Ashley smirked at Claire

"Told ya…" she whispered skipping away towards the pool

Claire shook her head in disbelief she looked up and saw Leon staring at her. She blushed brightly and turned away.

She walked down to the deck where Barry was making some hotdogs at the barbeque. She looked over to his wife who was asleep on a lounge chair then over at sherry who was swimming with his daughter.

"What's the matter not gonna take a swim?" asked Barry looking up at Claire. She blushed bright red turning away

"J…just for now" she said sitting down on a lounge chair

"Hey Claire come 'ere!!!" shouted Ashley. Claire got up and bent down on the pools edge where Ashley was.

"What?" she asked Ashley. Ashley smiled at her then giggled

"Look behind you "she said. Claire quickly turned her head and saw Leon smirking devilishly as he pushed her. She tried to keep her balance to keep from falling into the pool but failed. For a while everyone stared as she had still not come up from under water.

"C...Claire?" asked Leon leaning over the pool

"Yeah" she said smirking devilishly. Leon turned around as Claire jumped on him causing him to fall into the pool with her on him. They both came up gasping. She smiled devilishly.

"Nobody tricks Claire Redfield without her getting revenge" she said smirking and swimming over the ladder and getting out of the pool. He watched as she walked over to one of the lounge chairs and wrapped a small transparent towel around her waist. She walked over to Barry told him something he nodded smiling and she went inside.

Leon looked at Ashley. Ashley looked at him and they both shrugged going back to enjoying themselves in the pool.

----------------------1 hour later-------------------------

Leon got out of the pool going inside to check up on Claire. He opened the door slowly and heard sniffling. He took a quick peek inside and heard small sobs. he creped slowly into the kitchen, the sobs getting louder.

"C...Claire?" he asked looking over to the girl standing by the counter her shoulder's shaking.

She turned her head, her eyes were red from crying and her nose was pink. She wiped tears from her eyes still sniffling

"Claire are you all right?" he asked concerned. She shook her head slowly

"I...I'm fine" she said turning her back on Leon. Her soft sobs echoing in the empty kitchen. Leon slowly walked towards her

"Listen Claire was it what I did… if it is I'm so…" his eye twitched when he looked over her shoulder. Claire wiped her eyes slowly putting down a large cutting knife and cutting small squares from an onion.

Leon stared at her then at the onion over and over. He opened his mouth to say something but he was speechless.

" You were only crying because of the onions," asked Leon confused. Claire nodded while she put the chopped onion in a boiling pot wiping away the tears while putting the lid on the large boiling pot on top of the stove.

" yeah did you actually think I would cry only cause you pushed me into a pool, Leon I mean really you know me better " she said as she grabbed some chocolate from the cupboard and a few other ingredients. She grabbed a bowl and a spoon. Leon went over to the counter grabbed a stool and sat down watching Claire put the ingredients into the bowl one by one. She poured some milk and mixed it. Slowly she poured it into a pan and put it in the oven turning to face Leon. The sweet aroma of chocolate filled the room. Leon smirked and wiggled his finger towards Claire.

"Your making your delicious brownies aren't you" he said smirking devilishly. Claire let out a light giggle and nodded. Leon shot up and grabbed the spoon smiling.

"Hey no licking the spoon Leon!!! I promised sherry I would let her!!" shouted Claire running after it.

"Maybe if you catch me I'll give it back," he said running up into the dining room. Claire smirked and ran after him. They stared at each other smirking each one at a different end of the table. Leon moved left then right, Claire followed his every gesture. He did it again this time going right then left the quickly running to the right

"HEY!!! No fair Leon!" shouted Claire running after him. Leon ran into the living room jumping over the couch that he almost ran into.

Claire also jumped over it catching up to him. Hey raised his long muscular arm that had the spoon in it. Claire jumped up and tried to grab the spoon but he was too tall. It was futile with Leon's tall height, his muscular arms, his hard chest with s...six pack abs…

Claire stopped jumping and looked up and him staring into his dark blue eyes that every time she looked, she drowned in. he looked down at her put his hand on her chin and brought her face closer to his. Claire slowly closed her eyes their lips getting closer. Just as there lips touched the Fire alarm went off. Claire ran into the kitchen. The pot was boiling and the brownies were almost burning lucky to them the fire alarm warned them before anything really did burn. Claire quickly turned off the stove and then the oven. She sighed in relief grabbed the oven mitts put them on. She slowly took out the brownies carefully. She took of the mitts and took off the lid from the pot. She sighed in relief grabbed a stool and sat down in it. She slumped down into the seat Leon came into the kitchen.

" Everything all right?" he asked her. Claire nodded smiling

" Its fine" she said. She got up from the stool and walked over to the pot. She put her hand on it to grab it and got burned.

"Dammit!" she shouted. Leon looked over her shoulder. He grabbed her hand an examined her burned finger. He kissed the burn and Claire instantly blushed brightly. He blushed as he let go of her hand noticing what he had done.

"s..sorry my mom used to do it a lot and became a habit" he told her. She shook her head.

"its ok" she said kissing his cheek and turning back to the pot.

---------------------Meanwhile-----------------------

Jill stepped out of the pool grabbed her towel and wrapped herself in it. She took in the sweet aroma of the clean fluffy blue towel. Chris slicked back his now wet hair and walked over to Jill hugging her from behind. She giggled as he kissed her cheek. She turned her head and kissed his lips.

"Did I tell you that you look sexy in those spongebob swim trunks" she said laughing lightly. Chris blushed brightly.

"Why do you think I wore them?" said Chris smirking. Jill laughed and hugged him. Barry came over and wrapped his arm around each ones shoulder.

"TIME FOR HOTDOGS!!" he shouted right in there ears. Everyone got out of the pool and rushed over to their towels grabbing their towels and then rushing to get Barry's hotdogs. Chris and Jill cleaned out their ears. Chris looked at the smiling Barry his face was red with anger. He took a deep breath put his lips by Barry's ears and screamed

"WE'RE RIGHT HERE MR.BURTON!!!!" into his ear. Chris smirked as Barry cleaned out his ear that was now ringing.

Jill put out his hand for Jill

"Would you like to get some hot dogs my dear" he asked sweetly. Jill giggled and took his hand

" I'd love to" she said. Chris smiled and helped her get up leaving poor Barry behind, his ears still ringing.
