NOT WHAT IT SEEMS

SEAN

I was in a tight embrace with Riele, spinning her around, when we heard someone speaking from the doorway. I stopped and turned to find Jace with a confused look on his face.

"Oh hi Jace" Riele and I say in sync.

"How come I didn't get such a welcome?" He directed her.

"You will. As soon as you can match the gift Sean got me" I frown playfully at her.

"So you mean you're this way with me only cuz of what I got you?" I made my voice come out hurt.

For a second she pouted in worry. I think she thought I was serious. She kissed me on my nose and tweaked my cheek "of course not Seany boo" making me blush.

Someone cleared their throat. Right, Jace was still here.

"How come I don't get to be boo too?" Is he serious right now?

I turn to give him a look. He simply ignores me and smirks at Riele who groans against my neck. "Why is he so annoying all the time?" she whispered, face still resting on me.

"Ignore him Bolton" I say jokingly as I gave her a gentle squeeze. She nodded wrapping her arms tighter around my neck.

"You both realise I can still hear you right... hello... guys! am still here you know!"

"Of course Jace. You're still talking. And yess that's the point"

"Ok Sean boo, Just remember you're my boo first. Now Dan wants us... now".

"Ok Jace boo" I mimic, "be right behind ya"

"Rude!" he huffed.

"And served!" I yell at his retreating back and laughed when he flipped me the bird.

"So... " I say, turning to face Riele whom I've been carrying the whole time.

She only smirked in my face. Oh oh... whenever she does that, it simply meant she was planning something mischievous. I just hope it doesn't involve me.

I was proved right when she quickly wrapped her legs around my torso when I tried putting her down. "What are you doing? You heard Jace. Dan wants us now and you know how he's like".

"So?"

"Rieeeele..."

"What! am not stopping you from leaving!"

"Not doing anything! Come on!"

"Just carry me...pleeeasse... I feel too tiryewd to walk"

Garrhh! I can't refuse when she's being all baby-iesh. She's so small, and tiny, and... oh ok! I sigh "fine! you owe me though".

She squeals, giving me another kiss on my nose. "My hero!", arms once again wrapped around my neck. "Lead the way kind sire".

I simply roll my eyes and proceeded to carry her out.
