Hidden

Chapter 15

EDITED
Eric didn't have a chance to stick to his promise of sleeping in the spare room as we both ended up falling asleep on the sofa. At some point in the third lion king movie we must have dosed off.

When we woke up this morning Eric had wrapped his arms and legs around me holding me close to his chest. I'm not going to lie I did kind of like it; not that I'll ever admit that to him.

However he did leave about 10 minutes ago as he said he had to sort something out at home but would be back later tonight. Meaning I have been left alone.

I'm just happy I won this time around. I knew he would have to leave at some point meaning I am alone.

Suddenly I hear knocking on the door. Who the hell could that be on a Saturday. Thankfully I'm wearing some sweatpants this morning so my leg is covered as I open the door.

Standing in front of me is a smiling Jason and a smirking Kyle. From the looks on their faces I'm guessing I'm not hiding my feelings well.

"You have got to be shitting me" I say with a monotone voice

"Nice to see you to Tavi" Kyle laughs

"Tavi you really should be resting" Jason chastises me

"I'm going to kill him" I grumble

"Not on my watch"  Kyle says sternly glaring at me and wrapping his arm round Jason. I can't help but smile.

"Not him idiot. Fuckface, the twat that got me babysitters"

"Speaking of, can we come in?" Jason smiles

I step back from the door motioning for them to enter. Both of them do but not before Kyle nudges me away from the door and onto the sofa with Jason closing the door.

It's only now that I realise I don't have my leg on and the tracksuit is hanging limply off my left leg. I can't help but get embarrassed.

Neither boy seems to notice as they sit down on the sofa and start bickering over what movie we should watch.

Today is going to be a long day.

It's now about 7pm and the guys have been babysitting me for about 10 hours. The whole time we have been watching chick flicks as a punishment for them bickering.

They were arguing over fight club or the terminator for about half an hour before I got bored and threw a pillow at the both of them declaring that we are having a chick flick day.

They both protested but I only needed to remind them that they were supposed to be looking after me and when that didn't work I threatened to tell on them to Eric.

What can I say I'm a strong independent woman who don't need know man but I'm also a grumpy teenager every so often. Balance is healthy no one is perfect everyone had their flaws and this is one of mine.

Then again I live with the motto you don't like me then fuck off. It's little things like that which make me so sweet and approachable.

I'm cut off from my thoughts by the sound of Kyle shouting.

"It's about fucking time Jason and I were about to be late for our plans"

"Don't get your knickers in a twist I'm here now" I hear the familiar sound of a certain dick head.

The door closes and I come to the realisation that it is now just the two off us in the house. Eric peeks his head round the corner of the door looking a bit like a meerkat. The idea makes me smile internally. I can't show it. I'm still pissed of with him.
