Unwanted Cupcakes

Chapter Twenty One

Sometime after the whole reminiscing of our grandad, Flynn turned on the small TV that was situated on top of a small coffee table in front of the couches. We sat in silence watching a random film until eventually I fell asleep.

Now awake, the - very loud - voices of Alisha, Flynn and Lexis prevent me from going back to sleep. Groaning dramatically, I pull the covers I didn't fall asleep wearing over my head, trying but failing to block out the noise.

"She's awake!" Alisha announces.

"Leave her," Lexis says, shushing her. "Obviously she wants to sleep some more."

Alisha groans, shaking me. "Get up you lazy ass!"

"Alisha," I whine from underneath the blanket, my voice coming out slightly muffled. "Leave me alone."

Next thing I know, the covers are being pulled off of me and I'm being yanked up by a girl with a death wish. Seriously, if I wasn't so disorientated from having just woken up, I would've killed her.

"You're awake so get up, I'm bored and those two are boring," she says, flicking her hand in the direction of Flynn and Lexis.

"Excuse you," Flynn gasps out, placing a hand over his heart in mock hurt. "I'm offended, but it was actually you that was the boring one."

"Gonna have to agree with Flynn on this," Lexis adds in. "You would not stop talking about that Barry thing."

"How many damn times to I have to tell you, it's Larry," Alisha growls. "Larry. L-a-r-r-y!"

"And how many times do I have to tell you that I don't care?"

Alisha turns to argue to with him and deciding I'm not really up for listening to them go at first thing in the morning, I get up and walk to my room.

I'd left clothes in the cabin for the times when I'd stay over-- which was practically always-- so I picked out some clothes and went into the small bathroom.

I take a quick shower, get dressed and go back to find the three sprawled out across the sofas, the TV playing quietly in the background.

"I'm hungry," I announce, causing Lexis' head to shoot my way.

"Where did you go?" He enquires.

"To hell. Again, I'm hungry."

"Same," Flynn and Alisha add.

We all turn to Lexis and he sighs, getting up. "On it, but you're coming with me," he says pointing at me.

"Me? Why me? Take Ali," I argue, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Uh, no, don't take Ali. Ali is watching something," Alisha says, eyes glued to the TV.

"Faye, just go. Lexis always comes back with the nastiest stuff. Last time he turned up with raisin cookies," Flynn says, scrunching his nose in disgust.

"In my defence, they looked like chocolate ones," Lexis argues.

I roll my eyes, putting my coat on. "Fine, fine, whatever."

"Come on then, Cupcake, let's go," Lexis says, smiling when I glare at him and walk out of the door to his car.

"Don't call me Cupcake, you deflated bicycle tire."

...

"I say we just get them bread," Lexis says, pushing the unneeded shopping cart forward. He'd argued about us taking it saying it was useless seeing as we were only here to get a few things but eventually let up and agreed after I'd pleaded.

I shake my head from inside the cart. "No, that's mean."

"Well, mean is what I am."

"No, a human is what you are." Lexis rolls his eyes and leads us to the liquor aisle. "Why are we here? We don't need anything from this aisle."

"I beg to differ," he says, picking up two packs of eight beers. "I plan on getting shit drunk today. Haven't done that in a while."

"How long is a while?" I ask, taking the bottles from him and placing it beside me.

"Since I met you."

I nod my head and decide against asking why. He pushes the cart along the other aisles, me stopping him at times to add in things I'm certain we'll never eat. Oh, and of course, can't forget my Toblerone.

...

"You're gonna have to get out of the cart now, you know," Lexis says once he's payed for everything and he's putting all the bags into the boot of the car.

"But I really don't want to," I whine.

Lexis shuts the boot and rolls his eyes. "Out you get."

"No."

"Faye, get out now or else."

"No."

Lexis sighs and leans forward. "I did warn you."

Before I can react, Lexis reaches out and picks me up, me laughing and holding on to the metal bar of the cart with all my might. "Lexis put me down!"

He laughs, shaking his head, now holding me bridal style, my hands still latched on to the bar. "Stop being immature and let go of the cart."

I pout but do as he says. "Now will you put me down?"

"No," he smiles goofily. "I quite like you in my arms."

"Wow," an unknown voice giggles out from behind. Lexis turns us around to see a cute little girl looking up at us in amazement. She seems to be no older than six. "Your boyfriend is so strong!"

"He's not my b-" I start, but get cut off by Lexis.

"Thanks cutie, but I'm not that strong. My girlfriend here just happens to be very light," he laughs, looking down at me with sparkling eyes when he emphasises on the word 'girlfriend'.

"Reyna!" A woman calls out and the little girl turns to her, smiling.

"I'm here, mummy!" She says, waving her hands.

"Reyna, babe, don't run off like that!" The woman, Reyna's mum, says.

"Sorry, mummy," Reyna giggles. "But look at this pretty girl and her strong boyfriend!"

"I see them, babe," the mum says, smiling down at her. "Sorry for bothering you," she apologies to us, taking Reyna's hand.

"Oh, it was no bother, really," Lexis smiles.

The woman smiles back and walks away, Reyna turning around to wave bye to us. Me still being in Lexis' arms, I wave bye back.

"Okay, boyfriend, will you put me down now?" I ask once they're gone.

"Sure thing, girlfriend."

A/N

Did that just happen? DID THAT JUST FUCKING HAPPEN?? Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap.

I can't believe that just happened.

Anywho, thoughts on this chapter? Thoughts on the boyfriend and girlfriend? I'd love it (and you) if you'd leave a comment and tell me what you thought!

'Till next time my little poop nuggets,
