Chapter 6: Sweet and sour toppings

Peter headed back towards the living room as he sat back down looking towards the T.V which Anna rolled eyes at as she grabbed her bags rolling her eyes once more in his direction.

“Really Peter?...if you were going for the Alpha jerk vibe you’ve got full marks from me, congratulations.” Her sarcasm did nothing but cause his frown to deepen.

“I’m looking out for her Anna, there’s no fault in a guy looking out for his best friend, for all we know he’s planning to take advantage or worse cut her up into tiny little pieces and send them through the mail. Plus did you hear the way he spoke hmmm?...making out to be some kinda southern gentlemen. When you could clearly see being gentlemen was the last thing on his mind.”

His voice became louder and more dramatic with every statement which amused Anna to no end.

“Your over reacting, do you know you sound like some over protective mad man right?.....she’s a grown women Peter, it’s normal for women to go on dates. Just thought I’d let you know seeing as you don’t actually date women per say.”

She spoke as she watched him shake his head as he watched the T.V not wanting to look at her which only made her own head shake. “I’m going anyway, the kids are more then likely using the house as a playground as we speak, with the help of Justin no doubt…anyway see ya.”

After her departure he let out a much needed breath as his mind replayed on what happened mere minutes ago, he hadn’t seen that look on her face since high school when she had that silly crush on Tommy Carmichael.

Who was Lucy’s class president and close friend in 8th grade which of course Peter and his jock friends put a stop to quickly by putting him number one on his bully list to torment with as he pleased.

Which Lucy was oblivious to due to studies and band practices thank god, he knew people would think he was being a little crazy but to him it  needed to be done in order to protect her from the low lives of the world as he would like to put it.

To him Lucy deserved the best kind of guy, which Peter had failed to see yet or so he’d like to think.

He felt his stomach become uneasy which he blamed on the meat from his sandwich that “must” have been out of date. He rubbed his stomach trying to ease the uncomftable ache, he began to close his eyes when his phone began to ring making him pick it up in record time thinking Lucy may be in distress when a overly sexual voice answered instead, which wasn’t what he expected.

“Hey Peter it’s Carla...I just thought instead of going out tonight I could come over and-”

“Look…Carla I’m not feeling too good so I’m just gonna leave it tonight.”

“But....”

“Bye.”

Peter shut his phone off and placed it in his pocket as he made his way towards his bedroom planning for early night while hoping he could sleep without worrying about what his cupcake was up to.

“Here’s your table, please take a seat and I’ll be back with refreshments.”

 Lucy gave a quiet thank you while Mike gave him a nod before watching the waiter retreat.
