It's No Fairytale

Chapter VI

"Laurenceeee?"

"Aleeeeeeex!"

"Please come over tonight! My mom's making chicken!"

"Now she's making fancy meals? There's no way I'm coming!"

"Okay. You don't have a choice anymore. You're coming. Laue, I swear this is the only time I'll force you to do something! I know you're gonna hate me for the rest of your life because of that, but please, come! Please?"

"You're not supposed to say please when you're forcing someone to do things they don't want to."

"I'll see you tonight! I'll come pick you up at the hospital at five, whether you like it or not!"

                "I'm sorry I can't stay any longer...it breaks my heart to leave you alone so often, but you know Alex, I can't say no to him. He's always been there for me these past years. It's a kind of payback. And yeah, I'm sure that he's not a boyfriend I'm trying to hide from you, he really is gay. Once, he even told me he thought you were sexy...but I don't think I was supposed to tell you that."

"I don't think he will be mad at you."

                I got so scared that I literally jumped.

                And to make things even worse, it has to be him, this spoiled imbecile who is in the room right now, staring at me with a stupid smirk on his face and his notepad in his hands.

"Didn't anyone tell you that eavesdropping was rude?"

"Didn't anyone tell you that following strangers during their work day was bad?"

"Fine. You get that one."

                Shit.

                How did he know that?

"It wasn't a challenge."

"Anyway, with you, there won't be any challenge."

                Congrats Laurence! Way to ruin the moment!

"So, Alex likes your brother?"

                Yeah, change the subject. Idiot.

"Why? Do you want his number?"

                Someone please shut me up. Clearly, I can't do that alone.
