Dream - Lip Gallagher

CHAPTER 4

"Debbie, I'm here." I call out as I enter the Gallagher house through the back door, into their kitchen.

Their house is very similar to ours, as are all the other houses on this street, as they all have the same shape. Our house has a very different interior, and we only have one staircase compared to the Gallaghers, but otherwise it's pretty much the same.

"I'll be right there." Debbie calls down to me from above, making me roll my eyes and take a deep breath.

I'm already ten minutes late because I really wanted to take a shower after work, and Debbie still isn't done. I can't believe this.

Debbie is sixteen and has a beautiful daughter. I know, I can't believe it either. Being a mother definitely makes her a lot more mature, and sometimes she even seems older than I am.

She asked me, when I was still at work, if I could drive her somewhere because she can't drive herself and doesn't have a car.

I don't have my own car either, I use Kevin and Veronika's car, which initially both of them were not happy with, but they are okay with it now, and I give them a lot of money for gas anyway.

I close the door behind me, and my eyes go straight to the four boys sitting at the couch. Lip and Ian both look at me since I just walked into their house, screaming like a crazy person.

No matter which room I walk in, my eyes go always straight for Lip, and right know I really have to be careful not to stare at him completely.

He still has wet hair hanging down his face, which tells me that he recently had a shower while he's wearing a long-sleeved green sweatshirt that shows off his muscular torso.

Okay Allie, breathe, BREATHE.

He's sitting completely relaxed on the couch, his eyes on me while I feel like I'm about to pass out, because he looks so handsome right now.

I'm really happy that I changed after work, and now look at least a little better than I did this afternoon.

I'm wearing simple denim shorts that have a few rips and a loose long-sleeved shirt that shows my stomach slightly. It's nothing special, but it's definitely better than the dirty Patsys Pie shirt I was wearing before.

I quickly avert my eyes from him and look at Carl, who is peeking into Liam's pants and then exhales in annoyance, making me look at him confused.

That looked a bit weird.

„What's going on here?" I ask amusedly as I approach the boys and watch Carl, who leans back annoyed on the table he's sitting on.

"Carl checked to see if Liam is circumcised." Ian replies with his mouth full of food while leaning back on the couch, and looking at Carl in amusement too.

"Why do you want to know that?" I ask, still amused, clasping my arms in front of my chest.

There's nothing left to sit on and I'm definitely not going to sit on the floor, which means I have to stand so the boys have to look up at me.

"I'm the only one who isn't circumcised." He tells me frustrated while my eyebrows furrow in confusion, and I give Ian a quick glance, who just laughs and shakes his head.

"You've seen a lot of wood, most of them cut?" Carl asks Ian while I chuckle before I can see in the corner of my eye that Lip is crossing one leg over the other, causing my eyes to immediately go back to Lip.

Just the way he's sitting in front of me, with his broad arm over Liam while his blue eyes look curiously at Ian, turns me on so much.

Even if I'm not in love with him anymore, I'll probably always find him attractive.
