Perfectly Imperfect

Chapter 7: Reunited

(James' POV)

I seriously want to kill that dude. After all he had done to Penny he still has the nerves to show up?! Damn. He should be ashamed!

I calmed myself down for a bit. I might go out of control, don't want anything to happen that's worse than what happened at the bowling alley. But if he ever comes back again, I swear I'll lunge a knife at him.

After the story about Penny and Robin I sighed deeply and went to the kitchen.

A few minutes later, I heard Brad talking to Connor. As I was drinking my juice I can't help but overhear their conversation.

“You seemed too occupied bro, what's happening to you?” Brad asked. Me too, I do keep on noticing Connor acting a bit different. Well now I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticing it.

"Can't eat, can't sleep, I don't know,” Con explained.

“Ahh, you my friend, have the L word," he replied.

“Quit it Braddey,” Connor said, and walked upstairs. I walked back to Brad to have a word with him about Connor.

“Hey bro, I wanna ask you something,” I started.

“Go on then.”

“Is it me or is Connor acting a bit strange lately?”

“Oh thank god I'm not the only one,” he chuckled. “Yep, it's not you, it's Connor,” he added.

I chuckled. I really do think that Connor's up with something. I'm guessing... he like likes my cute little cousin... a wild guess? I don't know, it's quite obvious when he's with her; and the idea just came to me. Of course why can I not know? He's a bestfriend! I know and I will.

“Well...” I looked at Brad. A moment of silence occupied the room and I spoke up again, with me and Brad now staring at each others wide eyes grinning from ear to ear, we had the same thought running in our minds. “OTP!!!” We screamed at the top of our lungs and erupted into laughters.

“I ship that shit,” I chirped, still laughing with Brad. Then we stopped ourselves considering the fact that maybe we were too loud, too loud enough for the outsiders to hear. “Wanna play CoD Ghosts?” I ran to the living room with Brad. “Oh you're on!” He shouted back.

(Penny's POV)

I woke up finding myself lying peacefully on my bed. How nice! But I swear that I slept downstairs... while watching a movie...

Holy shit. I remembered last night, I kissed Connor on the cheek! Why did I even freaking do that? Oh god this is gonna be so embarrassing.

I rubbed my forehead then my eyes as light struck my vision making me groan. I stood up from my bed and went to the bathroom to take a rejuvenating bath. I looked at my phone and saw the time. 8:36 a.m. Whoa! I am an early bird todayyy!

I stepped inside a shower and after minutes of humming and cleansing, I exited the bathroom and dressed myself up. I wore a big and baggy red hoodie, black leggings, and a pair of black Keds. I shuffled my hair into a high messy bun and snatched my phone and eyeglasses on the drawer. I forgot to tell you that due to the captivating and addicting world of books, literature, and fiction, my eyes got the hang of it and gradually they got a bit blurry. Okay well, it really got blurry.

I skipped downstairs and to my surprise there was Tristan leaning by the counter, eating bread. “Hey,” he said with his mouth full and smiled at me. I smiled back at him. “Hey, morning.”
