Baby, after all, it's only natural

Kenzie decided her best course of action would be to find Jeremy and continue trying to have fun, despite Damon's stupidness. After texting him and searching for him, he finally texted back saying sorry, he went home he just couldn't deal anymore and she didn't really blame him. She finally decided it was best if she gave up too and went home, there really wasn't anyone she wanted to talk to anyways.
She was crossing the parking lot when the noise of a scuffle reached her ears. She let out a small groan, wondering how it was that she kept finding herself in these situations and wouldn't it be better if she just walked away and let whomever it was deal with it on their own.
Seemed simple enough but the fight had moved right in front of her and she recognized Tyler as one of the guys fighting and Mason trying to break it up. The guy Tyler was fighting attacked Mason, punching him and pushing him over the hood of the car. Tyler speared the guy and the two began fighting again. Kenzie wondered if she should call someone or see if they would stop if a girl got involved when Mason jumped over the car and the unknown guy on all fours, stopping in front of Tyler.
"Your eyes." Tyler said and Kenzie looked at Mason, her eyes widening in surprise.
She was close enough to hear Tyler and see Mason's eyes were an unnatural amber color. Mason looked up at her and she stared at him in curiosity, wondering what was going on then he turned and backhanded the guy, knocking him down and turning back to pick up his nephew. He looked up at Kenzie again, his eyes still glowing as he stared at her.
"You saw nothing." He warned her and for the first time Tyler looked around and noticed her there.
"When did you get here?" Tyler asked.
"Sometime during the fight." She casually replied.
Mason stepped forward and grabbed her arms. "There was no fight, you got it?"
"Don't threaten me." She snapped "And let me go you oversized ape."
She swore he growled at her and then someone in the distance was calling out to them.
"Hey is everything okay?"
"You saw nothing, or else." Mason warned her, grabbing Tyler and running away.
"Are you okay?" Stefan asked, running up to her.
She turned to him, thinking of their earlier conversation. "What the hell was that?"
"Damon." Stefan replied, moving past her to the guy on the ground.
Kenzie practically saw red as she stood there, impatiently tapping her foot, waiting for Stefan to check on the guy. When he was done he walked back over to her.
"You sure you're okay? Did he hurt you?"
"I'm fine." She fumed. "What did that jackass do?"
"Compelled that guy to start a fight with Tyler to see if we could find something out about his Uncle."
"Oh he is so dead."
"Look, Kenzie, I know you're upset because you could've been hurt but-"
"No." She cried, interrupting him. "I don't care about that. He used some poor guy who has no clue what he was doing and something could have happened to him. And did that really come out of my mouth?"
"What? You worrying about someone else?"
"Yes, don't you dare tell anyone." She warned him. "Now where is your seriously idiotic brother, I've decided I'm not done with him after all."
Stefan sighed. "Kenzie, about you and my brother-"
"Are you meeting him or not?"
"Yes, I am but I don't know if-"
"Then lead the way, you're not making me leave."
Another sigh from the younger Salvatore brother. "Fine, you can come with me but Kenzie, really, whatever game you have playing with my brother, you need to stop it before you get hurt."
"What game?" She asked, confused now. "What, 'cause I kissed Tyler?"
"That but everything, I can't help but notice you guys have gotten a little close."
"Your brother isn't allowed to have friends?" Kenzie raised an eyebrow at him as they walked back towards the school.
"My brother having friends, usually involves those so called friends getting hurt or ending up dead." Stefan explained.
"How many times do I have to tell people that he won't kill me?"
Stefan scratched the back of his head as he tried to figure out exactly how to tell this girl that her brother was very well capable of this. "Kenzie, I know that he might seem like the total bad boy type that a lot of teenage girls think they want but those bad boys most girls go after are downright tame compared to him. He has killed a lot and he will kill again."
He opened the door to the school for her but when she didn't enter, he turned around to see her staring at him with wide eyes before she burst out laughing. He gave her a confused look and when she calmed down a bit, walked into the school, waiting for him to catch up to her before speaking.
"You think that's all this is?" She asked. "I want a bad boy so he won't hurt me because I'm totally infatuated with him."
"Well, you said you kissed?" He seemed unsure, completely taken aback by her response and nonchalance to the whole Damon situation.
"He kissed me." She clarified. "And only because he was all butthurt over the whole Elena, Katherine thing. He knows better than to try again."
