Where it all Began . . .

Chepe said, "I planned to have them moved here to be buried as soon as I can...They did love the island and were going to come back before. But then the accident happened. I couldn't stand the thought of never being able to visit their graves." He looked at her, still with a trace of tears in his eyes. Chepe smiled slightly at Lena "I can see that you don't believe you're as petty as I say you are..but you really are." He smiled slightly at the feel of her fingers on his cheek, wiping away the tears. "Sorry about losing it in front of you." he said. "I don't generally cry in front of people." He used his hand to wipe the long hair out of his eyes, resting his head on her shoulder. He was happy that she was still living on the island.

Tesanne didn't know what to do when she realized she left her key in her dorm room. She hurried to her brother's dorm, through the lightning, rain and thunder. When she got there, she saw the door was open. She pushed it open. "Chepe? are you here?" she asked going in to get out of the rain.

“Don’t worry about it. I don’t mind.” She said waving away his concern about letting a few tears escape. This wasn’t the first time Lena saw Chepe shed a few tears, the day he told her about his parent’s decision to move she could have sworn she caught a tear in his eye. She ended up hugging him back then too…and if she had a choice, her 7 year old self would have never let him leave. Thinking back to it now that had been the day she first kissed a boy, on the cheek of course. A lot had changed since then…but why not give him the same treatment. It seemed to make him feel better the first time.

A cunning smile spread over Lena’s lips, as she bumped his head up a little with her shoulder. Cradling his face in her hands she leaned in planting a small soft kiss on his cheek, “I hope you feel better soon.” She said letting her hands drop from his face. Smiling at him she added, “Oh and welcome back.”

Lena was pulling away from Chepe, as the voice of a young child reached her ears. Turning she saw a little girl, with an unmistakable resemblance to Chepe, walk into the dorm. This adorable young girl had to be Tesanee, and what beautiful young lady she had become.

Chepe looked at Lena a little surprised. Then he remembered the day he'd had to move. He's been crying then too, and she had done the exact same thing to him then. He smiled a little. Having her kiss his cheek now sure was different from how it had felt back then. Her lips were soft on his cheek and her hands felt warm on his face. He blushed a little. It did help him feel a little better to remember the first kiss she'd given him, as a friend, that day so long ago. Smiling a little at Lena, he turned to Tesanee. "Hi, Tes," he said. "Why are you out in this storm? You really should be back in your dorm, out of this storm." He looked at Lena again, "Tes, this is Lena...you probably don't remember her because you were really young when we moved."

Tesanee looked up. "I left my key to my dorm AT my dorm and now I'm locked out. I came here because I didn't know where else to go." she said. "I still need to plan your birthday party!" she said sadly. "But I won't be able to if I can't get back to my dorm." Tesanee turned her attention to Lena, her gaze traveling over the bright red curly hair and dark blue eyes. She noticed the freckles across her cheeks and nose. "You're pretty." she said shyly. "Lena's a pretty name." she looked up at Lena.

“Well thank you Tesanee. You have grown into beautiful young lady yourself.” Lena said smiling at the small girl as she got up from her spot on the couch. Not missing the mention of Chepe’s birthday Lena knelt down in front of her. “Well, Chepe is one lucky brother to have such a caring little sister. You know it must be hard to plan a surprise all by yourself,” lowering her voice making it difficult to be overheard Lena whispered, “How about I give you my number and tonight we can plan it together?”

Tesanee smiled at Lena, a big smile spreading across her face. "I would like that." she said softly. "I wan to surprise him," tesanee looked at her brother and grinned. "He's watching you Lena...." she said. "I think he likes you." she smirked a little. She looked at Angel jumping on the couch, trying to climb up.

Aaron finally came back to his dorm after a long time of dozing off. He sighed, and unlocked the dorm room, calling in to it, "I'm back!" he said, taking off his shoes, and heading to his room, "Hello Chepe, Nee, and..." he tried to remember her name, 'she was Cho--cho..uhh..Cholana? Cho..lena? Ehh...' he thought to himself, going with the second choice, "Hello Chepe's friend." he said, giving them a slight wave, and going into his room. Hosting time was coming.

Upon hearing from Tesanee that her brother was staring, Lena couldn’t help but glance over her shoulder. Indeed he was looking, but of course he would be seeing as his little sister was right there…locked out of her dorm. Flashing him her pearly whites Lena came back to the couch digging through her purse for a pen. Once she found one she grabbed Tesanee’s hand scribbling her number on the back of it. “Call me later and we can talk about it all night long. Okay?” Putting the lid back on the pen, she patted Tesanee’s head gently. “Until then maybe your brother can help you get back into your dorm. I’m sure he can find a way to open your door. As for me I need to head home before the weather gets too bad, and I get stranded in my car.” Lena winked at Chepe, wishing his good luck with his sister’s locked dorm door. Grabbing her purse she said her goodbyes, bending down to plant a kiss on Angel’s head.

As she headed towards the door one of Chepe’s roommates had arrived. Luckily she was much better with names then he was. Smiling she reached up ruffling his hair as she exited calling out over her shoulder, “Have a nice night guys, you too Aaron.”

