Thank you my dear readers!!!!!
I LOVE you people who have reviewed!
Disclaimer: once again, I do not claim to own anything Stephenie Meyer owns, or in the case of a previous chapter, J.K Rowling.
One more thing before you read. I thought it was pretty clear how Ramsey and Jacob went from rivalry to friendship so fast. But ill try to elaborate on it later on in Jacob's P.O.V.
Thank you!!
"The coast is clear!" I whispered to Mona and Miran after going down a couple of steps to check.
"Ok. Let's go"
We slowly descended the stairs, taking great care not to make any noise whatsoever. I held my pillows tightly in case they fell and hit something and that something would fall and make a sound then my mom and dad would hear it and wake up and then we'd get The Major Grounding and-
So in short, if the pillows fell, lots of dramas could have happened.
"Took your time!" Yehia jeered from somewhere close. We ignored him and continued to try to make our way -quietly- to the area where the T.V. and the boys were.
"Yeah, we watched half the movie already" Ramsey whispered.
Our heads snapped up.
"What?!" we hissed in the darkness, only to realise that it was in fact dark.
Therefore; the T.V. wasn't actually on.
Abruptly there was a light. Mona had turned the torch on. She ran it around the room until it came to Yehia and Ramsey, who were shaking with their faces in pillows.
Dogs.
I threw a pillow at them without thinking. It successfully hit both of them. As well as not hitting anything inanimate.
We continued to make our way to them. As soon as we got there, Ramsey squinted at me in the sudden light. After a moment of analysing me, he smiled.
"Nice Pyjamas"
I laughed and twirled around. In reality, my pyjamas were not so nice. I was wearing an oversized green sweatshirt that I had 'borrowed' from Yehia and really baggy hot pink pyjama pants with a white scarf……
Not very attractive.
"Before we start the movie; we must-" Yehia was cut off.
"There's chocolate in the cupboard on top of the oven" said a voice from behind us. I turned around……slowly.
My mom was standing there wearing a blue nightgown with the back of her hair cascading down her back and the top sticking up (lucky. Ramsey WAS her nephew; she could show him her hair). She smothered a yawn with the back of her hand.
"Beautiful! I'll go get it then" Ramsey sprinted away –more like ran away- grabbing the torch off the couch. We were left in darkness.
"What are you going to watch??" My mom asked sleepily. I gaped and I was sure everyone else was too.
My mom is AWESOME!!!!
When she's half asleep…
"Ten things I hate about you"
Suddenly she was wide awake. "Excuse me???"
I rolled my eyes "Relax mom, Miran's with us. And I'm fifteen-years-old!" I pointed out.
"Oh yeah, that's right."
It was silent.
"I really wish I could watch it with you; but I'm about to collapse any moment now, so I'm going to sleep, 'Kay?"
It sounded like she had turned to walk away, but paused.
"Don't stay up too late. One 'o' clock maximum." Then she continued to walk back to her room and closed the door behind her.
We let out a breath we were all holding.
"Phew!" I wiped my forehead with my hand.
Just then, Ramsey's head appeared from around the corner which led to the kitchen.
"Is she gone??"
"Yep"
He walked to us, his arms filled with packets of -what looked like- candy, chocolate and crisps.
"I miss the chocolate here! The Cadbury over there isn't as good….but it's edible."
While Ramsey poured the contents of each packet into separate bowls –which he had also gotten from the kitchen-, Yehia put the DVD on and Miran, Mona and I talked about out favorite chocolate. We could talk about Yehia's lameness (having all been tortured by it) and never get bored.
And that's saying something.
"We're starting the movie……." Yehia sang.
We instantaneously turned to the T.V. and made ourselves comfortable.

Hot breath woke me up the following morning. I rubbed my eyes and blinked rapidly so I could see clearly. I looked around for the source of The Breath.
When I looked behind me, I found out. Ramsey was lying very close to me. He wasn't touching me (Thank god!) but it was still an uncomfortable position.
I tried to recall what happened last night after we watched the movie. We talked, ate, went to the bathroom, poured honey all over the twins (while they were sleeping….MWAHAHAHAHAHA) and then we fell asleep.
I must've rolled over to end up in the place I woke up in.
I quietly, slowly, carefully got up so I could move to sleep next to Mona. But before I could move to Mona, something wrapped around my ankle.
I froze and calmly looked down at the darned 'something'.
It was Ramsey's hand.
He was holding onto my ankle like it was his life.
I sighed and tried to pull my ankle from his grip.
He wouldn't let go.
After awhile, I decided that I'd had enough and I was going to do the extreme.
I bent down to loosen his hand.
It worked.
I was so relieved, that I forgot to actually move to my destination and to release his hand…….
He held onto my hand instead. I yelped as I was dragged to the ground again, which –finally! - woke him up.
It took him some time to absorb what was before him. I watched him patiently, waiting patiently for him to let go of my hand.
All this patiently, of course.
His eyes widened when he saw but he quickly looked away from me, instead focusing on his blanket.
"Hair showing" he murmured.
He also seemed to realize that he was holding my hand because he let go of it like it burnt him and moved away from me.
I gasped and stuffed my hair back under my scarf.
At least SOME people tell me when they've seen my hair………
Twenty minutes later, everyone was woken up by two loud screams.
Two pairs of feet came thundering down the stairs and the twins appeared. Their faces shining, hairs sticking to their necks and pooh bear Pyjamas crumpled and sticky.
I suppressed a laugh as they eyed Miran suspiciously. She smiled sweetly.
"Something wrong girls?" She cooed.
Everyone burst out laughing.
Soon, we were rolling on the floor clutching our stomachs.
Yeah, I know……..mature.
But hey, sometimes you gotta be immature….right?
I looked at the twins. They were glaring at me with such intensity; I could practically feel their hands around my neck. I cleared my throat and the others coughed loudly.
I jumped up.
"Okay, let's eat!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Jeez Shereen, how long do you take to get dressed??" Miran yelled from outside my room.
"It's enough I have to share the friggen room with you woman! I was overjoyed that I was finally getting rid of the twins. Then you show up. It's only been ten minutes since I started to get dressed!" I shouted back as I tried to decide between a teal gypsy skirt and grey-blue wide leg jeans.
It was very hard.
"Only ten minutes? Only ten minutes?? Girl, you are a maniac!" she banged on the door once. I opened it before she could do it again. I held up the two garments.
"Which one?" I demanded.
She looked thoughtful for a second but then turned to the skirt, plucked it out of my hands and pushed it to my chest.
"Hurry up."
And she closed the door behind her.
I sighed in frustration.
The yellow scarf or the white scarf?

"You know what? Cliff diving looks interesting……." Ramsey stated as he sat next to me on the sand.
I raised an eyebrow at him.
"You want a clap?"
He chuckled then sighed.
"Australia's beaches are way more beautiful." He said after a short time.
"Great Ramsey. You completely ruined the moment"
We grinned at each other then turned back to the water.
It was silent for a long time.
"Did you not want a relationship with me because we're cousins?" he asked suddenly.
I stopped breathing for a second and stared at the water with wide eyes.
Why was he asking me such a question??
No….
How DARE he ask that question??
Damn! What was I going to say?!
I prayed at that moment for the ground to open up and swallow me….
Hah! Cliffy…..
Hey, check out my other friends story……its REALLY funny!!
