The Secrecy✔

Chapter 24

Liz Collins

"Tor, where are you?" I was talking to her on the phone while Sam and I entered the automatic door of the mall.

"Me and the guys are in the arcade. You're here?" I could barely hear her due to the loud noise and the sound of the gaming machines in the background.

"Yes! Which one?"

"Fourth floor. Near the escalator." She shouted over the phone. Gosh... My poor ear!!

"OK. We'll be right there!" I ended the call and turned to Sam, but was greeted by plain air.

Where is he??!! Ugh. This guy is really torturing me.

I walked further, looking for him.

"Boo!" Sam creeps up behind me.

"If you don't want to get killed soon, keep your hands to yourself." I warn him while my teeth are being pressured strongly.

"OK OK. Calm down."

"Where have you been?!" I turned to him, anger and impatience lacing in my voice.

"Oh... Just somewhere near." He looks around and suppresses a boyish and flirting smile at the girls around us.
In return, he gets a lot of squeals and winks. And I again, receive the typical one, glare.

"Come on, they are in the arcade." I inform him and start walking to the escalators to go upstairs.

"What the f*ck are they doing in there? What are they? Twelve-year-old kids?!" He curses and grumpily walks up beside me.

"Shut up, grandpa!" I mumbles.

"Woah... You literally give me new nicknames every week." He smirks at me. "But... I prefer something more nicer and sweeter. Hmm... How about babe or honey?!"

"In your dreams."

"Oh... You don't want to know what's in my dreams." He winks.

"Just go and meet them." I sigh.

How can he be this perverted in a week?! Arrogant, selfish and perverted. What's next?

"Hey guys!" I spotted them at the air hockey table. Girls were all swooning over Jack and Asher.

"Wow... Is he Samuel Parkinson?" One girl standing near the hockey table squealed as Sam came into the view.

"He is so hot." Another girl whispered, not really, more like spoke loudly if you ask me. I'm sure everyone heard that. Plus, the guy near me already had his signature smirk attached to his lips as he winked at them.

Very modest! How can they be so shameless?? Sigh big time**

Sam had his hands in his pockets as he was walking up to his friends. When I stood next to him, he suddenly bent down a bit and whispered.

"Not even trying." He smirked as every girl was now staring at me with jealousy.

"Not interested!" I shoved him away and went to Tori.

"Why do you guys end up here?" I asked her, looking amused as Jack and Asher were challenging each other and Sam was shaking his head in disbelief at his mates.

"Well, we didn't have anything to do, so we came here for fun." Tori chuckled. "These two are like high school jocks, trust me."

"Yeah. They look like they're having a fun time." I observed them. "Not like that grumpy grandpa over there."

"Sam, a grandpa??" Tori laughed out loud. I nodded.

"Where do you think we should go after this?" Tori asked me.