"See? It's statements like that, that has me worried for your well-being."
"Where did Damon go after he killed Jeremy?" She asked.
"Elena said he was at your place?"
"Exactly, why didn't he kill me then? In fact he has had every opportunity to and he hasn't because he won't, because I amuse him too much and because nobody else gets him quite like I do."
He stopped her and grabbed her arm. "Kenzie, nobody 'gets' my brother. What can I do to make you understand this?"
She pulled away from him about to answer when the door to a classroom opened and Damon stuck his head out.
"If you guys are done talking about my finer points, how about joining us, we have a situation."
Kenzie waited for Stefan to enter before following after him, stopping in front of Damon who had his ever present smirk on his face.
"Redbird."
She glared at him before continuing on her way, smiling at Elena.
"So will you tell us now?" Elena asked.
"Caroline is a vampire." Damon announced, quickly explained what had happened when he ran into her earlier.
Everyone was shocked into silence as they exchanged looks. Stefan was the first one to get his voice back.
"How did this happen?"
"Well, I fed her blood and Katherine obviously killed her and A plus B equals…" Damon trailed off, letting them come to their own conclusions.
"But why?" Elena asked.
"Because Katherine is a manipulative nasty little slut." Damon answered, leaning against the desk.
Kenzie let out a snort of amusement.
"And she said 'game on'? What does that even mean?" Stefan asked as he began to pace the room.
"It means she's playing dirty, she wants us to know."
"But why Caroline?" Elena asked.
"I don't know." Came Damon's reply.
Kenzie gasped as realization struck her and everyone turned to her. "What if that was supposed to be me when she showed up at my house?"
"Katherine was at your house?" Elena asked in disbelief.
"You didn't tell them?" Kenzie asked Damon, who only shrugged at her.
"Thought you didn't care if something happened to you Redbird."
"Actually, I don't fear dying. Becoming a Vampire totally defeats that purpose, you know?"
"so you fear becoming a vampire?" Damon countered.
"No, I'm sure I'll just turn my humanity off and rip out your ribcage and wear it as a hat."
He moved with his vampire speed so he was standing in front of her, trying to intimidate her. "Maybe I'll get to you first and I'll-"
"Oh save it." She snapped, holding up a hand to shut him up. "Seriously. You should wear a condom on your head 'cause if you're gonna act like a dick, you might as well dress like one."
Damon growled. "Listen little girl-"
"No, you listen, how dare you compel someone to start a fight with Tyler just so you can figure out what the hell his Uncle is. That guy got hurt then Mason was all 'oh you didn't see nothing, I'm going to hurt you,' on me. Not that I cared but seriously, that dude on the ground probably did."
"Mason threatened you?" Damon asked, turning and stalking out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Stefan asked.
"To kill some not quite vampire guy, then kill Caroline."
"You can't kill Caroline." Stefan called after him.
"Fine, you deal with Caroline, I'll kill the unnaturally strong Mason."
"What was that?" A confused elena asked.
Stefan looked at Kenzie. "He's going to kill Mason for touching you. I think I might take back what I said earlier, maybe this isn't completely a game to Damon."
"Of course it's not." An exasperated Kenzie told him. "We have an understanding, there is no game. I, dare I say, call him a friend and if him showing up at my house after last night is any indication, he thinks of me as a friend."
"Is that all?" Stefan asked, looking at her with a small knowing smile and she knew he was referring to the kiss he found out about as well as the whole jealousy debacle from earlier.
"Yes." Kenzie snapped, raising her chin in defiance.
"guys," Elena interrupted. "We need to find Caroline and stop Damon from killing her and Mason."
"She must be completely out of her mind, she doesn't even know what's happening to her." Stefan said.
"Then you go find Caroline and I'll find Damon." Kenzie suggested.
"You can't stop Damon yourself." The brunette told her.
"I'll talk to him."
"But-"
Stefan interrupted his girlfriend "I think she'll be fine, come on, let's go find Caroline."
Those two left in one direction and Kenzie took off in Damon's direction, really hoping he didn't use his vampire speed otherwise she was completely hooped. She moved through the outskirts of the carnival, hoping to find him, stopping occasionally to ask random people if they had seen him.
Someone finally pointed her towards the parking lot where the carnival helpers were parked. She rushed over there as fast as she could in her wedges and saw Damon hugging Caroline. She could see the blondes face, teary eyed and what appeared to be blood around her mouth and Kenzie momentarily felt bad if what Stefan had said was true and she had no idea what was going on. Damon raised an arm and Kenzie realized he was holding a stake.
