R.I.P to you Corey. You think you can try to scare me and get away with it? Nuh-uh! Not today!

"Okay, that's cute" I smiled widely at the little girl. She grinned and bounced up and down on her toes before running to the corner of room. She opened a cupboard and brought out a container. Then she skipped towards me with the container in her hand.

"See!" She said excitedly, opening the container which held lots of rocks of different shapes and colours. It was beautiful as my fingers brushed them lightly. "This is my wock collection. I used to collect shells but Mommy said I should collect something else so I chose rocks." She explained and I nodded slowly in understanding.

"What other collection do you have?" I asked with interest and she gave a thoughtful expression.

"I only have a collection of dolls and wocks for now. I'll think of something else later." She shrugged. I smiled again at her cuteness "I smell pancakes! Let's go!!!" She bounced and sprinted out of the room, leaving me behind.

Jeez, I guess her food is more important that her new found friend. I dusted my jeans and followed her out of the room. The smell of pancakes wafted my nose and my stomach growled in hunger.

I skipped down the stairs, occasionally letting my eyes roam the house. I got downstairs and heard Ana giggling so I followed the sound, leading me to their kitchen. It was huge and spacy. There was kitchen slab at every side of the wall, except the entrance of the kitchen and a door which she a kept a key hanging off its handle. There was a small kitchen slab at the centre of the room too. And that was where my target was.

"Bewwy!!!" Ana squealed in excitement as she saw me. Gosh, this girl is so happy or is it just me? I grinned but my gaze was focused on the 6'1" tall male specie beside her. He was standing and holding a plate of pancakes, while chewing on one. Ana sat on the slab beside him as she swung her legs back and forth, a plate of pancakes on her lap. Now my target was relaxing in a wide plate glistening with greatness and deliciousness that I can feel it already.

"Those are your pancakes" Corey nodded in the direction of my target. I gave him a mischievous smile and took the plate of greatness in my hand. I took one pancake. Hey there pancake, wanna know a secret? There's a treasure in my tommy. Now let's play pirates!, I thought before golfing down an entire slice of pancake, moaning in delight.

"What?" I asked with a mouth full. Corey and Ana were giving me a look. They looked at each other and it seemed like they were communicating. Ana got down from the slab while Corey helped her, before she ran out of the kitchen. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"I didn't know I was such a good cook. I even made you moan, I must say, I'm pretty amazing" he smirked arrogantly. I rolled my eyes at him and swallowed the pancake before shoving another one in my mouth. He is not wrong but I'm not gonna let him self praise himself.

"Please. It's not even that good, I'm just enduring the horrible taste because I'm famished" I defended leaning against the slab. He leaned against it too beside me and let out a small laugh in amusement.

"Sure. I can tell that you are truly enduring it with the way you are shoving more and more down your throat. And if the pancake didn't make you moan, then I'm guessing it was me" He said the last part with a wink, as I almost choked on my food. I swallowed the pancake in my mouth.

"Obviously, I didn't want to make you feel bad by denying your food so I have to eat it. And if you think you were the one that made me moan, you're bad at guessing" I said with a huff. He threw his head back and laughed again.

"God, you never fail to amuse me" he grinned, his eyes shine with amusement. I winked at him with a small smile. Then I remembered my plan to kill him.

"Corey" I called slowly. He raised an eyebrow at the way I called him as he looked at me. "Can I have a glass of water?" I asked so I can fool him for a while.

"Um..okay" he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion but he went around the slab and took a cup. He went to the dispenser and filled the cup with water before walking over to me. I jumped on the slab so I can sit on it, while I swing my legs back and forth. He handed the cup of water to me and I collected it, flashing him a sweet smile.

He fell for it. Just for a moment. Then his eyes widened at what I was about it do. But before he could escape it, water was already dripping from his hair to his shirt. Yep, I emptied the cup of water on his head. Now ladies and gentlemen, if you ever tell anyone of my fears or my secret, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to teach you a lesson.

