Chapter 33
I am in the middle of laughing at a random joke that Faith told me when the door to my house abruptly swings open.
I try to catch my breath as my mom gives me a weird look.
"Faith, did you break my daughter?" My mom asks
Faith chuckles at my mom only to shake her head.
"I told her a joke" she vaguely explains
I finally begin to calm down when my stomach begins to cramp painfully.
My mom nods her head before turning back towards me. She talks to me as she leads the two of us into the house.
"Amanda and your grandmother are coming over for dinner today" My mom informs me as she walks into the kitchen
I furrow my eyebrows at her.
Why is my grandmother coming over?
She never comes over unless she is picking up Haley and Isabella.
"Um, okay," I say with a skeptical tone of voice as she opens a random cabinet
She grabs two jars of spaghetti sauce making me smile.
We haven't had spaghetti in so long.
It is mainly used in our family whenever someone has big news to announce.
Wait-
"Are you and mother adopting another baby?!" I question
I try to keep my facial expression tense in case I end up being wrong but my tone of voice gives away my excitement.
"No, we're not allowed to" she answers with a slight laugh at my eagerness
I pout at the news.
"Can I invite my friends?" I ask
She thinks for a few seconds before nodding.
I smile and thank her before dragging Faith towards the staircase, ignoring Faith's complaints for me to slow down as we begin to climb said stairs.
Once we enter my bedroom I shut the door and throw my backpack onto my bed, taking a seat in my desk chair.
"She's hiding something" I state confidently
"What makes you say that?" Faith asks, taking a seat on my bed
"They only ever make spaghetti whenever they are going to make a big announcement," I answer
I grab my laptop from the corner of my desk and open it.
"They did it when they told me they were adopting me, they did it when they chose to adopt Isabella, same thing for Haley" I say as I begin to rapidly type on the device
Faith awkwardly clears her throat before speaking.
"They made spaghetti the first time I stayed for dinner" Faith states matter of factly
"No, they ordered it and pretended like they made it" I say making her jaw drop
I try not to laugh at her facial expression as I video chat Bailey and Aurelia.
A couple of long seconds go by before the black haired girl's face appears on my computer screen, as well as the brunette.
"Hey, Wilder" Bailey greets as she rolls onto her back
"Uh, hi to you too?" I reply
She looks like she is incredibly uncomfortable.
"Hello, girl of my dreams" Aurelia greets me cheekily
I roll my eyes at her as Faith walks up behind me to get a better look at the two girls.
"Shut up, Kingsbury," I tell her
I need to get this printed on a shirt so that I can just point to it when ever she does something like this.
"My mom is having this huge dinner and invited my family, you're invited so be here in two hours" I tell them
Aurelia laughs humorously at me while Bailey groans.
"I wanted to take a nap, Hanna" Bailey complains
"I'll let you have my dessert if you agree to come" Faith persuades
Bailey instantly perks up at the word 'dessert'.
"I will be there" she promises
I groan as I shake my head at the two of them.
I have some weird ass friends.
-
"Are you in love with my mother or something?" I tease as I walk up behind Aurelia
Okay that actually came out way more bitter than I intended it to.
Her and Bailey arrived an hour ago.
Faith and Bailey went off somewhere to talk privately, or sleep, I don't really know anymore.
My mom has been in the kitchen the whole time making the spaghetti. I asked her if she needed any help but she just shooed me out of the kitchen.
My mother practically dragged Aurelia into her office as soon as the black haired girl walked through the front door.
The grey eyed girl turns around to face me with an amused facial expression, shoving her cellphone in her back pocket.
"No, why?" She replies
She notices my crossed arms and leans back against the wall that it currently shielding is us away from my very horny parents.
I hope that they at least keep it in their pants.
"You've spent more time with her since you arrived than your own friends" I state with a small pout
Translation?
'You've spent more time with her since you arrived than me'.
She smiles at this, reaching out and carefully placing her hands on my hips. She gently pulls me towards her so that our chests are flush against each other.
"Jealous?" She teases as her eyes flicker down towards my lips
Me?
Jealous?!
"That's a funny joke, Kingsbury" I say humorlessly as my eyes zero in on hers
My heart jumps as her eyes flicker back up to connect with mine.
She brings one of her hands up to gently brush a strand of my blonde hair away from my eye and behind my ear.