"Damon." She yelled just as Stefan appeared and pushed him back and away from Caroline too fast for her to follow.
"Get away from me, you killed me." Caroline cried, pushing Elena away who had run up after her boyfriend.
"No, no, no, no Caroline! That wasn't me. You know that! That was Katherine." Elena tried to placate her.
Kenzie ran closer to them, grabbing Caroline's hand and turning her away from Elena. "Caroline, it's okay."
"There's something wrong with me." The blonde cried.
"We have to get her inside." Elena was telling Stefan.
"Let's get you cleaned up, okay?" Kenzie whispered to Caroline, not caring as she used her sleeve to wipe at the blood on the blonde's mouth.
"She'll die, it's only a matter of time." Damon yelled at them.
"Get bent." Kenzie snapped at him.
"And if that's the case, it's not going to happen tonight." Stefan told his brother as he grabbed Caroline's hand to lead her away.
"Oh yeah it is." Damon muttered.
Kenzie saw him reaching for the stake that had fallen on the ground and without thinking, she threw herself in front of Caroline just as Damon used his vampire speed, stopping with the stake inches away from Kenzie's chest.
"What makes you think I won't drive this through you to get to her?"
"You might, but by then, Stefan will have her far away from you."
"And you'll be stabbed in the process." He reminded her.
"I know but Caroline will be fine because you're not killing her."
"She's my friend, Damon." Elena pleaded with him from behind Kenzie.
Damon looked between the two girls before he backed up, dropping his arm and pointing at the two girls "Whatever happens, it's on you two." He disappeared and Kenzie turned back to the others.
"Go get her cleaned up." She told Elena. "I'll figure out something with this... body."
"Caroline?"
Kenzie looked to see Bonnie walking towards them a look of horror on her face and she stepped away from them, moving to block the body. The last thing Caroline needed was Bonnie freaking out over the body and upsetting Caroline more, just as long as she didn't look at said body. She had never seen a dead body and it was completely icky and vomit worthy. What the hell was she supposed to do with it?
"Oh god." Bonnie was whispering in horror, pushing Kenzie aside to see the body.
"Don't overreact." Kenzie warned her.
"Don't overreact?" Bonnie turned on her, her eyes blazing. "There is a dead body here, killed by my best friend and you don't-"
"want you to upset her more than she already is?" Kenzie finished for her. "exactly."
"Bonnie." Caroline was crying.
"Come on." Stefan gently told her, pulling her away.
"Kenzie?" Elena looked to her, unsure of where to go.
"It's okay, I'll deal, go with them."
"Please, just…" She trailed off, gesturing to a distraught Bonnie and Kenzie knew Elena was asking her to be nice.
She nodded and watched Elena follow after the two Vampires before turning to Bonnie who was still looking at the guy on the flatbed truck. Kenzie stepped closer and with a small gasp, realized it was the same guy who had gotten into a fight with Tyler. The blood from the fight must have been what set Caroline off and with a sigh she realized this was inadvertently Damon's doing. But there was no way she was going to tell Bonnie that.
"I can't believe this is happening." Bonnie cried.
"Come on, don't pout about it, Redbird's got a body to bury."
The two girls looked up to see Damon coming back, a shovel slung over his shoulder. Kenzie gave him a dirty look to which he smirked.
"I thought you were calling the shots, no?" He placed the shovel on the truck. "Sucks to be you Red."
"well gee, I was raised to believe that the women had the babies and the men dug the graves." Came her biting reply.
Damon turned back to her with a remark of his own on his lips when he doubled over in pain, clutching at his head. Kenzie looked back at Bonnie, her chin raised, eyes narrowed as she glared at Damon.
"Stop it." Kenzie told her but Bonnie ignored her, turning to look at the nearest tap with a hose attached and opening it up and letting the water spill out towards Damon who was now on the ground clutching at his head.
"Bonnie." Kenzie warned, stepping up towards Damon.
"I told you what would happen if anyone else got hurt." Bonnie reminded Damon.
"I didn't do this." Damon ground out through the pain.
"He's right, he didn't do this." Kenzie yelled at Bonnie.
"Everything that's happened is his fault Kenzie, you need to understand that." The witch told her.
