Act Like A Family

~Chapter Nine~

"I don't know what to do."

"Date him! You obviously like him, just go for it, don't let this pass you, Nina."

"Tristan, I don't even know if I can keep him attracted to me, he has all these model like girls jumping all over him."

"He doesn't like those bitches dumby! He'd be arguing with them to be with him if he did! You're so stupid sometimes girl. You really think Larry is the type of guy to fall from some girl that flexes at each compliment thrown her way?"

"Tristan I told him to give me a couple days. If I go and tell him now he-"

"-You know what? I'm hanging up, and you're going to go go make Larry your man."

"Don't you-"

"-One."

"Tristan please! I'm serious. I need you ri-"

"-two."

"I swear to god if you-"

"-three. Bye girl, don't call me unless you're thanking me!"

The flat dial tone followed and I tore the phone away from my ear and glared down at it.

How could he fucking hang up and leave me to do this all on my own?

I needed him...

I dropped the phone onto my mattress and let my head fall forwards, burying my face in the soft material.

He was right...I needed to go and just do this.

I obviously have feelings for Larry and...I'd be seriously missing out on something that if approached right, can be one of the coolest relationships I'll ever been in.

I pushed myself off from my bed until my feet went over the edge and landed on the ground.

I twisted around and stood up, walking to my door. My steps slowed as I neared the looming doorway.

I felt...nervous. I know he likes me and whatever but...this feeling always comes before two people decide on beginning a real relationship...right?

I rolled my eyes, looked to the ground and breathed in, gathering up all of my strength.

I walked out and peeked into his room to see it was empty. I was hoping he'd be alone...

fuck.

I slowly strolled down the hallway and down the stairs, taking my time before turning into the living room to see they were both watching the television.

Laurent was sitting on the left side of the couch, the side of his cheek resting in his left palm, and Larry on the right. I thought for a second before biting my lower lip and taking a step further into the living room to make myself noticed.

"Larry?" Both of their heads turned to me and I wished that if Laurent was ever going to give us privacy, it'd be now.

But, he sat there, looking a little interested in what I have to say.

My hands came together nervously and I cleared my throat, "I wanna be your girlfriend," I mumbled, hoping he'd hear and understand and I could stop being so skittish.

"Hmm?" He pushed himself up to stand and his brother smiled.

"Sorry, I couldn't hear you." Fucking ass. "I want to date you." His hands moved behind his back and he walked towards me, a smile playing on his lips.

"Say again." "I hate you." He laughed, his steps coming to a halt in front of me.

"You so mean," he chuckled, bringing his hands out and grabbed mine. As I looked up into his brown eyes, I prayed he was done with picking on me.

"You really want to be with me?" He asked, his left thumb sliding over my knuckles in a comforting way.

I was more so nervous...I didn't want this to end horribly like all the rest.

I didn't want Larry to turn out to be a huge asshole, masqueraded as a nice guy.

But, I trust him nonetheless.

I have faith that this was him, and maybe with dating him, I'll learn even more good things about him.

Who knows?

"You really want to be with me?" I asked back, giving him a skeptical look.

"Of course," he laughed. "No, I try so hard for some girl I can't stand," he joked.

My eyes shifted over to where Laurent was sitting. "And you're okay with this?" I asked, leaning over to the right a little so Larry's shoulder wasn't in the way of me seeing Lau.

He shrugged, tapping the fingers of his left hand against the arm of the couch, "I don't think it smart," he said, looking between me and the back of Larry's head. "But...you make my brother happy."

I felt a surge of happiness run through my body. It was a good sign Larry had pre-approved our relationship.

"Okay," I said, looking back up to Larry. "Okay, but that doesn't mean we act any differently, alright? We still have to keep us on the down low," I said.

"Okay," he nodded, his smile growing. "Finally," he breathed, leaning down and wrapping his arms around me, pulling me into a tight hug.

I laughed, moving my arms atop his shoulders and stood on my toes. "Finally what?" I chuckled. "Finally you my girlfriend. I want you the second I meet you bby."

I couldn't help but explode in to laughter at his over the top romantic comment, "Stop lying."

"I do though," he whined, turning his head so he could push his face into the side of my neck, making me giggle at the feeling of his scruffy chin and upper lip tickling my skin.

"No you didn't, knock it off with the sappy stuff."

"Yeah, I gonna barf over here!" Lau piped in.

"Shutup," Larry shot over his shoulder, "And I did," he added, turning his head to look down at me, his arms still holding my body against his.

"Then you fall for girls too quickly," I said, laying my left hand against the back of his neck, sliding it up to his hair, playing with a dread.

"But I-" I cut him off with my mouth, pressing my lips to his. Half because he seriously needed to shut up, and half because I've kind of been missing his kisses.

They're just so sweet, even if sometimes they're short. I was unsure if it was because he put so much feeling into it, or if I was just simply hooked.

I let go of the single twist and pushed at the back of his head, making him kiss me back with more force. His mouth soon opened and his lips attacked mine.

A annoyed groan erupted from Laurent when his brothers hands moved to their favorite spot; my ass. "I support you brother, but not this much," he groaned.

"Shut up," Larry groaned loudly, pulling away from me to turn to his brother.

"You force me to watch you and Y/N constantly-" "-Hey! That different, Dick. Not my fault you-" "Hey!" I yelled over the both of them, getting their attention. Did I just hear what Larry said right?

"Who the crap is Y/N?" I questioned, my eyes falling to Laurent. I didn't know he was with anyone, I freaking kissed him that one time.

He fell quiet and smiled to himself. The way he did that must have annoyed Larry because he scoffed, rolling his eyes as he turned to me.

"Y/N that girl he was gushing about that one night when we come home late, remember? You were all mad and-" "-Yeah, I remember. Ew, Lau. You're running around with a girl from here?"

"Hey," he said warningly, raising his left hand and pointing at me. "She different. She not even from here."

"Where is she from?" I asked, my eyebrows coming together. I was genuinely interested in this now.
