Trapped In Lace

Fifty Four

I've just gotten off work and I'm heading to hang out with Alex for the rest of the day.

I'm dressed as 'Ella' because even though they are all nice, it's still too risky, you can't trust anyone these days to be honest.

It doesn't take me long to arrive and as soon as I'm about to knock on the front door I see Ryan come running around from the side of the house with Alex chasing him with an angry expression on his face.

Oh dear, this can't be good.

"Give me back my phone charger you bastard!" Alex shouts and I put my hands on my hips watching the scene unfold.

"No! Your phone is one 50! Mine is one twelve!" Ryan shouts

"Then use your own charger!" Alex replies

"It broke!"

"Buy a new one!"

"I'm broke!" Ryan wails

"Then get a job!" Alex shouts and i smirk

"It's too much effort!" Ryan says and i clear my throat and their heads snap towards me

"Lil" Alex says smile appearing on his face and I smile back at him

"Lily, please tell you boyfriend to let me borrow the charger" Ryan says

"I'm staying out of this one" i say feeling slightly uncomfortable about the whole situation. I don't like getting involved with people's little domestics, I usually don't help the situation when people try and made me side with a certain person.

"Look what you've done Alex! You've made her uncomfortable!" Ryan yells

Am I really that readable?

"I didn't make her uncomfortable the situation did" Alex says easily before walking up to me and he kisses me

"Alright love birds" Ryan scoffs and I smile at him.

"If you see him in the street, walking by himself, talking to himself, have pity" I sing quietly along with the best musical playing on the tv in the living room with a sniffle

"Philip, you would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown
he is working through the unimaginable" Ryan yells and i flinch in Alex's arms.

Ryan and I have found a bond, Hamilton.

Alex says he thinks it's 'okay' but I've caught him singing along multiple times in the last couple of bourse, he loves it.

"I love this musical so much" I say

Alex nods, "so do I"

My head snaps to him and i smile and he looks at me, "i said that out loud didn't I?" He asks

I nod, "yep! No judgement here, I've cried like five times already watching it"

"Me too" Ryan wails and we both look at him wrapped in a blanket in front of the television in the living room.

"Your not watching Hamilton without me!" Ali says crossing her arms in the doorway of the living room

"We'll come in then" Ryan grumbles at her.

"Why's going on?" I whisper to Alex

"Ryan blew up her hair dryer this morning, she went crazy" he tells me and i chuckle

"I'm not even going to ask" I say

"Better not" he says with a smile before kissing my cheek.

We carry on watching the rest of Hamilton before heading out into the back garden. They have a basketball court which has stands next to it where people are sitting just chatting whilst a group of lads my age are just on the courts messing around.
