Get To Know You

GTKY Chapter 44

[SETTING REMINDER: SATURDAY]

"CASSIDY!"

Cassidy ran behind Cole and tugged on his shirt tightly. "Cole Cole Cole she's gonna kill me!" She yelled, pointing at me. Dana, Dalton, and Gabe just shook their heads and went to the kitchen.

"YES. I. AM! I ALMOST DIED DRIVING ON MY WAY HERE!"

"Well, you didn't! So go away!" She shooed me, still hiding behind Cole. Cole was just laughing at the both of us. "You!" I pointed to him. "You are a part of this! Uuuugh I swear, I hate the two of you!"

"Well... You and Will wouldn't have made up now if it wasn't for us," Cole said then shrugged.

Two arms wrapped me from behind, and he sure does smell like an asian boy. "He has a point." He whispered in my ear.

"Look at me! I'm a disaster! I went suicidal and I literally did a scandal out there!"

"No one told you to do that," Cass said, peeping over Cole's shoulder. "I hate you," I said and glared at her.

"You can't hate me, Laine."

I glared at her once again and turned my head sideways to look at Will, whose face is buried on my shoulder. "If you're not going to Paris or whatsoever, why do you have a backpack on? Don't tell me you're part of this act."

"I'm not," he shook his head. "I really am going home."

"See, Laine? We're not lying about him going home," Cass said, as if she's stating the obvious.

"What? You're going home? I'm confused." I trailed my eyes from Will to Cass and Cole, then to Will again, then to Cass and Cole.

Will sighed, "I am going home. But only until Monday. It's my dad's birthday tomorrow," he answered with a smile. "What's the backpack for?" I asked.

"Laundry." He took it off and threw it on the couch.

Cole cleared his throat. "Okay, we'll leave you two alone. If you need food, we'll be in the kitchen. Eating." He dragged Cassidy not before she winked at me.

I slipped out of Will's arms and sat on the couch. He sat beside me. "What are you waiting for? Go now. Your dad might be waiting for you," I said and yawned.

Damn all these people. Why are they all awake at this time of day? I should still be sleeping right now.

"You're tired." Will said, then he stood in front of me and offered his hand. "What?" I asked.

"Sleep?"

"I will. When I get home. Now, you need to go." I looked up at him, and he was just staring at me with a blank face.

"My dad can wait. Your sleep cannot. Come on." He held both of my hands and pulled me up. I gladly obliged.

Duh, like I have a choice?

"Uhm, Laine?" Dana shouted from the kitchen when we were halfway up the stairs.

"What!"

"Your dad's car's still breathing," he said, appearing into the living room so I could see him.

"Oh shoot!" I ran back down but Will pulled me by the arm. "Will, I'd be screwed!"

"Dana will do it, right Dana?" He said in a singsong voice. I looked at Dana. He glared but he nodded anyway.

I giggled and threw him the keys. He caught them in time. "Thanks Dana! Love you!"

When I faced the front, Will was staring at me with his eyebrows raised. "You're such an infant." I stood on my toes and kissed him.
