too close for my liking,” I say.
                  “There’s no such thing as too close in my dictionary.” He winks. I pretend to gag.
                 
                  The doorbell rings two hours later. My parents just woke up and my mom is still in her footie pajamas. My dad, just like Kade, is in plaid sweatpants but wearing a grey t-shirt.
                  “What took you so long?” I pull Chasity in the house, wave goodbye to her mom, then slam the door. I take her stuff out of her hands and run to my bedroom, taking the stairs two by two.
                  “Beauty takes time.” She pushes me when she enters my room. I put her stuff on the floor and then jump on my bed. She sits down next to me.
                  “So, where is he?” It’s already starting.
                  “I don’t know.”
                  “How do you not know?” She slaps my arm.
                  “Because I don’t stalk him? It’s not important to me to know where he is at all times. I mean, we live in the same house. It’s not like it would take hours to find him if I needed him.” I get up and walk over to my iHome and turn on some music.
                  “Let’s go find him!” Chasity gets off the bed and runs out of the room. I quickly shut off the music and catch up with her. When I get out of my room and into the hallway, there they are. Already. Chasity is looking up, gawking at Kade. Kade looks at me when he hears my room door open.
                  “Hi.” He says.
                  “Hey,” I say.
                  “Who’s this?” He points to Chasity.
                  “My best friend, Chasity,” I say. Then I take Chasity’s arm and start to pull her down the stairs. I want to jump on the trampoline.
                  “Becc,” Kade grabs my arm and motions me with his head into my room. The area where he’s touching my arm gets warm. My hands go clammy and my mind goes mushy. My eyes must have gone wide because he adds, “Can I talk to you for a minute?”
                  I look over at Chasity, she winks, then continues down the stairs. I walk into Kade’s room. Thankfully, he doesn’t close the door, knowing Chasity is out of ear shot.
                  “What?” I cross my arms over my chest and lean on one leg.
                  “I don’t want people to know about...you know...”
                  I stare at him with a blank look. “Um..no...I don’t know,” I say.
                  “Ugh. I don’t want people to know about how my parents can’t afford to live in the U.S. so I have to live with you.”
                  “Ooooooh. Gotcha. Okay cool.” I start to walk out of the room.
                  He grabs my arm and pulls me back to face him. “I don’t think you quite get it, Becc. Chasity knows now,” he says. He sighs then puts his hands on his hips.
                  Chasity? Being...a problem? I laugh. “Chasity is not a problem, Kade. She won’t tell anyone.”
                  “You have to make her swear.”
                  “Why, are you embarrassed that you’re living with me?” I give him a cocky smile.
                  “Living with you? Anyone would be embarrassed,” He says as he gives me a smile back. Then I walk out of the room. I walk downstairs and find Chasity getting cookie dough out of the freezer and putting them on cookie sheets.
                  “Hungry?”
                  “For your cookies? Always.”
                  “You know they aren’t ‘my’ cookies, right? It’s store-bought cookie dough.”
                  “What’d Kade say?” She ignores my cookie subject. I think she can tell I’m trying to
