A Little More Than Just Friends

Chapter 4: what is this sorcery?

Chapter 4: what is this sorcery?

So I bet your wondering how I'm in Mackenzie's bed. With him half naked and one arm slung around me. Yep this was all while listening to Drake's new song; hold on we're going home. Well there is a perfectly good explanation for this. Hang on let me just go back a bit

I sat on his bed watching as he pulled his top off. You should have seen it. His muscles just were. I don't even know the word to it. He walked into his closet and came back out in pyjama pants. But still no top and fell face first onto his bed.

"Um Mackenzie? what are you doing?" I asked him as he rolled onto his back and grabbed a remote off his side table.

"What do you think I'm doing?" he laughed as music began playing "calling out my evil minions?" I laughed. He smiled at himself and crawled over to me

"What now?" I asked him

"Oh nothing just a little something I call... tickle attack!" he called and grabbed me.

"No no no no" I cried as I burst out laughing. I had the worst thing about tickling. Even one little touch and i'll be laughing for a week.

"Mackenzie" I cried laughing my face off

"There's no stopping me now Dee-Dee" he laughed "once the demon in me is awoken then watch out!" then he slipped and fell on me. Leaving me breathless cause he is so heavy

"Mackenzie!" I cried but when I looked up his face was right there. If I had moved any more then we would have... it dosnt matter

"W-what?" I stuttered as his eyes bore into me and I felt as though he was looking at all my secrets. He didn't say anything. He just kept looking at me. His breath fanned out on my face. I didn't know what to do. I thought he was never going to move. I stopped breathing as his hand moved up my body and stopped on my cheek.

"M-Mackenzie" I whispered as his face inched closer to mine. It didn't stop though. I gasped as his lips touched my neck. I still didn't know what to do. I gripped the sheets trying to think. But I couldn't it was like I was glued to the spot. I don't believe in magic but... what else could it be?

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Mackenzie practically jumped off me and I let out the breath I'd been holding. I sat up as his mum walked in

"You know that science project story?" she asked "I didn't even realise but. It Friday" the words repeated in my head. How could we have been so stupid! We couldn't have said it was due on Monday? I looked at Mackenzie and he realised what he had done too

"What's really going on kIds?" she asked us. Now it was my turn to save the day as Mackenzie just sat there like his pet chicken had just been fried and eaten.

"Well um Lauren. The thing is" I was scanning my brain as fast as I could. Then I had it

"Well the thing is" I repeated "Mackenzie and I volunteered to help the schools stall at the festival tomorrow" I was proud with that an by the look in Mackenzie's face, he was too. Lauren's face suddenly brightened

"Well arnt you two just a pair of angels" she cooed. Jason walked past at that moment. It technically wasn't a lie

"Why can't you be like your brother?" Lauren scolded. Jason layed eyes on us and pushed past his mum

"Hey Dee-Dee" he said excitedly what are youse doing?" he asked us

"Just chilling" Mackenzie answered. Jealousy rang in his tone. These two always had little arguments when we were little. He's only a year older than us but still acts like he's heaps older. Mackenzie smirked as he saw a random girl walk past

"Hey I think your... guest is going the wrong way" he laughed. I forgot to mention he's a complete Hugh Hefner. Never the same girl

"Oh her. That's no one" Jason laughed back. He looked at her butt when she walked past though. He pretty much looked like Mackenzie except Jason had brown eyes and freckles. He didn't have dimples either.

"No one that I should be getting back to" he said. "Hey don't go t the festival thing with out me. I'll drive youse"

"No way!" Mackenzie cried "that stupid old thing will kill us. I'm driving" Jason laughed and agreed before hurrying after the girl.

"Pfft player much?" Mackenzie laughed after the door was closed. I smiled at him as he yawned

"I'm tired" he said and fell back on his bed. I snuggled under the covers next to him.

"Good night dee-dee" he said quietly.

And that my friends. Is how I ended up in this position. I mean hey I wasn't complaining but I couldn't stop thinking about earlier

I rolled on my side so that we were face to face. He looked so adorable when he was sleeping. He had the quietest snore I have ever heard. It wasn't even really a snore. It was more just like... breathing louder than normal.

"Mmm" he mumbled "dee-dee" I felt my own eyes widening. Did he just say my name?

"Why are you staring at me like a pedo?" he asked and I realised he wasn't even asleep

"Oh sorry" I whispered "did I wake you up?"

"Eh" he replied. He hadn't even opened his eyes yet.

"You should be asleep" he told me. I knew I should be too but I... I don't know anymore

"What's wrong?" he asked mumbling. Evidently because he was still tired

"Nothing" I answered. He pulled me closer

"I'm sorry about today" he whispered

"It wasn't your fault" I told him

" No I meant before mum came in"

"Oh don't worry about that" because I wasn't. I was kind of going he'd do it again

"Kay then" he sighed and pulled me even closer. I was happily complying with this. I let my arm rest on his hip. He started snoring again so I knew he was asleep. I put my head on his chest then I heard the worst noise ever.

Through the what seemed like the thinnest walls ever, I could hear Jason an the girl in what sounded like she was mauling him. the worst part was, it sounded like it was at the door. Mackenzie's eyes flew open and he walked over to the door like he was going to die. Mackenzie flung open the door and Jason toppled over onto the girl. They both laughed at Mackenzie.

"Get. Away. From. My. Room" Mackenzie threatened.

"What are we going to do with you Jason?" I called out

"Love me. Feed me. Never let me go" he answered.

"Did you really just use a cartoon reference?" the girl asked disgusted

"What you don't like garfield?" Jason asked her

"You are WAY more childish than I thought you were. I'm out of here" she pushed Jason off her grabbed her stuff and left

"Don't be like that baby" he called after her and chased after her. Mackenzie thankfully got back under the covers and snuggled up to me.

"What a prick" Mackenzie laughed. I smiled at him. Then the door burst open

"Well well what do we have here?" Jason asked evilly eyeing the way me and Mackenzie were laying.

"Did you even know that girls name ?" Mackenzie asked as he looked up at his brother leaning against the doorway.

"Nope" Jason replied and I knew he was serious

"It's 2 in the morning!" Lauren yelled "go to sleep!" Jason left the room laughing and that was that. I fell asleep counting Mackenzie's heart beat. I loved being in his arms. It was so warm and I felt like I belonged. I finally felt like I belong somewhere.
