It's weird that I am posting so many chapters in one day. Oh well, that's because I have loads of time to spare. :)
Chapter 5
Natalie's POV
I was sitting on the bed in Amy and Dan's Guest Room, stunned at what had happened just 10 minutes ago.
We were watching a movie, and then right after Amy and Ian had gone to get a drink, the lights went out. Even the TV. When I was close to having an anxiety attack, Dan came over to me and hugged me. Then, when we tried to go to the kitchen to look for our elder siblings, I tripped and fell on Dan. Our lips accidentally touched, but none of us pulled away. It was either that we were too shocked, or that we were actually... enjoying it.
Suddenly, the lights came on and Amy and Ian came rushing towards us. Amy helped Dan to his room, as Dan looked too surprised and amazed about what had happened just now to move. Amy shouted to Ian to bring me to the guest room to rest, and he did.
"Nat?" came a voice.
It was... Dan!
"Y...yeah? Um... you can come in, I guess,"I stuttered.
Dan walked in slowly. His hair was blown till messy by the wind coming in though the open window, but he still looked kinda cute.
"Um... can we talk?" he asked, and sat beside me on my bed.
"Sure."
"I'm sorry about what happened just now. I know you are still shocked... and it's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't have... you know..." Dan looked away.
"It's okay," I replied, putting a hand on his shoulder. "And it was my fault. If I hadn't tripped, we wouldn't have..." I stopped short.
Dan turned to face me, his jade green eyes staring right into mine.
"It was my fault,"he said, leaning towards me.
"No, it was mine," I said, leaning towards him too.
"It was mine," Dan argued, his face now just a few centimeters from mine.
"Um... It was mine,"I said, not moving.
"You Kabras... you guys never tell the truth," I heard him say, and before I could react, Dan kissed me again. My body tensed, but then relaxed and kissed him back. It was an amazing feeling that I would never be able to explain.
"Guys...?" Ian and Amy walked in, and caught us.
"Uhhh..." Dan and I pulled apart, but we still held hands.
"I guess we are disturbing you, so... we won't hold you guys any longer," Ian smirked. I could see that Amy was trying not to laugh with happiness.
Our older siblings left us alone again, and we just stared at one another for a while.
"Nat, your brother doesn't mind, right?" Dan asked.
I smiled at him.
"Of course," I replied, and we hugged each other. It was as comforting as when I snuggled into his chest during the 'blackout', only that I felt more safe now.
Hamilton's POV
"What did you say?!"
"I'm not kidding! Look!"
My sister Madison pointed to a sentence on Dan Cahill's blog.
Reagan and I gasped in disbelief.
Dan likes Natalie?!
He had always hated them, called them Cobras, treated them like dirt and never trusted them.
And now?
"Um... thanks for the news, but WHY exactly are you at Dan's blog?" Reagan asked.
Madison fell silent.
"OOOHH!" Reagan yelped, then began chanting. "Madison and Dan, sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Shut up!" Madison looked as if she was about to explode.
"So you DO like Dan," I told her, my arms crossed, smirking. " I'm telling him."
"If you do that, I'll tell Sinead that you like her too," my cunning sister replied evilly.
"OOOHH!" Reagan started again. "Hamilton and Sinead, sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Fine!" I rolled my eyes. The last thing I wanted was for Sinead to know that I liked her.
Suddenly, Madison started doing that 'adorable puppy eyes thing'.
"Guys, please! Will you help me get Dan and Natalie apart?" she begged.
Reagan and I thought about it.
"Deal. We'll do it because we hate the Kabras to the core," I nodded.
"Maddie, do you have a plan?" Reagan asked.
"Course' I do! Listen... ..."
Dun dun DUN DUN!
What is Madison up to?
Find out in Chapter 6, which is coming out really soon! Just need some tension to build up... ... :)
