The bed was extremely warm and it made me feel fuzzy inside.

However, the sun didn't feel exactly heavenly right now as it touched my skin.

Sighing deeply, I cuddled closer into my pillow and squeaked when I felt that it was warm and hard.

My eyes opened so quickly that I almost cried as the sunlight forced its way into them.

My poor eyes then grew four times their size when I saw beautiful tattoos in my sight. I gasped when I recognized who's tattooed neck was close to me.

Mr Grumpy.

The soft blue coloured blankets surrounding us was at our waists revealed his buttoned up shirt which done nothing to hide his glorious body. I could see the faint lines of his tattoos underneath the shirt. I reckon that majority of his body was covered with tattoos.

I tilted my head up a bit and stared at his face, even in his sleep he looked blank, no expression whatsoever. His chest moved steadily as he laid on his back facing the high ceiling. His hand laid stiffly between us, almost like separating us.

I sighed as I stared at my savior, since the day that I met him he has always rescued me. Such a lovely friend.

I am so grateful for him. I just wish he would accept my friendship. I looked around the room and saw that my camera was on the table.

Quickly I took a snap of his sleepy face. Wow stalker 101. After taking some shots, I laid the camera on the table again.

I picked his hand up gently and shivered when I felt it. His hand swallowed my hand fully but it felt nice, surreal. I held it softly in mine, I looked at our hands and sighed.

After creepily staring at him for a bit I shut my eyes and drank his smell in. My body hummed next to his.

* * * *

"Can you pass the OJ please?" I asked Jasper. I sat on one of the high stools which was swingy. My legs dangled and swayed side to side.

"Sure," Jasper smiled passing me the bottle. I muttered out a 'thank you'.

I twisted my body round and round with the glass in my hands. I squealed when the glass almost slipped out of my grasp. "Annie, stop swinging, you are going to fall."

I pouted at Reece and he gave me a look. I slowly nodded and drank my Orange Juice. I closed my eyes as I gulped down the juice slowly so I didn't choke.

"Hey Reecy boy," Cam said in a sing song tune looking at Reece's plate, "Are you gonna eat that piece of bacon?"

Reece sighed and shook his head, "Go ahead, you already ate my eggs."

Cam gave him a grin before shoveling down his food. Everyone shook their heads. Cam was just too much. I fanned my face with my hands, the air was hot. Too hot. My skin was burning and I was out of the sun.

"So Annie?" Sarah drawled out looking at me. I placed my glass down carefully waiting for her to speak. "Where did you and Adrian disappear to last night?"

Now that got everyone's attention.

I froze for a second. What do I say? Should I tell the truth? No! Uh oh here comes the rambling. "Well so I went to the bathroom to get a tissue because I touched a snail, right? I then screamed when I saw that the snail slime left a," I paused, "Rash? Yeah a rash then I called Mr Grum- I mean Adrian and then he took me home. And we saw this fox on the road and yeah."

Everyone looked at me in disbelief. Where the heck did that come from? Why didn't I just tell the truth, they were my friends well ish? Because you didn't want to ruin this for them. I'm honestly so weird.

Sarah's eyes never drifted from mine. She tapped her chin with her index finger slowly with a smirk. She knew something I didn't know. "Oh so where is the rash?" She said in shock, I didn't know if she was faking it or not.

"Um well M-Adrian gave me this rash cream." I felt extremely nervous under her eyes. Everyone else ate silently listening to us. I tried my best to sound convincing. I bit my lip sitting still on the swaying chair.

"Hmm, that's good. Rash creams always help don't they?" She tilted her head and chuckled lowly.

"Yeah." I felt a knot in my throat as I croaked the word out. Sarah gave me a cat like grin.

"Where is Blade and Adrian?" Bethany asked sipping her sparkling water. Now Sarah's eyes was on Bethany's.

Sarah took a spoonful of her cereal grunting at her. Things were getting pretty scary between her and Beth. And that needed to be solved. From what I gathered is that they both like Jasper.

However, I was having fun, well besides last night. No one knew about it but Mr Grumpy. I think. But who was that guy? How did he know Mr Grumpy.

Speaking about him. When I woke up he was gone. His side of the bed was spotless almost as if he hadn't been there. Was that all just a dream?

