Thank you everyone for your comments on my last chapter! I'm going to do a combination of a few, don't worry, you'll love him. I decided to update today because I now have 25 FOLLOWERS! Some of my favorite authors have done things for 10,000 and such, but this is my equivalent, so thank you! ◕_◕
Chapter 5:
After about ten minutes, I had managed to kick Reed out of my house. I sat down at my stool again and continued to eat my cereal. Then my brother came down the stairs, he came a month or so before me, he's adopted, my parents thought that they couldn't have kids, so they began the adoption process, then my mom became pregnant with me, so he arrived, then I did. His name is Dylan.
"Did I hear a boy down here Melody?"
"Yes."
"Did that boy happen to be Reed Anderson?"
"Maybe."
"Are you two a thing now?"
"Oh God no!"
"Good."
"Why's that?"
"Because.... I called dibs. Dibs is a very official term, it's even used be the government, what do it think territories are?"
Did I forget to mention that he's gay? I guess I just didn't think it was important.
"First of all, that's not how territories work, secondly, he's not gay."
"How do you know?"
"He's had three girlfriends, and zero boyfriends."
"How do you know that?"
"I just do, idiot."
"You like him."
"No I don't."
"If you didn't, you would have not cared, but no, you insisted that he was available to you. And right now you're blushing."
"I do not like him."
"Then why did I hear that you two were dating?"
"Shut up."
"Feisty aren't we."
"God you're annoying."
"Reed and Melody sittin in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" A blush crept up onto my cheeks.
"Aww, she's blushing."
"No I'm not."
"Yes, and I'm the spaghetti monster."
"Yes you are, glad we're agreed." His lips formed a thin line.
"You know what I meant."
"Do I?"
"Melody St. James!" Full name. Ohh scary.
"That's my name."
"You're so aggravating."
"Thank you."
"I say we play a game."
"What game?"
"Pin the tail on the donkey."
"What are you, Seven?"
"Just play Melody."
"Fine."
I put the blindfold on him and turned him around several times. We still had the donkey up from his last birthday, which was a month ago. He started to walk around the room in all directions. At one point, he stopped almost directly across from the poster and put his hand on the wall. He started walking with his hand on the wall to guide him. He finally made it to the poster, the wrong side of it. He stood there looking at it, trying to figure out where to put the tail. He finally put it on one of the legs.
Dylan ripped off the blindfold and frowned. "Well, I was close."
"Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenadines."
"NCIS quote, really?"
"Yup." I smiled at him. Now it was my turn, I had to win this. He put the blindfold on my head, then started spinning me. I lost track of how many times after five. So I started to stagger around the room. I walked forward until I felt a change in texture under my feet, I was either near it, or on the kitchen. I walked towards the wall and felt a piece of paper, jackpot! I felt around for a second and stuck the tail on. I threw off the blindfold. For a second I was really excited about it, then I found out that I indeed was in the kitchen and this was a recipe for lemon meringue pie. Then I heard Dylan laughing.
"I thought.... that I.... was gonna... lose." He managed to get out between laughs.
"Shut up."
"So I won."
"I guess."
"So now you have to..."
"I don't wan-"
"Just admit it."
"Ok fine, I, Melody St. James, do not have a crush on Reed."
"Oh yeah, you don't have a crush."
"Thank you."
"You're head over heels in love with Reed."
The worst part is: that, well, he might just be right.
