Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater

Chapter 9

Hux wandered into the back room where Amethyst and Rey were sitting, both of them tired and completely done with people.

"So I take it you're both still hiding away from Alistair and Kylo?" Hux asked the girls.

"Well we can't get drunk so what's the point of being at a party. Kylo is a pain in the ass and I want to stab him. And to top it all we're both very tired." Rey said to Hux.

"Well Alistair is talking to everyone because he likes talking to people and balloons. And the mistletoe. He won't' shut up about it. Actually I'm pleased I thought it was a nice touch."

"Do you want to hang out with us rejects." Rey asked.

"Yeah. Yeah that'd be nice." Hux said and sat with the girls. "Can I get you two something to eat?"

They both shook their head.

"It's nice. This is the first time I've spoken to people that aren't students. Well you were students but... not anymore."

"You don't need to be lonely Hux. Come stay with us. You're practically family." Amethyst said.

"Yeah." Rey smiled. "Stay with us. The house is big enough. So is the garden. I'm sure you'll be welcome."

"Yeah and if your mattress isn't comfortable... you can sleep with Rey. It's allowed."

"We know how well that ended up." Hux said and cleared his throat.

"I don't remember us doing any sleeping." Rey said.

"Stop it!" Amethyst said.

"Sorry Hux." Rey apologised.

"It's alright. She's a matter of fact person. I've always admired it about her."

"When am I getting my cake? Before or after you two stop flirting?" Alistair asked and grinned. "You do realise that's my women you're looking at longingly."

"Both of them?"

"Yes." Alistair said. "And the only two who haven't caught me under the mistletoe tonight."

"Not in the mood." Rey pouted.

"Neither am I." Amethyst said.

"I'll kiss you." Hux said.

"I'd love to kiss you Michael but Kylo is upset about me and Amethyst getting it on as it is without kissing you."

"That's true." Amethyst contributed.

"Come on its my birthday party! Smile guys." Alistair said.

"You're doing enough smiling for us all Alligator." Amethyst said.

"Rey. Would you cheer up if I let you murder Kylo? We can say we mistook him for a piñata." Alistair said.

Rey started laughing and it only stopped when she started sobbing.

"She's had a long day." Amethyst said.

"Rey is your anxiety playing up? Is it the classes you're taking?"

"What classes?" Hux asked.

"To stop her being a control freak!," Alistair said.

"Get out! The both of you! Before I strangle you both." Rey ordered. "Alistair go enjoy your party! Now!"

"Yes ma'am!" He said and walked out, Hux getting up and following him.

"Remind me why we can't drink booze?" Rey asked.

Amethyst laughed and patted her friend's shoulder. "There is many reasons why. One of them is I don't drink. Another is you shouldn't because of you know what"

"That's a great idea. If it's a boy I can call it Voldemort."

"That would make it you know who."

"Shut up." Rey uttered and put her face in her fist and leaned her elbow on the table. "I got a reference wrong."

"It's okay. You can't be perfect everyday."

Rey groaned again. "Why did we both have to get pregnant?"

"Because we're stupid and don't like sleep."

"Oh god I'll never sleep again!" Rey said.

"When did you ever actually sleep though?" Amethyst asked.

"Are you giving me face?"

"I don't know maybe." Amethyst replied.

"Why are you only sick sometimes with this? I think I got the short straw!"

"Maybe because I don't eat as much as you to be sick!" Amethyst replied and Rey's eyes widened.

"Are you say I'm a pig?"

"No. I'm saying you eat like one." Amethyst replied.

"I don't have to sit here and take this." Rey said and stood up, storming out. Amethyst went after her.

"You started this!"

"I didn't start anything!"

"You're one grumpy shit!" Amethyst replied.

"Hey girls. Joined the party?" Alistair asked them. "Oh look Amethyst we're under mistletoe."

"Shut up Alistair! Can't you see we're busy having a fight."

"You know what don't tell him to shut up because you're grumpy!" Amethyst responded.

Rey looked at Amethyst and her mouth widened, agape.

"You heard me. Back off from your husband! He's a prince!"

"Well I suppose you think that what with you marrying Kylo Ren. The world's biggest douchebag!"

"Ummm..." began Alistiar but Amethyst kissed him, right there in front of everyone before pulling away.

"You keep up your attitude. Then someone else will do that." Amethyst said. "Someone that isn't me!"

"Why did you both use tongue?" Rey asked.

"Amethyst!" yelled Kylo and ran up to her. People were staring.

"This is the best birthday party ever." Alistair said and looked at Rey. "Can you get me another cocktail my darling?"

Rey started to feel ill suddenly. An anxiety attack coming on. She pushed past Alistair and left.

"You're going home. I'm putting my foot down." Kylo said.

"Having a temper tantrum more like." Amethyst replied and folded her arms. "Stopping act like a child."

"You just kissed another man in front of my friends." Kyo said.

"Friends? You don't have any friends because you're a douchebag. And Hux doesn't count he's a boyfriend. Alistair doesn't count because he's your sort of Husband in law." Amethyst responded.

"You kissed another man in front of people I know! With tongue!"

"It was a demonstration she had to go pretty far." Alistair defended her. "I appreciated the gesture. It's mistletoe Kylo. I was going to kiss you earlier but you were being a bit... well crappy."

"You shut your mouth!" Kylo said and hit him, knocking him on the ground.

"Kylo!" growled Amethyst. "If Rey founds out you hit Alistair she'll chop you into pieces."

"I'm okay." Alistair said. "Rey's hit me harder. Thanks for missing my nose and teeth. Please don't have a crush on me though. Even though you're my husband in law."

"We're leaving! Now!" Amethyst responded and started dragging Kylo out of the party hall.

"Amethyst let me finish what I've started" Kylo went to go back inside but Amethyst grabbed his arm.

"Kylo. You wanted to leave. Now we're gone. Let's go home" she was angry still