I had a frown on my face all morning when I couldn't find him. There was a part of me that felt really hurt.

I mean what meanie face doesn't even say good morning to me? Rude. Rudeolph the red nose reindeer much.

"Oh they went to get some more alcohol." Jasper simply said, he ran a hand through his soft looking hair.

"More?" Bethany's eyebrows raised at this, "Why on Earth do we need more? We have 4 whole boxes of alcohol."

"What's happening tonight?" Reece said buttering his toast. Just as he was about to take a bite Sarah snatched the toast out of his hands.

"Why is everyone taking my food? You guys are all annoying." Reece whines and narrows his eyes at us. "Well except for my sweet Annie." I looked down blushing at the shiny floor. I heard him chuckle lowly.

"So guys," Jasper claps his hands bringing our attention to him, "We are having a bon fire on the beach tonight."

"Is it just us?" Bethany looked at Jasper deeply. What on earth is going on?

Jasper cleared his throat uncomfortably before replying, "No I invited some people."

"How do you know these people?" Reece stared at Jasper curiously. I was as curious as him. I thought he hadn't been here in a while.

"Oh, they're old friends. I travel a lot." Jasper simply said.

At this my ears perked up, "Oh that's cool, hey Mr- I mean Adrian travels a lot too. Do you go together?"

Jasper went still for a second before he gave me a surprised look, "Yeah sometimes. "

He gave me another odd look before resuming to his eating. I shrugged his peculiar behavior off.

* * * *

Everyone was getting ready for the bon fire thingy. Jasper said that everyone would be arriving in an hour. I however kept my little feet moving until I found the door that belonged to Mr Grumpy.

I knocked thrice softly before I gently nudged the door open. I bashfully looked inside the room and holy gooses it was beautiful, although it was very different to the rest of the house.

This room consisted of black, grey and white. One of the walls was glass which showed the beautiful view of the beach. The massive bed laid in the middle of the room with beautiful Egyptian black bedding. Everything screamed wealth.

The room was empty and I wondered where he was. I took a couple of steps inside and stared in awe at the view. Even though I had a similar view in my room it was still breathtaking.

I walked closer to the window and sighed softly. I didn't wanna leave this place. My palms resting softly on the glass.

"What are you doing here Kid?" I jolted away from the window surprised by his voice. I was extremely startled by him. I timidly turned around and saw him standing next to the bed. He looked so perfect in this room. As if the room had been made for him.

"U-Um I just," I paused seeing as how I was stuttering. It was his stare that made me extremely nervous. I bit my lip to give me time to calm myself. His watched me fiercely like I was under a magnifying glass.

I cleared my throat for the third time. I think at the end of this conversation I would be needing some sore throat sweets. " I just wanted to say thank you."

His eyebrow rose at this, he rubbed his jaw absently watching me. He didn't say anything. It was silent. As usual.

"Why won't you talk to me, I'm your friend." I said daringly as I twiddled with my thumbs to distract me.

"I don't like talking. And I'm not your friend." His spat at me as if I was a piece of gum under his shoe. My eyes felt watery and I sniffled a bit.

I felt my heart dropped. I know when I first met him he was totally against the idea of having me as a friend, but I thought after these two months he would finally accept it. I really wanted to be his friend, because I believe that everyone should have a friend.

I swallowed hard feeling like I was going to start cry soon, "Who was that guy last night? He knew about you, about me."

"No one. He is no one." I still couldn't believe he was talking to me. Despite the situation I couldn't help but feel like I was making some progress.

"C'mon. I know he is someone. I-I mean he almost hurt me." I shut my eyes tightly, remembering the way that man's hand felt on me. I flinched before opening them again to stare at a glaring Mr Grumpy.

"You know kid, you attract trouble. " He ran a hand through his hair before crossing his arms over his chest making his muscles stand out. "That's definitely not a good thing."

I was silent when he paused and slowly walked over to me. The sound of his shoes on the floor had me frozen. I felt extremely small against him. Once he was right in front of me he lent down to my ear.

He was too close. I could smell him, the masculinity, everything. I kept still as I felt his warm breath fan over me. This felt like Deja vu.

