Time Travel

Chapter 41

"Thank you, Angus I care for you too but I don't know why either." I replied, leaning into his side.

"So why did you run out of the house almost in tears?" Angus asked me.

I sighed, and quickly came up with a response that was mostly the truth. "It's just Gaylord isn't exactly happy with how things are going and she didn't want to travel to Australia in the first place, but Ivy and I kind of made her come with us. It's more than just that though but I can't tell you everything right now because it's complicated and half the time I have trouble understanding it."

"I understand wanting to stay with each other, but if she really doesn't want to be here wouldn't it be best to let her go so she could do what she wants?" Said Angus.

I look up at him and smile sadly, "If Ivy and I were to tell her that she can leave either one she'd make us go with her or two she would leave but we'd never see her again."

It was Angus' turn to sigh. "I guess things will just work out. Now how come there hasn't been an upset boyfriend storming through Australia trying to find you?" Angus says, looking down at me.

"Easy, I don't have one." I replied.

"I see, and is there anyone that you might fancy to be your boyfriend?" Asked Angus.

"Why does this remind me of a corny conversation that'd I'd see off of a movie, where the guy is asking the girl out in a cheesy way?" I ask him, holding in my laughter.

"I wasn't going to ask you out though." Angus said too quickly.

"Oh really?" I tease him. I didn't care if he was going to or not but it was fun to mess with him.

"Yes! What does it matter if I was trying to ask you?" He responded.

"Because I might've said yes." I tell him, jumping up from where I had been sitting and winked down at him. "But since you didn't ask, guess you'll never know." And with that said I ran towards the house.

I looked behind me before I ran around the corner and saw that Angus was running after me.

"You'll never catch me!" I shouted at him while laughing. I reached the front door and quickly opened it before I ran inside and shut the door, locking it as fast as I could.

"What are you doing?" A voice said behind me.

I jumped in fright and turned to see who had asked the question. "Oh Malcolm it's you! I thought maybe Angus got into the house another way." I said, walking to him and stopping when I stood close to him.

"I sound nothing like my brother! There isn't another way into this house unless you break a window. Why did you come in here in such a rush?" Malcolm asked me, his expression one of confusion.

"Angus and I were talking a-." Malcolm interrupted me before I could finish explaining.

"Enough said. Anything to do with Angus always leads to something ridiculous."

"Oh by the way do you know where Bon is?"

"Yeah. He's back in the living room, why?" Malcolm replied.

"I just wanted to chat with him about something." I told him, heading to the living room.

"Alright, I'm guessing Angus is locked outside?"

"Yep, do me a favor and don't let him in right away."

"Let him in? I'll just forget so I guess he's going to sleep out there tonight." Malcolm said laughing, before heading up the stairs.
