" What,,they didn't come here??" Ethan asked in surprise when they got home and couldn't find Lisa and Michael.
" Have they gone home?? " Sharon asked
" Call him " Florence said
" He's not picking up " Noah said
They all sighed and sat down,,,
" Can't believe am hungry " Lily said touching her tummy,she chuckled
" Me too " Noah said touching his belly too
" Well,,if you're hungry. Go and cook" Gavin smirked
" That's a great idea,,do you guys have ramen?? It's my favorite " Lily said
" A lot " Gavin replied
" Noah let's go,,,,who else wanna eat??" She asked
" Everyone " They all chorused
" What?? Everyone?? So why are we the only one going into the kitchen??" Noah asked
" Like you don't want it " Sharon said and they all laughed
Lily smiled shyly and pulled Noah along with her,,
" The two look cute together " Florence whispered
" You and Ethan look good together " Sharon snapped
" Am worried,,, " Ethan said trying to cover the topic
" Same here " Gavin Sighed
" Come on Michael, let's just go back " Lisa said
" Are you sure about that? Am just, worried " Michael said and stopped the car
" I told you I will be fine " Lisa said
He nodded and turned back,,,
" They should be home my now,," Michael said heading to Gavin's house
" Yeah,,," Lisa agreed
" Anna called,,,I told her you're fine " Michael said
" But she didn't call me "
" Does she have to do that?? Am the man " He winked
" Man indeed " Lisa laughed.
" Lisa,,,you're not a bit*h to me, you know that right?? " He asked and hold her hand
" I know " She replied with a smile
" Good thing you know,,, so don't think about what that bastard said. Am not going to leave you,,never " He said and kissed her hand
Lisa blushed and cleared her throat,
" Let's go,they are probably waiting for us " Lisa said
" Okay" He started the car immediately,
Soon they got to Gavin's house,,they went in and the others were surprised,
" Wow,you came back " Ethan said with a smile
" You look happy to see us " Lisa smirked
" Of course,," Gavin said
Michael rolled his eyes and went to grab a bottle water from the dinning room,, it's not his first time coming here anyway.
" How about Lily and Noah??" He asked and sat down
" They are cooking in the kitchen " Florence replied
" For themselves?? " Lisa asked
" No,,for everyone " Gavin winked
" Oh,,,," Michael and Lisa muttered
" Hey careful with that " Noah said as Lily slice the onions
" It's not my first time doing this,, " Lily said
" I was just concerned,,I don't want you to get hurt " Noah said
" Thanks " Lily smiled
‘ Her smile is so beautiful' Noah thought and keep in starring at her
" Hey Noah,,what are you thinking?? Help me with the bowl,I guess am too short " Lily said as she tried getting it but her hand couldn't reach
Noah moved closer and took the bowl proudly,,
" Am tall,," He winked
" I know,, and it's cool. I wish am tall too " She teased
" I love you this way,,if you're too tall,then you won't need my help next time " Noah said and Lily hit his chest
" That's harsh " She smiled
" Sorry " He smiled,,,,,
" Taste the sauce " Lily said bringing it close to his mouth
He ate it from the spoon and moaned
" Wow,,it's great,,more more " he said
" What?? It's for everyone, I only wanted you to check if it's okay " Lily said
" It's really good,,now am more hungry " He said and sat down on the kitchen table,,
" That's funny,," Lily said without smiling
" But you're not even smiling, and you find it funny?? Noah asked playing with his hair
" I laughed inwardly " She replied
" Now that's weird " Noah said and they both laughed
" Did you hear them laughing?? Wow,, can't wait to hear the gist " Ethan said
" Hmm" Gavin said and the others laughed
" What's funny??" he asked
They all kept quiet,,
" Guys, let's play a game " Florence suddenly said
" Truth and Dare!!" Gavin shouted
" Am not in,," Lisa immediately spoke up
" Why?? It's always amazing " Ethan said
" I don't like it " Lisa rolled her eyes
" Good for you,,everyone is doing it " Gavin said with a smirk
" Then don't choose dare" Michael whispered to her
" Hmmm,you're right " She smiled and poke his cheek softly
" Don't do that here " Ethan scoffed
" Then get a girlfriend " Lisa said
" Not now,,," He replied
" Guys,,let's eat " Lily ran in
" Wow,,I smell something delicious " Lisa teased
" Well,,sorry,,,you're not going to eat out of it " Lily smirked
" Great,," Lisa said and rest her head on Michael's shoulder
He seem to be busy with his phone,, she grab the phone from him
" Oh no,,give me that " He said trying to get it from her
" Is your phone more important than your girlfriend ?" Lisa asked
" No,,,,but can you give me back?? "
" No way,,,are you talking with another girl?? " She teased making a puppy face
" That's funny,,fine you can have the phone " He said
" You guys should stop your hot play and come here " Ethan said
" Thought you didn't prepare ours " Michael said not looking up
" I was kidding " Lily replied
" Am not hungry " Michael said
" But am hungry " Lisa pouted.
