I'm glad everyone is enjoying this so far...

Chapter 5 - 5AM

After leaving Tyler and Reid's room that night Hailey ended up walking around the exterior campus of Spencer's dormitories. She couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to Tyler. She didn't have to worry about snide comments or perverted remarks that would make her blush or make her feel uncomfortable.

Being around him was humbling, and she enjoyed it, up until Reid Garwin had to blow it for her. She left not long after he barged in on them. Curses flying off his tongue about her best friend. Something that she didn't appreciate, but she knew that Aaron had a tendency of being a complete ass.

The next morning a knock on her dorm door woke her up. The young girl rolled on to her side glancing at the neon green digits staring back at her. Groaning she tore the covers from her body and answered the annoying rasping that was occurring.

"Ugh, Aaron it's five in the morning, what on God's green Earth are you doing?" She stared up in to a pair of familiar blue eyes.

"Wanted to get an early start this morning…" He quipped.

"It's FIVE AM" She exclaimed.

"Call me crazy," He shrugged a stupid grin on his face.

"Seriously, Aaron, what's up?" She asked.

"I ran in to Garwin last night at Nicky's…" Aaron stated circling around her; the young girl closed the door and raised an eyebrow at him.

"So?" She questioned folding her arms over her breasts. She felt uncomfortable having Aaron there when she was barely dressed.

"He said something that sparked my interest…" Aaron mused falling on to her bed freely, not bothering to ask.

"Garwin said something to spark an interest in someone?" She asked. "That's interesting…" her eyebrow quirked up.

"Well it had to do with you, love…" Aaron stated his blue eyes gazing over her exposed lean legs.

"Me?" Hailey's interest was peeked now. What had Reid Garwin said that could have Aaron here at her door at five in the morning?

"Yeah," He nodded his head; Hailey was nervously rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet back to the heel, her oversized t-shirt riding high up on her thighs. He sat up, grabbing both of her hands and pulling her closer to his body. "The little blonde blue bird said that you were falling for his best friend," His voice was salted with jealousy, though Hailey hadn't picked up on it.

"That's absurd…" She stated making a face as Aaron shifted, forcing her to sit in his lap. "I'm just trying to get him in to me… enough so that he'll ask me out…" She shrugged her shoulders.

"So you don't like him?" Aaron asked his lips close to her ear, he could feel the lace of her boy-shorts on his bare thigh, his basketball shorts had rode up slightly when he fell back on to the bed.

"He's good looking, and he's sweet… but no…" She shook her head. So she was lying, but Aaron didn't need to know that, he didn't need another reason to hate the Sons of Ipswich. She shook her head and gave him a swift peck on the cheek. "You should go back to your dorm and go to bed… we still have an hour before we even need to be awake…" She groaned.

Aaron let his calloused finger tips run over the smooth tanned skin of her thighs, circling slowly around her knee caps. She felt her entire body shudder at his touch, his lips lingering on her neck, his right hand wandering up her shirt, stroking the small of her back.

"Are you sure you want to go back to sleep?" He whispered in her ear, he could feel himself getting hard with every touch of her skin.

"Aaron, stop…" She pulled away from him, standing up abruptly.

"C'mon Hailey…" He stood up, his tall frame leering over her, that sexy smile adorning his lips.

"No," She shook her head.

Aaron looked down defeated, setting his jaw, the muscles visibly tensing as he looked back up to meet her green eyes. He bobbed his head up and down slightly and bared his straight, white teeth in a small smile, "I'm sorry… I shouldn't have said anything…" He pulled her closer to him again.

"You should really go back to bed…" She insisted pushing him towards the door.

Without saying another word Aaron gave her a tender kiss on the cheek before disappearing in to the dark halls of Spencer's dormitory. She sighed pressing herself against the cold wood.

Why did he do this to her? Why did he always try and swoon her when she was least expecting it?

Shaking her thoughts, and now fully awake she groaned loudly, she was always glad that they never found her a roommate. She knew Prep School girls they gossiped more than your normal Public School girl did, they were even more relentless.

Feeling a bit unnerved she grabbed her shower kit and a towel and opened the door to the eerily dark halls. Padding gently to the shower's she tried not making any sounds, the rubber soles of her shower shoes squeaking ever few steps as she slipped in to the large bathroom.

She always hated walking down the halls late at night, it was rather creepy, and something that she didn't like to do. She'd rather fight the crowd of anorexic, Barbie dolls than creep around so early in the morning when no one could hear her if she screamed.

She placed her kit in the shower, hanging the towel on the farthest wall, she turned on the water and waited until it became warm to strip off her night shirt and laced panties. She hung them next to the towel and let the hot beads of the water massage the kinks out of her body.

