Lost and Found ❁ Malia Tate [2]

19;

"Take notes."

"Shit, Lia." Carter groaned, rubbing her forehead and picking up her girlfriend's phone. "That hurt."

"Look how cute they are." Malia pointed at the screen, showing Aria's tweet. "Why don't we take cute pictures like that?"

"Because you don't hold still." She laughed, tossing the phone in Malia's lap before rolling out of bed and landing on the floor.

"Did you die?" Stiles's voice came from down the hall, yelling over the sound of his videogame.

"Unfortunately, no!" She yelled back, pushing herself off the ground and rubbing her elbow. "I'm taking a shower, and then we'll go get taco bell or something, alright?"

"Mmhmm." Malia just hummed in response, the girl already spamming Aria with Scaria messages.

A few minutes later Carter's phone started to ring, making her sit up. She could already hear the shower running and Carter humming to herself, so she answered it.

"Hello?"

"You're not Carter bear."

"Hey, Deborah." Malia chuckled, leaning against Carter's bedframe. "It's Malia."

"Who is it?"

"It's Carter's girlfriend, you old coot." She smiled at the sound of the old couple bickering, definitely missing the Bradbury Grandparents. "Malia, darling. Can you do me a favor?"

"Of course."

"Don't tell Carter, but we're planning on coming down and-"

"Did you tell her about the surprise?"

"Dammit, Frank! Shut it!" Deborah let out a long annoyed sigh before turning her attention back to her. "Since it's Carter's birthday on Tuesday-"

"It's her birthday?" Malia straightedge at this, glancing back at the closed door. "I had no idea."

"We're about to leave for the airport, but we should be there tomorrow at around-"

"Did you tell her nine o'clock?"

"Frank!"

"Nutty old bat."

"Yeah, I can pick you guys up." Malia confirmed, looking up at she heard the shower shut off. "I gotta go, Carter's finished."

"Alright hun. Bye." Carter's grandma hung up and Malia tossed the phone of the end of the bed just as Carter walked in, wrapped in a towel.

"What?" Carter asked, raising an eyebrow as she grabbed her hair dryer. Malia just smiled, shaking her head.

"Nothing."
