Cooking comepetition

I woke up with the hangover from hell. I opened my eyes and looked around the room, 'how the f**k did I get home?'. I dragged myself out of bed only to find that I was still wearing my outfit from last night, I quickly got changed into some joggers and a top, took some paracetamol and made my way downstairs. As I walked down the stairs I could hear the faint sounds of someone singing coming from the kitchen. Curious to find out who it was I walked into the kitchen to find Alex singing to Hard time by Seinabo Sey and suddenly the memories from last night came flooding back to me. Alex and I dancing on the dance floor, Cassidy coming over, and then my decision to drown my sorrows in a bottle of tequila. I scanned the kitchen that looked like a bomb site and came to the conclusion that he was attempting to make breakfast. I watched from the doorway as he sang along and flipped a pancake effortlessly, before turning to around to see me watching him and dropped the pancake on the floor. I immediately started laughing, tears streaming down my face. He looked down at the squashed pancake on the floor and then back at me,
"Why would you do that? It was perfect!"
"Come on," I said taking the pan from his grasp " I'll show you how to make a real pancake" I said smiling to myself as I made my way to the stove, he pulled me round to face him and gasped,
"Are you telling me you're better at cooking than me?" He asked as he placed a hand over his heart, "because that really hurts my feeling Brooke"
"Yes" I said as he gasped again "but you could always try and prove me wrong" I said as I took another pan out of the cupboard and held it out to Alex,
"Challenge accepted."

After the best part of an hour we had finally come to the conclusion that my pancakes were better, even though Alex wasn't very happy about it and kept accusing me of cheating.
"How do you cheat at cooking a pancake?" I asked laughing,
"I don't know" he said throwing his hands up in the air "you tell me, you did it!" I rolled my eyes at this and began to put away the ingredients and tidy the kitchen. I felt something hit me on the back of the head, I turned around trying to figure out what it was only to see Alex placing things inside the dishwasher. I continued to put things away when I felt something hit me on the back of the head again, this time I turned to see Alex holding a packet of blueberries with a massive grin on his face. He suddenly took a handful and threw them at me laughing,
"Alex stop" I said "come help me" I said pointing the mess in the kitchen
"No" he said as the threw more blueberries at me "this is more fun" he said aiming a blueberry at my head, it bounced off my head and fell into my top.
"Alex, stop they're going down my top"
"Well" he said wiggling his eyebrows at me "I'd be more than happy to help you remove them"
"Right that's it" I said as I turned and picked up an egg and threw it at him. I had to stifle my laughter as I watched his expression change, shock evident on his face.
"That" he said while wiping the egg off of his shirt "you're going to pay for" he said as he backed me further and further into the kitchen, I started panicking seeing the mischief glimmering in his eyes,
"You-you started throwing stuff first" I stuttered backing away from him "we're even" I said more confidently as he reached behind me,
"Well you see Brooke" he whispered in my ear "in my eyes were not" he he said before smashing an egg down on my head. He backed away laughing at my shocked expression,
"Now we're even" he said in between laughs, furious I picked up the nearest bag of flour and tipped over his head and ran in the direction of the door,
"Oh Brooke" Alex said in a singsong voice and he came into view, I ducked as he threw the egg, expecting it to hit the door.
"Ugh, what he hell is that?" I heard a voice say, I looked at Alex to see him shaking with laughter and turned to see the who Alex had hit with the egg, as soon as I turned around I stared to laugh at the sight of Lucas frantically trying to wipe the egg off his leather jacket with Emmett and Dylan laughing behind him,
"A food fight, seriously guys? What are you four?" I looked over at Alex and immediately started laughing at his white head completely covered in flour and his egg stained shirt, Lucas looked up at me laughing at Alex and said,
"I wouldn't laugh if I were you, you look just as bad" immediately the smile dropped off of my face as I took on my appearance, egg smeared on my head and in my hair and blubbery stains all over my top and joggers, I stuck my tongue out at him and made my way towards the stairs
"I'm going to take a shower, make yourselves at home" I called over my shoulder as I walked up the stairs and shut my bedroom door behind me.

After having a much needed shower I walked back downstairs ready to tackle the mess that was the kitchen, I walked in to find Emmett and Dylan and Mason clearing the kitchen with Lucas and Alex in clean clothes loading the dishwasher. I let out a long whistle resulting in all the boys looking up at me,
"Wow, you boys really are domesticated"
"I think you'll find the word is gentlemen" Dylan said shooting me a dazzling smile, Emmett snorted and Dylan glared at him, hoping to avoid an argument I tried to distract them
"You guys want to watch a movie? I asked
"Yeah sure" they answered as they followed me into the living room. After a heated debate we finally settled on watching Fast and Furious, halfway through the film we all started to get a bit bored and Emmett suggested we played a game, I ran up into my room and came back down with the best game ever, Twister. The guys groaned in unison,
"Please, this is the Best. Game. Ever" I said looking at their blank facial expressions "come one guys, please!"
"Fine" Emmett said standing up "I'm in",  Dylan and Mason looked at each to her before signing loudly and standing up to join Emmett in setting up the game, I turned to look at Alex who had his arms folded over his chest.
"No" he said as I looked at him, "you're not getting me to play that" he said pointing at the mat,
"How much do you want to bet" I asked him my eyes twinkling with excitement as I smiled down at him evilly. Ten minutes later the guys and I were all in very compromising positions,
"Emmett" Lucas said trying to turn to talk to Emmett "get your face out of my butt"
"Hey" Emmett retaliated "how about you get your butt out of my face!"
"I can't, Mason will crush me" Lucas argued back,
"Watch it" Mason warned Lucas "I'm not even that heavy stop being such a drama queen" he said smugly
"Yeah Lucas" Dylan said smiling up at him "also if Mason is going to crush anyone its me!"
"Guys " Alex interrupted "For the love of God spin the bloody wheel." The whelk was spun again making us all adjust our body positions to avoid anyone crashing down, suddenly the doorbell rang,
"I'll get it" I said as I started to untangle myself from the guys,
"No,no, Brooke don't move!" They all shouted in unison before crashing down on each other one after, I groaned under the impact thankful that I was near the top of the pile and not at the bottom. The doorbell rang again, knowing I had left it unlocked I shouted out for them to come in, Bella, Ashe and Taylor walked in, took in our appearance and started laughing uncontrollably.
"Hey" someone spoke out making me jump "not that I don't find this situation very amusing, but I can't breathe, so could you all get off!" we all looked down to see Dylan at the bottom of the pile turning a quite alarming red colour, we quickly all got off of him and helped him up.
"Well" Lucas coughed "this has been a embarrassing and memorable experience" he said looking back at the Twister board "but I've really go to get going"
"Same" the guys said in chorus,
"See you tomorrow" I said as I walked them to the door
"Bye Stalker" they replied walking past me, I cringed and sighed
'Great that's catching on' I thought to myself as I shut the door behind them.
