Kissed by a Bullet

Chapter 4 ~ Bang, bang into the room

After Carly dropped me off I went straight to my room and changed into my huge shark onesie. Yes, the shark onzie that gave me hopes and dreams when Luke gave it to me on my birthday. The best thing about Luke and I is that the fact we are twins but we are born on two different days. Luke was born at 11:57 pm and I was born at 12:03am.

I make my way down the stairs and walk to the living room. Being home alone is great, Luke is at basketball practice and mom is at work.

I grab the remote and turn on Netflix, I flip through the movies and decide to watch white chicks. I pause the beginning, I want something eat while I watch the movie. I walk into the kitchen and look through the cabinet. Since my ability to cook was given to Luke, I decide to make Ramen noodles because I know I won't burn the house down making those.

I think I am the worse cook in the world. I once set our stove on fire just by boiling water. Top Chef here I come.

When my noodles are done I walk into the other room and start the movie. 25 minutes into it the doorbell rings. I pause the movie and walk into the kitchen to place my bowl in the sink then I walk to the door.

I grab the handle and opened it to the hottest ranking Hot Tamale.

"What the hell are you wearing?" Was the first thing that came out of his mouth.

I put my hood up. "I'm a shark gangster you got a problem?" I say crossing my arms.

He shook his head and laugh. "Yes, Melon."

I put my hood down. "Did you just call me melon?"

"Yes I did, now move." He barged inside. I shut the door.

"What do you want?" I ask him.

"This is the only day I don't work and we need to do our assignment." He says coolly.

"Tuesday is your only day off?" Wow why am I asking him so many question?

"Yep, so let's get started I have to meet Leigh later." He says plopping on the couch.

"But I... And you.... Ugh. I'll get my laptop." I say defeatedly. I run up stairs, grabbing my laptop and running back downstairs.

"Okay I started some of it." I say opening the laptop. I sit down on the couch on the other side of Jace.

"Why are you sitting all the way over there? I don't have cooties melon." He says with a smirk. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.

"Well you move closer to me because my butt is staying here." I say starting to type a sentence. I hear him sigh then I feel the couch dips next to my feet.

"Put your feet down." He says agitatedly.

"Nope."

"I can't see the computer."

"That sounds like a you problem."

~••~

After 30 minutes of working and getting two paragraphs done out of twelve we have to do. We decide to take a break.

"I'm going to go make cinnamon tea." I say shutting my laptop and getting up to walk to the kitchen.

I walk in and grab a glass out of the cabinet and a tea bag.

"Why don't you just make regular tea?" Jace asks me.

"You're asking this to a girl who is wearing a shark onesie." I simply say filling my glass with hot water.

"Good point." Jace says as he opens the fridge and grabs a Coke.

I finish making my tea, I pick it up and shuffle back into the living room.