"No." Kenzie cried, just as Bonnie started a fire with her mind and pushed it towards Damon.
"Stop." She yelled, falling to her knees beside Damon.
"Out of the way, Kenzie." Bonnie warned her.
"No." Kenzie cried, throwing herself on top of Damon, who was still clutching his head. "Are you really going to burn me just to get at him?"
The fire stopped from spreading just before them and Kenzie could feel the heat, positive it was singeing her hair. This town was ruining her hair and someone would have to buy her extensions soon and the way this was going, it was going to be Bonnie.
"I can remove you." Bonnie threatened.
"You will have to kill me first." She snapped. "And that would make you even worse than Caroline. She doesn't even know what's going on, you do. And in the end, you'll be no better than Damon."
There was a few minutes of the girls eyes locked on each other in a battle of wills over the wall of fire and just when Kenzie didn't think she could take the heat anymore, the fire died down and Bonnie released the spell on Damon, who relaxed beneath Kenzie.
"Keep him away from me." The witch warned the new girl before walking away.
When she was out of sight, Kenzie looked down at Damon, actual concern shining in her eyes. "are you okay?"
"Why did you do that?" Damon groaned.
"Because I didn't want her to burn you into a crispy critter." She softly told him.
"You are by far the stupidest girl I've ever met."
"Nah, we just have this crazy thing where we save each other, it's like our thing now."
"We have a thing now?" He asked with a small smirk.
"Why not?" She asked. "Could be fun."
"You are an enigma." He told her, reaching up to push some loose strands of hair behind her ear.
She blushed, realizing she was still on top of him and sat up "Nah, I just do what I want, when I want."
He stood up, offering a hand to her, which she took letting him pull her up and into his chest, one arm wrapped around her.
"I guess I should get to burying, huh?" she asked, stepping away from him.
"I'll take care of it." He told her. "since you threw yourself on top of me and all. You know, I've been waiting for you to throw yourself at me, I just thought it would be under different circumstances. Wanna come?"
She let out a small noise of amusement as he grabbed the body and motioned for her to grab the shovel and follow him to his car. She did without a word and watched him put the body in the trunk, taking the shovel and throwing it on top. She got in the car and they were both silent as he drove away from the school and to an abandoned road, telling her to stay in the car while he dealt with it. She complied, feeling as though this was all a dream. There was a dead body, being buried in the woods right now, by a vampire, who had just been attacked by a witch because another vampire had killed the body that was currently being buried in the woods right now. She couldn't help but wonder how she had not completely lost her mind. Then again, her life had been in danger how much since she had been here and thinking about that, still didn't bug her. Death meant nothing to her personally because without her sister, life just wasn't the same. That's why she had no problem seemingly risking her life time and again to save other people, just because she quit caring about her life, doesn't mean others no longer cared for their lives and that's the kind of person she used to be, back before Mads died, all the time. Before she became so cold and harsh and in complete hate with the world around her.
"All done." Damon announced as he got back in the car and started it up.
"I know that's the guy you compelled to go after Tyler." She told him, once they were on their way.
"Putting all the pieces together, huh Redbird?"
She shrugged. "In a way, Bonnie's right, it does lead back to you."
"Then why didn't you let her burn me?"
Another shrug as she looked out the window "Isn't that the million dollar question. Where are you taking me?"
"My place."
"Not home?"
"Do you want to go home looking like that?" He asked with a smirk.
She looked down at herself, covered in dirt and soot and the ends of her red hair singed, again. "This town is totally destroying my hair. I hate it."
He pulled into his driveway and got out, motioning for her to follow him inside. "I obviously don't have any clothes to give you but you can shower or whatever."
"And risk you walking in on me?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Why, afraid I'll rock your world?"
She tossed her hair back. "Actually, I'd be more worried about rocking yours, I have that effect on people."
"oh? And what makes you think that my 150 years of experience is not immune to little high school minxes."
"'Cause you never met one like me before?" She replied with a cheeky grin.
He shook his head, walking into the living room to poor himself a drink. She followed, stopping at the entryway.
"What are you doing here?"
She was confused by his question, considering he brought her here when someone else answered.
"You don't lock your front door."
"Jeremy?" She stepped further into the room to see Jeremy sitting on a chair, his hood up, looking at her in confusion.
"Kenzie?" He asked, looking equally surprised.
"And I'm Damon." The sarcastic Vampire interrupted them, "now that we have all that figured out." He picked up his glass of whiskey.
