Chapter 9: Never Again, Ever, Ever Again.

After Clint left around 11:30, Hayden still hadn't come back yet. I was a little worried, but I figured she could take care of herself. I went to bed still slightly worried, but after closing my eyes all I could do was count some sheep. I woke up a little while later. Still blinking the sleep from my eyes I heard the front door shut and looked over at the clock, 12:24. Well I must've been Hayden finally get back. I figured I get two birds with one stone, get myself a glace of water and check on Hayden. I opened my door and got one step out before I stopped, and took a step back. This was ridicules. At least the kitchen counter was getting its' full use in. I got a sense of déjà vu. I had to do a full check list; there was Hayden on the kitchen counter, check, with a guy, check, me coming out of my room wishing that I didn't ritualistically eat my toaster strudel on that counter, double check. Except this time it wasn't a friendly conversation. There are just some things in this world I really wish I could un-see and one of them would have to be seeing Hayden and tech guy making out on the counter. I turned to leave shutting my door behind me. I was about to jump in my bed and try to fall asleep, but apparently while playing tonsil hockey Hayden's hearing becomes supersonic.

"Alison did I wake you up?" Hayden called; it was like she was psychic sometimes.

"Aw crap." I sighed, opening my door and walking into the kitchen area. I couldn't tell who was more embarrassed, Hayden or me, and then again I think tech guy could've given us both a run for our money.

"I'm going to get going, I had a great night tonight, bye Hayden." Tech guy said fixing his shirt and pants, I could barely help suppressing an eye roll. Hayden walked him to the door and said a quick bye before shutting and locking the door. I focused my attention to the kitchen counter; I need to find a different place to make my toaster strudel, or at least a different place to eat it.

"Well that was interesting to say the least." Hayden said running her hand through her hair.

"Never again, ever, ever again." I mumbled my eyes still fixed on the kitchen counter, still unable to get the image of Hayden and the tech guy making-out on it.

"What are you mumbling over there?"

"I was saying to myself how I need a new place to eat my toaster strudel now." Hayden let out a snort.

"What's wrong with the kitchen counter?" Hayden asked crossing her arms.

"Well nothing is wrong with it except the fact that the image of you and tech guy on it kind of makes it hard to eat there." I said finally turning and looking at Hayden, in which she snorted again.

"Then I guess you are just going to have to make your own memories there with Clint." Hayden remarked with a grin that made me roll my eyes.

"Hayden I don't "do" stuff like that."

"What do you mean you don't do stuff like that?" I looked away hoping and praying Hayden wouldn't guess it.

"Oh my God!" Hayden said with a joyous look in her eyes, I was too late.

*~ƸӜƷ~*

"You've never had a boyfriend before have you?" I asked, but Alison said nothing.

"Alison?" I pressed getting closer to her so I could see her reaction. I had a sparkle in my eyes that because I was not letting this down.

"Don't we need a rug right over there?" Alison asked pointing to the middle of the kitchen floor.

"Alison Dalton don't you dare try and just shrug this off. You've never had a boyfriend before, have you?"

"Well not really, I mean, I went on a couple dates in high school, and then I've had marks that I've done stuff with-"

"What do you mean do stuff with? Alison Dalton do you mean to tell me that you are not a virgin and you have had relations with a man, but you've never had a boyfriend! Oh my Alison what are we going to do with you!" I said with a smile.

"Hayden that's not what I meant, I have never let it get that far." Alison said with a stern expression.

"Oh so you make out with them and then drop-em, Alison some would call you a tease."

"I'm not a tease, I was a tease."

"So you admit you were a tease."

"Hayden just please drop it."

"Alison, come on talk to me about this." I said motioning for her to follow me into the living room. I sat down on the couch and Alison did too.

"How about this, for each question I ask you I'll answer it too." I said hoping she would agree.

"Okay, what do you want to know?" Alison asked finally giving up, I just hope my smile didn't give away the happiness of my success.

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

"No, now your turn."

"You have to give more detail than that, like why?"

"I kind of kept people at a distance, and then later on it was best not to get attracted to people." Alison said looking at her hands as she talked.

"Well I've had a couple, two in high school and one right before coming here, next question, virgin?"

"What?" Alison asked looking up totally shell shocked.

"Are you a virgin? Just because you haven't had a boyfriend doesn't mean-"

"Hayden I know what you mean, I'm technically not." What the heck did she mean by technically?

"What do you mean technically? You either are or not-oh." Once I saw Alison's face I understood.

"Oh my God Alison I'm so sorry." I felt so bad. Alison kept her face even and unreadable.

"No it's fine you didn't know."

"Um well if it makes you feel better I'm not a virgin either." I said trying to lighten the mood.

"That's unexpected." Alison said with a small teasing grin.

"Okay next question, What did you and Clint do after I left?" I asked raising one of my eyebrows.

"We talked and watched another movie." Alison said simply, but I didn't believe her and her checks had a hint of red to them that told me she was hiding something.

"And what else?" I asked watching her and the most unexpected thing happened. Alison became like a gossiping school girl with the giggles. Which unfortunately for her gave her away.

"You guys kissed didn't you!" I said with a grin.

"No, no." Alison stated, but the dark shade of red she had turned told me something else.

"Alison you don't have to be embarrassed to talk to me about this."

"Okay then what did you do after you left Clint and I?" Alison asked.

"I went to the tech room and then spent some time distracting Lucas." I stated clearly, Alison got the message in my statement and closed her eyes.

"Why did I even ask." Alison asked then yawned. She looked tired and I felt pretty tired.

"Would you prefer we stopped talking?" I asked giving my own yawn.

"I'd prefer we go to bed it's late or early, whichever way you want to look at it." Alison said yawning then got up and walked towards her room.

"Okay goodnight." I said getting up and going to my room. I flopped down on my bed, cuddled up with my blanket and before I knew it I was fast asleep.
