returned it to my side. 
    I was nervous now, not quite having thought through
what I was about to say to him. 
    “I need to tell you something before I go, it will
probably make things harder, but I need you to know anyway.”
    “Okay,” he murmured a little apprehensively. 
“Say whatever you need to Hayln.” 
    “I told you that I needed time to sort things out, but
I'm not sure I truly did.  I think I always knew, even from the beginning,”
I said still sounding a little nervous.   “And then
when we kissed last night, it was clear – I want to be with you Zeke.  And
I'm sorry I didn’t say it earlier, especially now I’m leaving tomorrow.” 
I didn’t get a chance to continue, his arms brought me into his chest, and his
lips found mine. 
    I didn’t think we could find more passion between us,
but we did.  His lips felt urgent, as if he truly believed that this might
be our last kiss.  My hands found their way under his shirt and traced the
curves of his back while holding him as close to me as possible.  He
quickly did the same and a wave of heat rushed through me as he touched my
skin.  I could feel a smile on his lips as he was kissing me – he was
enjoying this, and so was I.  I pulled back to see his face to know what
he was thinking, but he wasn’t going let me get too far. 
    He leant his forehead on mine.  “Do you think
your parent’s would let me stay in your room tonight, since this will be out
last night together?”  He said joking with me, but I could tell he had
been thinking about it, and I had to admit, so had I.
    “Not a chance,” I said kissing him softly down his
neck.  “But I would like you to stay the night, so I can see you in the
morning.”
    “Anything you like,” he said enjoying my kisses. 
“But you better stop that or I won’t be able to let you go at all.”
    “Okay then,” I sighed not wanting this to end just
yet.  “Maybe you could walk me to my room then,” hoping that would prolong
things.
    “I’d love to Miss Knox,” he said taking my hand in
his, and we walked towards the stairs when we were interrupted by Emin. 
He stood at the bottom of the stairs arms crossed in front of his chest and a
look of shock spread across his face.  He had obviously seen us in the
kitchen.
    “Ezekiel Banner, what the hell do you think you’re
doing with my sister?” He demanded.
    We both stood there stunned, neither of us had heard
his approach, he continued to glare at us – well Zeke actually, and then he
spoke again.
    “Do you have any idea what Hayln has been through
today, and then you pull that stuff on her,” he said accusingly.
    “No Emin you don’t understand,” I tried to explain,
but he held his hand up to stop me.
    “This is between me and Zeke, Hayln,” he said. 
“Well Zeke, what do you have to say for yourself?
    “I would never hurt her Emin, you have to know that,”
he said calmly.
    “Really? You did a pretty convincing job of that this
afternoon when you ignored her,” he shot back at him.
    “I know, I'm ashamed of that, and I have apologized,”
he said, although I don’t know if it was making any difference, but he
continued anyway.   “Emin, this isn’t something I
just thought I would take a shot at to see what happens, I have been thinking
about it for ages.  Why do you think I wouldn’t come here with you over
the past few months?” He paused, but Emin didn’t answer.  “I have genuine
feelings for Hayln, and I tried to ignore them but,” he said as Emin butted in.
    “You should have tried harder, She. Is. My. Sister.”
He spelt out.
    “I know, which is why I didn’t say anything for so
long,” he said as he pulled my closer to his side.  “I have never felt
this way about anyone Emin, I love her.”
    Everyone went silent, I saw Emin’s mouth hanging open
as I looked up to Zeke’s face.  He was looking at me, his eye’s glowing
again as they did before our first kiss.  We both looked back
