Chapter 14

"He's coming!" Tamera yells from the entrance door.

Kevin can't stop laughing as Liam curses out loud from inside his room. Nerdy Sarah walks out, brushing her long raven hair with her fingers. I stand in front of my door with my key in hand, ready to lock the couple inside.

The curvy black girl has a sour expression on her diamond-shaped face. "This is ridiculous," she says, crossing her arms under her breasts.

Liam groans, walking out of his room. "I know, but I don't want to deal with Noel for now." He sneaks an arm around her waist, kissing her forehead and her face lights up.

Tamera rushes inside the hallway, going straight to the kitchen.

Noel is here.

Liam and Sarah don't waste time and slip inside my bedroom.

"Oh God, my stomach hurts," Kevin says from the kitchen, trying to calm down his loud laugh.

"You're no help," I say, locking the door before joining him and Tamera.

I quickly sit on the chair, passing the key to Kevin, who puts it on his pants' pocket. Bailey is sitting in front of me, using his phone as his long leg starts poking mine. Meanwhile, Tamera is walking around the kitchen, making herself a mug of tea.

Kevin couldn't keep his mouth shut and revealed to Noel what Liam has been doing with Sarah, and now we have a pissed-off Noel bursting inside our flat.

"Heart!" he yells, walking straight inside his bedroom.

I shake my head at the whole situation. I was supposed to finish my assignment with Kevin. Instead, here we are, doing nothing because of Liam. Noel gets out of the room, slamming the door shut and marching toward us.

"Where is he?" he growls.

Kevin turns around in his chair. "First of all, calm down, mate. This is not your flat."

His grey eyes narrow at his friend. "Don't start, Bailey. Where's Liam?"

"You're being dramatic for nothing," Tamera comments, dipping the teabag in her black mug.

"Please. You sleep with Andros' girls just to get back at him. You can't talk for shit."

Tamera rolls her hazelnut eyes. "What Andros and I do are none of your business, but you wanting to fight Liam is just ridiculous. Sarah doesn't give a fuck about you."

"She clearly doesn't now since I didn't even get the chance to make a move before he stole her from me."

"Please. You know damn well that's not how it went," Kevin says, standing up. He halts in front of Noel, crossing his bulky arms across his chest. "Sarah texted him first."

Noel mimics his position. "I don't give a fuck about what she did. He knew my intentions with her and still went behind my back. Now, where the fuck is he?"

The boys are glaring at each other, clenching their jaws as they wait for the other to back down. "You're not seeing him until you calm the fuck down," Kevin's voice drops, becoming even lower than usual.

"Watch me." Noel turns around and starts opening the other bedroom doors.

I stand up, going after him, my heart loud in my ears. "Noel, don't you think you're overreacting?"

"Don't interfere."

"How can I not when you're walking in and out of our rooms." I swallow a lump when he tries to push my door open but can't.