She wouldn't lie, Aaron's hands caressing her body turned the temperature up. Those pink supple lips on her ear, the hot breath on her neck. She had thought about just giving in to him, just letting the sexy swimmer have his way with her, there was nothing to be ashamed of if she did.

But she didn't want to be labeled as one of Aaron's cheap one-night stands. She was afraid that if she let him have her, then he would cut all ties afterwards. She knew how he was with Kira Snider, and she wasn't about to be his go-to girl.

She wouldn't allow herself that turmoil. She didn't want to see that side of Aaron Abbott.

Tyler opened one eye, staring at the digital clock, the blue number bore in to his soul; it was only five thirty in the morning. Groaning lowly to himself he let his arm fall dramatically over his eyes. He hadn't slept well that night, not at all. Thoughts of Hailey Gregory flooded his memory.

The way her lips had slightly parted as he leaned down closer to her, the twinkle in her eye when she said goodnight to him after Reid rudely interrupted them. Everything about her kept his mind stirring wildly. He hadn't been so caught up in a girl since… hell he didn't think he had every been this caught up on a girl.

He shook his head, he had only been talking to her for about two days, and already she plagued his mind? Was there something wrong with him?

The best part was that he didn't feel uncomfortable around her like he did with most girls. She was different, as cliché as that might sound, it was true.

He grunted thrashing the covers off of his toned body. He might as well go shower before the morning rush. He striped himself of his restricting boxers and grabbed one of the mahogany colored terry cloth towels and wrapped it around his thin waist. Sliding in to his favorite pair of soccer slides he grabbed his shower kit and left for the bathroom.

Something bothered him. The random noises of the hallway didn't bother him, the shadows running diligently along the cold walls didn't bother him either. It was the feeling of a thousand needles along his spine that bothered him.

He stood in front of the third floor bathroom and growled lowly, Out of Order the black bold letters stared back at him. Fuck, he cursed to himself.

It was still early; he could make it down to the second floor, shower and then get back here before the morning zoo that would take place because of the third floors inconvenience. Grinding his teeth together he fled to the stairs, descending down to the second floor.

Just as he was pushing on the bathroom door, someone was pulling on the same door and a small startled scream escaped a pair of strawberry pink lips.

A pair of familiar strawberry pink lips, the owner held a hand to her wet chest. Tyler felt a small smile tugging at his lips as he glanced down at the green eyed girl that stared back up at him. The shock was apparent on her face as she looked up in to his blue eyes.

"Tyler," Her voice was hoarse from the scream she had just let out. "What are you doing here?" She asked him.

"Came to take a shower…" He held up his shower kit, giving her a Reid-like smirk.

"I figured as much," She let out a small laugh, shaking her head. "But, what are you doing here?" A bony finger pointed down to the tiled floor beneath them.

"Ah, I couldn't sleep so I figured I'd take a shower, but the third floor bathroom is out of order…" He announced.

He felt his gaze rest over her, her hair was stringy and wet and was hanging in her face, the small beads of water dripped down her neck to her collar bone. His tongue slipped out of his mouth, moistening his dry lips, thoughts of Hailey Gregory in the shower passed through his mind seductively.

"I see," She whispered, her eyes gazing over his excellent physique. He didn't have too much muscle, but there was definition in every area of his body.

The strong shoulders, arms and legs from swimming, a nice flat, well defined six pack, and obvious pectoral muscles. Hailey's gave shifted down seeing the sexy 'V' of his waistline, the terry cloth towel hanging dangerously low on his hips.

She felt her body tense as those long, slender fingers gently touched the tanned skin on her bare arms.

"I'm sorry about Reid…" He muttered resting his back against the frame of the door.

"It's ok, like I said I'm used to him by now…" Her laughter was soft and airy.

"I know, but he can really be an ass sometimes…" He ran a hand through his mussed hair.

"It's all good…" She grinned at him. "Well, I should get going…" She jabbed her thumb in the direction of her dorm.

"Yeah," Tyler nodded feeling a lump form in his throat.

"I'll see you later then…" She gave him a small grin and pushed off of the door and towards her dorm.

"Hailey…" Tyler stepped towards the hallway.

She turned to him and gave him a small grin, "Yeah Tyler?" She asked.

"Do you need a lift to school later?" He asked.

Hailey looked at him and then paused, "Sure, that'd be great…" She grinned.

Tyler smiled nervously running his palms against the towel hanging around his waist. He watched her walk away, the towel grazing along her thighs, the muscles in her calves flexing with every step.

He pushed the door open to the bathroom; he started his shower trying to erase all thoughts of her. His brain failed him, miserably.
