"Natalie your room is the third one to the left and Ian yours is the one across it, I think your luggage is already inside. Oh and I'll pick you guys up for dinner. It's in an hour.", Amy stated before turning around and strutting down the hallway, the sound of her heeled boots muffled by the plush maroon runner. Ian watched Amy walk down the hallway fondly. He recognized the familiar swaying of her hips but he also noticed something different about her. There was more confidence and spirit in every stride she took, Ian observed. "When did she get so poised?", he thought to himself.

Natalie leaned against her door and silently observed her brother. She already figured out what he was hoping to accomplish by the end of the trip, Natalie had to admit his plan seemed exceptional and well thought-out even for a Kabra but he decided she'd play it dumb for a while just to see how things would play out. Besides she had something else to focus on, breaking Dan up with his pathetic girlfriend. Though seeing Ian struggling to win Amy's love back and even stupid Daniel running desperately after his girlfriend made Natalie miss her own boyfriend. "I'll see him soon if he keeps his promise.", Natalie thought with a sigh.


At 7:30 Amy, Natalie and Ian sat down for dinner that Nellie had already set up for them on the table.

"Where's Dan?", Nellie asked as she sat down at the head of the table.

"He texted that he's staying at Stacy's, they got into a fight so they're um… working things out.", Amy said carefully leaving out the part about Natalie.

Nellie snorted, "Is that what we call sex these days 'working things out'? In that case me and Anthony are gonna work things out tonight."

"Gross! We're trying to eat you know! And Dan and Stacy are not having sex! They're only 15 for gods sake!", Amy shouted.

"Okay then what did you think those 'sounds' coming from Dan's room were? Ghosts? Grow up kiddo! Just cause you're a 17 year old virgin doesn't mean everyone is!", Nellie teased.

"I'm NOT A VIRGIN!", Amy shouted with rage and embarrassment. This caught Ian's attention.

"Oh really! Please do tell who the lucky guy was!", Nellie said in amusement.

"Ugh I don't want to talk about it."

"Is it Evan? OMG it was Evan!"

"NO IT WASN'T! I really don't want to talk about it!", Amy cried, her was face flushed red.

"Okay then kiddo.", Nellie soothed patting Amy's hand. "Soooo… do you guys like dinner?", she asked the Kabras.

"Absolutely not! Who eats this much carbs? You Americans are so unhealthy! This is simply repulsive!", Natalie screamed.

Ian was to lost in thought that he completely ignored Nellie and Natalie's banter over the meal. "Amy's not a virgin?! Who the bloody hell did she have sex with? Wait… who's Evan? Why did Nellie think Amy had sex with him? Wait- he isn't her boyfriend. Is he!?", Ian thought franticly.

Amy kept her head down in embarrassment. Had she really announced that she lost her virginity in front of her ex-boyfriend, his sister and her au pair! "Thank god Dan wasn't here! He would never let me live it down.", Amy thought in relief.

Amy finally found some gut to sneak a peek at Ian, she saw his face twisted in confusion and his brows furrowed. "OH GREAT! Now Ian's thinking about who I lost my virginity to! If only he would remember…", Amy thought she blushed a deep shade of scarlet.

As soon as Nellie and Natalie's argument had died out there was a pregnant silence between the group, everyone was doing their own thing. Amy was pushing meatballs around her plate, Ian was eyeing his tall flute of Perrier, Natalie was murmuring under her breathe, and Nellie was stuffing her face with food and nodding her head to some song on her Ipod.

Suddenly Amy jumped up, "I'm going to the library!", she announced and fled the room. Then Ian stood up and followed her, Natalie rolled her eyes.

"He does know she has a boyfriend, who loves her more then he could ever.", Nellie asked Natalie.

"My brother loves Amy more than any peasant could.", Natalie said curtly before sashaying out of the room.

"And there was one…", Nellie whispered to herself.