"You have no reason to be jealous," she tells me, bringing her hand back down to comfortably wrap around my waist
"You will always be my first and only choice" she adds with a promising tone of voice
My heart warms at her heartfelt confession.
Fuck.
What do I do?!
I just continue to stare at her with a dumbfounded facial expression since I have no idea how to respond to her.
"Hey, Hanna, your mom wants you to- Oh," Faith says only to cut herself off
I quickly step away from Aurelia and awkwardly tighten my high ponytail as our friend looks between the two of us with an amused facial expression.
"I interrupted something, didn't it?" She guesses
I shake my head before clearing my throat.
"No, what's up?" I ask her
"Your mom wanted me to tell you to go open the door" she informs me making me furrow my eyebrows
Why do I have to get the door?
One, My mom is in the kitchen which is not even five feet away from the front door.
And two, Why couldn't she come in here and tell me herself.
Is she that busy getting some that she cannot walk a few steps?!
I begin to make my way towards the front door, passing by my parents in the process.
"Get a room" I tell the two adults who are making out against the counter
Great, now that image is going to haunt me until the end of time.
"We own this house, you and Aurelia should get a room" my mother replies as she pulls away from my mom
Oh god.
I remain silent as I try not to get embarrassed. I take a deep breath before grabbing the door handle and swinging the front door open.
"I brought presents" the guest says with a wide smile
Holy fucking shit!
"Aunt Carolina!" I yell excitedly as I practically attack her
Our aunt Carolina does not live within city limits therefore she rarely ever comes into town unless she is picking up my sisters.
"How have you been? How are Jersey and Knox?" I ask her
I pull away from her and drag her into the house, away from the freezing air.
She laughs at my eagerness as she hands me two boxes wrapped in Christmas themed wrapping paper.
"We're doing great, but Jersey misses you" she admits placing her pointer finger in front of her lips in a 'shh' motion
I smile at her 'secret' as Isabella and Haley run downstairs at the sight of our aunt.
I have no clue why I do not talk to our aunt anymore.
She was the one to give me the 'birds and the bees' talk when I was first entering middle school since she knew I did not feel comfortable having it with my parents.
I make my way towards the living room, where my friends are, while my parents make their way towards my aunt.
"Ooh, presents" Bailey comments from the loveseat making me laugh as I place them on the coffee table
I walk over to the couch, taking a seat in between Aurelia and Faith.
"Aren't you going to open them?" Aurelia asks with a confused tone of voice
"I don't want to seem rude" I try to explain
I do not want to make them feel awkward if I open my early Christmas presents in front of them.
"Nope, I'm curious as to what she got you this year" Faith voices with a smirk
I groan as a blush makes its way onto my face.
Aurelia furrows her brows at us, obviously not understanding what Faith was referring to.
"Two years ago, Hanna was telling her how she thought she was going to be single forever and she bought her-" Faith begins to tell her only to be cut off by me glaring at her
I dare her to finish that sentence.
"A pink, five inch, vibrating dildo" Bailey explicitly finishes making my eyes widen as they flicker towards the brunette
What the hell?!
What the actual hell?!
I need new friends.
These ones are broken, again.
"Is it good?" Aurelia teases with an amused facial expression
Oh my fucking god!
This is a disaster.
I embarrassedly place my face in my hands to hide my blush.
"I mean it was dead when I found it" Bailey adds
What the fuck, Bailey?!
"Why were you going through my stuff?" I question as I look at her with furrowed brows
"You told me to hand you a sports bra because the one you had on was making your nipples itch" she explains making my eyes widen
Fuck.
I can not believe that I forgot about that.
"Stop exposing me Bailey!" I exclaim making Faith and Aurelia laugh at my embarrassment
The brunette sits upright in the loveseat so that she is now taking up one cushion versus two.
"You asked" she defends with a shrug
I groan.
This is so embarrassing.
"Open your presents, the anticipation is killing me" Faith says excitedly
Ugh.
She should open them since she is so eager.
-
No fucking way!
This has to be a joke!
Bailey bursts into stomach aching laughter and practically flings herself back onto the loveseat.
Faith laughs as she looks between Aurelia and I with a knowing look.
Aurelia is completely silent beside me but I am too scared to even look at her reaction to this.
"You're definitely going to need that sooner than you think" Faith says
Lingerie.
She got me lingerie!
Not just any lingerie.
Lace lingerie!
