My Quiet Guy

Chapter 15

Lorenzo Colombo

"You cheated!" Ethan exclaims as we just got done playing a game of 2k. I wouldn't say I cheated just that I'm better at it than him.

"I didn't but it's whatever you want to think." I shrug and get up, stretching as I do so.

I've been sitting down for an hour without feeling my feet. That's how long we've been playing so far.

And every time we played, I always beat him and he always claimed I cheated.

"There's no way. Like what the actual fuck!" I chuckle before making my way out the room and down the stairs, seeing my sister in the living room playing with her dolls.

"Eethieee!" Sydney shouts as she sees Ethan climbing down the stairs with his hands in his pockets with a frown on his face.

"Sydsyd!" That frown turns upside down into a wide grin. I roll my eyes and scoff before heading to my original destination–the kitchen.

I open the pantry and take out the Oreos before getting some out. I eat my cookies while watching what's on the tv.

Spongebob.

"Guess what? Lenzo got me an American dream doll!" She shows him the doll, making him chuckle.

"It's very pretty. Just like you." He pokes her cheek before coming towards the kitchen and taking my Oreo out my hand.

"Bro come on. That was my last one." I mumble before smacking him upside the head.

He laughs but coughs when he begins choking on the cookie. I lean against the counter top, arms crossed with a grin on my face.

"Karmas a b.i.t.c.h huh?" I spell out since Syds in the living room and has good hearing. He sticks the finger up at me making me clap my hands together and laughing.

I round the counter and enter the living room, jumping on the couch beside Syd. She leans against my side as I get comfortable.

"Hey I wanna cuddle too!" I hear from the kitchen. I roll my eyes and grab the throw blanket on the back of the couch as soon as Ethan appears.

He sits down on Syd's other side before grabbing some of the blanket and covering himself with it as well.

We all got comfortable on the couch and watched SpongeBob.

"Wake up!" I groan and cover my eyes with the blanket and pillow. The blanket gets snatched off me making me get in a huddle position.

Why do I sleep with fans on knowing I'm going to be cold in the morning?

I will never know.

"Up up, we have important things to do missy." A pat on my thigh has me smacking my teeth together and sitting up.

I rub my eyes and scratch my head before staring at Ayla blankly. Inattentively. Absent-mindedly.

She gave me a smile in return.

"Why'd you wake me?" I mumble before standing up on wobbly legs and an asleep leg.

I hit my legs to wake it up before walking to the bathroom and closing the door, doing my business and washing my face along the lines of brushing my teeth.

"We have to go shopping for Selena's baby shower remember!?" Her voice sounds through the closed door.

I shut my eyes and lean my head on the bathroom mirror. I totally forgot about her sisters baby shower being today.
