ADAM
I got home and immediately check my phone. No message from Emma. I need a distraction, I begin to pour soap in a bucket and fill it with water. I take the hose and water down my bike and begin to wash it.
"Did you guys get there in time?" I look up to see Gavin sitting on a stool inside the garage.
"No there was a car in the drive way when I got there. She said she would text me to make sure everything is cool." I say checking my phone again. Still nothing.
"I heard grandma tell gramps that she's and I quote "A lovely girl" she was talking about her the entire time. I thought for sure Oksana was going to burst with jealousy." He laughs remembering her face.
"Gavin Oksana is not jealous okay." I tell him checking my phone again.
"Oh on the contrary cousin, Oksana is extremely jealous." He says.
"Well I don't know why she would be." I say as I hose off the soap on my bike while I check my phone again with my free hand. I put my phone back in my pocket and shut the water off. I take a towel and dry it.
"Maybe because you made out with her last year when she moved in. Then you dropped her like the next day." He says helping me dry the bike.
When we finish I put everything back in its place and walk my bike out of the sun and into the garage. I begin to walk into the house Gavin following behind.
"I thought she was hot when I first met her. But I realized that she's kind of a bitch so that was all she wrote." I say walking into my room and Gavin walks in closing the door behind him. I jump on my bed and take out my phone. Why isn't she messaging me back?!
"You would be a cold person too if you had gone through everything she went through." He says sitting on my couch.
"Gavin we've all suffered too okay and yet we aren't assholes to everyone."
He gives me a questioning look. "No my brother and I aren't cold hearted assholes YOU are. The only reason you're acting different is because of Emma, and you like her."
I check my phone again and look up at him. "Shut up no I don't."
"What's going on in here?" Wesley sticks his head through door before stepping completely through.
"Why don't you just open the door? You always do that." I say annoyed. He walks through every wall in this house instead of using the doors or hallways.
"Where's the fun in that? So what are guys talking about?" He says sitting on the couch next to his brother.
"We're talking about how Adam is in love with Emma." Jokes Gavin.
"I. Don't. Like. Her." I assure him glancing at my phone.
"Wes he has checked his phone a thousand times since he got home because she said she would text him." He laughs and Wes laughs with him.
"Adam come on you know you like her just admit it." Says Wes.
"I'm not going to admit to something that isn't true." I tell them both.
"So you don't mind if I ask her for her number?" Gavin has the nerve to ask. My blood boils.
"Get out! Both of you!" They begin to chuckle and Wes walks through the wall into his room next door and Gavin opens the door.
"So is that a no?" He jokes and shuts the door when he sees me get up ready to punch him.
So what if I like her. No one needs to know that. Especially not her, not until I can make her fall for me. As long as Ethan stays away, she will realize that I'm the one.
