"Is there somethin' you wanna tell me? Somethin' you wanna tell us?"
I glanced up through my lashes at Lola's beaming face, joined by the rest of the gangs'. She had came bouncing in and woken me up from my beauty sleep, telling me she made me breakfast. But now I knew the breakfast was to ease me into spilling something since she was interrogating me, relentlessly. She barely even gave me a full 2 minutes to brush my teeth and wash my face, which already had me irritated from the start.
Thank God for the fact that Kells was at work, otherwise he would've had to deal with Lola and that was something he should definitely be spared from.
I sighed as I dragged my eyes away from everyones smiles back down to my plate of scrambled eggs and bacon, totally not in the mood for this.
I yawned as I took a bite of egg, my heavy eyes making it hard to even look at my food,
"Huh?"
Rook sighed deeply from his perch on the island as Baze, Slim, and Ryan both groaned in unison from their stations around the kitchen, aware of the fact that I was beating around the bush.
I definitely heard Lola the first time, I just didn't wanna answer her. For some reason, i had a sneaking suspicion she was talking about last night but I had no idea how she would even know about Kells' and I's shared "I love yous".
I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes as I kept my eyes trained down on my food, the feeling of Lola's burning eyes on me starting to make me feel uncomfortable,
"Can you interrogate me later- like when I'm fully awake?"
Ryan chuckled as Lola rolled her eyes, everyone's impatience starting to show in their body behavior,
"You're conscious enough to answer her question, though- why do we have to wait?"
I wanted to slap him and tell him to shut the fuck up, since it was clearly too early for his bullshit, but I rolled my eyes in response, instead. But since it was my bad luck, Lola opened her mouth again, except it wasn't to say she was gonna oblige with my wishes,
"Please- c'mon. I know you wanna tell us something,"
I glanced up at the smirk on her lips, her eyes filled to the brim with amusement. With one quick evaluation around the kitchen, I realized everyone else also had the same look in their eyes- as if they caught someone keeping a secret.
It was the pout on Rook's lips that snapped me out of my sleepy trance, the previous feeling of annoyance creeping back into me,
"Well, whatever- you obviously already heard or saw something so why do I have to give an explanati-"
I was cut off from the sudden cheering and whooping that erupted from the men and woman, their happiness hitting me in the face.
The mood in the kitchen immediately shifted and it honestly brought a smile to my face- how could you not at least smirk a little at their joy?
Lola basically leaped across the breakfast bar, engulfing me in a hug as she squealed in my ear, the rest of the boys clapping in unison,
"Aw, my little baby is in love!"
Ugh, I'm in love.
Hearing that from Lola was like a slap to the face, considering she was against us being together, but I guess shit changes when life does.
I smiled as she pressed her cheek against mine, her whole body fizzing with energy as she squeezed me half to death,
"I thought you didn't like him that much."
She giggled as she pulled back, her smile growing wider than mine. Lola shrugged but blew me a kiss, her wide, green eyes gazing down at me with joy,
"Eh, I guess after seeing how much he cares about you, he doesn't seem half as bad as I thought he was."
Yeah, he really wasn't. I felt my smile grow as I flashed back to a few hours ago when we were wrapped in each other's arms on his balcony.
It was one of the happiest moments of my life, being able to get those three words off my chest. It was like a burden that was weighing me down and just being able to drop it- it felt great.
And it was equally as great hearing it from him too- I just truly felt happy. I was dragged out of my thoughts as Rook cooed, probably noticing the faraway look in my eyes,
"Congrats, Lilly- you two are a match made in heaven."
Lola smiled over at her man as she nodded her head, the joy in her eyes turning into her own kind of affection,
"Honestly."
At that moment, all eyes were on me as they looked over to gauge my reaction to all of this, suddenly making me squirm in my seat.
I decided to try and get all the attention off me by slowly engaging in the conversation instead of being quiet,
"How'd you guys know about that anyway?"
