LIAM

You know a WTF moment?

It's a moment where you are so speechless and in a state of shock that time freezes and everything happens in 0.1x speed while your brain lights one word in neon:

WTF?!

I was having a good week. Olivia did her job and made Vecker jealous. We were winning games so nothing could bring me down. Then I opened the front door and had a what the fuck moment.

Odessa has been annoyed with me which means we haven't talked or seen each since the grocery run on Wednesday. When I see her standing in my doorway all dolled up I'm speechless.

Literal words, refuse to come out.

Her dark hair is held back in a sleek bun behind her head. Her open black coat shows a navy silk dress with a v neckline and string straps and suede pointy heels. It stops just before her ankles and has a high slit on the side.

The outline of her boobs are on display along with a necklace that travels between them. Its sliver, the color of her earrings and sparkly anklet.

My eyes move up and immediately pause by her full lips. They are painted a wine-red color that makes her look dangerous and sexy.

She looks like a femme fatale.

I'm so frozen I don't notice Jonathan come up behind me till he gives her a hug that makes her smile. He's in dress pants, shoes and a maroon dress shirt.

"You look beautiful," he whispers as America emerges from the cab all dolled up too

"You look beautiful," he whispers as America emerges from the cab all dolled up too.

Did I enter a parallel universe when I went to bed last night?

"What's going on?" I face John B when he appears next to me in a navy suit.

"We're going on a double date." He kisses America's cheek and they all enter the house like it's a normal thing they usually do.

Yep. Definitely a parallel universe I'm in.

"Can I talk to the both of you in the kitchen?" I'm looking at my housemates.

I have no problem pulling the captain card because I need clarity on what the hell is going on here. I'm sure the explanation is reasonable.

"Wassup G?" John B opens the fridge as the girls settle in the living room.

"Why is Vecker here?" I keep my voice low.

"She's my date." Jonathan is the one to speak.

I give him a look so dark, he steps back without even realizing and his Adam's apple jumps.

"Respectfully JJ, I'm going to need you to stay out of this one." I'm surprised at how calm I am.

The only reason he is even witnessing this conversation is because I didn't want him alone with Vecker. He's lucky I'm not going apeshit for his little date comment.
