My brother's best friend

Chapter 42 - Lucas chill

I was watching Netflix as my alarm that I put for 1 hour beeped. It's been 1 hour since Shawn left and I have no idea where he went. I walked out of my room to the kitchen, I made myself a toast with cream cheese.

It's 7:45, Lucas walks out of his room. "Good morning" he says like he didn't already talk to me this morning. "Hey Lucas, good morning" I replay.

"Hey, so Aaliyah texted me like 10 minutes ago that there was an emergency at their house and Shawn had to go there in the middle of the night.. I guess he forgot his phone here when he left." He says pouring himself a coffee. "She said he'll be back later today" he continues. Wow that's actually really clever. I never thought Aaliyah would play along with this. And how did he even think about that? I would never think about anything like that.

"Ok, so I'm going back to my room, tell me when Shawn gets back I need the car" he says and he takes his coffee to his room. I wonder how many coffees he drinks a day. He literally drank a coffee an hour ago...

Lately I feel like all Lucas cares about is work. Seriously, he is never really talking to me like he used to. Only if it's like, hey happy birthday, or, do you know where Shawn is?

And I've had enough of it. Why can't he just act like a normal brother and talk to me like normal brothers do? I feel like he is only my roommate, and not my brother. And that sucks. Maybe that's why I'm so afraid of telling him about Shawn, because I don't really feel the connection between us anymore.

"Hello?" I answer my phone. Aaliyah called me, it was weird seeing her name popping up on my screen. We didn't talk in a while.

"What did you think about my idea?" I hear Shawn's voice. "Wait did Lucas tell you?" He asks.

"Yes he told me, it was brilliant. I can't believe I didn't think of that" I say.

"Well, that's me. I'm brilliant" he says. I giggle and as I giggle I realize that Lucas can probably hear everything so I go to my room.

"So, I thought about it. And Lucas is flying In 2 days. And we are flying in 4 days.." he says.

"I didn't say I was coming." I say. "Oh but you are." He says smiling, I know he is smiling, even without seeing him, Believe me. I'm smiling too.

"I'm gonna stay here for a while with my family, at first I said I'll stay over at your house for only few days but I guess I stayed, and I will stay a little longer, so I'm just going to spend the day here..." he says. "If that's ok with you" he adds.

"Why wouldn't it be ok with me?" I ask. "Oh I just, I don't know... never mind" he says.

"Oh but Lucas wants the car" I suddenly remembered. "He said he needs to go to work or whatever"

"Fine. Tell him I'll come in a couple of hours" he says.

"Ok." I say. "And than we will have all the day to ourselves" he says humming.

"Who are you talking to? It's been forever" I hear Aaliyah's voice in the background. "No one, I'll be out in a second" he says "fine.." she says.

"Sorry about that.." Shawn apologizes. "You don't have to apologize it's fine." I say giggling. "Wait why is everyone awake? I mean, it's not even 8 am" I say "I don't know, I just came here and everyone were awake" he says. "Ok..."

"Ok, look I need to go. I'll be back later. See you soon, bye" he says. "Bye" I say and I hang up.

Lucas opens the door to my room with a suspicious look just as I hang up.

"Who were you talking to?" He asks. Bitch, were you spying on me? "No one" I say as an instinct.

"You sounded pretty flirty" he says. "How do you know? Did you spy on me?" I ask.

"Yes. I did" he says not even twitching his eye. "What?" I'm shocked "at least try to deny it." I say. "Who was it?" he asks. "No one, jeez I wasn't even flirting." I say. "Show me your phone" He says. "Oh my god what has gotten in to you?" I ask.

Lucas doesn't care about what I say and he takes the phone out of my hand. "Stop it Lucas, what the fuck" I say coming to my phone and he manages to move from me and still hold my phone. "Aaliyah?" He says confused.

Phew.... I was so scared I totally forgot I was talking to Shawn through Aaliyah's phone. "Yeah... what's the problem?" I ask trying to hide the fact that I didn't talk to her. "Nothing, I just didn't know you guys are still talking" he says. "Well we are." I say taking my phone back. "Now get the fuck out of my room you freak." I say pushing him out "oh and even if I was flirting, I can do whatever I fucking want because I'm not a fucking baby anymore" I say. And I shut the door in his face.

Wow I really fucking snapped.
