“Wait!” Adonis exclaims before crawling over and sitting down on the floor next to me. “Okay, I’m here. Continue.”
Kamri and I stare at him with raised eyebrows.
“Um?”
“Flynn’s too busy being green and staring at Tavia and Lucas, and won’t pay attention to me.” He pouts.
“Alright.” I nod before turning back to Kamri. “You gonna go on a date with Mia anytime soon?”
“Mia? The girl from the food court?” Adonis questions just as Flynn crawls over, turning our little triangle into a circle. Or square. I don’t know, it’s pretty wonky.
“That’s the one.” I confirm.
“Ooh, we talking about the cutie from the mall?” Flynn grins excitedly.
“Yeah, you done being jealous?” Kamri raises her eyebrows at him.
“I am not jealous.” He turns his nose up and closes his eyes before peeking one eye open and looking at us. “And they’re going
outside.”
As if on cue, Octavia and Lucas stand up, walking to the kitchen, We hear the back door open and shut, confirming that they
had indeed gone outside.
“Great,” Adonis claps his hands once and throws himself across Flynn’s lap. “Now you can pay attention to me!”
“Dude, you’re like a puppy.” Flynn rolls his eyes.
Adonis grins up at him. “Adorable and loveable?”
“Clingy and attention–seeking.” Flynn slaps Adonis‘ forehead making him pout..
“Bitchass.” He mumbles, sitting up before throwing himself across my lap instead.
I grin down at him, running a hand through his hair.
“Don’t worry, hot stuff, I love puppies. Flynn’s just salty because Octavia and Luke went outside.” I throw a blank look at Flynn who crosses his arms and sulks.
Adonis smiles cutely when I say I love puppies and I hold back a coo, ruffling his hair, making him laugh.
“Anyway!” Flynn shifts the attention away from him and back to Kamri. “Mia.”
Kamri groans, rolling her eyes. “No, we’re not going on a date anytime soon.”
“Why the fuck not?!” Adonis, Flynn and I practically shout in unison.
She stares at us in bewilderment. “I haven’t asked her…?”
“Why the fuck not?!”

“I…I’m shy.”
Flynn huffs out a laugh of disbelief. “You? Shy? Believe me when I say Kamri and this girl are going to be married by the time they’re twenty–two and have 3 kids by twenty–five.”
“What? No!” Kamri exclaims before looking at Adonis and I. “Guys?!”
Adonis and I share a look before he looks at Kamri and looks away, whistling.
I turn to Flynn. “Thirty bucks says they’re married by twenty–one.”
“What the hell?!”
“Thirty bucks says twenty.” Adonis adds.
“You’re on, bitch.” Flynn grins and we all shake hands.
“I hate you guys.” Kamri huffs.
I shrug, grinning. “You’re stuck with us.”
“Unfortunately.” She sighs making me laugh before taking her phone, going straight to her messages.
“What’re you doing?!” She tries to snatch her phone back but I lean away
“Setting you up on a date with Mia.” I say nonchalantly. “Wait, you’ve been talking to her everyday since you met!”
“And you haven’t asked her out on a date once since the day at the mall?” Adonis stares at her in disbelief as I type away on
her phone.
“You’re an idiot.” Flynn shakes his head.
“You two are meeting up at the ice cream place tomorrow at one.” I grin at her, passing her phone back.
The three stare at me.
“Well…who needs to grow a pair when you have Winnie?” Adonis shrugs.
“Flynn, did you eat my last powdered donut?” I grumble, walking back into the living room after rummaging around in the kitchen cabinets.
“No…”
“Then what’s that white stuff all over your face?”
“Cocaine.”
“Oh my lord.” Kamri facepalms as Octavia and Lucas walk back into the room.
“Look who decided to join us.” She announces, making Flynn slumps back down against the couch. Adonis is splayed out on said couch, snoring away, his mouth wide open and his hair falling down his forehead and in his eyes.
“Have you been sniffing cocaine?” Lucas asks Flynn, making Octavia and Kamri burst out laughing.
“You don’t even want to know what I was going to suggest that was.” Octavia shakes her head making me scrunch up my nose.

I roll my eyes when Flynn crosses his arms and starts sulking again. I brush Adonis’s hair out of his face, making him smile in his sleep before I drop down next to Flynn, using a tissue to wipe the powder from the donut off his face as he pouts like a
child.
I swear I’m their mother.
“Stop it. Green isn’t your colour.” I mumble to him as I finish wiping his face, scrunching the tissue up before walking into the
kitchen to throw it away.
“Pooh Bear!” He whines as he follows me into the kitchen.
“Eugene Fitzherbert!” I mimic, tossing the tissue in the bin before walking over to the fridge and opening the freezer, digging
out a tub of cookies and cream ice cream.
He sighs, dropping down in a stool at the island. “I love Lucas, I really do-”
“But you’re a jealous bitch?” I cut him off, finishing his sentence as I grab two spoons out of the drawer before walking over and sitting next to him, handing him a spoon and peeling the lid off.
