Ch 5

After all their planning they were surprised to find no one in the house, on closer inspection however they found Danny passed out on his double, Tom and another friend Sam and Anne's room, with Anne sound asleep on the single in the spare room. Knowing Sam had nowhere to sleep; he slipped his hand into hers and directed her to his room. Silently she pulled off her jeans and his hoodie, placing them beside the bed as he looked for some bottoms to wear. After finding some trunks he slipped into them and pulled back the covers, letting her climb in before getting in himself. They fell into a comfortable position easily, both lying on their sides with her head resting on one of his arms while the other secured itself around her waist. Both quite tied, he laid a light kiss on her neck before they fell into a deep slumber.

Early the next morning she woke with the sun in her eyes, realizing the open blind beside her she attempted to reach out for it, however this was easier said than done as every time she tried to move Martin's grasp would get tighter around her. Finally she managed to reach it, after rolling Martin onto his back and crawling over his body until she could grasp the chord and block out the intruding sun.

Opening his eyes to a slim body above him was something Martin decided he could get use to, however it presented him with an opportunity he could not resist but to take.

She squealed lightly as the he blew a raspberry on her bare stomach, only to find his lips smothering hers a second later, "Shhh," he smiled as he pulled away, "you don't want to wake everyone do you"

"That was cruel," she replied, poking her tongue out and pulling the blankets over her shoulder as she lay down.

"Don't I get a good-morning kiss?" he pouted nuzzling her cheek with his nose until she relented and kissed him.

Snuggling up in his arms again she whispered, "Is it weird that this is not weird?"

"No," he smiled as he kissed her neck, "it's great, but we are going to have to tell them at some stage,"

"Why?" she pouted as she pulled his arm tighter around her shoulder, "I thought we were going to keep it as 'our little secret'?"

"Well it is going to look pretty obvious when I pick you up for a date, don't you think?"

"You're going to take me on a date?" she grinned.

"Of course I am, I want to be able to show you off at some stage."

"But not straight away," she said shaking her head, "Lets warm them up to the idea- remember we are meant to hate each other." They both knew by 'they', she meant Danny, he would definitely require some warming up to the idea of his best mate dating his little sister- he would be against it even without knowing what went on last night.
