I woke up on top of something. I really didn't want to move. It felt nice. I opened my eyes to see what I was on. I smiled when I saw Aaron. My smile faded when I relized where I was. I got up and looked around. I really wanted to stay where I was, but I didn't want to risk anyone finding out about us. I knew in my heart someone would find out, but I wanted to keep this quiet as long as I could. I knew that Kevin would more then likly freak out and Brian, well Brian reacts different to everything. There is no telling what could happen. I wandered to the backyard and found a chair. It was still early so I sat down on a chair and watched the sun rise.

*~*~*Aaron's pov*~*~*

I woke up on the couch alone. I knew I had fallen asleep with Emily near by. I looked around the living room but there was no sign of her. I walked into the kitchen and saw her on the deck. She was looking at the sunrise. I smiled. She looked so perfect. I wandered out, kneeled down and hugged her. She turned and smiled at me.

"Good morning." She smiled.
"It is much better now." I said with a smiled.
"Why would that be?" She asked.
"Let's see......your here, I'm here and it's morning. I woke up and you weren't there." I frowned at the end.
"I was afraid someone was gona walk in. We aren't really alone here." She stated.
"I know. I am just gald you stayed last night. Did I mention how cute you looked in that suit you had on?" I ask.
"No....but it's nice of you to think so." She said as she gave me a small kiss. I stood up and streched a bit. Criag walked out and plopped down ina chair.
"Hey Air. What's up for today?" He asked while his voice was thick with sleep.
"I was planning on helping Brian's cousin, Emily find a job." I said. She looked at me like I was nuts.
"That's cool. I think Erica and I are gonna go to Disney today. She is bugging me to take her." He laughed.
"I hear it's nice." Emily said while she stood up. She went inside and sat on the couch. I looked at Jason and shrugged.
"Ok spill it man. What is the deal with the chick?" He asked.
"What are you talking about man?" I asked trying to act shocked.
"Dude you were almost drooling as she left. Yesterday at the beach you were like with her non-stop. What is going on with you two?" He asked.
"She is my brother's friend's cousin. I am being nice." I said.
"Yeah right, and I am gonna marry Britney Spears!" He laughed.
"You marry her and something is wrong with you and Erica." I replied. I got up an went inside to change.

~~~~~~~2 months later~~~~~~~

Emily and I have had the best luck making sure no one found out about us. We knew it was wrong to hide from everyone, but we felt it was safe. We have lasted 2 months. I got a call from Nick telling me about a party Brian was going to have for Emily's birthday, that Brian wants me there. Well I almost backed out, but then I thought of something. I would get to give her a birthday kiss. I was in. All I had to do was get her a gift. She had gotten a job at a radio station as DJ in the morning. I thought it was cool. She got a job she wanted. Lola had gotten a job at a clothing shop. They were close to getting their own place. I was happy for Emily. Who knew, maybe we wouldn't have to hide anymore.

~*~*~Emily's pov~*~*~

I was woken from a sound sleep by my cousin's dogs. I was having a wonderful dream about Aaron. I heard barking in the dream and figured out it was not my dream. It annoyed me that I had to get up. It was my birthday! I should not have to be up early. I shooed them out of my room and went back to bed. I was just about asleep when 6 people jumped on me.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH! GET OFF!" I tried to yell.
"Sorry kido. We wanted you awake. Your 19 today! You gotta get up." Kevin said. I looked at him and glared. I looked around and saw Nick, Aaron, Brian, Howie, AJ and Kevin. I laid back down as they left. Aaron hung back to talk to me. He sat on the bed and watched me. I tried so hard not to laugh or smile. I kicked him off my bed and he fell.
"Hey! That hurt!" He said as he jumped on me and started to tickle me. I began to scream and laugh. Nick came back to see where Aaron was and started to help me.
"HELP!" Was all I could get out. Brian and Kevin stood at my door and laughed at the blondes who were making me scream. I wiggled free and ran into my bathroom.
