get hurt. Right now, you’re hurting her. You need to fight your demon. You need to be stronger for Kallos. She can only take so much before she breaks.” They are almost to Ian's bedroom when Ian turns to look at Sean.
“First, what happened with Nikki and Kris is none of your business. And second, Kallos needs to know about you, stud!” Sean already knows that he and Kallos need to talk.
“Ma' said it's in your room.”
“Where is Kallos?” Ian is looking around for her.
“I left her with Ma'.” He isn't lying to his brother. “Ian. Happy birthday. I love you.” Ian laughs at Sean and walks away. Sean is going to wait by Ian's bedroom door just in case Kallos needs him.

Kallos nods to Lisa, and Lisa opens Ian’s bedroom door for her. Lisa shuts it behind Kallos who can see a white two-piece lying on the bed. She picks it up, and it looks like her size. Kallos looks at the bottoms and smiles; they are shorts. Thank goodness that she doesn’t have to wear some skimpy bottoms. She quickly undresses and puts on the bikini top and shorts, then sits on the bed. It isn’t as bad as she thought; the top showed off a little more than she was used to, but at least, it was cute. The bottoms aren’t as short as she thought they would be, but they are tight. She finally looks around and isn’t surprised to see Ian’s walls are a light blue. When Kallos looked half way to the ceiling, she noticed the color changes to a darker blue. Ian also has glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling. She laughs, and shakes her head. Kallos looks over at his nightstand and sees a picture of her.
She gets up to look at it; it is her and her best friend Bree. It was taken about a year ago right before a school dance. Kallos is wearing a light pink, knee-length dress, and Bree is wearing a light blue, knee-length dress. Kallos has all her hair in tight curls and pinned up into a bun. She doesn’t know how he has this picture. The only people who ever had it were Kallos and Bree. Kallos’ mom took it for them at their old house. She hears the door handle turning; she quickly puts the picture down and turns around. Ian walks in, and he doesn’t even see her when he shuts the door. When his eyes meet hers, she can feel his stare burning into her body. Kallos is happy to see them changing back to his light blue. She smiles at him and starts to walking toward him. He meets her half way and wraps his arms around her waist. Their lips are inches apart.
“Sean said that our parents had my birthday present in my room.” He said and smiles. “This is the best present I could ever get.” His lips come crashing to hers. The kiss is harder than normal and she must have cut her lip because she tastes blood. But Kallos knows that his demon is still trying to break through. She moves her hands so that they are under his shirt. He pulls his lips away and looks down at her with one eyebrow raised. She starts to move her hands up a little. He grins and takes off his shirt. “All you had to do is ask, and I would have taken it off.” Kallos stands on her tippy toes to kiss him again, and he gladly kisses her back. She can feel his body and it is heating up against hers. She kisses his neck and starts her way down to his heart. Kallos looks up at him and he is smiling.
“I love you, Ian,” Kallos says as she kisses his chest. Then, she hears him gasp, and she thinks about how he told her he loves her. How happy she was to hear Ian say that. Kallos thinks about what her life could be with him. He steps away from her and sinks to the bed. He has his hand over the spot where she just kissed him. “Sean, Lisa!” Kallos is yelling for them; she doesn’t know if she did it right. The door slams open, and Sean is the first one in. He looks at her, and his eyes widen. Lisa isn’t too far behind. Sean and she rush to the bed. She grabs Ian’s hand and looks at Kallos and smiles.
“It’s working; you
