Shane and Sharon were watching dvd's in her living room. Actually, Shane was the only one watching them as Sharon had fallen asleep on his shoulder. He looked down at her face and smiled softly. He smelt her hair and stroked it away from her face.

She was dribbling onto him in her sleep but he didn't mind. He loved these moments with her, he was as close to her as he would ever get and didn't want that time with her to end.

He grabbed the remote control and switched off the TV. He then shifted his weight and moved slightly so Sharon was almost laying on him. He put his arm around her and closed his eyes.

Just then his cellphone rang and Sharon stirred.

"Fuck!" he whispered to himself, trying to switch his phone off before Sharon fully woke up.

Before he had the chance, Sharon sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked over at Shane and said sleepily "You gonna answer that?"

Shane sat up and answered, he was pissed off."Yea what is it?" he snapped.

As he listened to all Jordan had to say about the events that happened with Rayanne, he kept his eyes on Sharon who was by now,heading towards her kitchen yawning as she walked.

"Man that is one fucked up tale bro" He said, hardly believing what he was hearing. "You guy's are ok now yea?" concern in his voice.

"Ok sure, I'll be home soon. See ya then" He hung up and shook his head in shock.

Sharon saw the look on Shane's face and asked " What's happened? Is Angela ok?"

Shane nodded and stretched out his arms, one had gone numb through Sharon sleeping on it.

"Graff is one fucked up mess" he said..

Sharon ran over to Shane, she loved gossip of any kind and listened intently as Shane relayed what had happened at Rickie's.

"OH MY GOD!!" shouted Sharon after Shane had finished telling his tale. "Shane you've got to be careful on who you bring back to your house now man, you can't just go fucking anyone..you guy' s are like manipulator magnets now you're like famous" she scolded him.

Shane looked to the floor and mumbled. "What was that? she asked. "I didn't quite get what you said.."

"I said I wouldn't have to bring girls back if you'd just go out with me already" said Shane nervously.

Sharon looked at Shane and took his hand in hers. "Shane, we've been through this..I can't"

Shane looked at her hurt. Why wouldn't she just admit how she felt about him.

"I can't do this any more Sharon" he said sadly.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

Shane stood up with a lump in his throat. "I've been waiting for you for ages Sharon, I dream about you and no matter who I fuck I can't get you out of my head. I know we're friends and I do value our friendship..But you and I could be so much more Y'know?"

Sharon nodded and looked to the floor. " I'm not prepared to take that risk Shane, I'm sorry but I can't"

Shane was hurting, he loved her and it was killing him that he couldn't hold her in the way he wanted to, he couldn't kiss her how he longed for and above all how she refused to take that chance.

"Ok, I'm gonna go. I still want you to come to Europe with me, you'll love it and I want you there with me. I just wish Sharon, that just once you would let your heart make the decision and not you're damn head."

Sharon nodded and looked as though she was about to cry.

Shane lifted her chin up with his fingers and looked her in the eyes.

"Laters Cherski" and kissed her on the cheek.

It killed him every-time he kissed her. She was out of his league and he'd just made his last attempt at getting her.

Sharon watched Shane head for the door. Part of her wanted him so badly, but her stubborn streak refused to let her give in to her feelings.

"Shane...I'm sorry"

Shane turned to look at her, his face full of sadness. "Just live a little Cherski, quit being so fuckin scared of everything"

He left the house and Sharon was left alone with her thoughts.
