his eyebrows.
    I throw my fork onto my plate.
    "Well," Nathan presses as he taps on his chin, acting intelligent. "We were discussing about how much time Inna and I will be seeing each other." Nathan widely grins. I can feel my eyes bulging out of my sockets. In disbelief, Nathan continues, "I know how much Inna misses me."
    He stretches out his arm and places it around my shoulder. Every inch of my body urges me to chop off his arm! I deathly glare at his arm and then turn to face him, still glaring.
    "I bet you two are going to end up together!" Grady smirks. Truthfully, I think Grady isn't very supportive, compared to Rhiannon. I roll my eyes as I reach his hand and remove his arm away from me.
    Like that will ever happen!

    "Ah!" a girl screams as she awakes me from my beautiful sleep in the middle of the night. I forgot that I slept onto the couch. Why am I sleeping on the couch? I see Rhiannon yelling at something on the ground, while she is holding a broom as her protection. Gradually, I get up out of the couch and slowly walk towards the kitchen.
    "Don't go near that thing!" Rhiannon cautions. I cock an eyebrow.
    "Why?" I calmly ask as I place both hands on my hips.
    "Grady! Grady, get over here," Ignoring my question, she calls for Grady's help. "There's a mutant in the kitchen! Hurry!" Rhiannon continues with her rampage. I walk closer to see a better view.
    Suddenly, I see a sleepy Nathan with those carved abs and pajama bottoms. Oh my god, did I just think that? It's as if he cast a spell on me! "What's going on?" Nathan yawns and stretches. I stare at his upper body.
    Oh my god, his body got into better shape, compared to four years ago... No! Inna, have control on yourself!
    Retrieving from my daydream, I snap back to reality as Nathan glares at my direction. He must've seen me looking at him. I shake my head and avert my attention back to Rhiannon and the mutant.
    "Don't just stand there, kill it!" Rhiannon commands, motioning the broom towards the problem.
    Nathan doesn't hesitate, so he swiftly walks towards the kitchen and sees a mouse, squeaking and eating food remains, which are left on the floor. Nathan grabs a dustpan and the broom from Rhiannon and sweeps the mouse. He orders me to grab a plastic bag. I quickly grab one and he orders me to open it. I obey as I watch him dip the mouse into the plastic bag.
    "Wait, you're not going to kill it, are you?" I warn him. He knows very well that I adore animals, whether it is a small, rodent creature, or an insect. I don't like killing other organisms or species. They have a purpose of living in our world, too.
    "What are you talking about Inna? You should definitely kill it!" Rhiannon squeals.
    Nathan and I ignore her rants as we walk outside the apartment to let the little creature out into the world. I start giggling out of nowhere. Nathan just speculates me with a weird expression across his face. "What's so funny?"
    "Rhiannon's face was epic!" I continue cackling. Nathan joins. We finally stop on the side of the street and let the mouse free. Afterwards, I throw away the plastic bag into the dumpster. I shut the lid and smile at Nathan. "Wow, you were really brave, grabbing that mouse out of our apartment." I compliment.
    Nathan scratches the back of his brown hair. "No problem." He scoffs.
    I come to a stop. "What was that?"
    "What was what?" he asks, acting so oblivious. I smile at him, being so mesmerized by his adorable emerald eyes. Whoa, did I just state that inside my mind? Seriously, this man cast a spell onto me.
    "The scoff..." my eyes roam around the premises.
    "I remember how much you are in love with animals, that's all." Nathan shrugs and continues walking towards the entrance. Then, he completely stops and turns around. "Aren't you coming? It's frigid cold out here!"
    "Don't you just want to stop and stare at the stars?" I confirm while looking up at the dark black sky, filled with white spots, which twinkles during the