"What the fuck Berry!" Corey exclaimed. The neck of his shirt was wet as well as the shoulder. Since it was just a cup of water, it couldn't make him completely wet so just some parts of his shirt was wet. Including some parts of his abdomen. I sat on the slab as I dropped the now empty cup beside me with a smirk.

"Do you remember a doll named Annabelle?" I asked in accusation and realization dawned upon him. The side of his lips lifted up to a smirk, making me narrow my eyes at him.

"No. I don't." He denied and I narrowed my eyes further. Liar, liar, pants on fire. But mine was water though, hehe.

"That you bought for your sister two days ago? And you happen to know a certain someone that is-- I won't say scared-- but has issues with Annabelle? The movie? Does that ring a bell, stupid?" I asked again. He rubbed his finger on his chin in fake thought. Then he shook his head.

"Nope. Doesn't ring any bell" He shrugged and I grunted in disbelief. He was playing games with me right? Well, I always win games.

"Do you have any idea how much I want to wring your neck right now? You are so frustrating and ughh...gosh and annoying. You owe me another plate of pancakes for putting me through so much stress. How could you tell your sister about that? And name her doll Annabelle purposely? No!!! I can't even...." I trailed off as I saw Corey pull off his shirt over his head in one swift move. What was I saying again?

His abdomen was well toned as the muscles arranged in pairs of three proudly lay on his stomach. And now I had a better view of his biceps and triceps that's always seemed to be trapped in the clothes anytime I see him. He folded his hand over his chest again as he the wet shirt hang over his left shoulder. I hope I'm not drooling because this will be so embarrassing.

"Done?" He asked with a smirk and I regained my posture, tearing my eyes away from his body and focusing them on his face.

"Idiot" I muttered, out of embarrassment as my cheeks turned a light pink. Gosh this is so awkward.

"Since you have seen me, I think it's only fair if you do the same" he smirked and I glared at him. "I was just kidding, jeez. Don't kill me with your eyes" he laughed and he started to walk out of the kitchen. I couldn't help but stare at the way his back muscles contracts as he moves.

"Where are you going?" I asked and he stopped, looking over his shoulder.

"My room. Wanna see?" He asked and I hopped off the slab. I hummed and he walked ahead off me, while I trailed behind him.

We walked up the stairs and soon, we were standing in front of a white door. He opened the door and we entered, before closing the door behind him. The walls of his room were a copper brown and the floor was covered with a deep brown carpet. His bed was at a corner and there were two windows in his room, his bed was below one of the windows. There were pictures of him and some faces I don't recognize, grinning. The places he took pictures were all different. There was one that looked like he was skydiving and the background of one was snow, plus many more.

I couldn't help but smile at a picture of him and a blonde girl. Their arms were over each other's shoulders and they were grinning happily at the camera. I felt an ugly feeling in my stomach as I stared at how close they were holding each other.

"That's my best friend" He smiled as he stood beside me. He was now in another shirt. "She comes every holiday. I hope you'll be able to meet her soon" he smiled and looked at me. I smiled back at him and nodded. I ignored the ugly feeling in my stomach and a part of me wishes I was in her position. Wait, what am I saying? I was the one that said I don't need friends and now I'm wishing to be in her position? It's probably the pancakes that's causing this.

"What's her name?" I asked. I bet she doesn't share names with a fruit.

"Jasmine" he smiled at the picture. Does he like her? Does he have feelings for her? "And she's beautiful just like the Disney princess having the same name as her" he added, making me frown.

"Oh" I blurted. He was still looking at the picture, a small smile etched in his face. I looked back at the picture with a bit of dislike. I mean, yes, she is beautiful, he's not wrong about that. But why do I feel so odd? It's probably because I don't have friends and he does, and I want to have friends too. I guess.

"But Disney princesses are not my type" he averted his gaze from the picture and looked at me. That little confession made me breathe a sigh of relief, unconsciously. "I'm more into fruits" he winked before walking out his room, leaving me speechless.

What the hell just happened?
