"LIAM O'DONOVAN! RAMONA MCKENZIE!" Gina's voice rang through her head. Liam cringed. "I have a feeling she might have a problem with something." Ramona snorted, and pulled herself off the bed. Liam looked at her like she was insane. "If we're going to get shouted at, we may as well get it over with," she said, and reached out a hand. Liam took her hand and used it to drag himself of the bed. "Right, cover story? Or do we go with the truth?"

"The truth." He smiled, and pushed open the door, making to go through it. "Oi, ladies first."

"And men before." She elbowed him and the two walked down the stairs, trying to look as nonchalant as possible. Carmen, Tee and Lily were all talking excitedly together and shrieked when they saw the two. "Oh. My. Gosh. HIIIII LIIIIIIAM!" Carmen said, almost shaking. "Uh, hey..." muttered Liam, running a hand through his hair. "RAMONA! Nice to see you!" Tee yelled, and gave her a huge bear hug. "Tee, you saw me literally an hour ago," Ramona said, hugging her back. "Yeah, just... Ahhh! Gina wants you." Liam nodded, and walked into the living area, looking for her. Sapphire was sitting with Harry, Johnny and Frank, and all four were talking excitedly. "So what happened again Harry?"

"I came in, and they were on the bed."

"Yeah, what else?"

"Liam had his hands on her face."

"But what were they sitting like?"

"On the bed."

"We know that-"

"Hello." Liam and Ramona stood behind the couch, arms folded. "Oh jeez, hi," said Johnny, clearly surprised and embarrassed.

"Where's Gina?" asked Ramona.

"Probably in the kitchen, that's were I heard her last," said Sapphire, thinking. "Right, continue your gossip," Liam joke, and pretended to hit Frank.

"But what if Harry saw it wrong? Or he was later?" Gina was panicking and throwing her hands in the air, while Mike gestured for the two to come in the office. "Gina, they're here."

She spun round to face them, and put her hands on Liam's shoulders. "Tell me now, did you do ANYTHING in Ramona's room?" Liam grinned.

"We looked at her art homework. I sat on the bed beside her. We talked about our..." He paused, and looked at Ramona. "About our acquaintances and what we should do about them. I was going to kiss her, but I didn't."

"You swear that's the truth? Guys, I just need to know nothing happened," said Mike seriously.

"It's the truth," added Ramona. "We promise."

"That's fine." Gina smiled and looked between the two of them. "I'm all for a little romance, but do try and keep it legal babes." Liam laughed, and Ramona blushed a little. "Um, Gina?"

"Yes?"

"Can we leave?"

"Oh!" Gina stood up, and started pushing the two out of the office. "Of course! Of course..."

Liam and Ramona sat on the counter in the kitchen. "I don't really want to face everyone just yet."

"Me neither. I can deal with Frank and Sapphire, and maybe Tee on her own, but not all of them." Liam thought for a second. "Well, we don't have to leave here..."

"What are you on about O'Donovan?"

"Well Miss McKenzie, I think we could just pretend we're being shouted at."

"How?" He reached into his pocket and brought out a voice recorder. "With this."

"Tell me now, did you do ANYTHING in Ramona's room?"

"Gina, I swear-" The voice was drowned out by some shouting, and Johnny winced. He was just walking past, and had heard a lot of yelling.

"Do you think he fell for it?" whispered Ramona from the cupboard. Liam and herself were squeezed into the laundry cupboard, and chatted, playing the recorder anytime they heard someone come past. "Yeah, Johnny's tricked easy as pie," Liam replied, grinning. "Ramona..."

"Yeah?"

"I never really, did much up there did I?" Ramona laughed.

"Well if you had, Harry might have fainted when he had came in." He stifled a small laugh, and fiddled with the recorder. "I mean, we didn't even..."

"This is a sight I'm delighted to see. Mr Liam O'Donovan struggling for words." He stuck his tongue out at her, and she elbowed him back. "Fine. We didn't kiss, and I liked the first one, even though it was a bit wrecked."

"A bit? Is getting beat up not that-" She was cut off by Liam kissing her. She felt like she was flying away, and it was just the two of them in their own world, never to be found again.

He broke away a little, and smiled the smile she adored so much. She reached round him, and held onto him, resting her head against his chest, listening to his heart beat. They stood there, holding each other, and Ramona wanted never to let go.

Suddenly, the darkness got a lot lighter, and the door they had been leaning against swung open, leaving Ramona and Liam lying, dazed on the floor. "You didn't think we would let you have too much time alone did you?" The grinning faces of Tracy, Frank and Sapphire looked down at them, struggling not to laugh.
