15) Two is Company, Three is a Crowd, Seven's Just Awkward

You've got to be kidding me.

"Please tell me I'm hallucinating or dreaming. Or that someone has smacked me over the head with a plank of wood and this is me being welcomed into the afterlife." I blink furiously hoping that the unwanted guest will disappear into oblivion for eternity.

"Now where would be the fun in that?" Sam leans on the door frame with a smirk I really would like to punch "Reality seems so much better right now."

I step forward meeting Sam's gaze. I'd prefer to be wearing heels right now so I could look semi intimidating as I barely even reach his shoulder.

"I will smash this ring and use the shards to cut you up into tiny little pieces. Then I'll buy a goldfish and feed your-"

"Mackenzie!" My mum comes to the doorway and gives me a deadly glare. You know the one that makes you regret everything you've ever done in your life and want to apologise for things you haven't even done yet?

"Sam is our guest. You will be polite to him," she looks at me sternly.

"I mean welcome to my humble abode Sam. Please leave your attitude and opinions outside as they are unwanted here, just like you. Is that better?" plastering a fake smile on my face.

My mum cranes her neck out looking behind me "Oh, darling. Who's that hiding back there?"

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Any chance of me replying is eliminated when Sam swiftly steps forward, pulling his friend into a bro hug "Aaron. My man. What's up? Come on inside."

Does he realise this is my house right?

Aarons' eyes widen in surprise and shift towards me. "Oh ah, actually I've got-"

"What a great idea Sam." she claps her hands together; undoubtedly planning many ways to embarrass me "I always have heaps of leftovers anyway. You must join us to eat". In other words 'you better accept my offer or I will have a long chat with your mum'.

He puts on a smile and enters the wolf den

I'm seriously going to kill Sam. Maybe I can just poison his food or do something subtle like throw a knife at him.

When we sit down all eyes are on Aaron and I.

Sam's mum speaks to clear the uncomfortable silence "It's so nice to see you again Mackenzie, it's been a while since our last dinner. I always wonder why we don't do these more often."

My eyes connect with Sam's as we both raise an eyebrow knowing the very obvious answer.

Food usually ends everywhere by the end of the night or someone gets injured. There was even an incident when Mum made a Bombe Alaska and I may have burnt one of Sam's eyebrows off with the lighter. What can I say we are both very accident prone.

Aaron leans over and loudly whispers "I didn't know you and Sam's parents were close. Do they come over a lot? Wait are you secretly best friends?" I almost spit my drink out at the last comment.

I shake my head "Sam is the opposite of that, he's unwanted. Unpleasant. Uncivilised-"

"Undoubtedly handsome." Sam interrupts spooning a pile of peas into his mouth "I've always known how you truly felt about me Mackenzie but sadly crazy cat lady isn't my type."

I almost jump out of my seat but Aaron holds me back with a hand on my hip. I can feel my face heating up again.

He better choke on them peas.
