HIS TO LOVE

Gossip.

Amelia walked up to Chris's house and knocked on the door softly, After a few minutes he answered the door in his christmas Pajamas she bought him the year before

"Hey Lia...What's up?" He asked as he yawned, She sighed out as she placed her hand over her forehead, She looked down at her phone that read

12:30pm

"Chris...Why the hell aren't you dressed yet?" She asked taking a deep breath

"...Why the fuck would i be dressed at 8 in the morning on a Saturday Lia?" He asked staring at her like she had just grown another head, Amelia just looked at him for a minute

"First off, It's almost 1 in the afternoon and second, We were supposed to go get malia so we could go to the movies" she finished with a pout upon her lips

"Oh damn, I totally forgot. Let me get dressed reals quick" he said as she entered his house, She just shook her head as he ran up to his room to change.

She sat on his sofa reliving what had happened at Maddox's house

'Why did i kiss him back...Because you wanted to, Duh...Yeah but why did i want to...He is hot as hell, he has great hair, and his eyes are an ocean you could get lost in, What's not to like?...Nothing so far, That's the problem' she fought with herself
"

K, I'm ready" chris said bringing Amelia out of her thoughts

"Cool, Let's go" she said standing up grabbing her purse

"You wanna take my truck or you wanna walk?" He asked with his mouth full as he kept chewing on the already half devoured apple

"Truck please" she answered walking to the front door

"Truck it is" Chris said grabbing his keys from the holder on the counter,
A

s they got into the truck Chris stopped completely and stared at Amelia

"...Whats wrong?" She asked staring back at him

"Lia...Did someone hit you?" He asked concerned as he looked at her face closely

"No, What do you mean?" She asked touching her face

"Both of your cheeks are bright red" he said in his serious voice

"No one hit me Chris, Its probably just the cold air, You know how it gets" she reassured him, He slowly nodded his head in remembrance, 'If only he knew' she thought as they drove down the street.

"So Malia, How do you like your new step family?" Chris asked as he placed some shirt in the cart that Amelia wanted to get for him, "Donovan is pretty cool, I haven't seen my mom this happy in a long time" she explained as she picked out a pink crop top.

"What about Xylan?" Amelia asked as she pushed the cart forward a bit

"I hate him" she spoke in a deadpanned tone, Making Amelia and Chris laugh out

"He's pretty chill around me" Chris shrugged as Amelia nodded in agreement

"Yeah, Around you. I'm telling you, He hates me" she spoke as she sipped her coffee

"I'm sure he doesn't hate you Mal" Amelia reassured her

"Well, If he doesn't he should, Because the feeling would definitely be mutual" she mumbled as she threw a chocolate bar in the cart

"Yo, I'm going to the food court. Be back" Chris said as he walked off in the other direction

"K" both girls said in unison.

"I'm totally getting this" Malia held up a purple wrap around crop top

"That is definitely you" Amelia spoke as she placed it in the cart

"I know right, Wanna be matchy?" Malia asked pouting

"Of course" Amelia said rolling her eyes,
M

alia giggled out as she picked one out for her

"I have to tell you something, Before chris gets back" Amelia spoke as she leaned on the handle of the cart

"Yeah, What's up?" Malia asked standing next to her

"Okay, I'm sure Chris told you about my new neighbor?" She started as Malia nodded

"Yeah, Some guy with a staring problem right?" Malia spoke as she started laughing

"Something like that. Anyway, It's Matthew's brother" she explained as Malia looked at her in shock

"Wait, Maddox or Gerald?" She asked as she was confused

"Maddox, But that's not the worst part" she spoke as she moved the cart to the side

"Worst part?" Malia asked still confused

"My mom wanted me to give him a fruit basket, You know to be neighborly? Like she always does. Anyway, He...He kissed me" Amelia rambled on, Realization dawned on Malia
"

Are you serious Lia" she bumped Amelia's arm playfully as she spoke

"Oh that's not all...He called me his" she finished blowing out a breath

"Wow, Layla is gonna love this, You guys are gonna be sisters" Malia giggled as she spoke,
A

melia hit her on the arm

"No we won't" she whined as Malia looked at her in mocked horror

"You don't want to be Lay's sister?" She taunted as she gasped

"That's not what I meant, I love Layla. Me and Maddox would never happen, Chris would flip. Oh god, What about Lucas? Lucas would kill him" she spoke as she shook Malia back and forth

"Chill Lia, It's not that big of a deal" Malia said wiggling out of her grasp

"What's not a big deal?" Chris asked as he walked towards them with a slice of pizza.

Amelia looked at Malia pleadingly

"Uh, Period cramps" she spoke as she pulled Amelia along with her, Leaving Chris standing there questioning his life choices.
