convent..."

"I know on top a hill, surrounded by a moat, with sharks, you've been saying that since I was ten!" Chibs let out a laugh.

Chibs pulled into the drive, she got out of the truck and walked to the front door, she unlocked it and went in. She put down her purse and pack, walked back to the bedroom and changed her clothes. She came back into the living room, Chibs and Alex were sitting on the couch talking, they were talking and smiling.

"Why do I have a feeling you two are up to no good?"

"Who us?" Alex asked innocently.

"Alexandria Quinn Williams, I know that evil, up to no good smile. Fess up, now!"

"Geez! I thought we could go out for pizza!"

"I can't I have a ton of school work to do."

"Come on El...don't be a party pooper!"

Chibs just sat on the couch looking at her. "Can we just order in?" She asked.

"Fine!" She grabbed a menu and ordered it. "It will be here in thirty minutes."

Eliot had a slight headache and neck ache, she started rolling her neck around and rubbing the back of her neck, trying to rub out the kinks. Chibs walked up behind her and gently started massaging the back of her neck, it felt amazing, she might have let out a little moan. She defiantly let out a little sigh, she leaned back against him, she was relaxed. He turned her around, he tilted her face up, his hands were in her hair.

"I like your hair down."

He lowered his head down and kissed her, slowly at first. She wrapped her arms around his neck, his went around her back pulling him closer to him. His kiss deepened, she opened her mouth, their tongues met and teased each other. She felt like her body was on fire, her legs felt like they might give out. Her brain was screaming to stop, pull away, dangerous, but her body was ignoring all the warnings. It felt wonderful to be in his arms, she wanted to do more then just kiss him, and that was saying something, she'd never felt that way before.

They heard a clearing voice. "Hmmm guys, could you stop sucking face long enough to pay for the pizza." They broke apart, Eliot turned to get money out of her purse.

'I've got it, Lass." He walked over to the door and paid for the pizza.

Eliot glared at her sister. "I swear to God, Alex. You need to figure out how to control your mouth!"

Alex laughed. "Way to be wild, El!"
