I know these are all excuses, but I am so sorry. So please enjoy this update. I will try to upload faster. But I won't promise anything, I've got a feeling, a heartbreak is coming again.

Please enjoy!

Chapter 9: Tickling

The bell rang, signing the end of the last period.

Drew grabbed his books and turned around to find May standing behind him, fiddling with her fingers anxiously.

"Well, are you coming or not?" he asked. May looked up with big eyes: "You were serious?" she asked.

Drew smirked, "Can't remember when I haven't been serious about anything in my life," he said.

May followed him outside and they walked over the same pavement as they did the day before. "That's not true you know, you have been joking around with me," she said.

Drew smirked again, "Who said I wasn't serious back then?" he asked. May pouted and Drew sniggered.

Suddenly she turned around and started waving to somebody. Glancing back, Drew saw that she waved at her friends. They all smiled exept for that Paul. The said boy glared at Drew instead and Drew had a feeling he wasn't trusted.

"Sorry," May mumbled. Drew looked amused at her: "For waving goodbye to your friends?" he laughed. May huffed, "I don't have to put up with you crap," she muttered angrily.

Drew grinned at her and kept walking, "No you don't" he said, a bit too solemn.

They had arrived at his house again, and Drew opened the doors.

May punched him on his arm, but to Drew, who was getting used getting punched it was no more but a small pat. "You know that that didn't hurt me one bit?" he laughed while he fell down on the comfortable couch.

May stood there awhile completely fuming. Drew smirked at her as proof he had won.

Or so he thought.

May suddenly pounded upon him while grinning evily, pushing him of the couch and one moment later Drew realized she just did unconsciously what many others had tried before. She had found his weakness.

He was apparently ticklish.

She tickled in his side as he laughed and couldn't do anything, "May, s-stop!" he figured to say through his laughter.

But May did not stop, "Say you're sorry!!" she commanded him as she continued Drew's torture. "N-No," Drew said, his stomach began to hurt of laughter.

He seriously couldn't remember when he had laughed this hard before.

May tickled him even harder. She was laughing hard as well and seemed to have no intention for stopping, "Say you're sorry!" she commanded again.

Drew continued laughing as tears streamed over his face. He seriously wasn't capable of any sort of resisting, "No," he laughed.

In a moment when May reduced her tickling for a split second, Drew got his chance and pulled her of him, turning her so she was now underneath him, and he pressed her hands against the soft white carpet.

"You really thought that was funny?" he asked her playfully. Truthfully he himself thought it had been fun: in fact he hadn't had such fun in years. He felt for the first time sixteen again. And it did make him realize he missed it.

May was still giggling softly, a smile plastered on her face, "Yeah, I kinda did," she said softly.

Then she had another fit of giggles. "What?" Drew asked suspiciously. May smiled widely, "I just never heard you laugh," she said. Drew stared at her, still keeping her hands in place.

"You have a nice laugh,"

Drew suppressed a blush, "I-idiot, don't just say things like that."

Then May noticed the position they were in, and realized if anybody would see them, they would definitely get the wrong idea. She blushed and looked away.

Drew also suddenly realized how the girl must be feeling right now and climbed off her. He started to feel more and more like he didn't want to bring May to LD.

Heck; he didn't want to bring her away at all, but to hold her close and never let go.

"Hey Drew, what was it that you wanted me to come over for?" May asked. Drew felt blood leaving his face, what could he say now? 'I really can't say; "yeah, I was ordered to give you to some creepy guy, but now I don't want to,"' Drew furiously thought.

"I-I just wanted to give you something," he said instead. 'Saved for now,' he thought.

May looked at him curiously, "You also could have at school, why didn't you?" she asked.

Drew walked over to his collection DVD's. He now thanked god he had once received a mission from a cheerleader coach and a thanks he had gotten, besides his usual fee, one of the rarest DVD's with movements and shows.

Personally he had never watched it himself, "Hm, it's too valuable for that. Besides, I wouldn't want to take it back from your cold life-less fingers," he joked.

May widened her eyes, wondering what it possibly could be.

"Ah, here it is!" Drew said. He walked back to May and gave her the disc. May's eyes widened.

"But...this...how?" she stuttered. Drew shrugged; "Some connection gave it to me, but I have never watched it. I figured you would like it," he said.

Suddenly he felt May's arms around his neck once again: "Thank you so much Drew. At first I thought you were a heartless jerk..."

"Why thank you," Drew interrupted.

"...but you're so nice." she said. "I take it you're happy with it?" Drew asked grinning.

May nodded furiously: "Yeah, you have no idea how happy you have made me with this," she said, her eyes shimmering with joy.

Then suddenly she looked embarrassed "Do you mind if I go home? I really want to see it," she asked.

Drew shrugged: "You may watch it here if you want," he said. "Really!!!" May exclaimed. Drew nodded and suddenly he felt two arms around his waist. He had the feeling this happened multiple times before.

"Thank you so much Drew, for everything you've done so far. I don't know how I ever could repay you," she cried.

Drew grinned as he unwrapped her arms. "I'd better show you how the stuff works then," he said. May blinked: "Huh? Why?"

Drew smirked and pushed on one of the buttons of the remote-control he had grabbed before. A huge TV appeared from the wall along with all the devices someone could wish for. "This is why," Drew said smug.

"It's huge!!" May called out. "Where the heck could you have bought this?" she asked.

Drew smirked: "I didn't; it's made for this house exceptionally," he said. He didn't feel the need to explain it to her so he just showed her how she had to use the DVD-player and the TV. May looked like a 4-year old kid who had just gotten his first train.

In no time May was watching her precious DVD and Drew smiled softly. He wanted to back out of it all. He now needed to tell LD he could fuck off with his contract. To Drew, the deal was off.

He sat down on the kitchen island and read his mail on the laptop there. It was all not that interesting until he saw he had received an urgent message. He had just received it.

It said: the contract stands, Drew. Bring her to me or I'll come for her myself and then I'll take care of you as well: personally.

Drew was stunned and frightened. This was not human. It was like LD had read his mind; just like that.

And as much Drew didn't want to: he had no choice but to obey to the wishes of the customer.

As he watched May cheerful move with the screen he could not help but feel utterly destroyed.

Please review. It's such a hard thing, when you think nobody reads.