Lola leaned against me as I poked at the eggs, her light voice by my ear as she spoke up,
"I was outside- right under his balcony. Sorry, but i just had to tell someone and then Rook spilled the fucking beans,"
I glared at Rook still sitting on the island, earning me a sheepish grin and the shrug of his shoulders. I frankly didn't care that he blabbed since everyone would find out either way, but that's when a paranoid thought hit me like a truck- Nick. His name was the only thing running through my head as it dawned on me that Lola probably heard what I said about him, what I confessed to Kells before the happy ending.
I felt a lump in my throat start to form as I felt like a deer caught in headlights, everyone's eyes still on me. I whipped my eyes up to meet Lola's, who were as lighthearted and normal as ever.
That's odd.
I felt my heart start to race as I tried my hardest to keep my cool, my words saying one thing but my eyes saying another,
"You heard everything?"
I willed her to give a look if she did hear what I said about Nick but she flashed a quizzical look, making her look like an innocent little bunny,
"I only heard the last part-"
That immediately put my mind at ease- I had nothing to worry about. I didn't need Lola hearing about one of our mutual best friends trying to ruin my love life- that would definitely put the rest of us on edge and I wasn't gonna make her choose between us either.
I nodded to her words as Ryan exhaled loudly, rubbing the palms of his hands together,
"Alright, well, it was nice hearin' you admit that but I need to get to wo-"
As if on cue, the man of the house walked in himself, slamming into Ryan as he walked in.
Ryan shoved his shoulder playfully but earned an even harder shove in the back from Kells, which sent him flying out of the kitchen.
Rook and Baze were laughing their asses off since it looked so comical, and so was Lola, but I didn't feel the need to laugh- my eyes were on Kells and only Kells.
I felt my involuntary smile grow as Kells rolled his eyes, his eyes finally landing on me as he turned his attention to the rest of us in the kitchen.
He winked one of those icy blue eyes at me before glancing over at Rook, muttering something about him needing to get to the warehouse.
I honestly wasn't paying attention, every fucking ounce of my attention focused on Kells' side profile.
My eyes traveled up from his sharp cheekbones and nose to the light pink dad hat covering his blond-brown hair, some tufts of the dyed hair sticking out at the front.
I took the time to study the black hoodie that hugged his frame, the same pink-colored windbreaker on top of it with ripped jeans and black high top converse.
God bless whoever taught him his sense of style because damn. Maybe it was in his genes but he was one lucky bitch- he could make anything work.
I didn't realize I was staring until I felt a sharp nudge on my shoulder, the jab of flaring pain in my muscles snapping me out of it.
I glared over at Lola who had a smirk on her face, amusement written all over it as she watched the guilt wash over me,
"I get that he's your man now and shit but you literally look like a lioness about to pounce on some prey- it's unhealthy."
I knew she was joking but I flipped her off anyway, making her laugh as Kells noticed me doing so.
He left Rook and Baze as they exited the kitchen, leaving just us three in the now-quiet room,
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. You'd think otherwise after the lovely night I gave her but,"
He feigned disappointment as he muttered the last part to Lola, causing her to flash a smile. I felt my cheeks grow even hotter as the teasing continued, Lola' s fingers grabbing my cheeks as she cooed.
It was one of those stereotypical gestures that a grandma did as she welcomed her grandkids, a gesture that made my already flushed cheeks turn a brighter pink.
I rolled my eyes but let them have their fun- I hadn't seen them get along like this before and I didn't wanna ruin the moment.
I glanced up at Kells whose eyes were on me, the laugh on his lips fading as he stared even longer. I could tell he was studying me from the way his eyes flickered back and forth and up and down on my face, taking in every imperfection of mine.
I did the same to him while Lola talked on and on, not realizing we were lost in our own little world- lost in each other's eyes.
Lola rolled her eyes and grumbled, finally getting the hint that we weren't listening,
"Okay, anyways, you guys do whatever you wanna do... Imma just go,"
That drove me to tear my eyes away from Kells, breaking our staring contest in a split second. I didn't want her to leave, not yet.
