ログインAva and I started watching a random adventure movie after we finished with the dishes. Mason and Ethan walked in, talking about protecting something, before they started fighting Ava for popcorn. “You want some of mine?” I asked, Ethan, as Ava and Mason kept chasing each other around the living room.He stared at me, then turned to check if there was another person at his back. “Are you talking to me?”I rolled my eyes at him. “I can't possibly be talking to Mason or Ava.” I mumbled.“Oh, sure.” He muttered, Collect the popcorn.I stood up afterward and started walking towards the stairs. “You are not leaving because of me, are you?” He asked.I scoffed. “I have no reason to do that.” With that being said, I walked away from him.“Oh god, such a stressful day.” I groaned immediately I entered the room and fell on the bed.I stared at the ceiling blankly. The tiny line on it suddenly became interesting, and I started counting them to divert my thoughts away from the situation. But it
Shock was an understatement to what I felt when Lila replied to my dad's question calmly. That was supposed to be a good thing, but to my surprise, I wasn't happy about it. Maybe because I realized I have no reason to be close to her again. She is ok now; she doesn't need me anymore. The thought weighed on my mind as we walked towards my dad's study. “Your dad looks scary when angry; why do you think he wants to see us?” Mason asked beside me.“I think the answer is obvious already." I rolled my eyes.“Yeah, I know, but he looked mad." He said.“Well, we are about to know.” I muttered.My dad was already sitting when we got there, and the door was open, so we just entered and stood in front of him.“What was Lila talking about?” He asked, but none of us talked. “I think I just asked a question." He snapped. Mason's eyes widened, as he was not used to the angry side of my dad.“Uncle, I can explain." Mason muttered.“Good, I'm listening.”Mason told Dad everything that happened from
The lunch was going smoothly and quietly until Ethan suddenly started laughing. We all paused and stared at him. He dropped his fork, then covered his mouth with his palm. “Sorry, just had a flashback on how Lila started calling Dad my king.” My eyes widened when he said those words, and my grip tightened on the fork. I glared hard at him. Everybody on site joined him, and they all laughed together.“I still can't remember how my dad and I waited for them to get home that day,” Mason said, “just for Mom to get home and tell us Lila is getting married.” He added.“I don't really have memories of that day, but growing up and seeing them calling each other hilarious.” Ava muttered, and I glared at her. “Sorry, bestie, but it was hilarious." She laughed.“Come on, guys, that's ok; don't let her lose her appetite." Aunty side.Well, they have done that already by bringing up my ugly past; now I just keep stabbing my food without raising a spoon up from it.“So, Ethan and Mason, I've not
Lila looked down shyly when my dad said that, and that made everyone burst into laughter, including me. It had been a long time since I noticed that expression on her face, and I'm glad Dad was here. “Seems like your queen has found another king.” Mom mumbled and shook her head. “That's not true, Uncle." Lila raised her head. My dad held his chest like he was heartbroken. “Your words say otherwise; now you don't call me 'my king' but 'Uncle.'” Dad pointed out. “Guess I'm no longer handsome enough to be your king anymore." He added. “That was a long time ago." Lila muttered shyly.“Oops, she said I'm old.” Dad muttered, and we all laughed again.Lila shook her head. “I never said that.” “Well, you can still give this old man a hug.” Dad said, and she moved closer to hug him.“Good day, Uncle." Mason said, Immediately Dad broke the hug with Lila.“What's up, big man?” Dad patted his shoulder lightly.“I'm good, Uncle. You look younger than the last time I saw you.” Mason said.“But
Her name rolled out of my mouth before I could stop myself when it was just us. She turned to look at me, and everything I wanted to say flew off. “Are you ok?” Dammit! That was not what I wanted to say.She tilted her head, then looked down at herself, “obviously.” She said. “Well, I.....”“What are you guys waiting for? We are running late!” Ava shouted out at us, cutting off what I wanted to say. Lila glanced at me once more before rushing over to meet Ava.I exhaled sharply before I followed them quietly. We spent two more hours going from shop to shop in the mall before we were finally done. “Oh, thank goodness.” Lila groaned.“Yeah, I'm famished already.” Ava said. “Why don't we eat something before going home?” She pouted.“No.” I said, and she glared at me. “Mom would have made something for us already. If we eat now, how will we eat hers later?” I added.“Yeah, let's just go.” Mason said.“I'm also famished; why don't we just get burgers and drinks?” Lila muttered, and Ava
When the word “both.” Fell out of Ethan's mouth, I knew his plan was to avoid me. Well, two can play the game. “Why don't we just go in two?” I muttered. “I will follow Mason, and Ava will follow Ethan.” Ethan glanced at me when I said that, but I ignored his gaze again.“Well…” Ava glanced between Mason and Ethan, waiting for objections.“Let's just go with one car; going with Lila alone will be boring.” Mason said. I rolled my eyes at him. “Whatever.” I walked towards Mason's car and sat in the back seat. They all looked at me for a while before Ava finally followed me. Then Mason and Ethan followed reluctantly also.The drive to the mall was more than boring. We have been driving for almost twenty minutes now, but none of us made a single sound. The sound coming from our phone and that of the moving cars on the road were what made it not be dead silence.“I thought we were all in the same car so it wouldn't be boring, so what's going on?” I scoffed.I turned to look at Ava when t
I stood outside my brother’s apartment. Pacing around and fidgeting with my hands. I took a deep breath but each time I stepped closer to the door, I chickened out, my hands trembling as cold sweat traveled down my spine. My throat bobbed knowing what waits for me behind that door the moment I ope
“Lila, are you out of your mind? Moving in with a guy? With Jake no less?” Mason roared as I stood in front of him in his living room. The anger was evident in every word that rolled off his tongue, the way his fist clenched, the way his eyes held this content I had never seen before. He hated th
“Oh sorry, I just had to greet my girlfriend, you don’t mind, do you, Ethan?” Jake muffled, eyes glaring at Ethan who remained silent and annoyingly and extremely composed. He didn’t even flinch.Instead, he turned to me, “See you.” He turned to Jake and glared at him and without having to hear Eth
I found the brakes, and we were in the middle of the road. The cars around us kept honking, and the drivers kept yelling.“If you want to die, get off the road,”“Jump over the bridge or something, you losers.”“Hey, fuck off the middle of the highway!”They kept yelling, and it was obvious from th
