"I'm liking what you've done with the place so far." Lilly said to Val as she looked around at the newly remodeled home"Thank you, since there's been kids running around for the past twenty years Ryan and I or more so me, are now able to fix it up more."
"It looks nice, maybe I should get something done to my place as well."
Val smiled, "And how will Aiden take to the new remodeling you plan on doing?"
"It doesn't concern him, I could care less what he thinks." She huffed while folding her arms
"Uh oh, it sounds like someone's in trouble. What's going on with you two? What did he do?"
"Nothing ma," She sighed
"It doesn't sound like nothing to me. Trust me honey, I've been down that road numerous times so I know what you're feeling, you know you can talk to me about anything."
"I know I can ma, but I promise you everything is good, we're just going through some things right now but we're gonna be okay."
"That's good, I'm glad you two are being adults and are working out your own problems, and figuring things out for yourself, but just know that I'm always here for you no matter what."
"Thanks mom, I appreciate it." Lilly said giving Val a hug
"If it isn't our favorite sister in the entire world!" Isaiah said to Lilly as she was leaving her parent's house
"You look so radiant and beautiful, what have you been doing lately?" Zayn asked
"No wait never mind, don't even tell me, for one it's probably a secret and two it's a nasty thing.""What do you two crooks want?" She asked folding her arms
"Whoa! Crooks?! Come on now Lil, you know us better than that, Zayn and I are no crooks."
"Yeah, we simply came here on behalf of our boy, Aiden." Zayn said
"Your boy, Aiden, huh? Well you tell your boy that whenever he's ready he can come get his shit out of my house so he can stay with y'all permanently."
"Aw come on now Lil, you don't mean that." Zayn said
"Yeah, you love him and don't try and deny it." Isaiah added
"He lied to me all because of you two! All three of you deserve each other!"
"We're sorry we talked him into lying to you about the money, but let's face it, if Zayn and I would've came to you ourselves and asked for the money, would you have given it to us?"
Lilly scoffed, "Hell no."
"Exactly! That's why we asked Aiden, we knew you wouldn't mind giving him the money, but what we didn't know was that he would tell you it was for a wedding ring."
"Yeah, at least we told him to make up a believable lie that would make sense." Zayn said
"Had we've known he would say it was for a ring we wouldn't have went forth with it, and we swear on everything we love, we would've never did anything like that to you. We know you were upset and angry, and we hate to see our sisters cry, we will do anything for you to see you smile and you know that."
She sighed, "At least you two were man enough to come to me and tell me the truth, so for that, I can't be that upset with y'all anymore."
"Oh good! So does this mean Aiden can come back?" Zayn asked hopefully
"Hell no! I'm actually liking it that he's not around, I get the whole bed to myself and I don't have to worry about anyone else, it feels so nice."
"Listen, I've never begged anyone in my entire life for anything, but right now I'm gonna do something that I've never done before and that's get on my knees and plead with you to take him back." Isaiah said as he got on both knees, grabbed her hand and started pleading with her
"Please! Take him back, he's getting on our nerves! He won't shut up!"
"That's your fucking problem, not mines!" She said trying to pull her hand away to leave and that's when Zayn got down on his knees and grabbed her leg
"Please Lil! We're desperate! We'll do anything you want." Zayn said
"You can start by letting me go."
"No! You gotta take him back, that's the only way we'll let go." Isaiah said
"He's not that bad is he?"
"I've never seen a grown man cry so much; day and night that's all he does is cry. We haven't had a decent night's sleep in three days because of his whining. And all during the day he's staring at your picture on his phone saying I'm sorry."
"He's really missing me that much?" She asked in a surprised tone
"Yes! You're all this man talks about, from your favorite food to color, which type of shoes you like to wear with certain dresses. This man is clearly obsessed with you and I'm pleading with you to please take him back, I don't know if I can take another night of him crying and telling me how much you love the movie, Casablanca." Zayn said
Lilly internally smiled, "So he's practically miserable without me?"
"Very, anytime we try to get his mind off of you, he will soon say, I wonder what Lilly's doing right now? I wish I could be with her right now." Isaiah said
"Gee I don't know y'all, I'm not sure if I can put up with that myself. What if he starts to relive this whole fiasco again and begins to breakdown? I don't think I can handle it."
"Sure you can and there will be no reliving this moment, we can promise you that on everything we love." Zayn said
"Are you sure? How can I trust you?"
"If not we'll take full responsibility for everything and do whatever you want, you name it." Isaiah said as Lilly gave a small smile
"Alright, I'll take him back." She said as they both sighed with relief
"Oh thank God!" Zayn said hugging her
"Ok, ok! Now will the two of you get off me."
"We're just glad you accept our apology and will take him back, we can't thank you enough." Isaiah said
"And we're also glad there's no hard feelings." Zayn added as she smirked
"Of course not, I wouldn't dream of holding this against you two forever."
"Uh oh, that look. That's the same look grandma gives when she's pissed off." Isaiah said
"Tell Aiden to call me when he decides to come home." She said and began to walk away
"I hate to be Aiden right now, he's gonna meet satan's daughter, but shit, I'm glad he's leaving he was giving me a headache." Zayn said
"Yeah, we'll pray for him. Come on let's see what ma has to eat. "
Did you expect Lilly to take Aiden back?
What will happen when he gets back home?
