Love Will Find a Way

Love Will Find a Way (5)

Chapter 5

Brent's P.O.V.

"I am so not eating this food anymore!" Ethan said, pushing his plate away from him, clearly disgusted.

"Do you ever want me to cook for you again? Then suck it up and eat it!" Natalie said back.

"No way! I don't want to taste your spit or let alone Brent's! That's just disgusting!"

Natalie turned to Alex and said, "Why did you have to open your mouth?"

"I'm so glad you did, bro! Otherwise I would've gotten the disease my sister had that makes her so hideous!"

"Still believe in cooties, Ethan?" Natalie cooed.

"That's not cooties! It's..."

"Feel free to carry on." Natalie said humorously.

"Oh it doesn't matter! All I know is, I'm not eating this!"

I heard Natalie mutter something like, "Yeah we all know that that is the only thing you know!"

I chuckled to myself. It was so funny watching them bicker. Just like any brother and sister should do. That's just what they are made for. I wish I had one.

Ethan got up and left while the rest of us ate. "This is so delicious, Natalie!" I said truly grateful. Then I added playfully, "Especially the taste of your saliva."

The next thing I knew, food was spewed across the table. Natalie glared at me while trying to clean of ABC (already been chewed) food off of her shirt.

"I was joking guys!"

"Well, it wasn't funny! Natalie said, stomping into the kitchen. She came back with wet paper towels. She cleaned all of it up without even sparing me a glance. The other guys faked barfed and retreated into the same room  Ethan did. I walked into the kitchen with my plate in order to find Natalie washing dishes. She was scrubbing the dishes so hard that I thought she might break it in half.

"Hey sorry about that." I said, putting my plate on the counter next to the sink. She grabbed it and starting cleaning it. Man, this girl was fast at dishes!

She whirled around. "No you're not! This was one of the rare times I ever cook and now it was wasted! All because of you!" She didn't yell that, she just raised her voice a little.

"I'm sorry! I honestly didn't mean to have this happen." She was still glaring at me so I added. "I can always make it up to you later." She scoffed and brushed past me. I couldn't help but feel electricity shoot through my body when she touched it.

I followed her into the room where everyone else was.

Alex said, "If we are going to stay here for a couple of more days, I'm gonna need my stuff, so can we go pick some up?" He mainly asked Ethan.

"Yeah we need some stuff. Come on guys, let's go." Ethan said.

"I think I'm gonna stay here. You guys can just bring what I need." I said to them quickly before they left.

Ethan rolled his eyes. "Alright but... try not to make out with my sister too much." He winked at Natalie who was glaring at him.

They left and immediately after the door closed I said to her, "It's about time we had the house to ourselves." I smirked. She was about to open her mouth to say something but I smashed my lips against hers before she could protest.

Natalie's P.O.V.

I was about to tell him that he was a selfish jerk (even though I was actually joking) but then he interrupted me with a kiss that completely melted my insides. It also made forget about what I was going to sya entirely. I never would have thought he had this effect on me. The next thing I knew, he had grabbed the back of my knees and pulled me onto his waist. We hit a couple of walls and maybe knocked stuff off the walls but I was completely oblivious. But then I heard the doorbell ring. 

I pulled away from his lips and he started kissing my neck. "Maybe we should get the door. Maybe the guys forgot something." I said after the fourth ring.

"If they needed something, they would just come in. We never locked the door." 

"Oh yeah." I was about to kiss him again, when the door opened. I expected there to be Ethan or Alex or Jackson standing in the doorway. But since when has my life ever been predictable. There in the doorway, with a hand full of roses, was.... Rick.

Why me?

I quickly jumped off of Brent and pulled my shirt down, which had risen a little bit. "Uh.. Rick... what are you doing here?" I asked uncomfortable.

"What is he doing here? I knew you were cheating on me!" Rick yelled.

"No I actually just started my relationship with him today! Because like I said, I would stay true to you if I said I was!" I yelled right back. I can't believe him!

"Well you're doing it right now!"

"What are you talking about?" I was so confused.

"Well, it's pretty obvious you guys were kissing. And you are my girlfriend so that technically makes you-"

"Whoa whoa whoa! I am so not your girlfriend anymore! I ended it right when you accused me of cheating on you!" I yelled in his face. Man this guy was a phsyco! I have no idea what I saw in him!

"Oh please, you know you love me and you made a huge mistake by saying no to my offer so I'm giving you another chance."

"Give me another chance? I was the one who left you!" I was completely hysterical now. "Get out of my house before I call the cops!" He was now in the foyer of my house and getting closer to me.

"Hey man! She said back off! Now get out of here!" Brent yelled at him, backing me up.

"I don't listen to pu*sy's!" Rick yelled back.

That's when Brent punched him straight in the jaw. I would normally have freaked out but Rick totally deserved it. But then Brent wouldn't stop. I stepped between him and Rick which immediately made them stop. Then I said to Rick in the calmest voice I could make, "Please, Rick. I don't love you;. I never have and I'm pretty sure I never will. Can you please move on? I'm sure you will find someone better."

"I'll show you, bi*ch!" He screamed then slammed the door behind him. I heard screeching tires, and after that, only silence.

"I hate that guy. I have no idea what you ever saw in him." Brent said quietly to me.

"Me neither." I answered honestly. We stood there for what seemed like hours. I stared at the floor while I felt his intense gaze on me.

"Why do we always have to be interrupted?" Brent asked, washing all seriousness away.

"Oh yeah, it's probably just my usual bad luck." I said shrugging.

"About that... Why do you-"

We were interrupted, yet again, by the guys waltzing into the house like they owned the place.

They stopped in their positions and took a look around the room. Probably looking at the picture frames that were now lying on the floor and just the other stuff that was knocked over from our intense make out session.

"What happened here?" Ethan asked, his eyebrow raised.

"Rick stopped by." I said, even though that wasn't the reason the things were misplaced.

"What happened?" They all asked, clearly interested. So I told them the whole story but made sure to leave the kissing part out.

Why is my life so screwed up?
