Kai walked over to the heater wearing just his boxer shorts, he picked up his trousers. Kai felt the trousers, dry, finally! He pulled them on and picked up his shirt, still damp. Ray was in the bathroom he and Mariah been whispering to each other when suddenly Mariah had stormed out of the room for no reason either of them could fathom! One minute she was teasing Ray about his driver licence the next she was storming from the room more angry than either of them had ever seen her before.

Standing wearing just his trousers Kai was about to do a little practising with Dranzer when heard a furious knocking at the bedroom door Ray was still in the bathroom so he went to open it, outside was a very angry Hilary.

"Hi!" Hilary went pink when she saw his attire for a moment just stared at the muscled well toned chest that seemed so attractive,

"Hilary?" she ripped her gaze away from his chest and blushed when she saw him staring at her smirking.

"Oh, I was looking for Ray" she was trying to look anywhere but at him and his bare chest, he was amused and put his hand on her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"You want to see Ray? Are you sure that's why you're here?" he gently brushed his lips against hers and pulled her towards him

"Kai if my dad see's this…" she protested but allowed him to pull her close and melted into his kiss.

"Er guys?" Ray had left the bathroom and was standing staring at them

"Ray, right I was coming here to see you" Hilary was looking flustered

"Course you were! Well I'm kind of busy, besides you and Kai look like your having fun" Ray grinned enjoying this situation immensely.

"Shut up, now why do you have a picture of Salima in your wallet?"

"How did you know that?" Ray was surprised.

"Mariah found it"

"Oh brother, thats why she walked out" Ray sat down on the bed heavily

"Ray why do you have it there?"

"I just shoved it in there when she gave it to me and never took it out! I don't see why she was so upset though" Hilary rolled her eyes at this men don't they understand girls at all?

"Look Ray do you love Mariah?"

"What!" Ray jumped up again "you have no business asking me that!"

"If you tell me I might tell you how she feels about you."

"What?"

"You heard" Hilary seemed to enjoy the look of fear that crossed Rays face

"Do I want to know how she feels? Is it a good feeling?"

"Answer me, and you'll find out" Ray struggled with himself for a moment and then looking a the smile on Hilary's face he finally cracked

"Yes I love her, I can't imagine life without her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her,

is that enough?"

"Yes, Now I have to go see my dad and explain something. Give her about half an hour and then go and tell her how you feel before she uses up all the tissues"

"You said you would tell me how she feels!" Hilary raised one eyebrow at him smiling mockingly, realisation dawned on Rays face, without saying a word Hilary had told him what he needed to know, grinning he looked at his watch, "why half an hour?"

"Trust me" Hilary grinned and left the room walking slowly down the corridor, Kai went after her pushing her up against the wall grinning wickedly

"Well now, where were we?" Kai pulled Hilary towards him, trapping her in his strong arms.

"Not somewhere we can go back to I'm afraid" Hilary pulled away and kissed him on the nose "I have to go see dad" Kai loosened his grip feeling disheartened.

"He hates me end of discussion!"

"Look I have to talk to him. I only just found him again I don't want to have this causing problems between us. I'll come find you later!" He didn't look happy so she kissed his cheek

"It'll be alright I promise!" Kai let her go and standing where he was watched enjoying the way she casually swung her hips as she walked.

Ray stood in front of the door his hand raised to knock, he had been standing there for about five minutes now.

"Are you going to go in or are you just admiring the woodwork?"

"Kai!" Ray shot him an angry glare "Go away"

"Go in" Kai smirked

"I just think that what happens in the few hours between Mariah and I could affect our entire future"

"You think to much" Kai walked lazily to Rays side, he smiled slightly an idea forming in his mind. Before Ray could stop him he rapped three times on the door and walked quickly down the corridor.

--

Mariah sighed and rolled off the bed, she was wrapped in a towel her hair hanging wet around her shoulders, "I'm coming" making sure she was fully covered she opened the door. "Ray!"

Ray stood frozen, he even still had his hand hanging in midair ready to knock.

"Hi Mariah" he glanced down at the towel and watched as she blushed slightly

"What are you doing here?"

"I just came to see you"

"Hilary spoke to you didn't she?"

"No!" Ray shook his head but he had always been a terrible liar and Mariah knew straight away that Hilary had visited Ray. Stepping back Mariah slammed the door shut.

"Mariah?"

"Go away Ray!"

"Please can we talk?" On her side of the door Mariah sighed, she pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt, she was decent so she might as well talk to Ray if he was still out there.

Mariah walked over to the door and pulled it open.

Ray was sitting on the floor with his back up against the door, as Mariah pulled it open he fell back and his head fell against her legs. Ray stood rubbing his head, he looked her up and down Mariah was dressed now (much to his disappointment).

"Come in" Mariah pulled the door wide and he walked in and sat on a bed she sat on the bed opposite to him watching his face.

"About Salima"

"I don't want to know. Why should I? It's not like we were dating or anything"

"Nothing happened between Salima and I we were friends thats all!" Mariah stared intently at Ray, as previously mentioned she knew he was a rotten liar but he really seemed to be telling the truth "Mariah, I'm not gonna lie she was pretty and I had a slight crush on her,"

"The next words out of your mouth better be good"

"And I have had a couple of girlfriends"

"If that was your excuse the next one had better be really really good!"

"Mariah I'm just saying all that means nothing. You are the one I want to be with, you are the girl who makes me smile just by being there, you are the only girl I've ever Loved" after a few minutes of silence Mariah moved to sit next to Ray

"Lucky for you that was good" Ray looked at her she was smiling,

"I love you Mariah" he stroked her cheek again there was a long silence "is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Oh" Mariah suddenly realised what he meant "I love you too, Course I do"

"Phew" Ray smiled, "Mariah look I know that this is all a bit fast. You know I just told you I love you and we aren't even dating yet so I understand if you want to take things slowl..." Ray was cut off by Mariah grabbing the front of his shirt and pulling him towards her

"You talk to much" and with that the girl captured his lips in hers.

--

Kai smiled to himself, he was lying down on his bed his arms fold his head down. Ray had come back from Mariah's room very dishevelled, and smiling happily,

"So Kai how you doing?"

"Not as good as you I'm sure" Kai watched as Ray smirked slightly

"I might be able to help you there"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that Mariah is going to be staying here tonight, and knowing how you hate to be disturbed she is quite willing to let you use her bed. You know the one in Hilary's room!" Kai wanted to be angry why the hell do girls have to talk to each other? He could guess that Hilary had told Mariah what had happened between them, who told Ray who would soon tell everyone.

"Fine" Kai was non-committal in his answer but this didn't appear to dissuade Ray at all he continued grinning.

"Oh come on Kai, is that all I'm going to get from you?" there was silence "Obviously that is all I'm going to get from you. Look don't take this the wrong way Kai but it's not as though I didn't already know about your feelings for Hilary"

"How?" God was he being so obvious that the whole world knew?

"Max told me"

"course he did" Right so now he needed to kill Max as well as Ray and Mariah, when would people stop meddling in his life?

"How is Hilary?"

"She'll be OK, she's with her dad" Kai thought about it, Hilary and her dad both had tempers they could both get very angry. Perhaps he should go and wait for her? Silently Kai stood up, "See you tomorrow"

Ray grinned "hey don't forget we need to see Hilary's father tomorrow morning at 10" Kai nodded and left the room. Ray watched him go so this was Kai in love? Not really much of an improvement!
