My enemy since childhood

Chapter 72

I felt Thomas hot breath against my cheek, he was still close. Pulse pounding so hard in my chest that was all i heard, wondering what he was thinking. would he say anything?

"Y/n, i-"

He was interrupted and i flinched when i felt a strong arm around my shoulders. Ughh. What was Thomas going to say? i opened my mouth but was interrupted before i could say anything.

"Don't argue now, come on! we are having a damn party!" Jake said pulling me away from Thomas.

Jake was many things but right now i wanted to call him something that would make his tongue roll off. Why had he come to interrupt us? why?! he should have seen that we did anything but argue. Was Thomas going to kiss me? would he say he was in love with me? fuck you Jake!

I shook off Jake's arm and sat down on one of the sofas with a sigh. Maybe it was just as well we were interrupted, i thought as i met Kylie's glare. Murder was not something i was interested in, especially not when i was the target. If Kylie could, she would probably have clawed my eyes out and thrown me into a pile of snow.

Brooke sat down next to me with a smirk on her face so i frowned at her and took a sip of the cloudy drink that was anything but good. But i would get drunk, that was one thing that was certain. She was probably more than pleased with herself, sure she might have been right but if we hadn't been interrupted...

My gaze was automatically drawn to the other sofa where Thomas sank down looking anything but pleased. Then there were two of us.

It didn't get any better when Kylie more or less sitting on his lap. I had to clench my jaw and look away to not throw myself at her and scream that Thomas was mine.

"Don't you think it would be a good idea to tell everyone about you two now?" Brooke whispered, nodding towards Thomas and Kylie.

"Maybe, but not yet, it would just be chaos" i muttered, it took all my strength not to turn my gaze to Thomas.

But i trusted him, he wasn't going to do something with Kylie. Her sitting on his lap was annoying enough but fairly innocent so it wasn't worth starting a world war. Not now. I took another big gulp, at least getting drunk would relax me. Somewhat at least.

"Chaos or not, Kylie will do anything to get Thomas into bed and you know it," Brooke continued.

"She won't succeed" i said shortly and drained the drink. Damn how disgusting it is!

"Those are the right beats, nice Y/n! Come and i will make you another drink" Jake said happily, yanking the glass from my hand.

"I can mix it myself!" i said and stood up quickly, jeez, already my head was spinning, of a drink! but it was just nice.

I followed Dylan out to the small kitchen where even more bottles were lined up.

"How the hell did you get all this?" i asked, leaning against the sink.

"It was easier to smuggle bottles of booze than a plate of berries" Jake said laughing as he poured liquor my glass.

I raised my eyebrows. No wonder the previous drink had tasted like fox poison. Jake's measure of a good drink seemed to be half booze and half barries.