Amy POV

Words couldn't describe sense of relief I felt hen I saw the French doors leading to the my private library. I burst in not even bothering to close the doors behind me as I ran over to the grand oak wood bookshelf and slid behind the concealed door that lead to a hidden spiral stair case. I ran up skipping stairs, my boots making a racket as I fled to the privacy of my sanctuary. I as sure if someone was looking for me they would find me in no time. As soon as I got there I launched myself on to my huge four-poster bed, I felt myself sinking into the duvet. I closed my eyes for awhile and opened them again. I looked around the room and sighed, I loved everything in it from the mustard yellow love-seat to the Japanese inspired floral wallpaper, the bear-skin rug and the autographed The Wanted posters that filled up an entire wall. This was the secret room that I had spent every spare moment in for the past 2 years, the room that I had shared with no one except Evan. "I wish he as here.", I thought. I desperately craved for his warm arms embracing me, I wanted his lips gently pressed against mine but really I wanted to see his eyes the most.

Ian POV

I ducked behind a sculpture as Amy looked around before taking the next turn and disappearing into a dark hallway. "Shit I lost her.", I thought as I looked around the hallway Amy had disappeared into. Then I saw light coming through a door that had been left ajar, "I bet she went in there.", I thought as I ran noiselessly down the corridor. When I got to the entryway I looked inside and found a well-lit room that bared significant resemblance to the library in the old Kabra mansion back in London. Everything in the room was breathtaking the grand chandelier with Swarovski crystals, the massive built-in oak wood bookshelf, the Italian molding, the over-sized leather couch, the hundreds of paintings hung on the 20ft walls, the animal skin rugs and the floor to ceiling maroon velvet drapes but what really took Ian's breathe away was a life sized portrait of Amy in a strapless emerald gown, her hair was flowing down her shoulders in red waves, and her emerald eyes smiling down at him. I heard a faint sigh in eerie silence, it was a sigh that I would never forget. I abruptly looked around for Amy but she was no where in sight. That's when I noticed I little crack between the bookshelf and the ceiling, know that I thought about it, the bookshelf looked suspiciously like a door. My Lucain training kicked in and I walked to the bookshelf and gently pushed it back it didn't budge so I pulled it toward me and it swung open revealing a spiral stair case.

Amy nearly jumped out of her skin in fright when she heard the creak of the trapdoor open and quite foot steps come up the stair case. When Ian reached the top of the stairs he saw a very frightened Amy staring at him with big eyes.

"How did you know I'm up here?", Amy said accusingly as soon as she recovered form a fright.

"I'm a Lucain, love!", Ian said looking at Amy in disbelief.

"Oh really…?", Amy said raising an eyebrow.

"Okay! I followed you here.", Ian said throwing his hands up to surrender.

"Why?", Amy asked with curiosity.

"To talk.", Ian said as if it was totally obvious.

"About what?", Amy said her eyes narrowed as she stared at Ian.

"Us…", Ian said feeling a tad uncomfortable this was going to be harder than he imagined.

"Okay…", Amy said cautiously. Ian was the last person she wanted to talk to right now but she felt oddly comforted by his presence. "It's probably because I was feeling really lonely a second ago.", Amy answered her emotions.

"Where do we stand in terms of our relationship?", Ian asked slowly dreading the answer.

"Ian you can't just not talk to me for six months and then magically appear again and expect me fall back in love with you!", Amy snapped, suddenly feeling defensive.

"I don't expect anything from you. I just want to understand where we stand.", Ian said calmly.

"Oh really! Then Ian you should listen up when I saw that WE ARE JUST COUSINS now!", Amy yelled at Ian.

"Okay then. Fine! Now I understand. Can you please just calm down Amy.", Ian said in a calm soothing voice. He reached for her hand.

"Do you have a boyfriend?", Ian asked making circles on her palm with his thumb. Amy knew she shouldn't let him do that but she enjoyed it to much.

"Yes, his name Evan.", Amy quietly said blushing. She hated the affect Ian was having on her, he had her morph back into the old Amy Cahill, shy and quiet.

