I cant believe I talked to him like that. Holy shit. yes! I give myself a mental pat on the back.

The day pretty much went like yesterday...only worse. The sun was scalding, I was running out of water, and it was almost time for dinner. About an hour and a half. Every time I strike the dry ground with my shovel, it felt like concrete. Stupid concrete. I grabbed my hair and put it in a high ponytail. I put my red cap back on and thought about earlier.

He saved me again. I thought I told myself that he shouldn't need to anymore! I gotta learn self-defense one of these days.

I hit the ground with my shovel.

I can't believe it. The look on his face, it was the most angry I've ever seen him. It was scary how he looked. Smoke was practically spewing out of his ears and his eyes almost turned red. It was like a demon. A cute demon. I'm going crazy.

I kept thinking about what happened the last few days. I digged but my mind was a million miles away concentrating on Squid. I glanced up at him, he was a few yards away. My cap and bangs covered my face so no one could see me gawking at him.

He was gorgeous. Well, in a manly way. Just so attractive, it's insane that someone like this could live!

He had his orange jumpsuit pants just hanging on for dear life on his waist. If they were any lower, I would'be been able to see his crotch! His white t-shirt has sweat stains in the shape of a "V" on his chest and back. He rolled his sleeves all the way up, over his shoulders. That means I can see his muscles. He has very strong arms and hands. Squid's hands looked rough. The veins bulge out and go up his arms. Those same muscley arms that held me not 16 hours ago in my sleep.

Squid's face was a combination of focus, dirt and sweat. He had on his cap and towel but that didn't stop his hair to stick out. His hair covered a little bit of his eyes and the back of his neck.

I noticed his facial features. He had a patch of light freckles on his nose and cheek bones. He had long eyelashes and the deepest set of brown eyes I've ever seen. It's like melted chocolate and his accent is of liquid butter. He had peach colored lips that were masked by the dirt. I can only imagine how soft they must be. Okay, I'm getting in way over my head now.

I ignore my heartbeat and go back to concentrating on digging. But I stopped and touched my own lips with my finger. I wonder...

I've never been kissed before. Yup, seventeen and still foreign to kissing. When I was 12, I used to dream of getting kissed like the actors and actresses on TV. You know, how he pulls her close to him, wraps his arm around the base of her back, he lifts her chin ever so slightly with his finger and boom. There it is. It would gradually grow more deeper and passionate.

I furiously shake my head. I try to ignore my perverted thoughts but it was so hard to when you have the cutest guy you've ever seen only a few yards away!

I hear a clanking sound and I look up.

"Zero, you're done?" Hector starts walking away but turns around and nods his head once.

"Oh. Well, okay then." I frown at my hole. It's three feet deep but the other guys have theirs at almost five.

this sucks.

"Come on already!" Squid yells at me from far away.

"I'm trying, okay?! This isn't easy!" I'm trying my hardest to get out of my hole but theres nothing to grab onto. everone already left and it's almost sunset. Squid was squatting a couple of feet away from me, his hands in his hair, groaning.

"You're killing me, Babygirl!" He gets up, comes over to where I'm at, and offers me his hand.

I look at it, it looks so strong and rough. I look at him, give him a half-smile and put my Hand in his. It fits perfectly.

"Why do you always help me so much?" I ask as he starts to pull me up. He gives my a frown, rolls his eyes and lets go of my hand resulting in me falling back into the hole on my ass.

"Hey! The hell?!" I whine as I rub my butt.

"You had that comin', Babygirl. And don't forget who you're talking too." He gives me his signature glare.

The corners of my mouth rise, giving him a smile. "Sure."

AND THERE WE HAVE IT, FOLKS! thats another chappie DONE! Yeah, I must be butter cuz I am on a ROLL! Hehe get it? Roll? Butter? Hehe...no? Okay.
