"Hi Ms. Chrissy, Sir Alex, Sir Dan and West." Nancy greeted us as we entered the living room. 

"Hi" I greeted back.

"Hi Nancy." Alex and West said at the same time.

Daniel nodded his head as an aknowledgement.

"I cooked lunch....." she said trailing off. 

"Well, I'm starving. What about you Chrissy?" Alex said. 

"Yeah. I'm starving to." I said then looked at West. "You?" I asked.

"I will never miss Nancy's dish for anything." he said then grabbed Alex's hand and my hand.

"What did you cook?" Alex asked.

"I cooked beef Stroganoff, Meatball Nirvana and Onion rings." she said cheerfully.

"Those are Daniel's favorite but I think he's not intereseted..." she continued then let out a sigh.

"Don't mind him. He's just a jerk. No offence to you Alex." I said, trying to comfort Nancy. 

She cried. Her cry was not just sad. She looked guilty, hurt and she looked like she felt bad.

Riiiiing* Riiiiiing*

The telephone rang.  "I'll get that first." she said then walked to the telephone. I tried to listen to them of course. 

"Hun, How are you?........... Yeah. THey are good here.............. Oh Yeah. she gets along with the boys.....When will you tell her?............. Yeah. He knows because he is really acting strange......... Maybe he heard.... I don't know...... I love you too, hun" Nancy's conversation was like that. I walked back to the kitchen where I saw Alex and West waiting for food. "Where did you go?" Alex asked. "I just checked my self in the mirror." I lied. "Okay. Get ready to taste the best chef Nancy's dishes." he said and I chuckled.

Nancy arrived carrying some plates. "Who called?" I found myself asking. "Oh. Wrong number." she lied. "Oh. Okay." I said then tasted the food. "These are amazing!" I exclaimed, pointing to the food. Alex chuckled and I hit him on the shoulder playfully. "I should go back to the kitchen and prepare some dinner." Nancy said and then walked away. "Want to watch a movie after eating?" I asked Alex. "Of course." Alex said. "Can I join you?" West asked with his lips pouted. "Sure thing." I said pinching his cheek. 

"So.. What do you want to watch?" I asked West and Alex as we got in my room. "Hawwy Potter." West said that made Alex and I laugh. "Which one?" I asked still laughing a little. "The first one." he said and I nodded. I played it then got on the bed.  West was in the middle of Alex and I. Someone knocked. When I opened the door, I found a smiling Nathan holding a box of chocolates. "I got these for you. Well,  I actually won a raffle at work but I don't like these types so I'm giving them to you. You can share it with West." he said still smiling. "Thanks." I said as I got the box of chocolates. "What's that?" Alex asked pointing to the box containing chocolates. "Nathan gave this." I responded. "Why would he give you that?" he asked. I just shrugged.

After thirty minutes of watching and eating chocolates, West was sound asleep. I turned to Alex and he shrugged. We watched and watched. Ones the movie was over, Alex and I brought West to his room. "Want to to go to the Music room?" Alex asked. "Sure." I said. "I'll meet you there." he said then went to his room.

I turned then hit a wall. Haha! Just kidding! I hit Daniel. "Sorry." I apologized. "Girls throw their selves to me but they don't tackle me." he said with a smirk. "I'm not one of them." I said while glaring at him. "You look hot when you're angry." he said then winked. "Shut up!'' I groaned and tried to push him away but he held my wrists and pinned me on the wall. "Fiesty! I like it." he said with a dirty smirk. "Go away!" I growled. "Damn Girl! Wild!" he breathed. "Get off!" I whisper-yelled. "or what? You'll have Alex to save you? "he asked with a smirk. I had a plan to make him go away but this is not me. Here goes nothing.... I wrapped my arms around his neck and tightened it fast. He was choking and and he looked like he couldn't breathe. I released and pushed him. I ran away as he was gasping for air. to the Music room then waited for Alex. Loki was there. He was smiling at me.  Now he's playing the piano. He was singing One thing by One Direction. "I think you have that one thing I like. No. Maybe everything." he mumbled.  "I'm a year older." I mumbled. "Who cares? " he asked.  "I do." I said honestly.  He just chuckled a bit before leaving.  Has he gone mad or something?

"Hey!" Alex greeted when he  saw me. "I want to hear you sing while playing the piano." I said then tried my best to look cute so he couldn't resist. "What song do you want?" he asked. "Counting stars." I requested. "use the drum pads to accompany me." he said. I grabbed the drum pads and placed it infont of me.

"[Chorus:]

Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

[Verse 1]
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

[Verse 2:]
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is our four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

[Chorus:]
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Oh, oh, oh.

[Bridge 4x:]
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned" We both sang.

"You have a good voice." he said.

"You too." I said with a smile.
