Cheryl and Tre: Goodbye Means Hello

Part 23

Cheryl and Tre remained snuggled up on the sofa for a while, watching a couple more films before being interrupted when Tori came bouncing into the room. It was then that they realized it was nearing the evening and that the sun was starting to go down as well; making them give each other a confused look as they couldn't believe they'd actually remained sat in the lounge all day watching films; now currently being in the middle of the film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

"You two look lazy as fuck." Tori giggled, plonking down onto the smaller sofa. 

"We have been; it's been a really chilled day." Tre chuckled, he and Cheryl still laying across the sofa together; Cheryl actually still paying attention to the film as it had completely drawn her in.

"Chez!" Tori said slightly louder. Cheryl jumped slightly before giggling, looking over at her.

"Hi babe; I'm sorry, I was watching this film - it's so good." she said before turning her attention back on the film. Tre shook his head and chuckled softly before turning back to his sister.

"Anyway, how was Atlantic City?" he asked.

"Fucking awesome; Marcus won me a stuffed toy so that was happy days, then we ate at the Rainforest Cafe - Rachel was working tonight and said she'd seen you two last night but she was waiting on other tables." Tori explained. Tre couldn't miss the way his sister's face lit up when she mentioned her friend Marcus, making him smile as he could see that she really was happy.

"Well I'm glad you had a good time.." he smirked before continuing, "When are you planning on bringing this Marcus guy by here so I can make sure he's a good enough for my little sister?"

"I was thinking about inviting him over for dinner tomorrow night; since Mom is off and it's you guys' last night here - what do you think?" Tori asked, pouting her lips. However, before Tre could answer, Cheryl spoke up.

"Invite him round; I need to make sure he's good for you too." she said, looking over at her briefly before looking back at the film. Tre and Tori both burst out laughing; Tre hugging his girlfriend in as she giggled.

"Yeah Tori; he has to pass the 'Is He Good Enough For Tori' test, created by me and Chez." he smirked, making Cheryl giggle again to herself. Tori simply shook her head in despair, a smirk on her face.

"Don't go scaring him off you two, please." she warned before wandering off out of the room, making Cheryl and Tre just start laughing together as they cuddled up even more, continuing to watch their film together like they'd pretty much been doing all afternoon...

Later on in the evening, Cheryl and Tre were making themselves a homemade pizza while Tori was upstairs, getting dressed to go meet up with Marcus. While the two were making their pizza, they heard the front door open and heard footsteps approaching the kitchen, making them both look up. Tre's brother, Shawn, had just come in.

"Ooh you're alive." Cheryl joked, making Tre burst out laughing while Shawn smirked, coming and sitting at the kitchen table.

"Tre, you could have left her where she was, man - damn, never had a girl give me this much lip." he joked, shaking his head in despair. Cheryl giggled away to herself before going over and giving him a high five, making him laugh as well.

"You know you secretly adore me; who else is gonna clown you on a more regular basis? You missed our bants Shawn; don't lie." she carried on joking with him as she walked backwards over to Tre. Shawn rolled his eyes before laughing; he couldn't deny it though - he had missed hanging out and having a laugh and banter with his brother's girlfriend.

"Yeah though it's not a total lie; I am glad you're back in the picture - I like that you're one of them girls that can joke on with the guys, it's funny. Plus, Tre ain't moping around like a lost soul anymore now that you're back so maybe it's not all bad having you around." he replied. Cheryl giggled and looked up at Tre, who pulled a face at his brother.

"I was not moping around looking lost, bruh; stop it." he said, shaking his head. Cheryl giggled and wrapped her arms around his waist, kissing his cheek lightly.

"Aw it's okay, babe; not gonna lie, I was moping around looking like a lost puppy as well - so it is a good thing I'm back with you. You keep me going." she grinned up at him. Tre chuckled softly before leaning down, softly kissing her lips. Shawn jokingly pretended to throw up, causing the couple to look over at him and start laughing, especially when he made an 'L' shape with his fingers and started calling them losers. However, it wasn't long before all their attention was caught by Tori, who had wandered into the kitchen. She was wearing pale blue long sleeved top and a pair of denim cut offs, teaming her look with a pair of black combat style boots, and styling her hair into a neat topknot. She kept her make up simple, and looked gorgeous nonetheless.

"Thoughts?" she asked, doing a twirl.

"I think you look gorgeous; if I wasn't madly in love with your brother, I'd have you in a heartbeat!" Cheryl commented in her quirky manner, making them all burst out laughing. Tori then wandered over and kissed her cheek, smiling. 

"Thanks darling." she winked.

"Tori, when you bringing this dude around to meet us?" Shawn asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Tomorrow big brother; I'm inviting him for dinner - so don't be in New York." she playfully warned. Shawn gave her a salute before giving her a fist bump, Tre giving her a fist bump as well.

"Call us if you need anything; me and Shawn aren't above fucking up some shit if you get into trouble." he warned. Tori gave them a salute before grabbing her bag and keys. She then wandered out, leading Tre and Shawn to exchange a glance.

"You know anything about this Marcus dude she hanging around with?" Shawn asked his older brother. Tre shook his head as he went back to helping Cheryl finish up making their pizza.

"I don't know shit about him, bro; but she said she'll have him around tomorrow to have dinner with us so he can't be all bad - plus, I refuse to believe he's any worse than that last jackass she was with; I swear to God I was about ready to kill him when she came home crying." he replied, sighing out. Shawn nodded in agreement as he took a swig from the bottle of soda he was drinking. He and Tre may have joked on a lot, but one thing was for certain - if anyone hurt their little sister, there would be Hell to pay. Cheryl for one loved how close they all were and how protective they were of each other, very much reminding her of her family as well as they were just the same.

"So anyway, can I have a bit of that pizza after it's all baked and stuff? I'm famished." Shawn went on to ask, half asking just to get a reaction out of Cheryl, and plus he really was hungry.

"I suggest you make yourself a sandwich, pet; you ain't getting a crumb of me and Tre's pizza." Cheryl jokingly replied, making Tre completely burst out laughing while Shawn threw a tea towel at her before standing up.

"Tre, take her back to wherever the fuck you got her from." he joked as he wandered out, as the couple carried on laughing away together; Cheryl for one really enjoying spending this time with Tre's family...