Chepe said to Tesanee, "Be right back." Grabbing an umbrella he followed Lena out of the door to walk back to her car with her, just as he said he would. He wanted to make sure she got back all right. He held the umbrella over her head so she wouldn't get wet, but he was soaked in seconds, his clothes soggy and sticking to himself. His long hair was plastered to his head and was dripping water in his eyes.

Chepe went into the dorm again to see Tesanee. He glared at her. "Why did you say anything about my birthday, sis?" he asked. "Now I bet everyone's going to know. I didn't plan to tell anyone my birthday was coming up." he sighed, at the expression on Tesanee's face. "I'm sorry." he said to her

Tesanee looked up at Chepe with her blue eyes wide as he chewed her out for mentioning his birthday. "I'm...sorry Chepe....I didn't know there was anyone else here." she looked sad. Chepe apologized for upsetting her, then he said that she could stay there that night.

Chepe assumed by now Lena should have made it home so he asked Tesanee for Lena's number. After she gave it to him, he picked up the phone and dialed it. When Lena answered, he said, "Hi, Lena It's Chepe.....did you make it home yet?" he smiled. "Oh when we're done talking, Tesanee wants the phone. Is that ok? She wants to talk to you."

Smiling at the sound of Lena's voice,relief evident in his own, Chepe said, "I'm glad you made it home ok. I would have come looking for you on my motorcycle if you hadn't made it home safe." Chepe looked over at Tesanee and smiled. "I don't want anything to happen to you."

Chepe grinned into the phone. "Yeah, I have one." he said. "I'll definitely take you for a ride on it if you'd like me to." He looked over at Tesanee. "She's right here. You want to talk to her now?" asked. "I'll see you tomorrow ok?" He said quietly into the phone. "Here's Tesanee. Good night Lena." Chepe offered the phone to his sister.

Tesanee took it as Chepe headed to his room, undressing on the way, till he was in his boxers. Tesanee was used to seeing him do that and she laughed at him. She knew he'd be asleep quickly once he got into his room. Angel followed him to the door of his bedroom. Chepe smiled at his sister, told her goodnight and disappeared through the doorway.

"Hello?" she said, still grinning, her brother's hasty retreat making her laugh.

Aaron finished dressing, and hoped that no one was outside. He wore a purple fedora shirt, matching black and red vest, and black dress pants. "News calls for a storm today..." he said, sighing, and taking a umbrella from under his bed. He went to the washroom, combing his hair, his bangs covering up the right side of his face. The ladies loved it, of course. He sighed, and slowly walked to the dorm door, seeing Tesanee as he did, "'Ello Nee, lock the door, would ya?" he asked, stepping into this Alligator shoes, and opening the umbrella, heading outside.

************************************At the host club************************

He saw the ladies inside the club, already waiting for him. 'Darn it...five minutes late...well...better later than never...' he thought, heading into the club, and escorting the ladies into his room, smiling and waving, and complementing them.

Tesanee said, "Yeah, I want to." She giggled because she saw Chepe disappearing into his room wearing only boxers. "umm sorry I just saw my brother in his boxers getting ready for bed." she thought nothing of saying it. "He's going to be 18." she said, grinning. "I want to make him have fun." she said. "So do you have any ideas? I know I could really embarrass him in truth or Dare." she laughed.

Tesanee looked toward Chepe's closed door. "I don't really know." she said. "I don't remember the island...and he never talked to me about it." She smiled. "Pick something you enjoy doing and we can do that. And I think you'll find that I don't mind you doing Truth or Dare as much as you might think" She was already making her plans for escaping the following day. "I think we should plan that."

"That sounds good." Tesanee said. "But where do you want to go? I don't know anything about the island." she laughed. "My brother will go anywhere. He likes swimming, he always liked the beach back home..."

"Okay Lena." Tesanee said. "You get some sleep too." She sat on the couch with a blanket that her brother had left out for her. "Good night." she said, yawning as she hung up the cell phone. setting it on the table next to the couch she fell asleep.

Chepe fed Angel, put their food on to cook and looked over at his sister. "Tesanee!! Time to wake up!" he said loudly. When he saw her sit up he said "Have any plans for today?" he asked, suspiciously, looking at her. He went to check the oven after about 20 minutes and saw that their meal was fully cooked.

Tesanee sat up, stretching. "You snore, Chepe." she said. "LOUDLY. You were shaking the walls." She said "I don't have plans today." She was trying not to grin.

Aaron bustled out of the room, "I can't be late..I can't be late.." he kept on saying to himself, over and over while putting on a pair of jeans, the red vest from yesterday, and the hat. He went to the washroom, and quickly brushed his hair, his teeth, and washed his face. He went to get his shoes, and close the dorm door, locking it, and running to the school, "I'm not late for class, I'm not late for class.." he said, continuing to run.

(( ....Going to le classroom. ))

Chepe dressed for class quickly in jean shorts and a blue t-shirt. Putting his shoes and socks on, he grabbed some leftovers from the previous night, and quickly ate. Letting Angel out to go to the bathroom, he finished his breakfast. He grabbed his guitar bag, and let Angel back inside before heading to class.
