I'm In Love With The Bad Boy

CHAPTER[9] HOW DID I END UP SHOPPING?

Jessica's P.O.V.

"I'm home!" I called out to anyone at home shutting the door behind me. My 10 year old brother came into the foyer.

My brother is called Matt which is short for Matthew. He has a great number of allergies like dust, cat hairs, grass, cactus pins, soya etc and is also lactose intolerant. (He can eat milk and dairy products after taking beta-galactosidase.) Matt goes to this school, SilverWaters Elementary School, which is a few blocks away so mum drives him.

My dad is on this business trip and we hardly ever see him. My mother is a doctor and she runs shifts so she has a handy babysitter arranged for Matt.

At that exact moment, Matt entered the foyer, a workbook tucked under his arm. I could barely make out the words 'Maths For Elementary Schools.'

'Hey," He said.

I slipped my bag off my shoulders and let it slide to the carpet. "Where's mom?"

"She left the house five minutes ago 'cause she knew you'd be home soon."

"Oh, okay." I walked into the living room, and went to the kitchen. I noticed the fridge was half opened. "Matt!"

He ran into the kitchen. "Yes?"

I pointed to the fridge.

His eyes drooped. "Oh, uh, sorry, I took some water and I guess I forget to close it."

I searched his face to see if he was lying but it looked genuine so I warned him to close it properly next time. Then I let him go.

At that moment, my phone buzzed from my pocket and I took it out. It was a text on FaceBook Messenger.

I placed my phone on the kitchen counter and opened the fridge. A stick of butter was on the first rack and that gave me an idea.
