We both stood in the bath, he looked me in the eyes and smirked, his green eyes sparkled with excitement,
"You sure?" He asked
"Yep" I replied, nodding my head in confirmation. He took a step towards me and picked me up by the waist and lifted me up to the window, it could only be opened a little bit, but he thought I could fit through. I hoped I would fit, otherwise it will be extremely embarrassing to explain.
Butterflies fluttered inside my stomach and they only increased when my shirt rode up and his hands grazed my bare skin, seeming to light fire. I pointed my feet and they went through the gap, then my thighs, my stomach. His hands slipped to underneath my arms, good lord I hope I'm not sweating, cringe.
"Are you ready for me to drop you?" He asked, his voice slightly raspy
"Yep" I said, a little confused as to why his voice sounded weird, but I didn't ask.
I landed my feet on the grass, thankful that we were in the bathroom downstairs, rather than the upstairs bathroom. I was round the side of the house, in-between my house and our neighbours. We had only a few windows around this side of the house, but I still crawled under them, so that there was no chance of Alex seeing me. The evening sun cast a long shadow onto the green grass as I dashed to the front porch and went round the other side of the house.
Bingo.
I grabbed the hose and rung our doorbell. Alex appeared looking confused and then saw me, I glared at him and his face turned into that of terror. I smirked and turned the hose on whilst he screamed.
He ran upstairs, just as I thought he would. I dashed to the bathroom and pulled the chair from blocking it. I opened the door and me and Jacob high-fived.
"You recorded it?" I asked
"Still recording" He smirked
"Cool" I said
We went upstairs, me still with the hose and I knocked on his room door,
"You ain't coming in" Alex said, his voice a little higher than usual
"Honey, I'm sorry, I call truce. I got revenge, nothing else I promise" I said in a sweet voice
"Jacob is she telling the truth?" Alex said unsure
"Yes, come out now" Jacob said groaning, but he cast a look at me and we shared an even smile.
We heard him moving something from the door and he opened it a crack, I already had the hose behind my back, there was no chance he would see it. He opened it fully and I quickly got the hose and squirted him right in his smug little face. He screamed and ran into his room, forgetting to close the door.
I laughed and Jacob went in, still filming the whole thing.
"Say hello to the camera!" Jacob said laughing, his eyes crinkling and his dimples making an appearance.
I heard Alex mumble something and I was about to go in when the hose wouldn't go any further, I sighed and ran back downstairs returning the hose. I then went back upstairs and found Alex and Jacob doing some bro handshake thing. See they've made up then.
I entered and Alex said;
"You"
"Me" I said in a similar tone
"And we're family" He said feigning hurt and placing a hand over his heart
I slapped his hand away and laughed, he then put me in a headlock and rubbed his knuckles on my forehead.
"Get off me" I said my voice muffled
He let go and held out his hand;
"Even" He said
I pretended to spit on my hand and we shook.
"Now delete the video" He said to both me and Jacob
"Not a chance" Jacob said smiling
"This baby is ours to blackmail" I say afterwards
"Ugh shit!" Alex says, but a smile lingers on his face
We hear the door open and close then my Mum's voice calls out "I'm home!"
"We're upstairs" I shout back glancing at Jacob as he runs a tanned hand through his dark hair.
"I should probably get going, I'm expected home for dinner" He smiles at me then we all pile out of Alex's room and downstairs. Alex opens the front door, the sun tinting his hair to look a golden colour, he then shuts the door after we bid our goodbye's and his hair returns to a light blonde.
"Your a little menace you are" He says shaking his head in amusement
"So what did you guys get up to?" My Mum asks, her bob cut bouncing as she lightly laughs
"Nothing" We both say together, far to quickly for her to believe us
"Hmmm okay sure..." She says squinting at us then laughing, her eyes crinkling, "So what movie should we watch?" She ponders after sobering up
"We could have a look at the shelf?" Alex suggests
We all stare at 'the shelf' for about a minute. I have no ideas, nil, nada. And clearly neither does Alex or Mum. I decide to voice what we are all thinking "We have no ideas...do we?"
"Well" Alex starts "No" He continues hanging his head in shame, I ruffle his blonde hair playfully and he shoots me a glare.
"We could just order takeaway and have a games night?" My Mum suggests hopefully
I glance at Alex and then we both nod enthusiastically, games night here we come!
