My Annoying Neighbour

7. The Cupcake Challenge

>> Kylie Zhang,

"Kylesie" Jackson yells from the kitchen.

Geez a girl can't even go to the restroom for a second without someone like Jackson calling you over and over again. The first four times he called me Kylie, but now he was coming up with the most ridiculous names.

"Do you want to die" I complain as I enter the kitchen.

He only smirks as he holds up a tray of cupcakes, that smile soon fades to a pained facial expression. "Ah the tin is still hot".

He softly puts it down before putting his hands under the faucet. I did notice his hands were red.

"You idiot, don't grab things so carelessly when they just came out of the oven. You could get burned seriously".

"Yes, thank you for the concern now please let's start with the frosting" he says excitedly.

It was still a wonder that I even agreed to bake cupcakes with him, and this time for real. Without baking powder fights though.

A week ago Kellan give us a backyard shower with the hose, so after that we just spend the afternoon sunbathing and getting out clothes dry since Kellan didn't allow us in the house.

To be completely honest it wasn't that big of an disaster to stay outside with Jackson, he's not that big of an idiot as I always thought he is. Odd part was that he mentioned nothing about the place where he used to live, his 'band' or his friend Mark. Maybe this guy has more secrets then I thought when I first met this idiot.

"Let's worry about your hands first okay" I ask him as I turn the faucet off to look at his hands. "Oh you're good to go, but be careful and not too much frosting. I don't want you or Kellan to jump through the house all high from sugar".

The thought of having a funny brother did make me wonder if I should insert some extra sugar in one cupcake for Kellan. He's always so serious, annoying and well an big idiot.

"Fine, I will make a big heart for Kylie since she's the heart of Greg. His Dharma, my Dharma- you are my Dharma" he says cheekily as he grabs the first cupcake.

I shake my head as I carefully put the second tray of fresh cupcakes away from Jackson's reach or else he might seriously injure himself and I don't feel like playing nurse.

With a soft sigh I look over his shoulder to see what he is up to, he better not write down Dharma or something. I never liked that show since I saw the guy who plays Greg's role first in Criminal Minds, so seeing him so happy and smiling in Dharma & Greg freaked me out.

"Why does that heart look like a butt" I question once I see how he has decorated the first cupcake.

If this is a heart, then I am the best artist in the world.

"Eh it's just upside down" Jackson says as he turns his cupcake around.

"Jack".

He flashes me an awkward smile. "Eh yes".

"It's still a butt, but then upside down- with my initials in it. Great you made a buttcake".

Before I know it I got a rolling Jackson on the floor as he laughs loudly. If Kellan would walk into the kitchen right now he might suspect that we are making weed cupcakes or something.

"Buttcake, that's a good one. Oh let me write it on a cupcake for you".

Just like that he jumps up with a smile, ready to 'decorate' another cupcake.

"If you dare to write buttcake on one of the cupcakes then I will kill you".

He only laughs loudly as he wipes some whipped cream on my nose. Didn't his parents ever thought him to not play with your food?

"Ah but, you are my little cupcake. Arraso".

My eyes widen in shock, did he just call me his cupcake? Why would he even call me that.

"Yah just frost those cupcakes and don't touch anything that can burn you or kick your butt" I mutter and wipe my nose clean with my sleeve before pinching his nose, which he replied with a soft grunt to rub his nose.

I really wonder what his parents are like to have such a crazy kid. But to all honesty he was making me laugh so I suppose it's not that big of a deal.

With a small smile on my features I watch how he is trying to smear frosting on the cupcakes as his tongue is sticking out of his mouth. It's kind cute to see him like this.

"Yah Kylie, you still are my cupcake- my cupcake arraso" he repeats as he grabs my chin to look into his eyes.

I feel how my cheeks are starting to heat up just by looking into his dark brown eyes, at the way he bites his lower lip when he is looking at me. What was going on? I still remember how he bumped into his friend while wearing swimming bands around his waist. I clearly remember how I could never be attracted to someone who goes around doing stupid things, but why did my knees suddenly start to feel weak just by looking into his gorgeous eyes.

"Eh let me go before I slap you silly" I manage to get out while my eyes are still focused on those kissable lips of his.

How did things escalate so quickly?

He chuckles as he lets go of my chin to make quick spin before holding up one of his cupcakes. "Tada~" he says with a smirk.

The feelings I had when he looked in my eyes are completely gone by now as my jaw drops open. This guy really doesn't know what listening is.

"Ah I told you to not write buttcakes on them" I shout.

He had drawn more butts on the cupcakes but to top it all off he had been writing buttcakes on every single one of them.

"Are you trying to murder me". A soft sigh escapes my mouth. After watching all the episodes of Jamie Oliver I had thought that Jackson knew at least how to decorate a cupcake. "Just move your ass and let the proffesional handle this".

Jackson snickers before move aside with his hands raised in the air.
