Chapter 10 – Operation: Payback Is A Bitch

I walked into the living room with 2 large bowls of popcorn, while Abby brought in a tray filled with various sodas.

I cajoled Abby and Remy into have a movie night tonight and I asked them if they would mind if I invite Dylan to come join us. Surprisingly they were cool with it. 

Dylan and I voted to watch an animated comedy but Remy and Abby wanted to watch some new horror which recently came out. We decided to settle this like men by playing rock, paper scissors.  In the end we won when Dylan’s rock smashed Remy’s scissors.

Dylan and I settled on ‘The Croods’ much too Remy and Abby’s dismay and groans. But I didn’t care much since they put me through all that crap last night and earlier today. Oh, payback was going to be sweet!

Out of spite, Abby and Remy rushed for the sofa while Dylan and I made ourselves comfortable on the floor with several blankets. It was time to start Operation: Payback Is A Bitch!

We were looking at future movie trailers, waiting for the movie to start when I looked behind me at Abby.

“So, Abby, whatever happened to Chad or was his name Charlie? You know, the guy who you said was a good kisser?” I asked her innocently. I noticed Remy stiffen in his seat and his eyes got darker. I discretely squeezed Dylan hand which I was holding mine under the blanket on our lap.

Abby gave me a WTF look as her face heated up. She glanced at Remy before she looked at me again.

“Um, things ended a while ago,” she mumbled around a handful of popcorn. “I realized he was more attached to him mommy than to me.”

“He was one of those?” I asked, surprised by that piece of information. I never expected that from him. He always looked cool, calm and collected. A manly man if you know what I mean.

“Yeah, it wasn’t any love lost or anything,” she said as she continued to stuff her face. “He just had a great body.”

Remy actually glared at her.

I was right! I knew it!

The movie had begun and the Croods were being introduced by drawings on a cave wall. Dylan placed his arm around my shoulder and his eyes were glued to the TV as he ate popcorn. I glance at Remy and Abby and noticed that they had moved closer to each other on the sofa. My curiosity was killing me. I needed to know if Abby felt the same way about Remy.

Around half way through the movie, I couldn’t take it any longer. I paused the movie and everyone protested.

‘So much for you guys not wanting to watch The Croods,’ I thought as I rolled my eyes.

“What gives Payts,” Remy asked with a glare.

“I need to pee and I don’t intent to miss anything,” I told him as I got up and went to the bathroom.

“I’m going to make more popcorn,” I heard Abby say just before I closed the bathroom door.

‘Great,’ I thought. ‘This should give me enough time to question Remy.’

A couple seconds later I came back to the living room.

“I thought u wanted to pee?” Remy asked me as he raised an eyebrow.

“I did,” I told him. “I don’t have a tank like you guys, you know.”

I went and sat next to Dylan on the floor and he took my hand in his again as his other hand wrapped around my waist pulling me closer to him. A blush rose to my face since I wasn’t one hundred percent comfortable with Dylan holding me in front of Remy and Abby. And Remy didn’t make things any much easier since he would glare at Dylan arms around me from time to time.
