Chapter Twelve:

Cassie snuck across the fake patio. She was in her p.j.'s which consisted of pink satin pants and a small pink cotton camisole. She slowly unzipped the tent door and crawled in.

Once the door was shut again she went over to one of the two sleeping bags. She prodded the one that obviously had someone in it. After a groan and some shuffling Greg's head protruded from the sleeping bag. His hair was all messed up. It was obvious he was trying to get Cassie in focus. He seemed to finally 'see' her and sat up and looked at the other sleeping bag that was empty.

"What are you doing?" Greg shrieked in a panicked whisper.

"I came to say hi." Cassie said slightly offended at his reaction.

"Where is Nick...he'll be back any minute….oh god you gotta go." Cassie shook her head. "What?"

"Sandy is keeping Nick…busy." Greg raised an eyebrow. "I saw them sneak out earlier." He nodded and then smiled at Cassie.

Cassie kissed him and shuffled under the covers with him. He wrapped his arms around her. "You should go soon, they could come back."

"Mmm, fifteen more minutes." It had been nearly three days and this had been the most time Greg and Cassie had spent on their own for the entire trip. Nick or George always seemed to find their way to chaperone the two.

"You should go," A groggy Greg mumbled into Cassie's hair.

"I know…five more minutes." Cassie answered. It was five in the morning after all….

Cassie slowly opened her eyes. Greg smelled good, like a mix of axe and the woods. She held him a little tighter. Her bed was really uncomfortable. Then she realized they weren't in her apartment…they were on a camping trip with her family….she was in Greg and Nick's tent….they had fallen asleep.

Cassie looked up and saw Nick looking at them. Cassie got such a fright she squealed. Greg sat up dragging Cassie with him since they were zipped into a sleeping bag together.

"What? What?" Greg said incoherently.

"Nick!"

"Nick!" Greg shoved Cassie out of the sleeping bag and turned to see Nick staring at them both. Greg fell on his butt, the sleeping bag still incasing his legs.

"What are you two doing?" Nick looked from one to the other.

"Sleeping!" Cassie said a little miffed she woke with such a start.

"Yeah right, like I am gonna buy that." Nick scoffed.

"You don't have to buy it! It's the truth!" Cassie shrieked at her brother.

"Look, you, out!" Nick demanded of Cassie. Cassie was about to argue but Nick grabbed her upper arm and tossed her out. Her feet were still in the tent and Nick didn't hesitate to shove them out.

Cassie stood and saw her father staring at her over their BBQ while he was making sausages and bacon for breakfast. He opened his mouth to say something but Cassie cut him off with a, "Don't daddy…don't even think it."

With that she stormed into the RV.
