Chapter 15: Don't Freak Out till you Know the facts

The warm morning sun pored into Amy's room. She was still wrapped in Shadows gentle grip. They were still sleeping both refusing to wake.

"So you haven't seen Shadow either?" Knuckles questioned as he took a seat on one of the stools at the bar.

"No I haven't and I'll bet you he's with Amy because I haven't seen her either. I'm not too worried as long as I know she's with him but she didn't come home last night. Now I'm starting to think maybe I should be worried about both of them being together."

"Oh come on Rouge are you sure she hasn't come home?" Knuckles questioned.

"I checked her room last night and then went out for while this morning and I still have seen her come in since I got back."

"Did you check her room when you came home?"

"No."

"Well then she's probably up stairs sleep right now." "Come on lets go check."

Rouge and Knuckles headed up the stairs slowly. "What if they make a mistake or something Amy's not ready for that." Rouge worried herself over Amy a lot she was like a sister to her.

"Rouge I'm telling you that's not going to happen."

Rouge opened the door to Amy's room and her mouth hung wide open. "You were saying?"

Rouge looked at Knuckles who just shrugged. "Okay so I'm not right about everything."

"I don't believe it!" Rouge yelled.

Amy and Shadow were suddenly woken by Rouge's ranting. Amy's eyes went wide as she saw the two in the doorway. "Rouge it's not what you think!" Amy blurted out.

"You said you were going to spend the day with him not all night." Rouge had gotten control of herself and was trying to be nice about this.

"You don't understand we didn't plan this or anything." Amy replied.

Shadow had sat up on the left side of the bed and was making eye contact with Knuckles who had his usual smooth face on not thinking it was a big deal at all.

"Rouge nothing happen okay." Amy sighed as she looked Rouge in the eye. "It was raining last night and I told him to wait until it stopped. We were laying on the bed and fell asleep that's all."

Rouge rolled her eyes and turned around to leave with Knuckles. "You two sure were sitting real close on the bed then." Rouge said with a smirk as she shut the door.

Amy ran her hands through her quills as she turned and looked at Shadow. They burst out laughing as Amy fell back on the bed. Shadow rolled back onto the bed so that his upper half was lying gently across hers. "You neglected to tell her that we were doing a little more than just laying here." Shadow mentioned.

"Well if I had told her that she would just take it in the wrong direction and I'd never hear the end of it." Amy sighed as she looked at the ebony hedgehog. "I guess we'd better get down stairs before they start drawing even more conclusions."

Shadow pulled his legs onto the bed and then loosely pinned Amy's wrists to the bed. "Why not just let um draw conclusions…they're probably right." Shadow had a perverted smile on his face.

"Shadow!" Amy yelled playfully as she pulled herself out of his grip and then off the bed. "You're such a bad boy." She said as she stood in front of the mirror that was attached to her vanity.

Shadow slid off the bed and stood behind Amy looking at their reflection as he spoke. "What can I say I'm not perfect…not like you." He kissed her shoulder and then her neck. "And perfection is so hard to resist maybe even impossible." He rested his head on her shoulder.

"Flattery will get you just about anything." Amy smiled as she turned around her arms placed about his neck.

"Yes but will it get me you?" He pulled her closer.

"You already have me." Amy kissed him before walking out of her room and down the stairs.

Shadow grinned as he saw her wink at him from the staircase. He looked in the mirror and ran his hands though his quills. Then he began down the stairs as well.

Shadow wasn't too surprised when he found his other house mates sitting downstairs, and he was even less surprised when Sonic started teasing him about last night.

"So Shadow any particular reason you were at home last night?" Sonic cocked and eyebrow at him and then looked from Shadow to Amy and back again. Shadow remained silent. "Come on Shadow spill how far did you go?" Sonic questioned as he stood next to Shadow in the kitchen; watching the black hedgehog make some toast.

"You know if you don't shut up and leave me alone this toast is gonna go somewhere and I don't mean in my mouth." Shadow threatened.

"Amy is it true that you were with Shadow the whole night?" Cream asked as she sat next Amy at the bar each of them holding a cup of orange juice.

"Yes but nothing happened if that's what you're wondering." Amy took a gulp of her juice.
