Jan 25.

"You're out earlier than expected." Natalia laughed when she saw Ryan out on porch drinking coffee.

"NyQuil and chicken soup helped." Ryan chuckled.

"Hmm… did you have a half day NyQuil induced nap?" Natalia laughed, happy that her new "boyfriend" wasn't still sneezing his socks off.

"More like twenty three hour long nap." Ryan laughed. "So, uh, you still wanna go on another date?" Ryan asked, Calleigh noticing them as she took out the trash, and pulled her bike up the stairs.

"Yeah, sure." Natalia smiled.

Calleigh stood behind Natalia, glaring at her head. "How are you feeling, Ryan?" Calleigh asked, Natalia jumping up an inch for the sound of Calleigh's voice. "Sorry if I scared you Natalia." Calleigh said.

"Erm, better, I guess." Ryan said, nervously looking at Natalia. Natalia gave him a "wait for it" look.

"Calleigh…-" Natalia was interrupted by Calleigh's important statement.

"So when are you guys gonna kiss?" She asked, Natalia rolling her eyes.

"Go into the apartment before I strangle you." Natalia hissed, Calleigh shrugging and walking her bike back to the apartment and into it.

"Don't even ask." Natalia sighed. "Maxine and Calleigh and probably yet in another bet, and Calleigh won't get off my tail for another two weeks." Natalia said, looking into Ryan's playful hazel eyes.

"You don't seem too happy about it." Ryan said.

"Last time I looked, we weren't in high school." Natalia snapped, staring at the apartment door.

"Hey, you know what they say, high school never ends!" Ryan laughed.

"Did you just quote a Bowling For Soup song?" Natalia grinned, just as Calleigh came back out, but this time she brought out her lock picking kit to see how easy the door's lock was picked.

"Yes, yes I did." Ryan said. "And look what your friend is doing." Ryan said, Natalia turning around to look at Calleigh.

"Please don't break it." Natalia sighed.

"Oh I won't break it." Calleigh said.

Ryan, while Natalia was staring at Calleigh, quickly excused himself to go and get himself another cup of coffee. When he returned Calleigh was already gone and Natalia was staring at Ryan's cup of coffee. "Don't go Calleigh on me and start drinking twenty four cups of coffee a day." Natalia told Ryan.

"Oh, that won't happen. I promise you." Ryan's mouth curled up into a smile as he gently brushed a strand of hair from Natalia's face. Another perfect time to kiss, unless a fire detector sounds. "What the-?" Both Ryan and Natalia asked, picking up their pace to reach the apartment in time. When Natalia entered the apartment, she saw Calleigh dousing the toaster over in foam from the fire extinguisher.

"And I won't even ask." Ryan said popping his head in the apartment. "I guess I should go." Ryan said, Natalia almost wanting to call after him telling him "wait" but doing that would mean looking like a clingy new girlfriend. And that would be bad.

"See ya later then." Natalia said, closed the door and stared at Calleigh who was still smiling although she had just experienced a mini house fire.

"What?" Calleigh asked, looking at the angry Natalia.

"Why do you always have to ruin the good moments?" Natalia asked, collapsing on the couch.

"Do guys wanted to kiss each other again and the alarm sounded?" Calleigh cringed, putting her hand on her head.

"Yes, that is exactly what happened!" Natalia's voice was almost a roar. "How do you always end up in these situations?" Natalia asked as Calleigh began cleaning out the toaster.

"What can I say?" Calleigh laughed. "I'm a blond." She reported, that making Natalia even more angry. Natalia wasn't happy with Calleigh easy answer when a relationship was on the betting table.

"You're not trying to ruin our relationship on purpose, are you?" Natalia asked, Calleigh suddenly dropping the toaster's metal tray to the floor. "NO! Why the hell would I want to do that?" Calleigh shouted, bending over to pick up the tray. "I want you guys to hook up already!" Calleigh said. "I just have knack to do something stupid every time you guys try to kiss. Trust me I'll make it up to you." Calleigh said, Natalia giving her death glare, Felix jumping up on the counter and skidding to a stop.

"When are we gonna give these away?" Natalia asked.

"I don't know. I don't wanna give them away." Calleigh pouted.

"You could always let Turty live outside and have us keep two kittens." Natalia said. "And maybe Ryan wants his side kick." Natalia said. "So we only have to give away one kitten. And…erm…I don't like Misty too much." Natalia bit her lip.

"Well neither do I." Calleigh said. "I guess Misty is going bye- bye tomorrow." She said looking warily at the cat that was clawing the couch. "STOP! Bad kitty." Calleigh scolded the kitten and it just hissed at Natalia.

"Natalia-" Calleigh sighed "Misty is a feline teenager." Calleigh said. "And that is the reason she has to go." Calleigh declared, but there was no Natalia in the apartment.

"Adopt your sidekick?" Natalia joked, holding up Henry.

"You're giving them away already?" Ryan asked surprised, Henry once again trying to get up on Ryan's head.

"Only two. This one and the annoying calico." Natalia said.

"Sure, I'll adopt this one." Ryan stared at Henry. "As long as you'll help me deal with him." Ryan said.

"Deal." Natalia said, handing Henry to Ryan, Natalia doing her best not to notice the electric sparks that went through Natalia's arm when their fingers brushed.

"No kiss?" Calleigh asked when Natalia came back into the apartment.

"No kiss yet. But Ryan adopted his side kick." Natalia said.

"And that's because he already knows that you love the kitten and you want it close." Calleigh mused. "The guy's smart." Calleigh smiled a huge smile as Natalia glared at her.