"I'm happy for you. You know.", Ian said with a warm smile.

"Thank you.", Amy said relived. She had been stressed out about how Ian was going to take it when he found out about her and Evan.

"Can I ask you a question?", Ian asked.

"Sure.", Amy said cautiously. He wouldn't ask her about what he heard at dinner would he?

"Will you go out for dinner with me tomorrow night?"

"Okay, but just as cousins.", Amy said relieved.

"Really Amy? Cousins? Judging by the fact that we've spent far to many nights together before, I don't think it's appropriate to call me your cousin."

"Okay.", Amy said hurriedly. It was kind of gross having to have made out with your cousin. "Where are we going out for dinner?"

"It's a surprise love.", Ian stated.

"I need to now what I'm going to dress up for!".

"Since when do you care about what your wearing?", Ian asked confused.

"Oh Ian, I've changed you know.", Amy said with a smirk.

Ian stared at Amy he had noticed some changes but judging by the haughty look she was giving him he realized that she had changed- she was more feisty and… he liked it.

"If it means all the more to you…", Ian said leaning in. "Italian.", he purred in Amy's ear.

Amy sat frozen too dazed to respond, this was to much Déjà vu for her to handle.


Flashback

"Stop the car Ian! Ian! Stop the car! Now! STOP THE CAR! IAN!", Amy screamed hysterically, tears running down her face.

"Amy, love! I'm not going to hurt you! Trust me. Calm down!", Ian said. Not even taking his eyes off the road.

"No, your not going to hurt me? Why should I believe you? You think I forgot about the time when you lured me to my death in Australia!?"

"I'm not going to hurt you!", Ian repeated stiffly.

"If your not going to hurt me then STOP THE CAR!"

"No, not until we get there."

"Ian! Please just slow down then.", Amy said as she choked on sobs.

It broke Ian's heart to see her like that so he slowed down the car a bit, he was going 3 times faster than the limit anyway.

"Where are you taking me?", Amy whispered.

Ian didn't respond. He didn't know how to handle this situation, he had no clue what to say.

Amy's chest tighten in fear. She whimpered. She looked out the window but all she saw were taunting trees flashing pat her.

Suddenly the black Mercedes came to a halt.

"We're here.", Ian said.

All Amy could see were the scary dark woods in front of them. She had the urge to run away but Ian grabbed her hand.

"Come on.", Ian said picking Amy up and carrying her deeper into the woods bridal style. Amy was frozen in fear. What was Ian trying to do? She couldn't comprehend it.

After walking through the woods silently for what seemed like an eternity Ian stopped and put Amy down.

"Amy can you please calm down.", Ian said his voice showing some emotion at last.

"No I can not! You kidnapped me from my house at midnight, drove me across town driving 3 times faster than the speed limit and then brought me to the middle of the woods. How the hell do you expect me to calm down!", Amy screamed before bursting into tears.

"I'm sorry love! But I need to tell you something.", Ian said his voice quivering.

"What?", Amy sniffed it shocked her to see Ian Kabra so vulnerable.

"Amy I'm so sorry! I'm sorry for the hell I put you through during the clue hunt! I know what I did is not forgivable but please just please think about giving me another chance!", Ian said dropping to his knees. "Please?"

"Your asking me to forgive you for putting me through hell, trying to kill me, and breaking my heart?", Amy asked Ian.

"Yes I suppose I am.", Ian said staring at Amy with puppy eyes.

"I know it was Isabel, not you, behind everything. So I forgive you."

Ian looked at Amy in disbelief. He couldn't believe the girl he and his family had caused unbearable pain was willing to forgive him.

"Thank you!", Ian said. He pulled Amy into a hug. "You don't know how much that means to me.", he whispered into her hair.

"But why?", Amy whispered.

"What love?", Ian asked confused. What was left to question now?

"Why did you do that? Why did you beg for my forgiveness? You know I forgave you when I found out the truth."

