I'm on a run... kidding. Just wanted to get that chapter out before taking a short break from everything. I hope I'll update soon again, though I don't know when I'll be back. Personal life is taking it's toll on me right now.

I thank everyone who review so far and especially my close friends!

I DO NOT own any of the characters and the story is just something out of my mind. This is NOT real! Though I wish it was!

Cody cleared his throat once to get their attention… no reaction. He cleared it a second time… still nothing. Tammy and Randy were seriously that much into that one kiss that they did not recognize him. He cleared it a third time, as loud as possible, frustrated, and still did not get a reaction out of them.

*She forgot that I'm here. They don't even recognize me anymore. I'm nothing to them.*

Okay, he was not just frustrated now, he was fuming. Hands balled into fists, teeth clenching, he turned on his heals, slamming the kitchen door shut louder than he wanted.

As soon as he was back inside the kitchen, alone, he let out a silent scream, his fist connecting with the wall as he punched it hard, mumbling under his panting breath.

"I'm nothing to her. Nothing. They're just fucking using me. SHE's fucking using me!"

In the living room, the loud, sudden bang of the door startled both, Tammy and Randy, as Tammy jumped, almost falling of Randy's lap while Randy broke the kiss, clasping a hand over his heart before grabbing her waist tightly, keeping her from falling of his lap. If it was not for his fast reaction, she might have gotten hurt. He cocked a brow, turning his head towards the kitchen door as soon as he was sure that Tammy was safe.

"What the hell was that?"

A growl escaped his lips as Tammy swallowed, staring at the kitchen, before letting go a short gasp.

"Cody…"

She hurried off Randy's lap, straightening her shirt again as she stormed over to the other room, opening the door in a rush.

Randy stayed on the couch, slightly confused about what was going on, eyes focusing on her frame until she disappeared in the kitchen.

Her eyes first met Cody's, seeing his reddened face, tear-stained cheeks, before looking down at him, realizing something.

"What happened to your hand?"

The question startled him as it totally caught him off guard, as SHE totally caught him off guard. Looking down he saw some blood tickling down his knuckles and onto the floor. He gulped down, and instead of looking back up and into her eyes, he gazed to the spot on the wall he had hit a mere minutes ago, finding some blood covering it. His rage and anger suddenly faded and he felt regret and guilt coming over him, holding his bloodied hand, the wrist of it, with his healthy one, chewing hard on his lips as her eyes followed his gaze. As she realized the blood on the wall, her eyes started to widen, suddenly counting one and one together.

"Why did you…" Her eyes went back to his face, seeing his jaw loosen and his cheeks turning crimson red. "Why did you hit the wall?"

As soon as the words left her lips, she gasped, everything coming to her mind in an instant: The gentle touches they've shared, the warm smile that played on his lips every time she was around, the caring words every time she was down, the soft kisses to her neck or cheek when they've been in public, kisses that lasted way too long to just being played. He was in love with her, no doubt about it.

Cody swallowed again, lowering his head as the first words in a long while left his lips in a whisper.

"Don't tell him; please… he's my best…"

She shook her head, still staring at him in somewhat disbelief, watching every movement of his as she interrupted.

"I won't."

Cody simply nodded. It was only a slight nod, but it seemed as if he suddenly did not have the power for more left in him.

"You should clean your hand. Put it under cold water and wrap it."

He raised his head instantly, his eyes finding hers in disbelief.

"You… "

She closed her eyes for a second, sighing.

"Let's not talk about this here and now. Just… take care of your hand and then… leave… please!"

That last word came out in an ordering tone, but still somewhat gentle, not to hurt his feelings any more. Cody bit hard on his lip, tears forming in his eyes as he nodded once again and she left the kitchen.

He stood there for a long while, just staring down at his hand, trying to suppress the tears, trying to suppress the stabbing pain in his heart, the guiltiness building inside him. Yes, he felt guilty: for falling in love with his best friends girl, for somehow letting her know how he felt, for making such a scene…. For making a fool out of himself.

As she made her way back inside the living room, Randy was still sitting on the couch, head turned towards the kitchen, watching her the whole time with a quirked brow as she approached him.

"So… what was it?"

She bit her lip, smiling a little, a fake smile, an unsure smile as she sat back down on his lap, back turned towards him.

"Nothing… just Cody… he dropped something."

Randy wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his head on her shoulder, letting out a short "Oh", not able to see the glassiness in her eyes, the guilt, the shame.

Fact was that she, too, started to feel something for Cody over those past two weeks. Something more than friendship. Something deeper. She enjoyed every single second he was around, all his touches and that beautiful smile of his, the sincere ness of his actions and his words. However… she would be a fool to give in to it. To leave the man of her dreams for a short fling, for something she thought was not more than just a crush.

Tammy shook her head free from those thoughts, leaning into Randy's strong chest, letting out a soft sigh.

"He'll leave in a few minutes… and then we'll have the whole house to ourselves…. For almost 36 hours."

A smirk formed on Randy's lips as his breath became heavier almost instantly, just thinking about what awaited him later. He let his nose trail over her neck, leaving goose bumps all over her body, before he kissed that little spot behind her ear, his breath shooting shivers down her spine as he whispered.

"I'm all yours."

Please review again! Let me know what you guys/gals think about it.
