Chapter 16

Zalyina's POV

"Wait so Lucas is with Payton, but really likes Brooke..."

"No Lucas is with Brooke, but really likes Payton" I said correcting Anthony.

"Oh okay ... but does Payton like him back?"

"Yeah but she won't admit it" I replied.

It was three in the morning on now Saturday and Anthony and I literally spent our Friday night watching One Tree Hill on Netflix. By Wednesday Anthony was fully moved in and I had actually got used to his company. We drive to school together, come home together, eat together, watch tv together, and I have to say the kid's not as bad as I thought. He's actually pretty funny and I've grown fond of having him with me in the past week.

"I can't seem to understand how I didn't think to put a theatre in my home" Anthony said while getting a soda from the snack bar.

"It probably has something to do with me being smarter than you."

"You wish" he replied.

I laughed and put a skittle in my mouth.

Simi was sprawled out by my feet with a paw over his face. Anthony sat back down on the lounge bed next to me and sipped his drink.

"So what happens when he gets too big."

"We'll get a bigger bed."

"Seriously. How are you going to keep a fully grown male tiger once you go off to college."

"I've never really thought of that."

"Hmm" He said while petting Simi.

"I love Simi I don't ever wanna get rid of him" I said.

"Hopefully you won't have to."

We watched about 4 more episodes before drifting asleep. When I opened my eyes I was on my stomach with my head in Anthony's side and Simi's head was resting on his stomach. He was snoring lightly and I closed my eyes drifting back asleep. When I woke up the second time Simi was gone and so was Anthony. I sat up stretching my back out and my legs. I walked over to my bathroom and brushed my teeth. I limped down the stairs to the kitchen where the smell of bacon hit me instantly. Anthony was sitting at the island table stuffing his face and Simmi was on the floor eating his meat. My chef was preparing my bagel and smiled when he saw me.

"Morning sleepy head" he said while putting the bagel in front of a chair.

"Morning Lando" I said while taking a seat.

I looked over at Anthony who was still stuffing his face and laughed.

"What's so funny" he asked.

"You're a pig eating pig" I said while taking a bite out of my bagel.

"Well this pig tastes marvelous."

"I bet."

Raymen's POV

"Raymen Raymen" the two little voices called my name while running towards me with their back packs flopping up and down.

"Stop running" I yelled and they went from running to speed walking. I laughed, the kids were pretty funny.

My little brothers Alex and Nicki were five years old and two little mischievous children. I missed them so much that it felt like I was gone forever. They looked like my mom with curly brown hair and green eyes. I opened the door and they jumped in the back seat.
