Tricks Of The Trade

Chapter 10 - Party plan

"David!" I hiss, knocking on the door.

"David!" I call. A little louder this time. The door opens to reveal a confused David. "Sam? Are you oka-holy shit" he notices that I'm actually standing in my underwear. "Yeah yeah, whatever quick I passed a police car and if they catch me it'll be a third warning and I can't go to jail again! I just can't-" my rambling is cut short when I notice his eyes are still wide as saucers. Damn I should of brought my towel... His eyes scan my body up and down and I squirm a little under his gaze. I frown. "When your done checking me out I would appreciate it if I could come in and you could get me some clothes." He snaps out of it, shaking his head a little. "Yeah..sorry, come on in" I walk in, feeling a little self conscious.

(Libby's P.O.V)

"Yeah I feel your pain when it comes to braces" he laughs loudly.

"Why didn't you get colour on yours?" I ask. He shrugs. "They didn't give me the option"

"I think silver suits you" I state.

"Thanks. I like your purple ones" he smiles. His expression changes when he sees my hand.

"Shit your hand's bleeding" he looks down at my hand. I must of hit that guy pretty hard...

"Oh it was, but it's fine now"

"You should clean that"

"I'm almost home anyways" I shrug.

It's silent apart from the slight thuds of his crutches hitting the pavement. "How did you even break your leg?" He blushes slightly. Aww.

"I uh...went to this party and got shit-faced and...i uh....jumped off a roof on an inflatable dolphin into a pool..." I blink trying not to laugh. "unfortunately...I was in my boxers and i kind of missed the pool..." I burst out laughing and he rolls his eyes. "It has 400 hits on youtube and I think one of my friends sent it in to you've been framed" he looks down and smiles sheepishly.

"That's awesome! Crazy but awesome!" I hold my hand up for a high five and he accepts, hitting our palms together lightly.

"Are you sure you wanna walk me home? Won't it be a little difficult with your leg and all?" I ask.

"Nah I'm good with walking you home." He smiles cheekily.

"I feel like I should be walking you home..." I tease, poking his stomach playfully. He chuckles.

"I could drop you off in my car once we get to my house?" I offer. He nods. "That'd be great" he smiles. "A little emasculating but great" i laugh.

"Hey do you know what time it is?" He asks. I shrug, pulling out my phone. "It's ten past five" I read out the time on my phone. Wait. 4 missed calls from Sam, 1 from Natalie, 3 from Josh and 2 from my mom. Lovely. The perks of leaving your phone on silent. I roll my eyes. Eugh. "Is there something wrong?" Dylan asks, his eyebrows furrowing. I wave my hand, dismissing the question. "Nah everything's fine i've just got a few missed calls.." He smiles understandingly and I put my phone back in my pocket. Meh, I'll call them back later.

------------------------------

"I'M HOME!" I shout, closing the door behind me.

"Woah" Dylan mutters, eyeing my house. It's big yeah, but there's 12 of us, not including the cat.

"Yeah, yeah I know" I roll my eyes.

I turn around again, bumping into him. "Oh..uh sorry just uh, like stay here" I mumble. He just chuckles as I run upstairs to get my car keys. Well that was sufficiently awkward... I snatch the keys from my dresser and skip downstairs. Dylan's standing there in the hall where I left him, surrounded by Josh, Finn and...Cameron? Josh turns to me and I freeze, sighing. "Who's the dude?" He accuses, his glare not leaving Dylan. I stare at Dylan. He doesn't seem to falter under their glares but looks somewhat smug as he stares directly at Cameron. "Just a dude" I state, walking back towards the door. Josh lets out a grunt.

I go to walk out the door but someone grabs my arm. "I gotta ask you something first" Josh declares, pulling my into the kitchen before I can object. I send an apologetic look to Dylan but he shrugs, sending me an innocent look. I melt a little. Cute Little motherfuc-"Lib"

"What?"

"What's with the dude?"

"That dude?"

"Eugh, nevermind I need to ask you something"

"Yeah?" His eyes seem to gleam with mischief.

"We're having a party" i furrow my eyebrows. "You in?"

"What about mom and dad? And Tess and Zoe and Ally and Lilly and-"

"They're going to visit aunt Trish in LA" he announces. I cross my arms.

"And we're not?"

"Nah, I convinced dad that You, me, Finn and Natalie have to stay to babysit for miss Glinsky"

"He is an idiot"

"Yup"

"Sure okay, when?"

"Saturday"

"This saturday?"

"By the way your band's gonna play"

"Um..sure?"

"Great! Thanks Lib" he hugs me. My mind races with song possibilities.

I race through the hall and to the front door and pat Dylan's back, opening the front door and leading him out. He hobbles with a bit of difficulty and I hold his shoulder, kind of supporting him. I hear Cameron scoff behind me and I turn and send him a glare. He just shoves his hands into his pockets, sending me a wink. I send him an innocent smile, flipping him off.
