He shook his head, turning his nose up. "I don't like cereal; it's gross and all soggy." He faked a shudder, pretending to gag.
I laughed again. "You really are weird, Liam," I teased, smiling at him.
He grinned. "You know, it's kind of weird, you being all nice to me over breakfast."
"I could be mean to you if you want," I offered, shrugging.
He laughed and shook his head. "No. I'll get used to it eventually." He walked over to my side. I turned to look at him and he brushed my hair behind my ear, his fingers lingering on my cheek, making me blush. "You really are the most beautiful thing in the world," he murmured. My heart skipped a beat at the honesty in his voice, his blue eyes were burning into mine, making me feel like the only girl in the world.
"Cut that crap out! I might have given my blessing but I don't need it shoved in my face over breakfast," Jake growled as he walked into the kitchen to make some cereal. He slapped Liam on the back of the head on the way past as usual.
We all laughed and Liam stepped behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist, leaning his head on my shoulder. "Thanks, Jake. I know you said to stay away but..." Liam trailed off, looking at my brother gratefully.
"Whatever, Liam. We're fine. Just don't make us have a problem, OK," Jake replied, smiling a friendly smile.
Liam's arms tightened around me. "I won't." He kissed my shoulder lightly and Jake fake gagged, making me laugh.
"Well, come on then, lovebirds, I suppose you need to get to school a little earlier so that you can announce you're together," Jake stated, rolling his eyes.
Liam grinned and nodded. I gasped and shook my head fiercely. "No way! We can't do that," I said, looking at Liam. He looked really hurt for some reason.
"Why not?" he asked, taking my hand, and looking a little confused.
I glanced at Jake; he really wasn't going to like this. "Er, well, I sort of have a bet going on. The next one to sleep with you will win the pot. I could really use that money." I looked at Liam uncomfortably, but he just started to laugh hysterically.
Jake almost choked on his drink. "No way! You can't do that!" he cried, shaking his head violently. "I don't want to know that you two are having sex. I don't!"
I laughed at his annoyed and disgusted face. "Jake, we're not having sex." I shrugged, making his face relax a little. "But when we do, I definitely want to win the pot. I won't if people know I'm his girlfriend already." I looked at Liam, unsure if he would go along with this or not.
"Angel, I don't want you to want to be with me for some bet." He frowned, looking a little hurt.
I smiled seductively at him. "You think that's the reason I'm going to want to have sex with you? Trust me, lover boy; it won't be to do with the money, that'll just a perk."
He leant in and put his mouth to my ear. "So what will be the reason?" he breathed, sending a shiver down my spine.
I bit my lip. "Hmm, I'm not sure but it'll have something to do with you begging me on your knees," I teased, smirking at him.
He laughed and kissed me, pulling me close to his body, sending ripples of desire racing through my bloodstream. He pulled away to look at me, lust written clear across his face. "I'd happily beg you right now you know."
I patted his chest and stepped away before I dragged him back to my bedroom and ripped his sexy ass jeans and black button down shirt off his flawless body. "Oh I know, lover boy." I laughed, trying to catch my breath.
I glanced at Jake who was staring at us eyes wide, his mouth hanging open in shock. "Guys, I seriously can't take these PDA's," he said, grimacing and shaking his head.
"It's OK, the PDA's done. I just think we should keep this quiet for a little while. Why not make a little money for doing something that would happen eventually anyway? That's how I look at it," I said, shrugging.
Liam and Jake looked at each other. "I guess. But will you be able to win? I mean, was the bet to make me break up with my girlfriend or something?" Liam asked, frowning.