" Then go on and eat,, give me the phone. I promise to give you when you're back " he said
" Let's eat together, I can't eat alone " Lisa said
" More than five people are eating Lisa,, I am not hungry, seriously " Michael said
" Fine" She gave him the phone and joined others
" Michael, you're not really hungry? " Sharon asked
" Am not " He replied
After eating,, Lisa and Lily went to do the dishes,,,they washed in silence, only the sound of the plates and water could be heard. Until Lily broke the silence,
" You didn't tell me about you and Michael,, I guess we are not close to that " She said
" Am sorry about that " Lisa said
" It's fine,,,, now I know. Stupid me,,crushing on someone's boyfriend " Lily said with a smile
" Oh,," Lisa looked up and faced her
" Don't worry,,,,I stopped already. But I like him a lot,,, " She said
" You know what??" Lisa asked folding her arms under her br**st
" What " Lily asked
" Noah has a deep crush on you,,, " Lisa said and she gasped
" What?? How did you know that?? " Lily asked immediately
" Everyone knows,,you should have noticed. But I guess you didn't,,,,, everyone knows he's really in love with you, but have no courage to tell you " Lisa said and continue washing
" He's cute though" Lily said
" Of course he is,,you two will make great couples " Lisa smiled
" You're saying that because you want me to forget about your boyfriend " Lily said
Lisa bite her lips,, she caught her.
" Am not a boyfriend snatcher,,I never knew you guys were dating " Lily said and wipe her hand with a towel
" Am sorry,,," Lisa said
" It's okay,,don't spoil the mood. Let's join the others " Lily said and they walked out of the kitchen.
" Finally they are here,,let's start the game " Florence said and they all sat down on the floor.
Lisa sat down next to Michael resting her head on his shoulder,,,
" Who will start?? " Gavin asked
" Okay,,me " Ethan said
" Truth? Dare??"
" Truth " He smiled
" Tell us who you're crushing on" Noah smirked
" No one " He replied almost immediately
" That's not true,, " Lily said pointing at him
" Okay am crushing on you " Ethan smirked
" What?? " Noah yelled
" What's your problem?? He just said he's crushing on Lily,why are you screaming?? " Gavin asked
" Don't frustrate him,," Michael said without looking up
" What the hell are you doing on your phone,,am getting jealous already " Lisa groaned
" Important business " He replied
" Michael choose one "
" Dare " He said without even listening
" I dare you to stay a whole day without Lisa,,and if you don't do it,,you know the consequence " Gavin said with a grin
" What??? " Lisa yelled
" What ,," Michael removed the headphone
" You can't hear me??" Gavin asked
" What if I don't do it?? " He asked
" Then,,, guys tell him what you all want " Gavin said with a smirk
" Your car " Ethan grinned
" Your phone " Noah smirked
" A kiss " Lily said
" Uhm,, you're my brother,,,,,, am going to make it soft,,,,,you will just clean the whole house " Sharon said
" The cleaner is there "
" It's a dare " She smiled
" Break up with Lisa " Florence said
" Wow,,you guys are really bad " Lisa said
Michael roughed his hair,,
" When did I even tell him to dare me?? " Michael asked.
" It's all your fault,, you were focused on that phone if yours " Lisa replied and rolled her eyes
" It's just tomorrow,,,, just 12 hours!!" Gavin said
" It's not easy dude,," Michael scoffed
" Fine,let's do it. You can't give them what they want " Lisa said
" Out of all,,I can only do one,,that's bad " Michael said
" Which one??" They all asked curiously
" I can only give Noah my phone,, the rest are worst. And Lily even asked for a kiss,,you really want me to stay away from Lisa " He said and they all burst into laughter
" Now,deal is on,, stay away from each other tomorrow. No talking, no touching, nothing " Gavin said
" No,,distance chat is allowed,you want them to die??" Noah said
" Okay,,distance chat" They all chorused happily
" I have no friends " Michael said with a sigh
They all continue laughing,,,
