Kissing you.
Ike knew he was being obnoxious, but that was the way it always was, he was famous so all the hot girls wanted to know him.
What was going on?
Then Mark and Lacey were standing and walking into the house.
Ike felt like crying.
Tay gazed with amusement as his older brother forlornly looked after Mark and the blonde girl disappeared into the house.
Ha! He thought. Ike’s in love with this girl, but she couldn’t give a crap about him! This is a moment to be treasured.
Holding laughter, Tay jogged over to his brother.
‘Hey Ike, where’s Mark going?’ he asked casually.
‘Inside. With Lacey.’ Ike replied sadly.
‘So why don’t you follow him? It’s your house.’ Tay suggested.
That seemed to snap Ike out of his daze.
‘Yeah! It is, isn’t it?’ and he quickly headed inside after Mark and Lacey.
Lacey and Mark were getting along well and Lacey was feeling better about being dragged over here.
If Mark can stand coming here then I’m sure I can. She thought gleefully.
And she’d gotten away from Ike.
She remembered the way he’d looked at her.
She shivered.
He’s got a thing for me. She thought disgustedly. Great. A Hanson is in love with me. Just what I always wanted.
Let’s just hope Mark feels the same way.
Ike walked into the den to find Mark and Lacey sitting on the sofa laughing at something.
‘Hey guys!’ he called cheerfully.
They turned to him.
He noticed Mark frown slightly and a strange look cross Lacey’s face, but decided to ignore it.
‘What ya’s up to?’
No! This can’t be happening! He followed me in here like a lost little puppy! Oh lord help me!
Lacey fought the urge to grab Mark and flee the house.
Later that night, Chrystal went in search of her daughter to take her home from the Hanson’s.
She searched the whole yard but couldn’t find her anywhere.
She found Ike sitting in the lounge chair by the cold grill and asked him if he’d seen her.
‘No….she actually left about an hour ago. Said she was tired and wanted to go to bed. I remember because we were in the den then Mark left a bit after.’ He informed her.
‘Oh. Oh, that’s strange. She never told me she was going home. And I never saw her turn any lights on in the house.’
‘Maybe she just went to bed in the dark.’ Ike suggested, more now for his benefit than Chrystal’s as the suspicious feel of the situation began to worry him.
Lacey says she’s tired, goes home. Mark decides to leave soon after. Chrystal doesn’t know where Lacey is.
Hmmmmmmm.
No. They wouldn’t. They didn’t like each other. Did they?
Ike began to get worried.
Chrystal shook her head.
Where had she gone?
Fuming, Chrystal bade farewell and thanked the Hanson’s and made her way home.
Lacey was in for a hiding when she caught up to her.
‘Quick! Mom’s coming home!’ Lacey giggled as Mark nibbled her ear.
‘No! I don’t want to go.’ He whined.
‘You have to! Now get!’ Lacey tried to push him away but he refused to budge.
After three hellish hours at the Hanson’s with Ike staring googly-eyed at her, Lacey had announced she wanted to go home to bed.
With a sly wink at Mark, she had left and ran home.
A few minutes later, Mark had joined her in her bedroom and they had been alone for the last hour.
‘Lacey! Are you in here?’ Lacey heard her mother call from downstairs.
‘Mark! You have to go!’ Lacey pulled herself up off the bed and pushed Mark towards the window.
‘Call me.’ he told her and quickly slipped out the window.
Lacey scrambled into bed and pretended to be asleep.
She heard her mother open her door, see her light out and shut it again.
She knew she’d cop it in the morning but it’d be worth it.
An hour with Mark alone and an hour without the Hanson’s.
Sitting on his bed, Ike watched in amazement and sorrow as his best friend climbed out of his dream girl’s window and shimmed down her drainpipe out of sight.
Cursing, Ike threw back his covers and climbed into bed.
How could they do that to him? He thought angrily.
His best friend.
Mark must have known Ike liked Lacey. But he still betrayed her.
Ike tossed and turned restlessly all night, visions of the beautiful Lacey filling his dreams.
A week later Lacey and Mark became an item and Ike felt his best friend slipping away from him.
He would call Mark to ask him to hang out, only to be told he was out with Lacey.
Ike had lost his best friend and the love of his life in one foul swoop.
Life was at a low for Isaac Hanson.
Meanwhile, Lacey was having a blast.
Mark was great, taking her places, buying her things. And they had great make-out sessions too!
And all without having anything to do with the Hanson’s.
Ever since that first night, Chrystal had stopped trying to get Lacey to be civil to them and Mark seemed to be over them so Lacey used the opportunity to break any ties she had with them once and for all.
Living next door to them wasn’t so bad if you didn’t ever have to see them.
Even the Zac one was all but non-existent to her.
And it was great.
One night, she was relaxing in her room when she noticed Ike sitting in the Hanson tree house staring in her bedroom window.
‘What a creep!’ she muttered and ran over to the window to shut the blinds.
Ike recoiled as he saw Lacey walking over to the window.
‘Shit! She’s seen me!’
He watched in dismay as she drew the blinds, stopping him seeing her.
He knew he was being a creep, looking in her bedroom window, but he was desperate, he lived next door to her but she never had anything to do with him.
And to make matters worse, he was in love with her and she’d taken his best friend.
He was desperate.
