Highly Unlikely [BxB]

CHAPTER TWENTY

Why The Movie Lasted Five Minutes

               It wasn't a good idea, far from it. Kit was about to take the gigantic lid off a gigantic can of worms, and I would have to sit through it. The situation was bound to create some sparks, and those sparks were bound to ignite, and create a little kind of hell fire of their own.

               And yet here I was, across from Liam on Knox's kitchen island, making light conversation while we waited for the rest of the boys to pull up. Like I didn't know that the day was going to end a lot more dramatically than it was going.

               "Aye am I the only one who thinks meatballs and spaghetti don't go together?" Liam asked, unable to hide his slight disgust. He was just about as random as one could be.

               "Yes. Yes, you are," I said while reaching up to pick one of my favorite snacks of all time. Wasabi flavored Doritos that Knox's mom got from time to time from God knows where. They are seriously so good! And conveniently stashed in the furthest cabinet. Knox would kill me if he knew I was eating the last one. Especially since I'd already devoured the other four.

               Knox's mother wasn't home, and wouldn't be for probably the next two weeks. That explained why there were about to be five teenage boys wreaking havoc everywhere in the house in the middle of the day.

               "Shut yo' ass up! With that weird ass shit you eatin'. Ain't no way I'm listening to someone eating so much wasabi they about to turn green. You don't know shit about food."

"Gee Liam," I counter. "You married to Spaghetti? Or is it meatballs? Calm your titties."

               At what I said, he almost seemed to pipe up, it looked like a little bit of excitement that was immediately quelled down. "That friend of yours," said Liam, his tone completely different now. "The Chinese girl...you said-"

               "Whoa whoa whoa..." There was no way I wasn't going to tease him for this one. "I say marriage and you bring up Amber-Lee? Dang bro, that bad?" Most interesting indeed.

               "Shut the fuck up!" he said. And for the first time in my life, I saw the darkest of reds sneak up on Liam's cheeks. And for reasons other than his pale ass. He was flaming! Motherfuckin' Amber-Lee! "You said you'd bring her you fucker, I'm only asking about that."

               "Of course." I knew I was making it hard for him but I was having so much fun. "You want me to come over with her?"

               "Just shut the fuck up K," Liam said and looked away, but that only showed me how hard he was clenching his jaw before he blew out a breath, the color finally disappearing little by little from his cheeks. "Anyway, you feel useless yet?"