"I wouldn't drink that, I laced it with vervain." Jeremy told him.
Kenzie leaned against the wall, deciding she'd watch this play out for the time being.
Damon sniffed it before putting it down and turning to the youngest Gilbert "Why would you do that?"
"So I could stake you, with this." He held up the stake that was in his hand before throwing it at Damon's feet.
"You came here to kill me?" He asked with a quick raise of his eyebrows and a small smirk.
"It's only fair, you killed me first." Jeremy replied, pulling his hood down.
The blue eyed vampire leaned over to pick up the stake, tossing it in the air to catch it on the non-pointy end. He glanced over at Kenzie with a raised eyebrow and she only held her hand out for the stake, not really wanting one in his hands at the moment. He rolled his eyes, tossing it at her before turning back to the other teenager in the room.
"What made you wisen up?" He wanted to know.
"My father hated vampires, my uncle too. They were absolute they knew exactly what they stood for and I figured maybe I should too. I mean, stand for something but killing you, what's that gonna do?"
Kenzie could hear the pain in his voice as Damon moved over to the couch, flopping down onto it.
"Look, I don't do the big brother thing very well. Sorry, I don't have any milk and cookies to offer you."
Jeremy stood, looking at Damon with a look of disgust. "Dick." He went to stomp out of the room and Kenzie grabbed his hand, throwing her own look of disgust at Damon.
"Wait." Damon said with a small sigh and Jeremy stopped, partially for him and partially for the fact that Kenzie had stopped him.
"My father hated vampires too."
"He did?" Jeremy asked, looking confused.
Damon nodded. "For the same reason your dad did. Only it was 1864 and people knew how to whittle then." He motioned to the stake Kenzie had "Did you do that?"
"Yeah I tried; it's a lot harder than it looks."
"Huh." Damon replied, looking down.
"I'm going to go." Jeremy said with a sigh.
Kenzie tossed the stake at Damon then followed Jeremy to the door. "You okay?"
"Why are you with him?" Jeremy asked. "Like every time I see you you're with him, don't you get what he's capable of?"
Kenzie groaned, so tired of this conversation from every single person. "I know Jeremy, okay? I've heard the whole thing from everyone. And I'm fine with him, I enjoy being with him, he gets me like no one else does."
"What do you mean? Kenzie, I-"
She cut him off with a shake of her head. "There's a lot that people don't know about me here. I'm not- I'm not a nice person, okay? And well, he gets that and accepts me."
"Are you guys- are you seeing him?" Jeremy asked, a look of disgust on his face.
Kenzie let out a small giggle. "No, Damon's my friend, just like you're my friend. Are you okay getting home?"
He nodded. "I'll see you at school Kenzie."
He left and she drifted back into the living room where Damon was still staring at the stake.
"You friendzoned that kid so hard."
"Huh?" she didn't think Jeremy was interested in her like that.
"the kid is sweet on you."
"The kid is like what, 2 or 3 years younger than me." She reminded him.
"And I'm a 150 years older than you." He told her.
She gave him a puzzled look before turning it into a smirk. "Are you trying to tell me you're sweet on me too, Damon."
"After you friendzoned me along with the kid? Forget it."
She grinned, moving towards him and knocking the stake aside so she could situate herself on his lap, letting out a small giggle as he glared at her.
"I'm beginning to think you were jealous over me hanging out with Jeremy earlier."
"Jealousy implies that I care, which I don't." He unceremoniously dumped her onto the seat beside him as he stood up.
"Really?" She asked, following him with his eyes. "So that kiss with Tyler didn't bug you?"
"No." he replied, moving towards a cabinet as he began searching form some liquor that wasn't laced with vervain.
"And you wanting to kill Mason had nothing to do with finding out he hurt me."
He spun around, his eyes narrowing. "No but thanks for reminding me that I have to go kill someone."
"You'll do no such thing." She told him, standing up and moving so she was in front of him, her hands on her hips.
"When people tell me not to do things, that usually has me doing the exact opposite."
"Same here." She told him, not moving.
"So you want me to kill him?"
"Nope." She replied "But once in a while I listen."
"I don't."
She grinned.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"Nothing." She replied. "so are you going?"
"You want me to?" She was really confusing him now and he had no idea what she was playing at.
"I want you to try."
"You can't stop me." He reminded her.
