STACEY'S POV

I got up getting myself a soda since Diego's rude ass wouldn't do me a favor.  This is exactly why we don't get along.  At all.

I came back into the living room sitting down in my seat as i continued to watch the movie.  I didn't really want look at him.  I covered myself up with my blanket as i leaned against the arm of the couch.

"Stacey?" I heard Diego question as i noticed from the corner of my eye how close he was moving towards me.

"Yea?" I whisper turning my head to look at him as he pretended as if he never inched any closer.

"I uh- I'm cold and your hogging the blankets."

"Get your own," I said back as i tugged on my blanket bringing Diego annoyingly closer to me.

She rested his head on my knee as he covered himself with 70% of my blankets.  He stared at me intently as i pretended to ignore him. He looked at me with his bright eyes and perfect squished face making me forget about him being a dick a few moments earlier.

"Get off of me," I said as i lightly started to pull at my covers again.

"I don't want to," Diego said as he sat up leaning back against the couch.  This time we were shoulder to shoulder and he was starring down at me. 

DIEGO'S POV

I was looking at Stacey unknowingly long.  She gave me the 'what the fuck are you looking at' face as we sat closer than ever together.  I can admit, I loved being this close to her.

"Well this is my body and i don't want you all up on it," Stacey said pushing me a bit making me fall over.

"You're rude," I said as i sat back up laying my head on her shoulder.

"Diego," I heard her groan as she started wiggling her shoulders hoping that it would make me fall off of her.  I placed my hand on her knee and i heard her throat hitch as i did so.

STACEY'S POV

I starred down at Diego's hand as he started to rub my knee lightly.  I knew where this was going.  This could not be happening.  He could not actually be thinking about making a move on me... right?

I grabbed his hand as I looked down at his gaze watching my facial expressions change.

"I'm sorry," he let out as he blew hair out of his mouth.

"For what?" I asked only inches from his face.

"For being a dick like always," he said as he started to trail off our lips only centimeters apart now.  I could feel his breath against my lips as i had the urge to grab his face and to kiss him, but i knew i couldn't.

"It's uh-," I started before remembering that this could be some sick joke that he could use against me, "If this is your way to get into a girl's pants, its pretty shitty.  Plus i doubt you want Manu to find out about you being all up on me while he was asleep only a few feet away, now would you," I said pushing him off of me watching his face drop.

DIEGO'S POV

That hurt.  As those words ran past her lips I felt a weird feeling in my chest.  A feeling that hurt so bad i couldn't even describe the pain.  I wouldn't ever do that to anybody, let alone her. 

"I-It's not," I mumbled out as i watched her stand up from the couch grabbing her blanket.

"I'm going to bed," I heard her say as she started walking up the steps.  I wanted to chase her down so bad and tell her that it wasn't true.  I wanted to bed her to stay awake with me for a little longer.

I could have swore i thought she felt the same way as me, at least a tad bit.

"Don't forget to shut the kitchen light off," I heard her yell before her door shut.

I looked at Manu's sleeping body as he covered up with the blankets around him.

Might as well go to sleep I thought to myself standing up to grab a blanket for myself.
