|Chapter nineteen|

AARON'S POV—

"Lucas, I swear if you hit on her then I'll personally kill you."

"I'll take that threat lightly," I gave him a hard look, "but definitely consider it." He gave me a fake smile with thumbs up and I rolled my eyes.

"All behave—" my voice was cut short as I heard the doorbell ring. "I guess she's here."

I walked to the door and opened it revealing Skyler Grayson. She was wearing a black top and peach coloured shorts which was very casual but it looked nice on her. Usually if any girl come over my house their outfits barely cover their asses, but let's not talk about that.

"That was fast." I smirked at her and lead her inside.

"I like to be punctual." I chuckled.

We entered out living room where my obnoxious cousins were sitting.

Obnoxious? Yes, because they pretended not to see our presence.

"Wow....." Skye whispered as her eyes were open wide taking in the atmosphere.

I whispered in her ear, "don't worry, they're surely excited to meet ya."

There were actually five people in here excluding me and Muffin.

"So Muffin lettme introduce you to them and them to you. Well let's start from here, the one on the left couch are Scott and Greg and both of them are 13 and are apparently twins, like you can see from their appearance." Muffin waved at them.

"And this is one of my brothers— unfortunately— Lucas and he's 20."

Lucas smiled at her. "Nice to meet you Muffin. Cute name though." He chuckled at the last sentence.

"I'm not Muffin. People call me Skyler but some idiots can't seem to call me by that name." She said glaring at me and I stifled a laugh.

Cedric came towards her and pinched her cheeks. "Hey Skyler-Wyler."

Well........Cedric. Cedric Walker.

I don't think he's been introduced yet. Well firstly he is related to me as in he's my real brother who goes to the school as me because of which, obviously Skyler knows him. Cedric was out of country these past few weeks for his studies and now he's back. I guess Skyler and Cedric are certainly friends.

Cedric was 17, the same age as Muffin.
I was 18 by the way. I don't know why I'm telling but I just felt like telling it.

Muffin rolled her eyes at the greeting by Cedric. "Hey Cedric-Wedric, I didn't know you were related to Jerk."

Cedric chuckled. "Jerk has trouble remembering that too."

"Shut the hell up dude." I said to him.

"Anyway, you don't get to call me Cedric-Wedric, I hope we're clear." Cedric said to Skyler.

"You also don't get to call me Skyler-Wyler, I hope we're clear." She mocked him and I laughed.

Cedric laughed. "I'll see you around Skyler." With that he sauntered upstairs.

Carter came towards her and judged her by looking intently at her. He openly looked at her up and down and made a sound 'hmm'. Skye was confused.

"Guys! This girl is actually different from all the other that Aaron had brought home. And I like her already." And then he turned to her, "by the way, I'm Carter and I'm 8. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." He barely got the last word.
