Figuring It Out

Chapter 18

I guess Michael and Niall had to do something together, because everyone was watching TV in the family room, with Niall absent.

"Oh hey Bri, long time no see."

Ashton calls out.

"Mate bug off she was obviously canoodling with Michael."

Lou buts in.

Liam leans over and smacks him in the chest.

"My baby sister doesn't canoodle."

Louis looks over at Liam and raises his eye brows.

"She's almost 20. Of course she canoodles. It's like, in the young adult mind set."

"Well I don't want her canoodling with creeps."

"So Michael is a creep? Liam the creepiest thing he does is look out the window to see what the weather is!"

"Well Michael isn't a creep though! I was just-"

I cut Liam off.

"Guys enough! We were just playing video games and talking! Now you," I look at Louis, "Are a total idiot for bringing this up in front of Liam. As for you," I direct my attention towards Liam,"Don't need to be worried about my sex life. What I choose to do is in the end my choice."

Both of them mumble 'sorry' to me and to each other. I walk over and sit by Ashton.

After watching Sponge Bob for an hour and a half, I get a text.

Michael the Bomb Fizzle:

Be ready at like.. 5.. wear some stuff to run around in and your famous converse ;)

Bri Bri Bear:

Do I have any say in this? Haha

Michael the Bomb Fizzle:

Not if I can help it! see ya xx

I smile at the way Michael ended the conversation. What a dork. When I check my phone time, I see it's about 4. Time really flew today.

As I stand up, Ashton grabs my arm and pulls me back down.

"Where are you headed off to little lady?"

"I have plans that I have no say in apparently."

Liam looks over at us, and he raises is eyebrows at me.

"So Ashton if you would so kindly let me go, I need to get ready."

He squeezes my wrist and let's go.

Weird.

As I head upstairs, I hear Liam tell everyone he'll be right back.

"So, where you going?"

Liam asks me in a questioning tone.

"Michael told me to be ready at 5. And to make sure I wear something comfortable and some converse."

"Oh. Wait....! Oh this is cute!"

"Liam, what the hell are you talking about?"

"Some things that I know."

"So any other time I talk about going out with a guy it's 'don't kiss him' or 'use protection' but for Michael it's 'oh this is cute'?"

Liam nods his head vigorously.

"Well, I have to get ready."

Closing my bedroom door on Liam.

See how he likes a cliff hanger.
