good time? Show you how fun life can be?” His eyes danced with an excitement that made me want to get up off the stool and twirl around with them.

 
     
     
    I woke up to the smell of bacon assaulting my nose, and my stomach responded with a loud growl.
    “Is he dead?” A tiny voice whispered.
    I cracked my eye open just a bit to see Lucy and Piper sitting on the fireplace bench staring at me.
    “No, he’s not. He just moved,” Lucy whispered to Piper.
    “His nose holes are opening and closing,” Piper responded, making a gross face.
    Unable to hold it together, I laughed out loud at Piper’s comment.
    “Girls, get over here!” Kacie whispered sternly. “Did you wake him?”
    Lucy cupped her hands around her mouth and turned to face her mom. “We were making sure he wasn’t dead.” She not-so-quietly whispered back.
    I laughed again as they scurried back to the kitchen. Rolling onto my stomach, I propped myself up on my elbows to face Kacie.
    “I’m so sorry, go back to sleep. I’ll make them hush.” She apologized.
    She looked even cuter than she did last night, if that was possible. She had on little black pants that said Pink across the back and made her ass look phenomenal, and a Minnesota Twins t-shirt.
    She’s a sports fan too? This girl just got better and better.
    “It’s ok, really. What time is it?” I rubbed my eyes and looked around for my cell phone.
    “Seven-thirty. I’m making breakfast. You hungry?” she asked, wiping her hands on a dishtowel.
    “Starving.”
    “Wanna help me cut up some fruit?” she asked shyly, biting her lip.
    Can I eat it off of you after we cut it?
    “Sure, I’ll be right there, just gimme a minute to wake up.”
    That was a lie. I didn’t need to wake up. I was wide awake, but if I stood up right now I would most likely embarrass both of us.
    “Okay, everyone else should be down soon. I’d better get cooking.” She smiled again and turned back to whatever she was mixing on the counter.
    I lay there for a minute, wishing the others weren’t coming down. I couldn’t pinpoint what it was exactly, but I liked being around her, especially alone. We had a blast talking late last night. She had no idea who I was but seemed to be into me. I wanted to explore that a little more.
    I got up and folded up the blankets Kacie had given me the night before and piled them on the floor next to the fireplace.
    “Good morning, everyone!” Ashley chirped loudly as she bounced into the kitchen.
    “Morning, Ashley.” I heard Kacie greet back.
    “Hey, handsome.” She cooed annoyingly when she came into the family room.
    I studied her face as she got closer. Who wore that much makeup this early in the morning? She looked like she got smacked in the face by a drunk rainbow.
    “Good morning,” I said back politely.
    She walked behind me, running her hand up my arm and over my shoulder. “Maybe today we can watch that movie?”
    “Uh, maybe,” I replied, trying to be polite.
    I was used to girls throwing themselves at me and handing me phone numbers, even the occasional hotel room key, but I never followed up. It wasn’t my style, and Ashley certainly wasn’t the one changing that for me. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Kacie watching us, cracking a grin when Ashley made the movie suggestion, again. Kacie knew I’d lied to Ashley about having a girlfriend the night before, and she was thoroughly enjoying my squirming. Ashley turned around to look out the back door of the family room, and I shot Kacie a playful glare and shook my head. She threw her head back and laughed silently.
    “How’s the weather looking?” Fred said as he came into the family room.
    “Mornin’, Fred. Not sure, I haven’t turned the TV on yet,” I replied, shaking his hand.
    “Well, let’s check it out.” Fred grabbed the remote and flipped on the morning news.
    “Yes, Bob, raining cats and dogs is an understatement, and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping any time soon.
