Just five seconds ago, Ana was sitting on the other side of counter at Hallowed Grounds, having a very heated discussion with CJ.

Now she was being kissed.

It totally threw her off guard, his arms went out in a snap and wrapped tightly around her shoulders and neck, his sticky wet lips smacked with hers and his tongue darted in and out.

Ana's eyes bugged out of their sockets and her hands were brought up and fluttered as CJ closed his eyes and kissed her harder.

The mixed taste of beer, coffee, and salt filled her mouth and made her stomach turn. She didn't know what to do, this kiss wasn't anything like she felt before...and something would like to again.

CJ's grip seemed to ease up a little and Ana saw her chance, she jumped backwards in her stool and pushed his arms away.

CJ rocked back and forth on his stool, and for a second there...Ana thought he was going to fall over on the other side.

Both got their balance and looked stunned.

Ana's lips were still wet and her breathing became heavy and deep and her eyes darted back and forth at CJ...not really knowing what to say.

CJ bent his head a little and his hat seemed to look crooked, he looked embarrassed and shocked as he met eyes with her...almost sharing the same feelings.

Ana them knew they hadn't said anything long enough, she raised her hands up a little and still looked stunned.

"What the hell was that?"

CJ then looked more at ease then her, maybe he knew he screwed up and had to save the last ditch of his manhood. His eyes grew small and he gave a pissed off look as he fixed his cap.

"It's called a kiss school girl."

It was Ana's turn to now look pissed off.

"I know what it was! I wanted to know why you did it?"

CJ shrugged and Ana knew this was his only way to crawl out of it.

"Just wanted to show you what a real man was like..."

He gave a small grin then, a girl that reminded her so much of Steve...an ugly sly grin.

Ana's eyebrows lowered and she grabbed her half empty coffee.

She then threw it with all her force right into CJ's face...the coffee had cooled off now and only hit his beard and T-shirt.

But that had been enough. CJ closed his eyes and let the cold liquid dribble down his chin as he breathed out.

Deep down inside Ana knew she was wrong...she should have given him a chance to explain. But it was to late now, both acted like jerks and had to keep the act up.

Ana huffed out and stood up looking at the mess she made.

CJ then opened his eyes and looked straight at her and them gave a pissed off smile as he slowly wiped his chin and face.

"That's nice...real nice."

He then stood up and threw his stool to the side.

He smiled though it all and cocked his head to the side.

"What's wrong Ana...didn't like what real guys feel like?"

Ana didn't say anything...she was to angry, but kept her cold stare.

CJ then looked down at his stained shirt and gave a soft laugh to himself.

"Guess only one man in this mall can win the ice queen's heart."

He then spun around and headed towards the stairwell.

Ana watched him, half feeling bad, and the other half feeling pissed off and out of sorts.

She then heard the door to the stairwell shut and she was left alone.

The only sound in the background was the high blasting A. C and the water fountain.

She gave a loud sigh and rubbed her face with her hands.

She was tried and felt really bad. She then grabbed a dishcloth and slowly headed to the other side of the counter.

She needed a nice long cat nap, she thought as she kneeled down at the small puddle of cold coffee and started to soak it up.

She didn't wanna be bothered anymore today, she felt tried and just wanted to crawl into bed and fall asleep until night fall.

As she cleaned up she started thinking about what CJ said, was she really being a bitch?

She closed her eyes and wished she had gone up with Michael and Monica when she had the chance.

Just then she heard footsteps...

At first she thought it was CJ...for whatever reason he wanted to come back, but the minute she saw the pricey leather shoes her day became even worse.

"When your done that, mop up the bathroom floors..."

Ana closed her eyes and took a deep breath in...she wasn't in the mood for this.

"Fuck off Steve."

"Hey! That wasn't very nice..."

He took a seat right where she was cleaning up. Ana felt the heat rising in her face and knew she needed to get away from him as soon as possible.

She then stood up with the soaked dishcloth and threw it in the waste basket.

Steve had a smirk on as he watched her.

"You look pissed off, anything bugging you?"

"Only you Steve." Ana said as she pushed in the knocked over stool.

"Ouch, you know you shouldn't be so snappy to the man that just witnessed your little romp with the rental cop."

Ana stopped dead and turned.

"What?"

Steve gave another smirk and danced his fingers along the marble counter.

"Oh...just thought your little smooch, might be an interesting bit to bright up at dinner tonight, I bet Michael would be very interested."

"It's true..." Ana thought to herself, everyone knew how Michael and her felt about each other...they were pretty much linked without even acting on it yet.

Ana's cheeks turned bright red and she made tiny fists through her anger, she hated Steve with very bone in her body...she wished he would have died instead of the others.

"WHAT?" Ana snapped as loud as she could, Steve didn't seem bothered and just laughed.

"What's wrong...don't want everyone to know your a two cent whore like Monica?"

Ana could have charged, she could have screamed and attacked him...she could have done so many things to get satisfaction.

But she then remembered how she threw her cup of coffee at CJ, both were wrong on their parts and he very much deserved it...but she was sinking down to their level and felt bad about it.

She then saw the door to the stairwell and she seemed to forget everything, she forgot about CJ, she forgot about the kiss, she forgot about her nap...she just wanted to head upstairs and see Michael.

She knew that everyone must have been setting up the table and putting chairs around as the food was laid out. She knew this was only their third time eating up on the roof since everyone was still freaked out by the low groans and Andy's hungry eyes watching them.

She knew it must have been beautiful up there, the sun was setting and the sky was starting to turn a light orange pink color.

The stars would be out as a soft breeze would pick up and cool off this long never ending summer heat.

She knew Michael was up there and holding a seat for her, she wanted to see him and made sure no one bothered her again.

She then started walking towards it, trying her best to block out Steve's call outs.

She just wanted to join the others and forget about everything.

She opened the door and started up the never ending cement stairs.

She walked higher and higher and then heard Steve behind her, asking if he could tell everyone the look of pure passion once CJ wrapped his arms around her, or when the two of them broke apart from their never ending kiss.

Ana was on the fifth flight and knew she had only one more to go before she heard the roof door.

Then she would relax and forget...

But Steve reached out and grabbed her shoulder saying something about how much of a party Steve and Monica could have with her.

Ana couldn't take it any longer.

She went to spin around to scream in his face, but instead she lost her balance and fell forward as her shoes stumbled from under her.

Her stomach felt like she was on a roller coaster as she went to reach out for Steve's help but he pulled away.

She then fell forward and screamed.

It all happened so fast...

She rolled down and fell forward, her legs hitting the hard stairs and then everything became a blur.
