I just know..!

Chapter 17

Steve, Blake, Brandon,Al and I moved out of Al's house , not before a thousand precautions from Alice. She hugged me twice before leaving and told me that me she would there when ever I needed her.
What should I thank god for, a friend who has an amazing mom? Or the mother who gave me an amazing friend?

"Steve and I will come back in another hour?" Blake announced while I was getting into my car.
"Why?" I questioned. It was surprising that my extra curious couple, Branny and Al didn't have any questions on this?
"I'll tell you later sweetheart! Get in Blake!" Steve ended and drove off along with Blake. I stared at Brandon who turned his face away and got into the car silently.

I was pissed, like real bad! If they didn't want to tell me,why did they have to bring it up when I was around in the first place. Why couldn't they just shut those huge holes in their faces??

1. Blake proposed me out of the blue.. After all that I've been through because of him, he expects me to say 'yes' !
2. My second best friend thinks I have a crush on my first best friend!
3. They have a common secret... And I'm not included in it!

I'm not exaggerating... Okay..
Maybe I am...! No..I'm not!

------------------------

"Sweetheart!" Steve knocked on my door.
"I'm alive! Now leave!" I yelled.
"Someone's angry!" He sang.
"Maybe Blake is! Why don't you go spend some quality time with him?" I yelled. Where did that come from?
"Last time I checked I wasn't gay!" He said and
laughed out and I smiled unknowingly.. How can anyone be angry with this man? I opened the door and there he was standing as beau...handsome as ever in a blue shirt with one kitten on his shoulder and other one running around his feet!

"They are so cute..!" I took the one on his shoulder.
"You went out for these in the morning..?" I asked hoping for a 'yes'.
"Not completely!" He said not making any eye contact.

We kept playing with the kittens as they ran all over my room. He started coming up with typical names and we finally settled with 'Taylor' and 'Tyler'.
We planned on buying collars with their names on them.
Blake came up as soon as he finished his soccer practice. Brandon and Al came up after their long evening walk.

While we were all playing with Taylor and Tyler, "My party..we are all getting drunk tonight!" Steve announced. He remembered that I wanted to get drunk..that adorable antelope.

"Blazey won't!!" Al said and started laughing. And I thanked God for giving her to me just yesterday!! How ironic?
"What's the problem?" Steve asked confused and I just hoped that Al wouldn't tell about my drunken incidents.

"She almost married a bar-tender once.!" Al laughed.
"She jumped into her bath tub saying it was the Pacific Ocean!" Brandon laughed.
"She kissed a flower pot saying it was long lost child!" Blake added. Steve was red with laughter while I was in a much brighter shade of red with embarrassment.
"She gave away ten thousand bucks to a bar-tender in New York!" It was Steve's turn! Thanks Steve! You were of great help!
"Are we going or no?" I crossed my arms impatiently.
"Of course! We are sweetheart!" He came closer and hugged. Trust me when I say this 'It was like sitting on a rock chair beside a fireplace with cappuccino in one hand and P.S I Love You in the other!' If a normal minute hug could make so happy, what would a real hug feel like?

As soon as he moved away, I figured that Al was staring at me.
"What?" I mouthed. She smiled as if she got know my treasured secret.

Within a minute, we were all out, Brandon and Al went separately while I was stuck in the backseat of Steve's new car. They spoke about comic books, characters in those books. They spoke about the places they've been. I somehow knew they would mingle eventually.
