Humphrey and Kate woke up t the sound of Eve knocking on the bedroom door. " It's time to get up dearies, you have school today. " " Hmmkay." came Humphrey's groggy reply.

Humphrey sat up in the bed and slowly got up, careful not to wake Kate up before he could get a shower. " Mphrey? " ' Crap!' he thought. " Yeah? " he asked cautiously. " Where are you going? " He hesitated before he responded with " Um, I was going to take a shower. "Kate perked up at this. " Oh, in that case, I'll join you. " she said with a grin in her voice.

Humphrey couldn't believe what he just heard. " What? " " I said I will join you. " Humphrey didn't know what to say. he turned around and saw that Kate was out of bed and was wide awake.

She gave a cute little yawn and stretched, with a little smirk ad she arched her back, giving Humphrey a full view of her chest, not that he didn't already see it when he turned around.

He just blushed and looked away. Kate giggled and grabbed his hand and proceeded to pull him to the bathroom. She close the door and locked it. She then proceeded to turn the shower on. While she was waiting on the water to heat up she got two towels out of the bathroom cabinet.

When she turned around she found that Humphrey was blushing. "Why are you just standing there? Get undressed. " Kate asked. He mumbled something unintelligible. " What? " Kate asked, confused.

" Nothing " Humphrey said as he started to unbutton his jeans. He got his jeans off and started to take his boxers off, but hesitated. " What's wrong? " Kate asked

He just sighed and took his boxers off, with a face so red you'd think he was a Weasley. " Nothing " he grumbled.

Kate just stared at what was in front of her. He was massive. She shook the thought off and turned back to the shower. She pulled open the shower door and was greeted by a billowing wave of steam. " Okay, shower's ready. " at this Humphrey nodded and followed Kate into the shower and closed the door behind him.

The shower was a tad bit too small for two people, so they were pressed against each other. Humphrey had to look somewhere else, anywhere else, or lil' Humphrey would decide to join the party, and that wouldn't be good in this situation.

Kate studied him as his eyes were darting around the shower, but never fell on her. She was both shocked and sad, did he really not like her? She just turned around and let the water wash over her. She started lathering her arms with soap as a single tear ran down her cheek.

Humphrey Waited until she was done washing herself, when she was, he grabbed the bottle of soap from the shelf and put some in his hands and rubbed them together.

He hesitated as he reached for Kate's back. Was he really about to do what he think he was. Yes, he was. He put his hands on Kate's back and started rubbing.

He finished rubbing her back and turned her around so the water would rinse the soap off her back and saw that she had been crying. He just stared at her before saying something.

He knew what she was thinking, and mentally kicked himself for how he was acting. " Look, I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I really do like you, in fact I'm in love with you. It's just that I- Well I don't really do well with girls, and this.. " he gestured to what was going on in the shower. " ..this is a whole new paying field for me. I would have never imagined that I would be doing anything like this. Hell, I would have never imagined that I would have a girlfriend that's as beautiful as you. "

When he said all of that, he ran a hand over his face and gave a big sigh. " He felt a hand on his and took his hand off of his face to see a smiling Kate. " Humphrey, it's okay. I understand, this is new to you. We can get through this together. You should ease up a little. " Humphrey just chuckled and started washing himself, and turned around so Kate could wash his back. He sighed in content, it felt nice.

Kate thought to herself as she was washing Humphrey's back ' Jeez, he really has quite a bit of muscle. I wonder how I didn't notice this before. He easily towers over me, and to have this much muscle, jeez. It's a wonder he doesn't have girls practically falling head over heels for him. ' She absently traced the bulging muscles on his back. She was snapped out of her stupor by Humphrey.

" Um.. Kate? what are you doing? "

She stopped what she was doing and said " Oh, sorry, I got lost there for a minute."

Humphrey just shook his head and got out of the shower. He was followed by Kate.

He got a towel and quickly wrapped it around himself. Kate did the same, and the two of them walked back to their room.


Humphrey and Kate walked downstairs to eat before they left. They found Eve and Lilly siting at the table eating. Humphrey grabbed a bowl from the cabinet, poured himself some cereal, and sat down at the table and began eating. Kate only ate an apple that she grabbed from the fridge, so she was finished eating before Humphrey. While she was waiting on Humphrey she took out her phone and was trying to get a picture of him without him noticing, because he hated when people take pictures of him. Apparently he noticed because, as Kate was zooming in on him he looked up at her and glared.

" That wouldn't be a good idea." He said before he took a bite.

When he saw her with a pouty on her face, couldn't help but smile. " Okay, fine. Just one though."
She immediately lost the pout and brought her phone back up, found the right angle, and took a picture.

When Humphrey finished his food, himself, Kate, and Lilly all piled into his car and they drove off for school, although Humphrey got lost a couple of times due to the fact that he was new to the area, but that didn't stop Kate and Lilly's incessant gripping.

Eventually they found the school and Humphrey parked the car. Before he got out he took a deep breath, pulled down his sleeves, and looked at Kate. She was beautiful. she made him feel like he could accomplish anything. even getting through long days of school. He unlocked the doors and got out of the car. the girls got out a couple minutes after him, which made him curious. He shrugged it off and waited for them to give the O.K. that they were ready to head in.

Humphrey had to go to the front office to get his schedule. Kate told him she had to get to class and that she would see him later, And with a kiss she walked to her first class.

Humphrey waled into the office and saw a bitter looking lady at the front desk. he hesitated before he walked up to her and said " Hi, I'm new here, and I was wondering if I could register and sign up for classes. " The lady just gave him a bored look and rolled her eyes, muttering something like " Of course you are." She shuffled over to a filing cabinet and pulled out a slip of paper and handed it to Humphrey. " Fill this out and bring it back to me when you are finished. "

A couple minutes later Humphrey walked up to the lady at the front desk and handed her the completed form. Next, was class scheduling.


A/N I am sorry for the short chapter guys. I have been short on time. I hope the next one will be much longer than this one. I also hope you enjoy this one, although there was a bit of a cliff hanger. Until next time.
