Authors note: Hello to all the people that are still with me, I am terribly sorry for the incredible wait of the next part but school has been a bitch but exciting at the same time, my job is killing, my previous editor took an unannounced vacay, and blah, blah, blah, excuses, excuses.

I woke up gasping for the missing air in my lungs. The chill of cold sweat clung to my skin, beading on my forehead. A still sleeping Avery slightly shifted in her sleep and snuggled closer to me. Taking a few deep breaths, the cool air cleared my head, and I stopped my panting. The room was dark all except a strip of outside light that cast a light gray ray of light over our faces. My eyes adjusted to the room. The house felt cold except for the heat underneath the blanket and Avery's naked body cuddled against mine. The soft whir of the ceiling fan above created a soothing background noise for my thoughts. The dream I'd just had was the most lucid one I'd ever had. My heart thrummed faster and drummed louder in my ears as I recalled the chase between me and the creature pursuing me, a wave of nausea hit me as I remembered every vivid detail of my death in the rapids. Did I die? I didn't know, my thoughts were becoming muddled with Avery's soft skin and her plush breast pressing up against the side of me and her breath hot on my neck, I felt the familiar stirring below and decided to get up and walk around. I removed the comforter from over me and swung my legs over the bed. Getting up, welcoming the cold outside, I turned toward Avery noticing how the straight line of her lips curled into a slight frown as if she sensed my missing presence from her side.
Walking down the hall I stepped into my room pulling on a shirt and walked downstairs into the living room. I gazed up towards the clock above the TV that glowed 7:12 p.m. We had been asleep for almost five hours. I felt a rush of new found relief at the fact mom was coming home from work late. It would have been impossible and disastrous to come up with a lie about why I and Avery were sleeping together, and on top of that, her being completely naked.
The chill of the house seeped into my skin, "Man its cold," I whispered as I walked over to the thermostat, I clicked on the arrow and the little LCD screen glowed green revealing it was sixty-four degrees in the house. I punched the up arrow until it hit seventy-two, just a little heat to knock off the chill. I walked past the TV and pressed the on button underneath it as I made my way over to the couch. The news channel reported heavy rain for a short period of time which would most likely ice over in the cold weather. I hoped mom would make it home okay. The news reporter gave the forecast for the rest of the week which showed every day was cloudy and cold. Changing channels I stopped on a detective show about a guy named Monk with an apparent OCD problem.
The sound of light drizzle began outside and started to lull me back to sleep when a pair of arms wrapped gently around my neck and a cool cheek pressed up against mine. The light fragrance of apples and rain brushed my nose and sent heat through my body. Avery nuzzled against my neck placing a kiss on it sending a wave warmth through me.
Leaning back further I rested my cheek against hers. "Hey," I yawned lightly.
"Hmmm," she moaned her reply kissing my cheek causing a stir in my shorts, it was crazy the reactions she got out of me.
"Mom is working overtime today so she's not going to be home until real late." I told her, "I thought we could order something or go somewhere and get takeout."
"Italian." She simply replied, I knew instantly what place she was talking about. Pomodoro was a successful family owned Italian restaurant which we use to constantly receive takeout from.
I raised from my seat and Avery reluctantly slid her arms from around my neck after another kiss on the cheek. Turning around, she wore my shirt that hung down just above her knees, and the dark navy blue contrasted deliciously against her porcelain skin. Her hair had a sexy out of bed disheveled look and a dark flush covered her cheeks. The TV light reflected in her eyes showing a playful glint in them. Her lips wore a ghost of a grin on them and her eyes seemed to pierce my soul. I was completely captivated by them.
She walked around the couch wrapping her arms around me bringing me down for a sweet kiss. Our lips were almost sealed together when the sound of the doorbell made me jump back out of her range. Her frown was almost comical with a shine of disappointment and annoyance in her eyes.
Grinning, I wrapped my hands around her waist and kissed her. Tasting her hot mouth for a quick second brought creeping fog into my head. I broke the kiss and stepped out of her reach before she could get her arms around my neck, I was be unable to resist if she did. Walking to the front door I unlocked it, swinging it open to reveal a dirty blonde haired girl with pale blue eyes and an oval face the had thick hair reaching past her shoulders.
She simply stood and stared, eyebrows raised, taking her time sweeping her eyes up and down over me.
"Um, hello?" I said.
She snapped out of her daze and smiled brightly showing a row of perfectly straight white teeth. She stepped closer, a little too close for comfort and stuck her hand out greeting me.
"Hey I'm Savannah, who are you if I may ask?"
"Um, I'm Mason, can I help you?" I asked back.
"I came over to see Avery, but if she's not around I'm willing to come back later." Her smile seemed to keep getting bigger every time I looked at it.
I was about to say something when Avery violently shoved her way between me and Savannah holding a laptop that had a black and white wood design on it with the HP logo centered on it.
