My Bestfriend's Brother

"hey Momma J, need any help?"

"yeah, what's for Lunch. I'm starving!" -Seth.

"I need you to cut down these vegetables while I start cutting the chicken. I'm making Cathy's  favorite, Chicken Stir Fry."

We were cutting the vegetables sitting by the stools watching when Sam entered the kitchen. Must've got home from his morning jog because he's just wearing his basketball shorts with his sweaty abs exposed. Mmm, 6 buns that are good enough to eat.

He noticed me checking him out, I saw him smirk and continued drinking his water. I felt my cheeks heat up.

It felt minutesvof silence unil Momma J spoke up, "Seth and Cath. Can you go by Iko's and pick up the pie I ordered."

My eyes beamed as I look up to her, "You didn't?"

"Oh. but I did. Its been a long time since you came here and I wanted to have your favorite. You know you are like a daughter of mine already," Momma Jacks said. Well I guess I should explain what is happening. Since the 8th grade Seth and I had an argument... I don't really remember why but it was kinda big for 8th graders, anyway I stopped visiting their place for like 3 days and when we made up Momma Jacks so happen to pass through a new bakery that just opened up. Iko’s. Momma Jacks said she missed me and wanna eat out so we decided to head down at Iko's. We tried the Coconut Cream Pie and I wil tell you it was to die for. I ate most of the pan and Momma Jacks was so amused. So she decided everytime that she misses me and she doesn't see me for at least a week, when we do she often orders the pie. Even if its because me and Seth had a fight, visiting or just simply busy she buys them when I come over.

"Mmhm. I kinda miss that. Come on Seth. My pie awaits. " I told him and then I turned and saw Sam just still staring at me. I just smirked because I caught him checking me out and he just grinned.

I then turned to Seth and gave him a knowing look to reach out to Sam, and it worked.

"Hey bro Wanna Join us?" Seth said and both her Mom and brother stared at him while I looked to Sam and waited for his reply.

"Yeah. You'll know where to buy my favorite pie." I winked at him so he'll get a hint and he nodded.

The ride to the Iko's was okay. Seth was Driving, Sam was on the passenger seat while I sat in the back. At first it was really awkward and Seth kept on looking at me through the rearview mirror, so I leaned forward and started talking to Sam. I gave him like a mini tour on our way there and shared a few memories about a few places we encounter on the way with Seth joining in our conversation every now and then.

We arrived at Iko's but greeted by an unfamillar blonde over at the counter.

"Goodmorning, what can I get you," she asked eyeing at the twins at the back then turned to me again with a cold expression.

I turned to the twins but Seth just shrugged and Sam was just looking at the few pastries.

"Uh yeah. Where's Rochelle?"

She went on the back a few minutes then a brunette in her mid thirties came in with a messy apron and a few flour on her shirt.

"They Cathy. My my you have grown," Rochelle exclaimed, and got out of the counter to hug me carefully not getting flour on my shirt.

"Yeah. And I kinda miss your pie."

"Well I made one hot from the oven specially made for you. And I want you to try some syrup I invented. Tell me how it tastes with the pie. Have your mother send me a feedback okay," she turned to the last part and he nodded. "Great. Josie get the boxes and the brown paperbag from the table inside."

We then noticed the blonde bimbo flirting with Sam by the corner and twirling her hair. When did she get back out here. I felt something inside but I quickly brushed it away. Rochelle.called her attention again and blushed at how she was caught flirting on the job by her boss.

It didn't take long for her to have a box and a paperbag with her rushing out. I gave them to the boys to carry and saw a peice of paper with her number on the box.

"This must be for you," I gave him the paper and saw him smirk. Rochelle walked us to our car.

Now the ride back was silent. I mean really. I was still pissed with Sam, I know I shouldn't be since we just went on a date and I don't even know if he really liked or he was just saying it last night, but tried to hide it. I just turned the radio on and sang One Way Or Another and Seth sang along which caused Sam to join with us.

Maybe the twins have a chance to be close. If they give each other a chance that is
