Rachael: Hello
Mom: Oh hi honey I was just calling to see how things were going.
Rachael: Everything is fine mom.
Mom: Okay, I just wanted to make sure you and your friends were having fun. Oh don't be afraid to call if you need something okay? Bye honey.
Rachael: Okay bye mom.
I hung up the phone and pointed to Tamara. She walked into my room and I followed.
Rachael: Tamara can you do me a big favour?
Tamara: Sure just name it!
Rachael: Okay I need you to tell me if you find Chaz and Kirstyn together. Don’t ask why now just tell me.
Tamara: Yeah sure okay whatever you want.
I ran and quickly hid in a place that I knew no one would ever find me, under the bed in the spare bedroom. Just as I had gotten myself into position I heard talking coming from the closet in the same room. I stayed as quiet as possible and that is when I realized who it was.
Kirstyn: You know she’s pissed right?
Chaz: Well if you would have stuck to the story we wouldn’t have this problem now would we?
Kirstyn: Hey you can’t blame this whole thing on me.
Chaz: Why not? You know that it’s your fault!
Then all of a sudden they became really quiet.
Chaz: What?
Kirstyn: I think I hear someone.
Chaz: I’ll look hold on.
Kirstyn: If you see someone don’t come back in here, hide under the bed or something.
Chaz: Okay whatever.
Chaz opened the door to the closet and ran right into Tamara, who was “it”.
Tamara: Chaz you are so busted. And who is hiding with you?
Chaz: Nobody.
Tamara: Then let me look in the closet.
Chaz: There is no need to.
Tamara: Well if you aren’t hiding anything then just let me look.
Tamara shoves Chaz out of the way and opens the closet door only to find Kirstyn trying to hide herself behind some clothes.
Tamara: You guys better tell me what is going on. Rachael seems to think that there is something going on between the two of you.
They must have suspected that I was in the room because just as Chaz was going to give Tamara an answer I heard the door close. Now what was I going to do? I didn’t know if I could trust Tamara to tell me the truth, so I had to take matters into my own hands. I got out from underneath the bed and approached the door to see if I could hear the conversation.
Tamara: Guys you need to tell her.
Kirstyn: I know and we will.
* * * * *
I knew that if I asked Tamara straight out she wouldn’t tell me what was going on so I had to find someone who would. I opened the door and walked straight into Adrian.
Rachael: Sorry Adrian.
Adrian: Oh it’s okay!
Rachael: Do you know where Tamara went?
Adrian: Yeah she, Chaz and Kristyn walked into the kitchen.
Rachael: Thanks Adrian. Hey can I ask you something?
Adrian: Sure
Rachael: Is there something going on that I don’t know about?
Adrian: Huh?
Rachael: Is it just me or are Kristyn and Chaz acting really weird?
Adrian: You mean they haven’t told you yet?
Rachael: Told me what?
Adrian: Man I can’t believe those two.
With that being said Adrian walked off down the hall. He had not been much help but at least now I knew that something was really going on between the two.
I was too frustrated to play the stupid hide and seek game so I walked to my room. I opened the door and lied down on my bed. I once again looked at the rose that had been delivered to me earlier that evening. Who could it be from I wondered to myself. Just as I was about to read the note again I heard a knock on my door.
Rachael: Go away leave me alone!
Chaz: Baby there you are, I have been looking everywhere for you. I think we need to talk.
Rachael: Really? Are you going to be honest with me?
Chaz: About what?
Rachael: If you are not going to be honest then we have nothing to talk about.
Chaz: Can I come in then?
Rachael: I guess so.
Chaz opened the door and walked in, closing the door tightly behind him. He wanted to make sure that we were going to be alone.
* * * * *
Rachael: Chaz what are you doing? I thought that we were going to talk.
Chaz: But this will be more fun.
Rachael: Not when I am mad at you it won’t.
Chaz: Right I forgot about that. What is it that you want to know again?
Rachael: Um just possibly what is going on between you and Kristyn.
Chaz: Nothing I swear.
Rachael: Well see now you are lying right to my face. Get out! Now!
Chaz: I am not leaving.
Rachael: And why would you think that I would want to look at you anymore? You are lying to me.
Chaz: Why do you think that I am lying to you?
Rachael: Because I thought I knew you and now I know that I don’t! Honestly get out!
I knew that Chaz wasn’t going to leave on his own so I had to find another way of getting rid of him. So I decided to leave the room since I knew that he wouldn’t. I walked out into the hall and Chaz followed me. I saw Adrian and immediately remembered what he said.
Rachael: Chaz honey come back to my room with me for a sec?
Chaz: Sure, there is nowhere else I would rather be.
We walked into my room once again and I closed the door and locked it behind me. I had just figured out how I was going to get him to tell me what was going on! I had to play the part of the fool and make him believe that I truly did believe that what he was saying was true. Little did he know that it was all just part of my plan.
* * * * *
Chaz: So you aren’t mad anymore?
Rachael: Mad? What makes you think I was mad? I was just curious.
Chaz: Oh okay so what do you want to do?
Rachael: How about we tell everyone that we are going to call it a night!
The look on Chaz’ face was the funniest thing I had ever seen. He shock his head in agreement and smiled as I got off of the bed and went to the door unlocked it and walked into the hallway.
Rachael: Okay everyone Chaz and I are tired so we are going to bed. Do whatever you want but just try to be quiet okay?
Mena: So you and Chaz are cool now?
Rachael: Everything is fine.
Mena was the only one that could really tell when I was lying. But we had a signal when it was part of a plan so I gave her the look. I made sure no one else picked up on it and then I left the room. I went back to my bedroom and opened the door. As soon as I ventured inside I saw that Chaz had stripped down to his boxers. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling because he did have a nice body. I was still mad but I had to act like I had forgiven him. That was going to be hard because I always was a pretty straight forward type of girl so I had to try to put that aside for a little while.
Rachael: Wow you look great like that Chaz.
Chaz: Thanks now don’t you think that you should lock the door and come over here?
Rachael: You’re right I really should.
I locked the door and began to walk over to the bed. He smiled up at me and I tried to smile back. He picked up on the fact that it was a forced smile and questioned me about it!
Chaz: Rach what’s wrong? I thought you said everything is cool?
Rachael: It is but I am just bothered by the thought of you lying to me.
Chaz: I thought that you were over that?
Rachael: I am but can you just reassure me one more time?
Chaz: Okay fine Rachael Baby I am not lying to you.
At the very moment those words came from his mouth I got really angry. I wanted to rip his heart out because he lied right to my face and didn’t even think twice about it.
Rachael: Thanks Baby now let’s get some sleep.
I walked over to the corner of the room and changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top. I didn’t care if he was watching me, I wanted him to think that everything was cool. I walked back over to the bed and got under the covers with him. Just then I realized that the light was still on so I told Chaz to go and turn it off. He got out of the bed and did as I asked. He got back under the covers.
Chaz: Baby why are you all the way over there?
Rachael: Because I always sleep on this side of the bed.
Chaz: But it is cold and over here will you please come and keep me company?
I moved over and placed my head on his chest. He kissed me softly on the forehead and I returned his kiss with one of my own on his chin. These soft kisses lead to more passionate kissing and before I knew it I had forgotten all about being mad at him.
