Summer

When I met you in the summer
To my heartbeat sound
We fell in love
As the leaves turned brown

And we could be together baby
As long as skies are blue
You act so innocent now
But you lied so soon
When I met you in the summer

Summer (Calvin Harris)


Reilly looked away from the TV to see Sammy creeping up to a sleeping Brad. He lay there out cold and snoring softly. The kayaking and rock climbing really wore him out. Sammy had an evil grinnon her face as she slowly pulled a sharpie out of her pocket.

“Are you gonna prank him?” Reilly whispered grinning.
She turned and nodded, “wanna help?”
“it would be an honor,” he smirked getting up silently.
“draw what you please,” she gave permission, handing him the marker, “he sleeps like a fuckin bear,”

Reilly got to work, drawing a hitler stache and thick unibrow. Sammy was trying to hold back laughter as she watched. She got an even better idea and grabbed the pink nail polish from her bag. She sat crisscross on the floor painting his finger nails a lovely rose color. Reilly was snickering softly to himself.
“you are diabolical,” he laughed.
“i take it as a compliment,” she replied, biting her lip in concentration.

His attention was caught on it for a couple moments. It really made him want to kiss her right then.
“ta da,” she giggled, “pink is not his color,”
He shook his head with a grin. She then took the marker, drawing a little dog on Brad's cheek for good measure.
“is that a platypus?” Reilly asked squinting his eyes and tilting his head to the side.
“Its a dog,” she snorted laughter, “im not a good drawer okay,”

She capped the marker and they both turned on their heels to retreat to safety. Of course Greg had to come in and flip the lights on, illumonating the once pitch dark room.
“shit,” Sammy cursed wincing.

She heard Brad groan from the couch and shuffle around. She and Reilly looked at eachother, while Greg just eyed them curiously. Then he saw the marker in her hand and laughed. Unfortunately Brad saw it too.
“Did you- you little fuckers im honna get you!” he claimed jumping to his feet.
“Run!” Reilly urged as they both scrambled down the hallways.

Greg was dying laughing in the kitchen while other members of the team showed themselves to see what happened. Brad tripped on the slippery floor, giving Reilly and Sam a good headstart. They found a pantry off the kitchen and slipped inside. Brad ran by but didnt see them, so he went on. They slid to the floor laughing after the coast was clear.

“now that was fun,” Reilly grinned
“Its such a cliche prank but it never gets old I swear,” she giggled as she caught her breath. They knew theyd be stuck in there for a while.
“So you're Cam's niece?” Reilly asked Hayley nodded, “but he's practically my dad. He raised Marc and I,”
He took a moment to process that, “if you don't mind me asking... what happened to your parents?”
She smiled reassuringly, “its okay to ask. Anyway Cam told me my Dad was a mountie and got killed in action, and my mom well aparently after he was killed, when I was only 4 months old, she fell off the wagon. She got into alcahol. She lives in Boston now, but Cam doesn't want me to visit her,”

“I'm sorry,” He frowned “its alright, I mean its been so long that im not sensative to it anymore, I just need to move on I guess,”
“I couldn't have done that If I were you.” He shook his head deep in thought, “If I didn't have my parents I dont know what I'd do.”
“Well it's different, I never had mine to begin with and you can't really miss something you never had can you?” she said, "Cam won custody of us before I was 6 months old so I dont remember living with her. “and I have it easy, I have friends, family, a team that loves me, and I'm going to college. Some people dont have those things,”
“You know you're really thoughful,” he complimented.
“Thank you,” she smiled glad that the darkness hid her blush.

They talked about themselves for a half hour or so. He told her about growing up with Rory and Brendan and she talked about Marc and how Cam brought her to work everyday because he didn't trust daycare.

Then the door burst open. It was Carl.
“Brad gave up and went to bed,” He explained.
She and Reilly looked at eachother laughing. He stood up and held out his hand, which she gratefully took.
“nice one guys,” Tuukka grinned, “he needs a good prank to keep him in line every now and then,”

Sammy smiled yawning, “thats what im here for, now If you excuse me I'm going to bed as well,”
“lame,” Shawn hollered from the couch.
“Im tired,” she defended. She went down the line hugging whoever was still up and saying goodnight.
“night Reilly,” she smiled tiredly as she hugged him.
“night,” he smiled even though inside he was extra happy.

She pulled back and saw Shawn. She turned and started to walk out.
"wheres my hug?” he called
“you dont get one, you called me lame,” she grinned
“I take it back,” he said
She huffed and backtracked to go hug him.
