CHAPTER24

"Yo Feisty what sup?" Ryan asks as I walk into the kitchen. "Just great" I smile. Things between Lexis and I have been smooth, I won't say good but smooth. "Hey princess" "Stop calling me that" I glared. "As if" he snickered. "Pig" I muttered. "Okay that having said, you both are so weird and I know what weird is" Ryan nods. "Sure, well I have things to do other than being around you airhead" I glare at Lexis then smile sweetly at Ryan. "Oh if you're off to see Brooke, tell her I'm more than interested" he winked suggestively. Ever since he met Brooke, he has been flirting so much with her it's cute but he scares her. "No ew shit, she's taken" I dismissed calmly. I don't want to talk about Leon to anyone right now. "What the hell? Who's the unlucky fellow that I'm going to have to kill? He complained as I froze. "None of your business" I spoke calmly before walking out. God I really need to control myself; Ryan meant no harm and I just snapped. Dismissing the thought for later, I walked up to Aiden's house to thank him for seeing that I haven't done that. After ringing the doorbell I wanted for a few seconds before he opened the door "Hi" he breathed. "Hey Stalker, you haven't been following me around for like three weeks. I'm upset" I said jokingly. "Well, I happen to be resting from all the stalker work actually" he chuckled, allowing me to enter. "I haven't seen you in like forever. How are you?" "The real question is how are you?" He asks. "I'm great and why didn't I get to see you in the hospital?" "I had to fly out for some errands. I'm sorry" he smiled gently. "Well I forgive you" I say as I flopped on the couch. "You want to watch a movie?" He joins me on the couch. "Yes and I'm picking this time" I shout. "Ugghhh" he groans and I smile triumphantly. ......... "Hey" Lexis greets as I walk into the house. "Hi um is Ryan here?" I ask. I really need to apologize at my sudden outburst, he didn't deserve it. "No, he left some hours ago. He felt bad though" he shrugged not looking up from his laptop. "I know and which is why you're going to help me with an apology" I smile sweetly because I know I'll have to do more than that to get him to answer me. "No" he deadpanned. "Please" "No never" he dismissed then I kept quiet. Sitting down on the chair beside him I began humming and drumming on the table. That's one thing he hates especially when he's with his laptop. "Stop it" he demanded but I ignored him and continued. "Damnit fine" he shouted giving up. "Wow, you really aren't a tough nut to crack" I teased. "Go before I change my mind" "Fine" I shot up from my seat. "Good". Now what is left is how I would apologize. ......... "So let me get this straight, you want me to dress up as a bunny while you apologize Hell no" Lexis refused. "What do you mean no.  It's going to be fun trust me" I said in mock offense. "No meaning no. You still have Carter, he can help you with that" "Carter's too fat for the suit" I dismissed. "I heard that I'm just well built" Carter shouted from the other room. "Yeah sure, whatever floats your damn boat" Melia calls out. "I'm just going to act like I didn't hear what you just said" Brooke rolled her eyes. "Guys this is not the time to play. We need to get this in order" I demanded. "You know you could just walk up to him and apologize. No biggie but I'm just saying" Aiden spoke quickly. "See, Adrian is actually making sense here" Lexis agreed. "Aiden. The names Aiden" Aiden corrected. "Don't give a damn" "Look I don't care what you guys say. I'm going to do what I have to do and you all are helping" I said dismissing the topic. "Yes mum" Aiden laughed. ....... "Okay places people and when I mean places I mean get out of here" I shouted as Ryan walked up to the house. They all shuffled around and left leaving Lexis and I. "I still don't know why you're making me do this. This is the most stupid thing I've ever done and it's so unnecessary" he grumbled. "Shut up grumpy pants" I hit his chest as he continues muttering incoherent words. The only genuine reason why I'm making Lexis do this is to make fun of him because trust me, he looks hideous in that outfit. "Yo Lexis, you here?" Ryan called as he entered the house. "Ryan" I called in fake surprise. "Oh Feisty, so um listen if it's about what I sai-" "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap and it wasn't you trust me, it was me" I babbled. "Are you breaking up with me?" Ryan fake gasps and I chuckle. "It was just a touchy subject that's all" I assured him but he's attention seemed far off. "I still don't understand but what I want to know is why my best friend is dressed as a bunny" he laughs. "Not funny man, I don't even know why I agreed to this shit. It wasn't even useful" Lexis glared at me. "Yeah I know I just wanted to make fun of you" I dismissed as he flipped me a finger and walked off. "You're different you know?" Ryan says as he stops laughing. "What do you mean?" I asked genuinely confused. "Na never mind" "Hi Ryan" Brooke says as my friends walk-in. "Hey, beautiful" he replied causing her to groan. "Remind me never to greet you" "So Ryan, what exactly did you do to Looney or what did she do to you whichever" Carter asked causing me to tense up. Carter has er- very bad timings. "I don't know, something about Brooke's boyfriend" He shrugged causing Melia and Brooke to end their conversation. "Oh" they all replied. "Ooh, what's with the gloomy faces?" Lexis asked entering the room "As if your face is any better" I joked trying to relieve tension. "Fuck off" he replied. I was able to relieve the already growing tension then we watched a movie but we couldn't entirely enjoy it because Lexis kept complaining about how it was ladies movie and how he'd rather be caught dead than watch the movie. At the end of the end, we didn't get to finish it because we were too busy dealing with Lexis to know that the movie was still on. Yes, even Ryan. Carter's already female as far as I'm concerned. "Isn't it too late for you to be awake?. I mean it's two am" Lexis said as I walked into the living room "Uh I have freedom of movement and you are not my dad" I defended "What are you looking at?" I asked pointing to the picture on his lap "Nothing" his voice heard as he quickly turned the picture over "Sure? Because it didn't look like nothing" I pressed for some reason "Just leave it okay, don't ask about it anymore and please act like you've never come across this" his eyes boring into mine with a glint of anger. And we are back to square one.
