When I woke up, I instantly knew it was early morning. Something like 4 or 5. I turned my head to look up at Tyler. His breath came in and out in a steady rhythm. I tried to count his eyelashes wanting to know how many there were but soon I gave up. Why do boys seem to have thicker eyelashes than girls? I heard my mum talking about it to Mrs Simms on the phone the other day, saying how jealous she was of Tyler. I figured that I should try and get back to sleep, but knew that I wouldn't be able to. I slipped my arm from around Tyler and wiggled out from under his.

I stopped to make sure I hadn't woken him and when he continued sleeping, I crawled out of the bed and walked towards the window. The sun was no where near the horizon since it was winter. I guessed it might be 2 hours before the sun came up. I yawned and looked down at my self. My t-shirt was completely ripped and my jeans had even more authentic rips in them. At least I could keep those.

I thought back to where my shoes would be currently and decided to take a trip to town later and see if they were still there. I decided to go on search of some clothes in Evelyn's wardrobe and with that thought in mind; I crept out of the room and into the corridor. By the time I had chosen what to wear it was edging to 6 o'clock and I scuttled back to the room and peeked back in. Tyler had started to snore gently and I stopped my giggles by stuffing my hand in my mouth. The quilt had come down to his waist and some time in the night Tyler had lost his shirt. I knew I was goggling but I couldn't help myself. I let my eyes roam over his body. I started at his head; dark brown and verging on black hair, cut quite short. He probably hadn't shaved in a bit so a light stubble was forming over his face. I let my eyes travel down his neck, noticing the stubble was there as well. He had such broad shoulders, better than Pogue's and Caleb's who were real swimmers and Reid's who lifted a lot of weights.

Hmmm, that's probably how Tyler had such strong arms, Reid probably persuaded him to come along to the gym. It was certainly good he did as other wise he probably wouldn't have been able to lift me. I carried on my inspection of his body. He had a broad chest as well, defined but not to much, more strength than anything. He didn't have a six pack but I decided this was better. As he was breathing I noticed the muscles ripple and thought I might drool. Kira who had always made fun of Tyler for being so quiet, for working hard definitely would have been drooling at this point. While I was checking out his body, I failed to see him open his eyes.

I heard a little throat clearing and lifted my eyes to Tyler's face. He had a very bemused expression on his face and raised an eyebrow. I felt myself blush bright red and finally noticed my mouth was wide open. I snapped it shut and realised now that he had made his muscles ripple on purpose. I decided to laugh it off and made my way to the bed. I rolled my eyes and lay down next to him. He laughed and rapped his huge arms around me. I snuggled into them and would have stayed there forever but my stomach decided to pick that moment to rumble angrily. Tyler chuckled a bit more and let me go; I pouted. "Who said I wanted you to let go?" I cried indignantly, trying to wrap his arms around me again, but instantly stopped. I was being very slow, duh; he didn't want me here, that's why he wanted to get rid of me.

Suddenly trying to fight tears I leapt out of bed. A look of confusion passed his face but then it cleared. "Oh Cordelia I didn't mean it like that…I just meant that there's plenty of time later to spend time with each other…but if you don't want to ummm that's fine with me umm." He trailed off looking slightly miserable and for the second time in 24hrs I saw a light go out of his eyes. The tears instantly dried in my eyes and realised what a mistake I had made. "Ohhh I thought you meant ummm…well…" I mumbled and slowly walked back to the bed. He sat up properly and pulled me towards him. I buried my head in his chest and rapped my arms around his neck. He pulled me into his lap and we rocked back and forth.

I felt his breath on my ear and he started to whisper. "As long as you want me, I will be here. Even after that I will be here, whatever happens. That I promise you." I rapped my arms even tighter around him and he did the same. I tilted my head up and whispered. "Nothing will ever make me leave you, don't you ever forget that. I will always want you." I separated the last sentence. We sat in silence for a moment. Just then my stomach grumbled, urgh, bad timing again. This time he didn't say anything and then in the silence he nipped my ear! I sat straight upright, an electric current passing through me. Cheeky devil. "Sooo that's how your gonna play…" I mumbled and he continued nuzzling my neck with his nose.

I smirked and placed my lips on his shoulder. He froze and I resisted the urge to smile. I trailed my kisses down his shoulder and then back up his neck. He hadn't moved once the whole time but when I trailed my kisses around his mouth he obviously couldn't handle the teasing any more. He grabbed my head in-between his hands and crushed his lips against mine. I wasn't used to this kind of force with him and actually if I was truthful, never knew he had it in his. I pressed my lips harder against his and for what seemed a life time the whole world seemed to be filled with Tyler.

Finally we broke apart for air and with a little satisfaction I could hear he was as breathless as I was. "You are such a tease…" he whispered in my ear. I smiled, mission accomplished. I'd never done 'it' with a guy but I had plenty of boyfriends to know how to kiss. I was a pretty good kisser if I don't say so myself. In the moment of silence my stomach rumbled again and I decided I needed to please it. I gently pulled away and smiled at Tyler. He still seemed out of it so I gave him a peck on the cheek and jumped out of bed. "I'm gonna have a shower and afterwards we can go have breakfast." I said picking up Evelyn's clothes off the floor. "You know that's a pretty good idea, I'll have a shower down the corridor, you can use this one." He said, climbing out his side of the bed and stretching. Probably for me, no wait defiantly for me, he stretched so that all the muscles in his arms and back showed. I rolled my eyes. "See ya in 20!" and with that I skipped into the en suite, locking the door behind me.

I turned the shower onto full heat and let the room steam up. I stripped each bit of clothing and then chucked them onto the floor. I made sure a towel was in easy reach once I got out of the shower and finally stepped in. The heat was a bit of a shock so I turned the temperature down a smidge. I washed my hair with some orange smelling shampoo and made a mental note to buy some of that brand. I decided I needed to shave and set about doing that. When I felt satisfied that I was stubble free, I washed myself again, rubbing extra hard where Tom had touched me, wanting to get rid of his invisible presence.

As I was finishing up, out of the corner of my eye, I could have sworn I saw something and when I looked properly, I decided my imagination was overreacting again. Suddenly the water turned freezing cold, earning a yelp from me and I guessed I had been in the shower for so long that I had used the hot water up. I turned the shower off and found the silence unnerving. Wait, since when had the silence been unnerving? I felt myself getting very chilly, so I stuck a hand out and grabbed my towel. I rubbed my self dry and then wrapped the towel around my body while I stuck my head out of the shower. Was I looking for something? Stupid instincts, always causing you to overreact.

I shook my head at my self and walked over to the mirror, gingerly putting out a hand out to wipe away the steam. Now, I wouldn't want to get smears all over it would I? Preoccupied with brushing my hair out and fiddling with the hair dryer, I failed to notice the shape reflected in the mirror. When I finally noticed it, I was unprepared for the shock.

It only took me a second to scream.
