The Other Side Of Me ✔️ | Garroth x Laurence x Reader PDH

Chapter 19

"Woah. Your room is so cool." Dante's says, dropping his bag and gazing around my room. I grin and sit on my bed.
"Thanks! I worked hard on decorating it." I say cheerfully. He walks over and sits next to me. My room wasn't much, but it was my favorite place to be. My bed was a double and super soft. I also had a desk and a corner that had a couple bean bags beside it. There was also a window seat. I could sit on it and look out into the street, as well as be surrounded by comfy cushions. There was also a few racks of art supplies next to it, hanging off the wall. I guess I'm a little artistic.

We both brainstorm ideas for a while until we find the right song. I'm actually surprised. At school he's such a flirt, so I was a little worried about hanging out with him alone. But there's no need. He's really cool when he doesn't toy with me and flirt. We finally find the perfect song for the both of us. We talk a little before he goes home.

"Oh yeah! My brother has actually mentioned you." He says. I raise an eyebrow.
"Why would Gene talk about me?" I ask, almost to myself. He shrugs.
"I'm not sure. I overheard him talking about you with his friends." He admits. I hear a noise and immediately look to my door. Dante follows my gaze.
"Is someone..." He starts. I nod.
"Shh. It's probably my brothers." I say, whispering. I sneak over and study the door. My room was covered in soundproofing foam, so they could hardly hear what I did. Which is why they would try to get in...

Dante walks over and leans next to the door. He smiles awkwardly. I lightly giggle.
"They do this all the time. It's starting to get annoying." I whisper, sure that they wouldn't hear me. The rattling continues.
"Wait." He says, peeking up and smiling evilly. I tilt my head. "Why don't we prank them instead, y'know, scare them a little?" He says. I nod slowly.
"And that would be?" I ask. He straightens and smirks.

"Y/N? I was wondering... would you like to be my girlfriend?" He says loudly, winking. I almost break out laughing when I realize his plan. I give him a thumbs up. The door handle stops fidgeting
"Of course! I thought you'd never ask!" I scream. He chuckles a little at my dramatic acting.
"Can I kiss you?" He shouts.
"Yes!" I scream. At that moment the door swings open to reveal a panic stricken Garroth and Nathan.
"NO!" They both yell. We almost fall to the floor laughing.

"Got you two!" I say through laughing. Nathan was about to corner Dante, but his head whips around when I say that. Garroth turns a light pink.
"Oh.. So you two weren't.." He says, almost relived. I grin widely and raise an eyebrow.
"Why are you relieved?" I ask suspiciously. He scratches the back of neck.
"O-Oh. It's nothing." He says, averting his gaze. Dante walks up to us.
"Aww. Is Garroth jealous?" He cooes. Garroth pushes him away and crosses his arms.
"No! Nathan was concerned as to what was happening." He yells defensively. My heart feels like it sinks when he says that, but rises when I think about how funny it was.

"Anyways, we're done with choosing our song. Did you two pick yours?" I ask. They nod proudly.
"Of course! Why else would we have free time to spy on you?" Nathan says smugly. I roll my eyes and chuckle.
"Sounds about right." I turn to Dante, who was looking at his phone sadly.
"I got to go. This was fun though." He says cheerfully. "Except for the fun killers here." He smirks and looks at Nathan and Garroth. Nathan scoffs.
"I'm just looking out for my sister. You should stop flirting with her." He says seriously, giving Dante a death stare. He holds his hands up defensively and grins.
"Yeah yeah, I'm going." he says, hoisting his bag on his shoulders.

He starts to walk to the stairs. I follow him and say goodbye at the door. I turn to see Garroth standing behind me. I grin and puts my hands on my hips.
"At this rate, I think you want me to bump into you." I giggle. He shakes his head and stares at me.
"I lied." He says simply. I frown.
"About?" I ask.
"I really was jealous for a second." He says, smiling. It fades though. I smile nervously and blush, realizing how close he was to me.
"You two kind of deserved it. You broke into my room." I say quickly, trying to break eye contact but failing. He closes the gap until I feel his warm breathe.

Someone clears their throat behind him and he immediately jerks up and spins. I see Nathan tapping his foot and standing with his arms crossed, looking upset.
"Really?" He asks plainly, glaring at Garroth. He scratches his neck and chuckles.
"Sorry." He says. He turns around and leans in to my ear. "Maybe later." He says. I shiver at both his breathe and closeness.

He pulls away and grins at a very upset Nathan. My jaw drops. Did he really do that in front of MY little brother. Nathan looks like he wants to rip him to shreds. I step in between them and look disapprovingly at them both. Garroth looks calm while Nathan could literally spit fire.

I walk over and hug Nathan, holding him up and spinning him. He doesn't hug back, but doesn't struggle.
"Don't worry baby brother." I say, putting him down and grinning widely. I hear Garroth chuckle.
"That's cute." He says chuckling. I see Nathan raise an eyebrow.
"How so?" He asks. He shrugs.
"I call my little brother that. And it annoys him more then it does you." He smiles, flinging his bag on his back.
"I have to go. I'll see you two later." He says, opening and walking out the door, closing it behind him.

I turn to Nathan, who looks disappointed.
"What? I didn't ask him to." I say, shrugging and running up the stairs. I lock my door and flop on my bed, staring at my clock. Four days until the weekend.
