Honey.

I came downstairs about an hour or two later to find Lamar and Charmaine lounging lazily on the couch. I sighed happily; I had got my best friend back and did a good deed whilst doing so.

'Hey guys'

'Yeah' Lamar replied. I just ignored him, as I had been trying to do for the last day or so. Charmaine didn't even register the fact that I was talking to her, it seemed she was lost in her thoughts as she stared at the wall behind the TV.

'Is she alright' I questioned Lamar concerned.

'She is right here you know' she screwed me and I didn't take offence, the old Charmaine was back. Instead I just laughed.

'Whatever, I'm going to get some food, Chinese?'

'Yeah thanks, here's a twenty, I want number 7 & 26'

'Okay' I replied as blunt as possible 'Charmaine?'

'I'll have whatever you're having' she replied as blunt as I had been. I shrugged it off again. I guessed the pregnancy was getting to her. Hormones aye. I took the money from Lamar's hand avoiding contact with his skin; I picked up my keys from the table outside and made a swift exit. I walked to the Chinese shop; it wasn't too far away, just a 10 minute walk. Upon my arrival I opened the door and stepped in just as a figure turned around.

'Hey Kyle'

'Kool, I just clocked, I still don't know your name'

'Oh yeah, its honey'

'Beautiful name, beautiful person'

'Eww cheesy line, don't use it on me ever again'

He chuckled loudly and the old lady sitting down in the corner tutted gibing us eyes the evil eye. Facety cow.

'You're a funny girl you know'

'Yes, I do know'

'Oh feisty'

'Tell me something I don't know'

'Well I don't really know you, I need to get to know you better first so can I have your number'

'What's up with you and your creepy chat up lines, anyway I don't have a -'I felt the bulk in my tracksuit bottoms reminding me of the phone Gerald had given me earlier. 'Well I just got it today, do what you gotta do. I'm not familiar with this phone yet'

'Okay'

5 minutes later and he gave it back to me

'I programmed it for you'

'Thanks I guess'

'Yeah, it's alright'

'Your order no. 7, 26, and two 3's' the waiter read out handing me my carrier bag.

'Yep' I scooped the carrier bag from her hands and turned to Kyle realising he had come before me to the shop yet he was still waiting.

'How much did you order?'

'£50 worth'

'For yourself?' I was quite shocked

'No mini party, your invited to come, that's if you want to' he chuckled again, probably a my face.

'I would love to say yes, but I don't want to'

'Huh?'

'Don't worry'

'Okay' he chuckled yet again, it was getting old.

'Well, I'll be off Mr Chuckles'

'Mr Chuckles? Original' he said sarcastically emphasising on the 'original'

'Shut up'

'Or what bad girl'

'I'll beat you up'

He just laughed harder and I folded my arms across my chest 'Ah, stop your killing me, I'll ping you later'

'Fine' I walked and opened the door.

'What no hug yeah?'

'Yeah, no hug' I waved at him cheerfully and walked out. When I turned back a few steps later I could see him still laughing to himself and shaking his head in turn. I got home 10 minutes later, the sun was shining and I had taken the time to sink in the warmth. I sighed and walked away from the front door dashing the keys on the side table. I walked up to the living room door and swung it open to see Lamar and Charmaine springing apart. I raised my eyebrows accusingly.

'He was removing my chain; it got stuck to my hair'

'Oh' I blew out the breath I hadn't even realised I was holding 'special fried rice and ½ aromatic duck for us to share' I said handing Charmaine her food.

'And here's yours'

'Thanks'

'Okay whatever'

** ** ** **

Boy was I full, I swear my stomach was about to burst.

'I'm going to bath then have an early night today'

'Yeah I might join you on that' Charmaine told me getting up in the process.

'Night Lamar'

'Night babe'

'Okay bye now' I said rudely

'Night'

It was only 8 o'clock and I was quite tired, plus being this full I could hardly move but I forced myself to get up and follow Charmaine up the stairs.

'Are you really tired?' she asked me hesitantly

'Yeah, why'

'Well...its nothing, thanks again I really appreciate it hope you remember that' she smiled a small sad smile and walked away. Weird I thought as I walked slowly to my room. My eyes had begun to drift together as I forced my eyes to stay open I opened bedroom door. As soon I slumped on the bed exhaustion filled my ever move and I was soon asleep.

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed; it was Wednesday which meant double P.E. Damn. Oh well at least we had moved on to netball which I quite enjoyed. I packed up my P.E. and then went towards the bath room; to my surprise it was locked.

'LAMAR?'

His head popped out from the room behind me, it startled me a little, 'Yeah?'

'Oh nothing, ooooh yeah it's Charmaine'

'Yeah you can use my mum and dad's bathroom downstairs' a small cloud flashed past his face when he said 'dad'

'Okay, where is it?'

'Second floor, second door to your left'

'Thanks'

'Yeah'

'Is 'your welcome' too over-rated that you can't use it anymore?'

He just gave me a mocking look and retreated back to his bedroom. 'Bloody rude, I tell the lot of you' I muttered to myself as I made my way downstairs...