"The dark blue is really going to make your eyes pop" Bailey jokes as she continues to laugh
"That won't be the only thing being popped" Faith adds making Bailey laugh harder
I finally get the courage to turn and face Aurelia only for my jaw to drop.
Her eyes are a darker shade of grey, her breathing is slightly accelerated, and she is distractedly biting her bottom lip.
She is not fucking picturing me in this lingerie set right now!
"Kingsbury, I swear to god if you're imagining me in this right now" I threaten making her roll her eyes
"Please, you wouldn't be complaining" she mutters loud enough so that only I could hear her
Oh my fucking goodness!
"Hanna, once you put that on it's game over" Bailey jokes, finally calming down
"Yeah, you'll be wrecked" Faith agrees making me squeeze my thighs together
No, Hanna!
You are not getting turned on by the idea of that!
"If you guys do not shut up in the next five seconds" I warn them
Bailey stands up from the couch and walks over to me with a serious look on her face.
"I'm telling you this for legal reasons," Bailey begins nervously
Obviously this piques my interest.
I sit up straighter in my seat.
"If you sit on her face make sure you don't suffocate her" she tells me with a serious facial expression, tilting her head to inconspicuously motion towards Aurelia
Faith instantly bursts into laughter beside me while Aurelia begins to crack up.
My jaw drops as the brunette bites her bottom lip to stop herself from laughing only to end up bursting into laughter too.
"Don't worry, she's a bottom," Aurelia teases
I turn to face her with wide eyes.
What is up with everyone exposing me today?!
"I wouldn't mind you sitting on my face" she whispers with a wink so that Bailey and Faith do not hear her
I glare at the grey eyed girl.
I will never sit on her face.
I refuse.
"I would strangle you with my thighs" I threaten between gritted teeth
She raises an amused brow at this.
"Kinky" she teases making my cheeks redden
Ugh.
Cocky fucking bastard.
"Hey, do you like your presents?" My aunt Carolina questions with a knowing look as she walks in on us
I am way too terrified to even open the second present.
"You bought me lace lingerie" I state dryly
She tries not to laugh as she takes a seat on the coffee table in front of me.
"Think of it as a family tradition," she says making me furrow my eyebrows at the woman
Uh, what?
"I did the same thing to your mom when she was sixteen" Carolina explains
My mom was a virgin at sixteen?
Damn, now I feel like a hoe for losing mine to Aurelia at fifteen.
"Not to disappoint, but you're kind of late, she isn't a vir-" Bailey begins to reveal making me glare at her
"Shut up, Bailey!" I exclaim
Oh my fucking goodness!
Do I need to tape her mouth shut?!
Carolina stares at me with an amused facial expression.
"I have to say that I'm surprised," she admits
Wow.
Way to bruise my already small ego.
"Please don't say it was to that weird Chad kid" she practically begs making Aurelia snicker from beside me
I quickly glare at the black haired girl before turning back towards my curious aunt.
"No, he and I were broken up for a month" I inform her before Bailey can open her mouth again
My math could be off but I am way too on edge to think about it.
She briefly glances between Aurelia and us before smirking.
"You lost it to her, didn't you?" She says motioning towards Kingsbury
What the-?!
How did she-?!
My eyes widen in shock making Bailey and Faith burst into laughter.
"No wonder I felt unsolved sexual tension in here," she mutters more-so to herself
I am so fucking confused.
"What's your name, sweetie?" Carolina politely asks Aurelia
"In the bedroom or to the public?" Bailey jokes making me glare at the brunette
My aunt laughs at that but chooses not to comment on it.
"Aurelia Kingsbury" Aurelia responds with a smile making my aunt gasp
"Amanda Kingsbury's daughter?" She questions
Uh.
Where is this going?
Aurelia nods her head making my aunts smile widen.
"We need to talk later about the Christmas party" she replies with a secretive wink
I furrow my brows as realization dawns on Aurelia's face and she nods her head.
Is she into older women or something?
First it was my mother, now my aunt.
Aurelia notices my facial expression and smiles. Grabbing my hand and placing a gentle kiss on my knuckles.
"Don't be jealous" she teases
I glare at her.
"Shut up, Kingsbury" I tell her
I pull my hand out of hers and cross my arms.
I ignore the fact that Faith and Bailey are watching us like a movie or some shit while my aunt is observing us with an amused facial expression.
"I love you too, princess" she responds
My cheeks begin to warm up at the affection in her tone of voice.
