Weddings And Wine *MATURE*

2. Do we kiss now?

"Hey, what's up?" Elle sat next to her brother Kyle.

"What are you doing? Mom is gonna see you." he said trying to push her head down so she could hide under the table. He stopped and smirked at her.

"Ha, funny."

"Are you drunk yet?" he asked eating a piece of chocolate cake.

"I was starting to but..." she took the fork out of his hand and took a bite of his cake. "What can you tell me about Jake?"

"Wow, you changed the subject really quickly." then he looked at her and narrowed his eyes. "But why are you asking?"

"Nothing special, I just met him. He seemed nice, he said he's your friend."

"Yes, he is. Jake is cool, he dated Vicky for a while but apparently she was cheating on him with Brad who I didn't know back then."

"Were they friends? Brad and Jake, I mean."

"Kind of, they had mutual friends, they weren't exactly friends, they just knew each other." he took the fork from her hand and continued to eat his cake.

"How come they never found out? You know, that they were dating the same girl."

"Brad did, he was the lover, I guess, Vicky just chose Brad, thought that he was husband material."

"And Jake wasn't?"

"Why are you asking so many questions about Jake, Liz?" she signed.

"I don't know, I just got intrigued. And don't call me that, assface." he laughed.

"Jake is a good guy, he's funny, cool to hang out. If he's boyfriend or husband material I wouldn't know, never dated him." he smiled making fun of Elle. "Now I recall, he was looking for wine the last time I saw him, I told him to ask you and that you were probably in the kitchen. Did you share a bottle?" he winked at her making her roll her eyes at him.

"Of course not. I had my bottle and he had his, which now that I'm thinking about it we did share his bottle." he chuckled.

"Wait, you drank a whole bottle yourself and still had half of his? Are you insane, Elle? Is this wedding making you that upset?" he got closer, now worrying about her. Kyle has always been the protective brother, always looking out for her, keeping boys away while their mother would throw anyone in her face trying to get her a boyfriend.

"You are next. To get married, you know. Then I will be alone in that house with our crazy mother. Someday, if she still insists that I have to stay in that house while I'm single, I swear to God I will run away and she will never lay her eyes on me again." he looked at me like I was a lost puppy and grabbed my hand.

" I will run with you so you won't be alone." she smiled at her brother who was always so caring towards her.

"I love you, Kyle." he hugged her and she felt her heart warming up.

"Elizabeth!" Elle grunted against Kyle's shirt as she heard the devil calling for her hideous name. She let go of Kyle and got up trying to escape but it was too late. "Don't you dare turn your back on me, young lady."

"Oh hi, mom. I didn't see you there." she smiled like she was an angel in person.

"Where have you been, child? I looked for you in the kitchen and didn't find you. Are you drunk already?" Elle's mom, Anastasia, put her hands on her waist and looked deadly into Elle's eyes.

"Did you know that you have the name of one of the stepsisters of cinderella?"

"Don't take me as a fool, I asked you a question."
