Regan was seeking revenge the fight with the skeleton was meant to have been between just the two of them but that stupid and terribly beautiful women had come and ruined it all. He wanted to go find skulduggery again so he did.

Sneaking out in the cold he poked his head through one of the front windows and looked in there the skeleton was sitting in one of his many armchairs. Regan could see the skeletons jaw moving. He leant in closer and heard what the skulduggery was saying.

"So she falls asleep next to you with her arm over your waist what the bloody hell are supposed to think. Skulduggery put his façade up and began to pace the floor. He threw his hands up saying "bloody hell china why'd you have to go and do that." and then collapsed on the lounge.
What Regan thought the woman had fallen asleep next to the skeleton that now has flesh and skin? Now this was interesting very interesting. Regan waved his hand over his body concentrating when the motion was complete he stood there taller than he had been and a lot thinner. Regan the now skulduggery imposter walked over to a very worn looking car and hoped in. time to go give china a visit he joked and sped away.

He arrived hoped out of the car and raced up the steps. Opened the door to the library and there she was standing by a shelf fondly stroking the binds of books. He walked over to her and she turned and greeted him with slight smile "hello skulduggery. It's nice to see your façade working properly now."

"China, I have something important to tell you. I love you." He said his breathing very uneven.

"Right …, skulduggery I thought you could hold in these fake feelings better than most but seriously." She said turning back but his hand cupped her face brought it closer to him. "No china seriously I do." He lent down and put his lips to her mouth kissing her. She jumped in surprise as the weakness flooded her and she crashed in to him. They were sprawled on the floor there mouths locked together. China took a breath for air and then remembered where they were. Her library in front of everyone probably. She looked around but luckily no one had seen them. Hauling skulduggery up her led him to her apartment room and shoved him though the door. Shutting it behind her she mashed her face into his and kissed him again they fell back into one of the arm chairs Regan's legs which were disguised as skulduggery's were up on one arm rest his head on another. China lay on top of him breathing heavily. "I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me." She said turning bright red and standing up.

"Its okay" said the fake skulduggery "I just wanted to tell you how I felt. I guess I'll leave you now." He stood up and strode out of the room leaving china standing flustered in the doorway.

Regan exited the library and removed his disguise. Just in time because at that movement the real skulduggery came round the corner and walked to the library door. Regan smirked skulduggery didn't know what he was in for.

Skulduggery opened the library door and walked through he looked down all the rows of shelves but didn't find china anywhere. She would probably be in her apartment. He walked over to the door and was about to turn the handle but it opened and china stepped out bumping into him she looked up " oh skulduggery" she said and pulled his face into hers. Skulduggery wrenched his jaw free from her lips and stared at her "what the bloody hell was that for?"

"But skulduggery you were here a minute ago and we were kissing on my chair and on the floor out… you don't remember?" she asked

"I did nothing of the sort." Skulduggery yelled at her.

"But you came in here you said that you loved me you said that…." She looked up at his face and saw the hatred etched there she burst into tears and fell to the floor sobbing. A very UN china thing to do she thought to herself but she couldn't stop it.

"Hey don't start baling your eyes out. Look, come in here and we will talk about it okay. Skulduggery hauled her up off the floor and pulled her over to her bed. They sat down.

"Now tell me what happened. "Skulduggery said

"You… came in here and told me… that...that you love …me and then you kissed me." China stuttered.

"But I didn't" skulduggery said creasing his forehead in frustration. "I just came here now to tell you that… well..."

"Yes you came to tell me what?" china asked her voice growing higher with curiosity

"Well … were friends right… I mean you... well the other night with that incident well it made me think and…. I realise that yeah I … well … china I like you." skulduggery stopped talking and looked into Chinas eyes. She leaned in closer to him and subconsciously he leaned over towards her.

"Well a bit more than just friends "he said before Chinas lips covered his and they kissed leaning back on her bed.

A faint pop broke them apart and they looked up red faced and flustered into the astonished face of Fletcher. Fletcher's mouth was hanging open in shock he was just about to say something when skulduggery stood up fist raised. "Don't say anything or this fist will be through your face."
