»Seamus' POV«

I was in the car, on the way to the airport. For some reason Ashley was eager to tag along. I don't know if it was that she genuinely really wanted to meet Sophia and Merel, or if she thought they were threats to her and she wanted to size them up. Either way, I was glad to have my girl in the car with me. Well, I thought I was. The car was dead silent except for a Queensrÿchr album faintly playing. I wanted to say something, but instead I grabbed my phone to make a call.

Ring... ring... ring... fuck... pick up!

I heard Nick's troll voice along with James and Sly laughing their asses off in the background. "Are you a real girl?" 

I rolled my eyes as I replied. "Nick, give James his phone back."

"You're no fun." He complained before handing the phone over to its rightful owner.

"Hey." James said still giggly.

"Hey, I was just calling to make sure you lazy asses actually did what I told you to."

He sighed. "The house is clean and the fridge is stocked with Dr. Pepper and Crush and we got your whole grocery list of shit! Was there anything I missed?"

"Nope, that's it. Thanks for doing that for me, especially the cleaning part. The house has been nasty since we moved in and Merel has OCD."

"A clean freak?!" He whined.

"Yep." I replied.

Just like a toddler he responded with "Nooooo!"

I couldn't help but laugh. "Hey, at least Sophia grew out of her OCD. She's just as messy as you now."

He giggled even at the sound of her name. Does he like Sophia? Nah, he couldn't. He hasn't even met her. Maybe he'll fall into my plan without me having to convince him.

"I wanted to ask you about her by the way."

Interesting...

"What about her?" I asked innocently.

He lowered his tone. "Is she uh... is she single?"

I heard Sly make kissy noises in the background. Then James yelled "SHUT UP!" and Sly squeaked when something got thrown at him.

I laughed at the whole ordeal then replied. "Newly single."

"How newly?" he asked.

I shrugged. "Few days."

"Fuck." he sighed.

"Why? You like her?"

"Yeah, I... I might." He stuttered.

James is perfect for Sophia. She likes bad boys, but never cared to find one with a soft heart like him. He'll treat her right; I know it.

"I think she'll like you, a lot actually."

"You think?" He asked curious and hopeful.

"Yeah." I dragged my voice knowing I should stick to the bro-code and give him all warnings necessary. "But, I should warn you, she might as well be Ramona Flowers with all her evil Ex's."

"I don't care. She's beautiful and if she has a good personality to match, I'd fight 'em for her."

I smiled. "I'm glad to hear that."

I glanced down at the clock. It read 7:15.

"Plane lands in twenty minutes. So I should get to the house around 8:40."

"Okay," he replied. "See you then."

I heard Nick jokingly yell "Byyyyeee!" and everyone burst out laughing. I chuckled and hung up the phone. Ashley looked at me with a curios smile.

"What was that all about?" She asked.

"James likes Sophia. God, I feel like I'm in middle school again saying that."

She laughed but said nothing else. It was worrisome to see her this quiet. What was going on in her head? It was driving my insane to know, but I had no courage to ask.

Merel is practically a sister to me. She treats me better than my own family does most the time, and Ashely is my world. If they don't get along, I don't know what'll happen. On second thought I do; World War III is what'll happen. 

Hey everyone! Sorry this is so short, but it's really late! Stupid sleep....grrr lol. Hope you enjoyed regardless!
