I slowly open my eyes and blink a couple of times as early morning light streams onto the bed.

I rub the sand in my eyes as I hesitantly sit up.

The room smells warm and homely-different than usually.

I blink again.

And then, with a painful jolt, the events of last night come back to me.

Will telling me my dad wants to see me, my dad telling me we're moving to Italy, running in the rain, Jessica opening the door...

Oh ! Shit !

I stayed the night at Oren 's place. Charlie is going to end me when I tell her.

But then... she won't kill me if I don't tell her... What she doesn't know won't hurt her.

Right ?

Running into Oren's room, hugging him, taking a shower in his bathroom...

Shit again !

...almost kissing him...

I almost kissed Oren !

Shit !

I turn to look on the other side of the bed and its empty.

I didn't know he goes for morning runs.

But then... what exactly do I know about Oren.

I stare at him until he disappears into the house.

I let out a sigh and get into the bathroom. I find my dress from last night laid on the marble counter. It's clean and neatly ironed.

I come out from the bathroom minutes later. I put on my dress, pick up my bag and head downstairs.

The smell of freshly made pancakes steers me to the kitchen.

I find Oren's dad, Holden and Lexus seated on the dinner table munching on their food. Jessica is standing next to the stove flipping pancakes.

"Oh ! My! God ! " I shout and the four of them abruptly turn to look at me.
