I woke up to the curtains being pulled back and sun blasting me in the face.

"Good morning sunshine." An English accent sang to me.

"Go away."

"Now, now. That's no way to speak to your best friend."

Alex.

He popped into my line of vision and smiled at me.

"Alex go away."

"Alright well Lianne told me to wake you up at 10 to make sure the jet lag thingy didn't do too much harm."

I looked over at my alarm clock.

"Alex it is 8 in the morning." I deadpanned

"Well I figured I would just let you know that I'm waking you up in two hours. And that my siblings are going to be showing up soon, so don't be too surprised when I wake you up again."

"Get out."

"Alright, alright." He went to the bay window and closed the curtains again before finally leaving.

I rolled over and fell back asleep almost immediately.

~°~°~°~°~°~

Somehow I ended up facing the window again so when Alex came to wake me up for the second time I got blasted in the face with even brighter sun.

"Alright, now it's officially time to get up."

"I don't want to." I groaned and flipped over.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

"How about the way where I not move and you get fed up and leave."

"The hard way it is. Are you wearing clothes?"

"Am I what?"

"Are you wearing clothes, it's really a simple question."

"Um, yes?" I said into my pillow.

The room was quiet for a few minutes and I sighed, maybe he left.

Then I felt the bed bounce and I went flying into the air. I yelled as I hit the floor with a loud umph.

"Ow!" I yelled looking up at Alex's smirking face.

"What?" He tried to look innocent

"That hurt, that's what!"

"Oops, my bad. I didn't see you there."

"Didn't see me there my butt!"

"I warned you."

"Yeah and I'm warning you. If you don't move out of my bed I'm going to attack you, and then go back to sleep."

"So we're still playing this game?"

"The game where I go back to sleep? Yes!"

"Alright so we'll do it the double hard way."

"What?" He got up off of the bed and came around to the side where I was still on the floor. He reached his hand out.

"No way."

"Oh come on." I gingerly took his hand and he helped me up.

I jerked my hand away as soon as I had my stability back and went to climb into bed when an arm wrapped around my waist and threw me into the air. I let out a scream as Alex threw me over his shoulder.

"Alex put me down!"

"I kind of like this."

"Alex!" I started beating on his back as he carried me out of the room.

I continued thrashing and poundimg on his back as he walked down the stairs, casually saying hi and goodmorning to people he passed.

"Let me go!"

"Hold on princess, geesh, so impatient." He clicked his tounge at me and I growled in frustration.

He opened a door and I felt the cool breeze of outside.

"Alex, what are you doing?" I asked cautiously

"Just hold on a second."

The bright morning sunshine was almost blinding so I forced myself to look at the ground.

The grass turned into pale cement as Alex carried me and I started freaking out.

"Alex what are you doing?"

"Calm down, we're almost there."

"Alex put me down!"

"You want me to put you down?"

"Yes!"

"Well alright then." I immediately regretted my last statement as I felt myself being thrown into the air for the third time this morning. Though this time I did not land on the ground.

As I landed water consumed me. All I could see were bubbles as I thrashed around for a couple seconds.

When I finally came to the surface, Alex was standing at the edge, smiling.

He was smiling.

He's going to die.

"You look a little wet there princess."

"I. Am. Going. To. Kill YOU!" I swam to the edge of the pool and climbed out and Alex started running.

I ran after him, grabbing a towel that was sitting on a lawn chair we passed and wrapping it around my shoulders.

"Alex!"

He ran though rooms and hallways and then finally up the stairs. When I turned the corner to the hallway where our bedrooms were located I ran into a particularly hard chest and fell back.

I landed on my butt and the figure above me looked down in shock.

"Who the heck are you?!"

"Well I could ask you the same question!"

"Well this is my house so I think you should answer me first."

"Well technically this is my house now too, so."

"Your house! I've lived here my whole life and I don't think I've ever seen you before."

"Well that's because I just moved here yesterday." I snapped. What was this guy's problem?

"Oh. You moved here yesterday?" He asked rather sarcastically.

"Yes!"

"Are you sure you're not just Alex's girl toy for the night?"

"What?! Ewh! No!"

"Who are you then?"

"Abby! Abby Taylor!"

"Well Abby Taylor, get out of my house!"

"Kenny! She's the girl dad said was moving in here!" I saw Alex poke his head out of a door, I noticed a couple other heads looking into the hallway.

I glared at Alex but he was looking at Kenny who was turned around.

"What girl?"

"Are you seriously that stupid? The girl dad has been talking about all week!"

"Oh. That girl. Well why is she all wet?" Kenny looked back down at me and I noticed how much he looked like Alex. He had a darker shade of blonde hair than him but same blue eyes, the same nose even. Though Kenny was taller than Alex and had more build to him. He also didn't have the freckles Alex had.

Oh and he was also shirtless.

"Ask Alex." I growled

"Oh so that's why you were barreling down the hallway. Well carry on then." He shrugged and stepped out of the way.

I jumped up and started chasing Alex again. This time I had the head start though. I quickly gained on him and jumped on his back, tackling him to the floor.

He flipped over and I pinned him to the ground. I sat on his chest and grabbed his arms.

He struggled for a few seconds before going still and sighing. He smirked at me and said,

"I quite like this." I rolled my eyes. He suddenly jerked and grabbed my own arms. He flipped me over so he was in the same position I was in.

"I think I like this more though." He grinned at me and I groaned.

"You're crushing me." I gasped

He slightly lifted himself up so I could breath. I heard a door open and close down the hall.

"Jeez Alex, get a room!" The voice called before I heard it's footsteps going down the stairs.

"Gladly!" Alex called back, he bent down and softly kissed my nose.

"Ewh!" I squeeled.

"Oh come on princess, don't tell me you didn't enjoy that. Or this." He gestured with his head toward us lying on the floor.

"Not really no."

"So are you awake now?"

"This was all to wake me up?!"

"And also for my own enjoyment, but yes."

"Get off!"

"Alright, alright." He got up and reached his hand down for me to take.

"Oh no. I am not falling for that again."

"Trust me, princess, I'm done."

"Ugh, I'm going to regret this." I reached up and grabbed his hand. He pulled me up and I brushed myself off.

"Not this time." He chuckled, "Wow you are really wet."

"Yeah, let me go change then you can show me the way to the kitchen," I grumbled

"Sure thing princess."