"So I recommend that you stay as far as you can away from me. Because in the end someone is going to burn, and that's not going to be me."

* * * *

"Wait so why did you curl your hair if you're gonna swim later?" I was super confused with Bethany. Why one earth did she do that? She straightened her gold bikini top frustrated at me.

I was wearing a white strappy bikini top. The sides had triangle cut outs. There was two cute little red bows on the sides. I had on my white cut offs on and a light coloured crochet cover up.

"It's to look hot. Did you not just see all the guys outside?" She said in a duh tone and dragged me outside where loud music was blasting out.

When Jasper said that he was inviting some people over, I thought it would be like 6 people, but it looked like the whole town was here.

The moon shone brightly down at us. The bon fire had already started. Everyone looked like they were having fun. Some were dancing under the stars- cliche. Some people were swimming in the beach and other were just drinking around the Bon fire.

I snapped a picture when I saw this guy fall backwards on the ground. I giggle at my photo. It was captured perfectly.

"Have some fun Annie, I'll see you later. I need to find Jasper."

Before she left I snatched her wrist. "What's going on between you two?"

She bit her lip and stared at me, "Well, we're together but not together. We're like friends with benefits," And then she left me. Damn.

I shook my head and took a step down only to fall flat on my bum. Oh my god. "Holy gooses, this hurts." Tears welled in my eyes.

No one heard me though, the music was too loud and everyone was just having fun, caring about themselves. I sat stiffly on the ground with my sore butt as I rubbed my teary eyes. I disliked that I was so clumsy. This was so pathetic.

I sniffled a bit and rubbed my nose. "Anna are you okay?"

I looked up at Blade and pouted. "I fell and my bottom hurts right now."

My cheeks were hot and red, I looked down at my feet. "Here."

I grabbed his hand tightly and he picked me up, I tried to ignore the searing pain traveling in my body. "You okay now?" He held me close to his chest and I sighed.

"Thank you Blade, you always help me." I gave him a lazy grin throwing my arms over his neck and snuggled my head into his neck.

He inhaled deeply and sighed, "It's okay little one. Come on lets get a drink."

He was about to pull away but I objected, "No. Can you carry me there please? I don't really wanna fall again." I blushed at him and looked back the floor.

He looked surprised for a second before he turned around and bent down for me to climb on him. I giggled softly before jumping on him. I threw my arms around his neck and nuzzled my cheek into his shoulder. "This feels like Deja Vu, doesn't it little one?"

"Yeah it does. " My mind suddenly drifted off to the day when I met Blade. My cheeks were a dark shade when I remembered how clumsy I had been to trip over the lawn mower.

"I still can't believe that you tripped over a lawn mower." I tightened my grip as he moved up some steps. There wasn't many people on this side of the house but most of my friends were here.

"It's normal for people to fall over lawn mowers okay?" I said blushing and he shook his head.

"Hi Annie." Reece came up to us and picked me off from Blade. Blade gave him a look before walking off to get a drink.

"Hi Reece." I mumbled out staring at his curly brown hair. "You need a haircut." I reached up and twirled it. He tightened his arms around me.

"No I don't" He rolled his eyes. "How are you though?"

"Um good. What about you?" I searched his face as I continued to twirl his hair strand.

"Yeah good." He put me down on the ground. "But this crap between Sarah and Bethany needs to stop. Like honestly it's annoying." He groans and I look around for the two. I spot Sarah talking to Cam and Bethany by the drinks.

"Yeah. "

"Annie." Reece paused looking around for second before his eyes were on mine again." You don't like Adrian do you?"

My jaw dropped, "No. I mean I like him as a friend but not like like like."

Relief washed over him and he gave me another serious look. "Please Annie stay away from him. He's bad news."

My eyebrows furrowed in disbelief. "No he is not. He saved me couple of times. He is a nice person."

He held my stare before sighing, "Just be careful."

"Okay."

I giggled softly when Blade kept tickling me. We were seated in a circle with drinks in our hands. There were 3 people that I didn't know. Reece sat on one side of me and Blade on the other.

"Hey Jasper." A blonde girl with green eyes winked at him. She wore a dark blue bikini with a white floral sarong.

