     CAIT OPENED HER door when she heard the knocking. She opened it to find the familiar blonde smiling at her. Instantaneously, she sprung open her arms to Lili and embraced her in a hug.

     "I missed you!" Lili laughed into her ear, making her hair move.

     "You saw me two hours ago," Cait pulled back and let Lili into the apartment.

     It was the thought of Cait meeting KJ that made her shake. The first time they met was on set and she definitely wasn't this nervous. She thought that maybe it was his smile that caused the butterflies in her stomach, the way that the light dazzled from his teeth and how his little wrinkles in his cheeks would emphasise his cuteness. Or maybe it was his eyes. Oh God, his eyes, she thought. They were the perfect shade of beautiful.

     Before Cait could close the door, somehow the whole cast barged through it and shouted out to her and laughing away. Somehow at the end of it, they were all trap inside a large group hug.

     "That's my hair Cole," Camila scolded. Cait began to giggle then stopped when she felt someone's chest move up and down in laughter behind her. She turned her head to see who it was and she instantly regretted it. KJ's lips were mere millimeters from hers and she was instantly drawn to them. She looked at his smooth, pink lips and her mouth became dry.

     What she didn't know was that KJ was looking at hers as well. He was astonished at how someone could look that beautiful.

     Her bright eyes sat perfectly on her face being highlighted by her long lashes. Her straight nose and luscious lips and her porcelain skin made her look like an angel. Cait's mahogany hair flowed down her back and the sun made the dark strands shimmer.

     KJ wasn't going to lie to himself. He knew she was attractive.

     Cait took in a deep breath turned around making the group split.

     "Let's eat pizza!" Lili exclaimed. She ran into the kitchen like a little girl with her arms flying everywhere. They all joined her even though they knew it wasn't going to end well, "Cait, get the plates; Casey, grab some glasses."

     "This is going to be a long night, isn't it?"

     "Hurry!" Lili shouted eagerly.

     The gang dropped down onto the couches and floor in Cait's living room in front of the television. The night was filled with giggles and screams and the odd call from the neighbor to tell them to shut up. Cait looked around her apartment and she couldn't have been happier with the people she was with. She knew that she had a family.

     "I'm going to get a drink," Cait whisper down at KJ whose head was resting on her lap. Her hand that was playing with his hair pushed her off the seat and she waddled into the kitchen.

     For a while, there was just silence with the odd chuckle from Cole at the movie, but it was a while before she realized she had been in the kitchen for ten minutes.

     Her heart somehow dropped but burst with excitement at the same time as she saw KJ. She was ecstatic to see him but she knew that she would soon mess up and embarrass herself.

     "Found ya'," there it was. The accent. It floated through her ears like a melody, "you okay?."

     "Yeah, just needed a breather," she replied.

     "Oh, so are you saying I make you flustered," he chuckled over at Cait before their eyes locked. His eyes darted between hers trying to read them. Then they stopped. And he smiled.

     The space between them was closing in and KJ's eyes fell upon her pink lips again. She could see it in his eyes. The lust and desire.

     Cait backed up until her back hit the counter and she couldn't help but feel like she was glad that she had stopped.

     "I wanna kiss you so bad, right now," he moved his hand to her waist, slowly and gently, pulling her small body into his. Her hand automatically went to his chest and slid up to his shoulder. His lips slowly grazed hers but it wasn't nearly enough a kiss. Her mouth began to open gently and he sealed their lips together. She hardly had a moment to think before his tongue lined the seal of her lips and, at her grant, delved inside her mouth. Cait's arms slid up and tangled around his neck and her hands in his hair. They split for moment, inhaling deeply before they passionately kissed again. KJ's strong hands lifted her petite body up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He stood up and set her up on the counter and he began nuzzling her neck with powerful kisses. KJ soon stopped and slowly tilted his head down to hers. He rested his head on hers and they stood there for a while gazing at each other.

     Soon enough, footsteps came to the door and it flung open. KJ and Cait broke free from each other and Cait slid off the counter.

     "We're starting Narcos, come on!" Lili whisper-yelled.

      "Yeah," Cait let out a trailed, nervous laugh while all KJ did was look in awe at the most beautiful girl who stood across from him.
