Mistaken Love

Chapter Twenty-four.

"Hey, sleepy-head!" A loud voice echoed throughout the room, as the sound of footsteps approached me.

"Hm?" I mumbled, pulling the pillow closer to my body, taking in the warmed of the silk-like pillow case.

The bed suddenly dipped down, as I felt immediate pressure upon my back. A groan bubbled in my throat, as I opened my eyes, squinting at the bright sun shinning through the windows between the bed.

"Come on!" The owner of the voice whined. "I'm taking you and Rachel somewhere!"

Turning my head, my eye sight focused on Bethany, who sat impatiently on my back.

"Where are we going?" I grumbled, as I returned my heavy head to the closest feathered pillow.

Bethany giggled, as she padded my untamed hair. "It's a surprise. Now hurry up and freshen up!" Bethany explained, as she got off of me. "We don't want to be late!" She added, before exiting the room.

A deep sigh escaped through my lips. "She hasn't changed..." I mumbled, before pushing myself away from the mattress.

I placed my feet on the chilly hardwood floor, as I stretched, popping the tense bones in my back in the process. I blinked a few times, before I walking over to my duffle bag.

Unzipping it, I pulled out a plain black t shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans and my navy blue zip up hoodie. I quickly changed, before slipping into my shoes. Once I was ready to go, I grabbed my phone, as I slipped it inside my pocket, before exiting the guest bedroom.

I dragged myself down the stairs, where I found Bethany and Rachel laughing hysterically in the living room.

"Don't worry," Rachel spoke through her high laughs. "I'll take care of him." She added.

I raised my eyebrow, as I tilted my head like a dog. "What was so funny?" I asked. "I'm pretty sure you woke up the sleeping children in the U.K. from you two laughing so loud." I chuckled, as I slipped my hands inside my hoodie pockets, before approaching them.

The girls turned their attention to me, before their cheeks turned into a light shade of red. Bethany played with the loose strains of blonde that had fallen out of her pony tail, before responding to my question.

"Oh, it's just girl talk!" Bethany scoffed, as she planted her eyes to her blue shoes.

I couldn't help but chuckle, as I shook my head at her horrible lying skills. There's one thing that everybody (expect Rachel) knows about Bethany, it's that she is a horrible liar.

"I can see through your lie," I chuckled. "but I'll let it slide this one time."

Bethany looked at me, with an expression of relief planted across her face. Within seconds, her relief expression was quickly replaced with a devious smile, as she giggled lightly.

"Good! Now let's get going!" Bethany cheered, as she sent a wink towards Rachel's way.

Rachel looked at Bethany, as she flashed her an impressed smirked, before winking back.

I have a feeling they're up to something. Something is about to happen and I'm not sure what.

I gulped quietly, as I followed them out of the house and over to Bethany's car, regretting ever introducing these two to one another.

"I'm going to kill Bethany!" I pondered, as I gripped the assist handle tightly.

Bethany viewed her review mirror, as our eyes meet. She couldn't help but laugh at the situation, even though I didn't find this remotely funny at all.
