"alright, day 1 of Getting Amirah back." millie shouted and clapped her hands.
i furrowed my brows.
"shouldn't it have a name or something?"
"it already has a name." she looked conflicted.
"i know, but don't you think it's a bit long?"
"well what do you have mind?" she tilted her head like a puppy.
"we should name it cobra or something." i shrugged.
"cobra? that's what you want it to be called, then i guess it's called cobra."
i smiled and sat up a bit.
"okay, first things first. lose the attitude. it's not cute. she's definitely not gonna want to be near you with it but we knew that already."
i rolled my eyes but nodded nonetheless.
"second thing. can you at least act like you like the kid?"
i made a face.
"finn." she warned.
"what?!" i surrendered.
"from what i can see, i think she really likes him."
my heart plummeted at those words.
i guess it showed on my face because millie placed a sympathetic hand on my shoulder.
"it's okay, because once she gets you back, she's not even gonna think about him." she tried.
"i'm putting my trust in you millie." i scolded.
"i promise that all these things will get your girl back."
i blushed.
"just follow through. now you have to promise me that you'll be nice to luca. no matter how much he smells." she giggled a bit at the end.
"i solemnly swear that i, finn wolfhard, will be nice to smelly boy luca for amirah's sake." i held my right hand over my heart as i spoke.
"he does smell quite bad doesn't he?" she grimaced.
"you think i said that was making the whole table smell as a joke? he stinks!" i exclaimed making millie chuckle.
"it doesn't make what you said nice though." she pushed my shoulder.
"it makes what i said true." i shrugged.
"finn do you have- oh shit- i mean- hey." my dad stumbled over his words.
i raised my brow at him, confused, but millie seemed to think my dad stuttering was funny.
he chuckled at her and began to close the door.
"i'll just come back later."
"no, it's okay. what'd you need?" i asked.
"i was gonna ask if you knew where i put my computer mouse at." he scratched the back of his neck.
"oh. i was using it last night, my bad. it's right there." i pointed to my desk that held his mouse on it.
"always touching stuff." he joked as he picked up his find.
"yeah, shame on you finn." millie slapped my thigh as she scolded me.
"ow you bitch." i slapped her thigh back but not as hard.
my dads shook his head and walked out of my room.
"sorry to interrupt, i'll give you and your lady friend some privacy." was his last words before he left.
"i'm gay!!!" millie yells to my dad a few seconds after the door was closed.
i heard my dad cry from laughter down the hall.
