Chapter Twenty-One ~ Acting Like Kids

Once our food is safety in our stomachs and the whole amazing story of Ben proposing to Jess is over it moves to us. Us being Asher and I. I've been dreading this upcoming conversation and don't really want to talk about it.

"So Tate" Ben looks at me with a sly smirk on his face. I'm already dreading this. "How did you come up with that story of you and Asher meeting?" Ben smirks and I quickly down the rest of my drink.

"Well, I made up the beginning part and twisted the time of the dinner party and all that around" I say telling the complete truth. I just mixed the dates and time round with everything and making up the beginning part of my story.

"I see" Ben says with a smile on his face.

"But you looked and did great! You looked define and beautiful" Jen said with Jess squeaking with agreement.

"That I can agree to" Thomas smirks, Jen hitting him on his arm and Asher sending him a playful glare.

"Tough, your already taken anyway by this girl" Asher smirks at Thomas then Jen. "Ouch! Your so mean to me" Asher mumbles as I laugh as Jen just smacked Asher like she did to Thomas.

"I'm mean to keep you in check and not to insult me" Jen tells Asher with a proud look.

"But I'm still your boss" Asher smirks smugly and this time Jen and I both smack Asher. Hard. "Ouch!" He yelps as the pain from our two hits impact him.

"Well I'm like a sister to you" Jen fires back at Asher. To be honest she's true, they treat each other like siblings and it's rather adorable, I've never told them that.

"Touché but why did you hit me?" Asher asks with a confused and pain face towards me.

"You pulled the boss card and that was harsh" I say looking stern at him. Though his look tells me he's smirking on the inside while the outside he's doing a sarcastic hurt face.

"So anything else we missed while we were away apart from the whole Tv show?" Jess asks looking at Asher and I.

My mind goes straight to the kiss we shared, the kiss at Asher's parents house in the garden. I think back what has happened apart from that, the sports club. I look at Asher and see him lost in his mind; most likely thinking the same as me. I can't say the kiss, can I?

"Well Jen and I went to this sports club to 'spy' on Ash and Thomas" I say and making sure to state that we weren't there to spy. We sort of were but oh well. "What?" I say to the others who are looking at me with a strange look.

"On the nickname base our we Tate" Ben smirks at me and I shrug.

"What Ash? His name is to long and boring" I say amusingly and feel someone flick me. "Ouch!" I yelp in my seat and face Asher.

"Sorry" he mumbles with a sly smirk hidden behind his lips.

"Anyway" I say turning back to the others. "Jen and I had lunch there and this boy came along-" I start before being cut of by Jen.

"He was quite handsome" Jen smirks and I nod my head with a laugh, both of us earning glares from Asher and Thomas.

"Then what?" Jess asks leaning forward to look at us.

"Asher went all King Kong on him with Thomas as his sidekick" I laugh with Jess and Jen joining me, Ben sitting there smirking.

"Why am I a sidekick?" Thomas complains and I shrug, shortly noticing Jen whisper something in his ear making his eyes widen with a naughty smirk creeping on his lips.
