Dude's A Lady?

Chapter Nineteen

"I can't believe security threw us out. Who the hell does that? It's the fucking holidays!" I grumbled picking my luggage out of the rental car.

"Well you did say bomb on the plane." Ty shrugged.

"All I said was that lady's coach bag was the bomb. I didn't know people were going to go ape shit!" I huffed dragging my luggage towards the house Sawyer called home. "A ten hour drive could have been a two hour flight if they let us stay."

"You called the flight attendant walking boobs with no brians,Vivo. Then you said if you did have a bomb you would most definitely not say it out loud." Ty raised his eyebrow still not siding with me. Some friend he was....

"I apologized though!" I argued.

"Right after you said you had enough weapons in your luggage to take out the flight attendant." He pointed out.

"She was being rude after I tried to explain myself." I said calmly. There was no use in fighting with Ty now. The day was over with and we had finally arrived in Illyria.

"Well now you're on the 'no fly list'. Congrats for accomplishing that before you hit eighteen." he chuckled taking part of my luggage after he saw me struggling.

"It was a long life dream of mine." I replied sarcastically. I hesitated at the front door. I was here, technically unannounced. Should I knock or just walk in?

"Open the door Vivo, you're home." Ty coaxed me softly.

Home, there goes that foreign word again. What was home now? Illyria surely didn't feel like it....

Maybe I should knock. I hadn't been here in nearly four months. Raising my hand to knock, I realized how ridiculous I looked.

Finally with enough courage, I opened the door. But maybe I should I have knocked....

"King, what the hell is my sister doing here!" Ty growled when we both caught Sawyer and Sophia making out on the couch. I hid behind the wall between the entrance and living room. My nerves didn't allow me to outright look at Sawyer.

The two culprits sprung back surprised. Sawyer's eyes widened in shock as he gestured to Sophia and him like an idiot. His mouth kept opening and closing like a fish out of water.

"N-nothing!" he stammered nervously. Sophia all the while kept her cool demeanor and smiled amused. Then her eyes snapped to her brother in realization.

"What are you doing here anyway?" she snapped suddenly irritated.

Now it was Ty's turn to stammer. "I-I uh....well you see....it's kinda a long story-"

Shaking my head, I stepped from behind the wall. Sawyer's jaw dropped and I looked past him to Sophia.

"Hey!" I waved at her awkwardly. It had been months since I last seen her and she looked just as beautiful as she had when I first met her. "Um, I ran into your brother in Boston. He convinced me to come home for thanksgiving." I said lamely.

"Ran into my brother in a big city like Boston?" she asked skeptically. I really wished she was dumb. I nodded hoping she'd buy it.

Sawyer remained silent as he watched me. I didn't meet his gaze, I couldn't bring myself to do it. My trip to Illyria wasn't for him, it was for Ty. He needed my help and Sawyer could suck it for all I care.

"Well I should go unpack. It was a long drive here." I sighed tiredly. Sawyer frowned and looked between Ty and I.

"You two drove here? That's a days drive." Sawyer said.