"I didn't believe you could forgive me for all the pain I've caused you. I wanted to hear it for myself and…", Ian said before breaking off.

Amy waited him to finish his sentence but instead he leaned closer and closer.

"And because I love you Amy.", Ian whispered before kissing her gently.

Amy's heart skipped a beat. She had been dreaming about this moment for so long. When they pulled away Amy heard herself say , "I love you too Ian."

Flashback


"Amy?", Ian said as he gently rattled Amy. Her eyes had glazed over and her breathe had sped up considerably over the last minute or so.

"Huh?", Amy said finally returning to reality.

"I think you need to get some sleep love.", Ian said pushing Amy back onto the bed and pulling the covers over her.

"Goodnight Ian.", Amy said before closing her eyes she was very exhausted.

"Goodnight love.", Ian said before kissing Amy's head and walking out.


It was 9 in the morning before Ian came down the stairs in a grey Abercrombie shirt and Armani jeans. He quietly crept into the living room and saw Amy curled up on her boyfriend's lap, her head rested on his chest. They were quietly staring in to each other's eyes. Evan's hands rested on Amy's hip.

"Your awfully quiet today Evan. What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing really Ames, I watched this interesting documentary on the Catacombs in France last night, it's still on my mind.", Evan said kissing Amy's head.

Amy laughed, she knew more about those Catacombs than Evan thought she did.

"What?", Evan asked questioningly.

"Oh nothing…", Amy said. She felt a stare, she automatically scanned the room until they fell upon Ian who was leaning on the door frame.

"Good morning sleeping beauty.", Amy joked.

"Good morning to you to love.", Ian said raising his eyebrow. Suddenly Amy blushed. Evan felt weird just sitting there while his girlfriend was talking to some British model who called her 'love'.

"I didn't know we were expecting guests?", Evan asked Amy feeling a little hurt she hadn't told him before.

Ian noticed that Evan had said "we", as if it were his house too. That really got on Ian's nerves. Amy noticed a vein sticking out of Ian's neck, "Why his he angry? I thought he was cool with me and Evan.", Amy thought. She replayed the conversation in her head 3 more times, and then she noticed it.

"Sorry I didn't tell you that I was expecting guests Evan but I only found out 3 hours before they got here and then I fell asleep early and forgot to text you.", Amy said putting an emphasis on I.

"Oh, then… um. I'm Evan.", Evan said awkwardly sticking his hand out for Ian to shake, he felt dumb for questioning Amy.

Ian shook Evan's hand. "I'm Ian.", he said with a curt nod.

"Breakfast kiddos!", Nellie yelled form the kitchen.

"Okay… then. Now that you know each other let's go have some breakfast.", Amy said before grabbing both Ian and Evan's hands and leading them to the kitchen.

Everyone sat at the breakfast bar with plates full of warm Belgium waffles, crispy turkey bacon and ripe strawberries. Ian looked at his plate and then up to Amy and then back. Amy also nervously eyed Ian.

"Thank you", Ian mouthed.

Amy blushed again dropping her gaze. "He understood", she thought happily, before shifting her attention to her food.

Evan who had noticed this exchange between Ian and Amy sat there flustered, he had only seen them together for about 2 min and Ian had already got Amy to blush twice. "Who is this guy anyway? And why is he here?", Evan thought.

"How did you guys meet?", Ian asked after awhile of silent eating. He had told Amy that he was happy with her being with Evan so he thought he might as well play the part.

Amy let out a long sigh as she remembered the day Evan and her met.

