Otto sat on the couch in the living room, hair sticking out in all directions, where he had just dried it and didn't have it in dreads yet. He glanced upstairs to see Sunny coming down in her pajamas with little stars on the pants. She gasped, then realizing she had on no make-up.
"Oh, man," she said, covering up her face.
Otto laughed, "Don't worry, I don't care. You look fine." Sunny sat down beside him.
Mrs. Belvidere walked out of the kitchen, holding a tray with two mugs of hot cocoa. She handed the mugs to Otto and Sunny. "We're having dinner at your Aunt Vivana's tomorrow night. Don't worry about dressing up, either, because it's family, even though everyone will be there. Savannah, I hope they don't scare you; they're very loud."
Sunny shook her head. "No, I'm sure they won't." She sipped her cocoa, and leaned back into the couch.
Mrs. Belvidere said goodnight, left, and went into her bedroom to read, where Mr.Belvidere was. Otto stood and stretched his arms up towards the ceiling. "Well, I'm wiped. I'm gonna crash."
Sunny nodded, and stood as well. "So, where am I sleeping?"
Otto thought for a minute. "I can sleep downstairs, so they won't think things, even though we'd never do anything. Follow me and I'll show you where the guest bedroom is."
She did so, trailing behind him up the stairs. She knew he knew she knew (A/N: Whew, a lot of knew's!) where the guest bedroom was, he was just looking for an excuse to kiss her goodnight without his grandparents seeing.
Otto walked to a room on the right and opened the door. "Here. Well, goodnight." He leant over to Sunny, kissing her lightly.
"G'night, love you." She wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him quickly.
"Love you, too." He walked back downstairs.
Sunny leaned over the banister, and watched him walked into the hallway and listened to hear his door close softly. She sighed, and went into the bedroom to fall asleep before her head even hit the pillow.

The next morning, Otto woke up, the sun's rays streaking warmly across his face. He wondered if Sunny was up. Pulling back the covers, he stepped quietly onto the floor, not knowing whether his grandparents were up or not. He held his breath, listening, and heard nothing. They were obviously not up yet. He sighed, relieved, and silently treaded into the hallway and made his way up the stairs.
He slowly opened the door to see Sunny still asleep, rolled up in the covers like a burrito. She's so cute when she sleeps, thought Otto. He walked over to the side of the bed and brushed a piece of hair out of her face. He gently caressed her face and leaned over to kiss her lightly on the lips. Over the past night, he had only known her for a couple of months. He had just met her at the beginning of summer. He loved her more than anything, and didn't know what he would do without her.
Suddenly, Sunny's eyes opened, the sunlight floating across her face, making her look heavenly. "Hey," she said, her voice scratchy from just awaking. She sat up and he scooted closer to her, putting his arm around her.
"Morning." Otto leaned closer to her, almost kissing her. "I love you," he whispered to her.
She looked profoundly into his deep green eyes. "I love you, too," she whispered, her lips dangerously close to his. She loved to tease him. She gave him a crooked smile, then pressed her lips into his. He jerked back slightly, surprised at her quick action, then leant more into the kiss. They suddenly broke the kiss to hear a loud clank downstairs in the kitchen.
"My grandparents must be up." Otto stood up, walked out into the hallway, and looked over the banister. His grandmother was in the kitchen cooking breakfast, his grandfather reading the newspaper in the living room.
Otto bit his bottom lip, not knowing how he was going to get by his grandparents without them seeing he had been upstairs with Sunny. He had an idea then walked back into the guest bedroom.
"I'm going to climb down the fire escape and come in through the back door. They always keep the back door unlocked." Otto kissed her quickly, and stealthily walked to the next room where the fire escape was located.

Sunny stood up, stretched, and yawned. She slowly walked into the hallway and down the stairs. The smell of bacon and eggs filled inside her. Her mouth watered as she heard the food sizzling on the cast iron pan. "Mmm." She walked into the kitchen to greet Mrs. Belvidere.
"Good morning, Savannah. Sleep well?" She flipped the egg over as smoke came from the pan.
"Yes. That bacon smells really good. I'm soooo hungry!"
"Ah, yes. I am affamato as well. I'm famished! It will be ready in a few minutes. Where is Otto? I haven't seen him at all this morning."
Sunny's stomach twisted. She searched her mind for a lie. "Umm, I think he went outside." She technically didn't lie, did she? As soon as Otto was spoken of, he walked in the back door, his shirt off and in his hands.
"I just wanted to take a breath of fresh air when I got up. Beautiful morning out there. Good day for going out side and soaking up some rays!" Otto wiped his hands on his pajama bottoms.
Sunny was impressed, both by how quickly Otto came up with an excuse, and by his six-pack. (A/N: Six-pack - it's the abs, you should know that! lol) She never really noticed that, probably because they didn't go surfing often.
"Really?" Sunny said with sarcasm.
Otto grabbed Sunny's hand, and led her into the hallway. She immediately questioned him, but he had an answer before she spoke.
"I had to take off my shirt to cover up parts of the railing. If I didn't I would have cut my hands. That fire escape should be condemned!" He threw the shirt into the room behind him.
"Hey, I never said I had a problem with you taking off your shirt." Sunny joked and ran her hands up his chest, feeling his athletic muscles, and around his neck.
He pulled back, then not being able to resist, put his arms around her waist and kissed her passionately. He suddenly recoiled, realizing what he was doing. Sunny looked up at him, bewildered.
He sighed. "We can't kiss with my grandparents so close; I don't want to get in trouble." A voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Get in trouble, you say?" Otto's grandmother walked from in the kitchen, hands on her hips. A big smile crossed her face. "Don't worry, le mie piccole colombe, I didn't see you kiss. Besides, even if I did, I wouldn't care. I was your age once, too, you know. Don't mistake me for a sciocco."
They both let out a sigh of relief. Sunny walked into the kitchen while Otto went to change.