"Vicky. Haven't seen you in a while." Jasper smirks at her eyeing her as she bathes in the attention. Sarah snorts at this.

"I'm Donald." A crusty looking guy grumbles out as he sits next to Bethany who is squirming in on her bean bag. No offense.

Donald gave us a blinding smile. Literally, he's teeth were really white. But he definitely needed some lotion, even under these lanterns.

"As in Donald Trump?" Cam gives him a Lazy grin. Donald rolled his eyes and sat closer to Beth.

"The name's Betsy." A brown eyed girl waves at us and sits next to Cam who is staring at her. Cam shuffled on his bean bag to give her more space.

"Okay guys we're just going to play a classic game of never have I ever just to get this started then maybe some strip poker?" Jasper playfully winks at us. I giggled at him and Donald nodded eagerly.

Everyone had there alcohol in there hands. Reece hesitantly gave me a bottle. I looked at the cheap bottle and grimaced. I hadn't drank alcohol before but I wanted to get it over and done with.

The beer felt cold in my hands, I lifted my head and immediately my eyes landed on the familiar eyes that had made my chest feel tight. Mr Grumpy.

"So he finally makes an appearance huh?" Jasper whistles lowly shaking his head at his friend.

"Adrian Miles. Been a while hasn't it." Vicky purred at him and I immediately felt uneasy when I watched her watching him. But I shrugged it off.

"Vicky." Mr Grumpy however doesn't spare her a glance and takes a seat next to Sarah which is opposite me.

"Alright. So this is the way it goes. Someone starts saying Never have I ever , anyone who has done what ever that person stated doesn't drink, but those who haven't done it do drink. Got it." Jasper looks at us. And we all nodded. I was very curious about how this game was gonna go.

"Okay I'll go first." Bethany waved her hands, "Never have I ever drank so much that I threw up on someone." I see that only Reece and Mr Grumpy takes a sip of their beer.

"Hey Anna, you gotta take a sip." Bethany smirks at me. And my eyes widened. I look down at the clear-ish liquid in the bottle. I brought the bottle to my lips and closed my eyes. I then took a small sip and cringed as it came down my throat. It stung. I coughed out and felt my eyes tear up a bit.

"Yucky. " I wiped my mouth and Sarah rolls her eyes.

"First time drinking?" Donald bits his lips and I nod slowly before looking away. That was so disgusting. And that was how the game started. There were a lot of random statements thrown in.

"Never have I ever gotten a tattoo." Besty yells out and wobbled a bit.

I watched everyone and saw that only Cam and Bethany drank. I moved my confused head towards Reece. "You have a tattoo?" My voice had a bit of a slur to it. I found out that I was extremely light-weighted. Blade chuckled when he saw me getting tipsy over half a bottle. And the bottle wasn't even that big.

He ran a hand through his hair, "Yeah got it like a week ago. I can't believe I did it though." He lifted up his shirt slightly and I saw that there was a big black rose with only 4 thorns.

"Ohh I got one." Cam shouts loudly. "Never have I ever slept with someone and their sibling."

I scrunched my nose in disgust as I see that only Betsy, Blade, Reece, Sarah and I take a swig of our drinks.

It was my turn and I tried to rack my brain for a question. "U-Um, " I paused and looked at Mr Grumpy whose eyes were already on mine. I blushed and avoided eye contact. "Um never have I kissed someone." I watched as no one touched their drinks. I blushed and took a quick sip.

"You've never been kissed before?" Betsy raised her brows pointing her finger at me. I nodded my head at her and cuddled closer to Blade. Mr Grumpy was watching my every move and I bit my lip.

"Never have I ever slept with someone in a classroom." Vicky, Mr Grumpy, Cam, Reece, Blade,and I drank.

"Never have I ever kissed a stranger." Cam, and I took a swig.

"Never have I ever gone skinny dipping." Betsy, Mr Grumpy, Blade, and I drank. I felt a little bit more dizzy.

"Never have I ever stolen someones boyfriend or girlfriend." Sarah, Cam, Betsy, and I gulped down the bitterness.

"Never have I been in love." Everyone took a sip except for Sarah, Vicky, Jasper, and Reece.