Flashback

It was a chilly November afternoon, Amy was running to the school library to check-out some books for an essay on The French Revolution her coffee sloshed around in the cup threatening to spill over anytime. As soon as she got into to the toasty warm building she made a beeline to the History section. She combed through the bookshelves her eyes shifting from one book to another looking for the right book. In a record time she pulled out four big fat history books. Amy balanced them on her left hand and held her cappuccino in her right as she made her way to the back of the library. When got there she put her coffee down on the side table along with books and sat at window ledge. Amy spent a great deal of time looking through the textbooks trying to memorize everything since she couldn't checkout anymore books until she returned the 20 books she had checked out last week. It was at times like this Amy wished she had her brother's photographic memory, she didn't have to spend hours and hours trying to memorize stuff she could just look at it once and then remember it for the rest of her life. At least history was easy but science really was a pain in the ass for her. Amy had been so engrossed in her textbook that she didn't notice the boy standing in front of her until he cleared his throat, Amy's head snapped up.

"Excuse me. I didn't mean to disturb, but I was wondering if you were done with one of those books.", Evan asked nervously.

Amy froze in shock. The most popular guy in her grade was talking to her! The guy that Alison and her gang would fawn over was talking to her. "Oh my god, he looks sop cute!", Amy thought as she stared into Evan's blue eyes.

"Yeah I'm done with these.", Amy said passing three books to Evan. She was proud of herself for not letting her stutter come out.

"Wow! You finished this in three hours?", Evan asked amazed as he eyed the huge textbooks.

Amy blushed before speaking, "Yeah I did I love history so it was pretty easy." "Wait how did you know I was here for 3 hours?", Amy asked suspiciously. Several encounters with the Vesper's had made her more guarded.

"Oh… um well, I actually uh- guessed.", Evan said struggling to find an excuse. He couldn't really tell her that he had been watching her ever since she walked into the building because he thinks she's beautiful, smart and kind. She'd think he's a weird stalker.

Amy didn't even need help from her Lucian training to tell that Evan was lying but Amy let it pass.

"Are you doing your report on the French Revolution too?", Amy asked curiously a trace of hope in her voice.

"Yup I am, but I don't really know where I'm going with it.", Evan admitted shrugging.

"I'm sure you'll find something after you read those books, they've included several articles and reports written by historians. I found them very inspiring.", Amy informed.

"Is that so? Then do show me.", Evan said sitting down next to Amy.

"Okay you see here…", Amy started

Evan listened intently as Amy explained the articles and her opinions on the revolution. He couldn't help but notice the way she sighed heavily now and then in deep thought then quickly snap out of it, he thought they way she spoke with her hands was super cute but the thing that he loved the most about her was her lovely sweet gentle voice. Evan was so mesmerized by Amy's melodic voice and gentle emerald eyes that he didn't notice she had stopped talking and was staring into his eyes.

Both Amy and Evan felt something as they stared at each other adoringly, it was a gentle tug towards each other, they felt a ridiculously strong need to touch and get to know each other.

Amy felt Evan's big hands on her small ones. They both looked at each other and then down at their intertwined fingers and then back in to each other's eyes. After a comforting silence Evan spoke first.

"Do you want to catch a coffee sometime?"

Amy smiled warmly at him, "Okay, how's now for you?".

"Great.", Evan said smiling widely.

They both collected their things and walked towards the exit hand-in-hand.

Flashback

"We met at the library.", Amy started.

"We had to work on a report about the French Revolution.", Evan continued smiling.

"But I took all the books on the particular subject.", Amy said with a smile.

"So I came up to her and asked for some."

"I gave him three big fat textbooks."

"But I was completely lost and didn't know what to do."

"So I sat him down and gave a long lecture about the book."

"But I was to lost in her eyes to understand a word."

"I figured that out when I finished, because he was still staring at me."

"Well your to beautiful.", Evan said adoringly.

Amy smiled widely and wrapped her arms around Evan and pulled him into a kiss.

"Ewww! Is this how you guys greet me nowadays? Every time I see you your faces are glued.", Dan shouted at Amy and Evan from the doorway.

Amy and Evan broke apart immediately much to Ian's relief, both flushed.

"And you! How could you let that happen?! Those guys are gross! How could you stand watching them? At least you and Amy did your stuff behind closed doors.", Dan said glaring at Ian.

"Dan!", Amy shouted in warily.

"What?!", Evan said looking at Dan then Amy and then Ian.
