Little Stretch

The Cheat

"You did what?"

"I may or may not have told Gray and L.E. about stitching. You're not going to kill them right?"

"No. You should at least had told us though.", said my mom piercing me with her eyes.

"I don't like that Grayson.", my dad said shaking his head.

"Babe, you've not liked Grayson since the fourth grade.", said my mom. I realized that I would complain about how I hated Audrey almost every day. One day in fourth grade Grayson told me he had a crush on Audrey. I was mad because I hated her. And when I told my dad I hated Audrey and I was mad at Grayson for liking her, he hated him for life.

"Do you like Grayson?", asked my dad.

"Yeah he's my best friend....wait you mean like him like him?", I asked, getting really mad.

"Yeah.", my dad said quietly.

"Ugh! For the umpteenth time; I have a boyfriend.", I said as I whipped myself around.

"Oh yeah, Lincoln. Wait did you tell Linc about stitching.", asked mom irritated.

"No mom I'll tell him when we're married." I yelled as I went upstairs.

"That won't be any time soon!", my dad yelled.

I closed the door behind me and started texting London:

Me: Hey

Lo: Hey. You okay? You don't really greet in that little of vocabulary.

Me: No it's just; my parents are always thinking I like Grayson. My mom hates Linc so I think she wants me to like Grayson. And my dad favors Linc more than he ever will Grayson.

Lo: Awww the old Ro is back. Lots and lots of words.

Me: 😂

Lo: Oh, are you getting Lincoln his gift tomorrow.

Me: Yes. But I'm still not going to tell you!

Lo: C'mon why not.

Me: Just because. I gotta go but I'll talk to you later okay?

Lo: Okay, bye.

Me: ✌️

Tomorrow is me and Lincoln's 14th month anniversary. I got him a really cool present, but London and Grayson keep bugging me about it to tell them. I swear; I know they're my best friends and all, but damn they can be so annoying. I look at the clock and it's 12:25. All night I was playing Color Switch and checking my Twitter feed. I didn't really have to go, I just wanted to avoid talking to London about Linc's present. As I looked at the top of my phone I got a message from Linc:

Linc: Happy Anniversary Baby Girl💕

Me: Happy Anniversary Captain⚓️

Linc: Can you give me my present?

Me: Um, last time I checked it's 12:30 in the morning. Besides I don't feel like walking to your house.
