"Sue, I told you I'm alright now, and even Reeds agreed!" Johnny said, pushing his sister away from him. It was the next morning and Johnny had gone into the kitchen to get food. Sue, who had been sitting reading the newspaper, had instantly told him to get back to bed. Amara was watching it all, enjoying every second. Being an only child, as she was, she wasn't used to watching siblings fight, but she found it funny. Sue shot Reed a look that clearly meant 'Help me," but Reed just pretended not to see.

"Susie, seriously he's ok. You should trust Reed's judgement." Ben said.

"Yeah, listen to Pebbles." Johnny added, making Amara laugh even more.

"Reed, I've arranged my Mum and Dad's funeral to be on Tuesday, can you ring your mum and invite her?" Amara asked. Reed nodded.

"Of course, I'll make sure they fly here on Monday." He said. "Which means Johnny; you get to take the sofa again."

"Oh man, why is it always me?" He demanded, pretending to sulk. He glanced at Amara; Can I sleep in your room? He thought to her. She nodded her head slightly and he grinned.

"Don't complain at least you have 2 more nights in your room, I have to find a hotel tomorrow." Ben said. "Don't want to scare the family." He said imitating Reed. Johnny and Amara cracked up, and even Sue had to chuckle slightly.

"It'll only be for a few days Ben, I'm sure you can manage." Reed replied stiffly. Ben just nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

"I'm going for a walk," He shouted.

"Make sure no one mistakes you as a statue!" Johnny called back. "I'm gonna go hit the gym, anyone want to come?" He asked.

"I will," Sue replied.

"Yeah, me two, I haven't been for ages." Amara agreed. They left the kitchen and went into their separate rooms. Within 10 minutes they were walking into the local gym, Harry's Gym, and got changed into their gym clothing.

"I'm going on the treadmill," Amara told Johnny and Sue.

"Have fun, I'll be in the weights section," Johnny replied.

"I think I'll go on one of the machines," Susie said and walked towards one.

"So, Amara, you sure you wanna share your room with me?" Johnny asked slyly.

"Yes Johnny, I think I can manage it," Amara replied. "Have a fun work out." Johnny watched her walk away, he was mesmerized.

"Hey, you actually gonna work out? This isn't a place for staring at young ladies." Said a feminine voice behind him. Johnny snapped his attention from the retreating form of Amara.

"I wasn't uh…staring," he said as he saw the owner of the voice. She was beautiful. She had dark brown eyes and blondey-brown hair that went down to the small of her back. Johnny was amazed by the style of it, parts of it were curly and parts were just straight. He grinned. "OK, you caught me." He said.

"Yes I did, lucky me." She flirted, and of course Johnny rose to the occasion.

"Lucky you? You're right there honey." He replied. "How about I pick you up later and we go clubbing?"

"Hm, I'll think about it," she replied pretending to think. "How about I say yes after you tell me your name."

"Fine by me, I'm Johnny. What's your name?" He asked.

"I'm Mina, and yes I'd love to go out with you tonight Johnny. I'll meet you here at 9." She said before kissing him. She walked away with without another word and then she walked off. Johnny started after her. After he finally tore his gaze away from her he looked up and saw Amara.

"Hey 'Mara," Johnny greeted. Amara just stared at him and then ran out of the gym. Johnny stood there feeling very confused. Women…Johnny thought. He turned around and walked into the weights room. He spent over an hour lifting different weights.

"Johnny, have you seen Amara? I can't find her anywhere." Sue asked, sounding worried.

"Yeah, I saw her just over an hour ago. I said hi but she ran out of the building." Johnny replied.

"I wonder what made her run away," She thought for a minute. "Johnny, what happened just before she ran out?"

"I met this hot girl called Mina. I was arranging to go out with her tonight. Then we kissed. Why?" He asked.

"Oh Johnny, you're so dumb!" she said and then she walked out of the room.

"Why? What's happened?" he called after her. He followed her out of the room to get changed.