She raised an eyebrow in challenge and he stepped forward. She didn't move so he took another step and then another as he started walking towards the door, thinking perhaps she wanted him to kill her and he was happy to comply, he didn't like the Uncle much anyways.
"Damon." She called.
He turned around his eyebrows raised, wondering how she was going to stop him now. "What?"
"You sure you don't like me and you weren't jealous?"
"yes." He replied. "Can I go now?"
"So you'd be repulsed if I did this?"
She was quick for a human, he'd give her that because before his brain could process it, his arms were full of tiny redheaded cheerleader who wrapped her legs around his waist, fisting her hands in his hair as she kissed him, hard.
He responded without thinking, his arms wrapping around her, his vampire speed used to push her up against the nearest wall. He broke away first, his lips playfully nipping at her neck as she gasped letting her head fall back , granting him easier access.
"I thought you didn't want to be used." He murmured against her neck.
She shivered as his words breathed across her skin and at that moment she wanted nothing more than to be used by Damon Salvatore over and over again. "Unless you asked first but since I'm initiating it, does it really matter?" she asked.
Damon pulled away slightly to see how sure she was and the hooded look in her eyes was enough of an answer for him. Using his speed, he somehow got them to his bedroom, stopping every few moments to kiss her, tease her or nip playfully at her while tearing at her clothes. Her legs stayed wrapped around his waist until he reached his bed, playfully depositing her on to it. She quickly got to her knees reaching for his shirt and pulling it off, pulling him onto the bed with her. His hands pulled the hair ties out of her hair, wanting her long red curls to be free before his hands began to roam down the curves of her body, reaching the hem of her shirt before ripping what little remained off of her. A smirk appeared on his face as he stared down at her, noticing she wore nothing underneath her shirt.
"You know, you never struck me as the girl to go commando. Does that count for under here too?" He asked, a hand playing with the hem of her skirt.
She smirked at him and he quickly lifted her hips and pulled her skirt off, almost disappointed by the tiny scrap of cloth covering her but it was short lived as he leaned down to take off the last piece of article with his teeth, causing a breathy giggle to erupt from her. He kissed back up her body and he had just reached her stomach when her hands were in his hair again, pulling his face up to hers. His hands traced the shape of her breast, a thumb lightly brushing over each nipple, causing her to gasp.
"Later." She gasped, reaching for his pants and undoing his belt. "Need… now…."
He chuckled, knowing she was far too impatient and there would be plenty of time for exploration later. He helped her by kicking off his pants before settling in between her thighs, looking at her and giving her one last chance to change her mind, although he was unsure if he would be able to stop if she did. She responded with an eye roll, wrapping her legs around his waist and urging him on. He entered her and they both momentarily froze before they each let out a small moan of pleasure. He immediately started a rapid pace, urged on by her moans and breathy gasps as he hit the right spot.
He was a vampire, he had years and years to perfect this but right now, at this moment, the girl in his arms felt so good, he swore he was a teenage boy again.
Her moans began to change and he thrust harder, reaching a hand in between them to find the bundle of nerves that would send her over the edge. It wasn't long before he could feel her muscles tighten around him and he leaned forward, sinking his teeth into her, right on the fleshy part of her left breast as she screamed out her pleasure and he followed just moments after, her cries and her warm blood pushing him over the edge.
He collapsed on top of her, licking the trickle of blood leaking from the wound before he slid, now boneless, off her and onto his back, pulling her into his chest.
"You bit me." She murmured.
"Did you hate it?"
She shook her head against his chest. "It wasn't my neck at least and it felt… it felt really good, is it supposed to feel like that?"
"Only when I compel someone."
"But you didn't compel me."
"No, I didn't." he agreed.
They grew silent, the only movement was him slipping the covers over her and she almost drifted off to sleep before her eyes shot open and she leaned over him to grab his phone off the table.
"Mmm, now this is a view I could get used to." He murmured, his hands caressing her waist and down the curve of her backside. "But what are you doing with my phone?"
She didn't reply, tapping out a message and hitting send before burrowing back into his side.
"Messaging my dad that I'm staying at a cheerleaders house and my phone died."
"Oh, so you think you're sleeping here?" He teased.
"Fucking rights I am."
"And what makes you think you warrant that honor."
She looked up at him with a smirk before sitting up and throwing one leg over him so she was straddling him. "The fact that we're not done yet? Ready for round two?"
He returned her smirk, reaching for her hips.
… … …
