- BRIELLE

"so chris how's it going with alex?" declan asked as chris choked on his water. chris was sitting next to me and i looked over to see his face turning bright red.

"sorry," chris said as he coughed twice. "how'd you know about that?" declan tilted his head at him as he glanced at me.

"you are aware that brielle has her and delilah over all the time right? they talk pretty loudly," declan replied as he smirked.

"we do not talk loudly. you just like to eavesdrop." i rolled my eyes and took a bite of my chicken alfredo. chris looked over at me for a split second before turning back to declan. 

declan narrowed his eyes at me. "he's such a sweetheart but he hasn't kissed me yet. i really like him i wonder if he feels the same," declan mocked in a high voice to sound like alex. i rolled my eyes and saw chris blushing out of the corner of my eye.

"okay, enough of that because she doesn't sound like that at all. but things are going good," chris replied as he tried to hide his face by drinking more water.

declan raised his eyebrows. "so good that you haven't kissed her yet?" i laughed a little bit at this and so did my parents. chris knew it was all. in good fun so he just shook his head and took a bite of his chicken alfredo.

"enough of bullying chris! declan how's mia?" my mom questioned as she wriggled her eyebrows. declan was now the one blushing. i saw chris give my mom a look that said 'thank you' and she smiled at him.

we finished up dinner and chris was now helping my mom clean up in the kitchen. i so badly wanted to talk to him but he was so good at dodging me. even while he was literally in my house.

i finally had enough and started to walk up to chris from the dinning room before declan grabbed my arm and pulled me back behind the wall.

"what the hell is going on with you and chris?" declan whispered as he looked over my shoulder to make sure no one was coming.

i crossed my arms and shifted uncomfortably. "what are you talking about?"

"bri," declan gave me a knowing look and shifted his weight onto one leg. "three weeks ago chris was at our house and you were looking at him like you wanted to risk it all for him. now, you guys haven't even breathed in each other's direction."

i scoffed. declan didn't know what he was talking about. i wasn't looking at chris in any way except for as a friend. although, he was right about the second part. that wasn't my fault though. it was chris. 

"first of all, i wasn't looking at chris in any old way. second of all, it's him. he won't talk to me," i whispered as i crossed my arms. i saw declan's face change slightly but he quickly corrected it.

"whatever. just correct it because you two made dinner awkward as fuck," declan replied as he pointed at the dinner table. i shook my head but i knew declan was right. i had to talk to him. it was now or never.

"alright i'll talk to him now." declan smiled at me as i walked back towards the kitchen. i saw chris, my mom, and my dad laughing about something as they cleaned up. it was honestly a cool aight. reece could never.

i cleared my throat and the three of them looked at me. chris' smile dropped slightly as he made eye contact with me. "mom, dad, would you mind if i stole chris from you gys for a second?"