I cleared my throat, my hand on her wrist stopping her from moving any further,
"Wait, can I talk to you before you go?"
The confusion in her eyes slowly turned into one of guilt and I immediately knew that she definitely did hear something she shouldn't have. Despite already seeing the alarm in her eyes, she tried covering it up by nodding, her semi-long blonde hair swaying around her shoulders as she fidgeted around,
"What about?"
Her green eyes darted over to Kells who was now standing beside me, his intense blue eyes on me as well. I didn't care if he was here but for some reason, Lola did.
I shrugged it off as I got straight to the point, my impatience getting the best of me,
"Did you hear what I said about Nick last night? Outside on the balcony?"
I didn't have time to gauge her reaction as Kells butted in, his already-deep voice growing an octave deeper,
"Wait, why would she hear what we..."
I didn't bother looking him in the eye, letting my eyes rest on Lola's hands clutching the edge of the granite breakfast bar.
Lola sighed as she spoke for me, her nervous green eyes meeting Kells',
"Because... I heard you guys talking outside last night. I came out for some fresh air and I..."
She didn't have to say any more- she basically admitted to hearing my confession. I gulped down the ball in my throat as Kells let out a nervous chuckle, his relief written all over his face,
"That's why the boys are acting weird 'round me."
He seemed relieved with the fact that he figured something out but I, myself, didn't feel a single ounce of relief. He didnt seem to care at all about the confession regarding Nick but I shrugged it off- why would he care?
But me on the other hand, had every reason to worry about it. Lola had heard what Nick had done and now she couldnt forget it. She surely had to be torn about it.
I glanced up at Lola who was looking back down at me, nothing in her eyes that gave me a hint on what she was thinking. She seemed as calm as ever with a small smile on her lips and a carefree expression on her face, as if she didn't just find out one of our best friends had professed his love for me,
"That was an asshole move of him but whatever- you obviously made the right choice."
I felt my muscles start to relax as Lola blew me a kiss, slowly slinking out of the kitchen once she flashed a smirk at the both of us. I let out a deep but frustrated sigh once Lola was out of earshot, allowing myself to fully relax. There was too much on my mind for me to stop giving a fuck but I needed to try- this couldn't be healthy for someone's mindset.
Kells sighed right by my ear, his large hands finding it's home on my shoulders as he kneaded my muscles under his fingers,
"She's right, you know."
"Hm?"
He chuckled again as he continued to massage my shoulders, my mind losing itself in his touch the longer his fingers were on me,
"She was right about you makin' the right choice."
I had no doubt in my mind that she was but I didn't say anything else, just let his fingers work his magic. I felt every worry in my mind start to melt until I felt his long fingers come to a halt.
I pouted as I turned around in my seat, seeing his icy blue eyes staring down at mine with that sexy ass infamous smirk on his lips.
He bent down a little, his arms creating a barrier around me as he leaned them against the edge of the countertop.
This escalated way too quickly and I felt my heart skip a few beats as I met his stare, every dirty thing I wanna do to him popping into my head in a fucking millisecond.
I smiled as he muttered under his breath, his hot breath hitting my lips as he spoke,
"Do you think you made the right choice?"
His voice made my knees weak and made my heart ache, making my heart spasm against my ribcage. I bit my lip as a plan formulated in my mind- a gooood plan.
I swiveled the barstool around so that I was inbetween his wide legs, every part of me switching into overdrive.
It was like a new me had rebirthed and took control of the old, pathetic me, leaving behind a horny, sex-driven bitch.
I ran my hands through his soft hair as I pulled his face towards mine, my slow lips moving in sync with his.
It honestly looked and sounded as if I knew what I was doing, but on the inside, I was a different story.
No matter how many times I kissed him, I still felt the excitement and rush as if it was like the first time all over again.
I smiled against his lips as I pulled away, leaving the both of us breathless and needing more. The slickness in my voice made his eyes turn a darker shade and I knew I was in for a ride,
"No, I don't think I made the right choice- I think I made the greatest choice ever."
