Chapter 86
Adonis, Flynn and I drop down on the couch with groans of pain..
Kamri kicked Adonis and Flynn’s asses.
I ran into a pole before she could kick mine.
“Where’s the kitchen?” Mia asks us.
I point to the doorway to the kitchen and Mia nods, walking away.
“I hope you three learned your lesson.” Kamri says to us as if chastising small children.
We all groan in response before the front door slams open, and Octavia and Lucas stumble in, their lips connected.
Adonis‘ mouth drops open and his eyes widen comically, enhancing their violet colour. Kamri and I share a look but my attention is quickly shifted to Flynn when I feel him tense next to me. His jaw is clenched and he can’t seem to tear his eyes away from Octavia and Luke.
I immediately grab his hand, lacing our fingers together. I give his much larger hand a squeeze and he finally rips his eyes away from the scene, meeting my gaze. I give him a reassuring smile and he manages to give me a small smile back, but his eyes are full of pain and sadness.
“I could only find one ice pack so I grabbed a bag of frozen peas and a frozen–oh!” Mia cuts herself off and freezes when she sees Octavia and Lucas, who quickly pull away from each other when they hear her voice.
“Holy shit!” Lucas gasps when he sees all of us.
I see Octavia eyes drift to Flynn and I’s conjoined hands before quickly looking at Mia who’s standing uncomfortably in the kitchen doorway holding an ice pack, a bag of frozen peas and…a glad–wrapped, frozen pork chop?
We all stare at each other quietly before Adonis breaks the silence.
“So,” he starts, laughing awkwardly. “Kam ripped my moustache off my face today.”
-Winnie-
Everyone ignores Adonis, staring at each other in silence.
I clear my throat.
“So….would either of you like to explain what the ever loving fuck is going on here?” I question calmly.
“Uhh, not really.” Lucas scratches the back of his neck nervously.
“Nope.” Octavia shakes her head.
Everyone stares quietly at each other again.
This time Mia breaks the silence.
“Um, hi?” She gives an awkward smile. “I’m Mia. Kamri’s…friend.”

“More than a friend.” I correct.
“Almost girlfriend.” Adonis adds..
“I’m Lucas.” Luke gives an even more awkward smile. “I’m Kamri’s future maid of honour.”
“What?!” Octavia and I exclaim in unison, looking at Kamri. “You said I could be your maid of honour when you got married!
We then look at each other.
“Stop doing that!” We shout in unison again. “No, you! No you!”
“Both of you shut up! You’re giving me a headache!” Kamri stops our arguing. “You’re all fired. Adonis will be my future maid
of honour.”
Adonis grins happily. “Yay!”
“But-”
“No buts, no boobs, no fucking anything.” Kamri points a finger at us.
“No fucking anything?” Flynn repeats, eyebrows furrowed.
“Not like that, you idiot!”
“What’s the deal with you two anyway?” Flynn turns his attention to Octavia and Lucas, who don’t seem to notice his bitterness. “You a thing now?”
“No.”
“Yes.” Octavia and Lucas say at the same time before looking at each other.
Flock eyes with Kamri and she shrugs.
I still think Luke is gay. Just saying.
“Okaaayyy,” I start, digging the keys to the jeep out of my pocket. “It sounds like you two have a lot to talk about. We’ll go drop Mia off.”
Kamri, Mia and I start walking to the front door but stop when we realise Adonis and Flynn aren’t behind us.
“That includes you two.” Kamri states while staring at them with hard eyes.
“But I want to stay and watch the drama.” Adonis pouts.
“Yeah, me too.” Flynn shrugs.
I glare at them and they share a look before quickly scrambling up and following us.
“I thought you said he was gay!” Flynn erupts about five minutes into the car ride. I’m driving with Flynn in the passenger’s seat, and Kamri squashed between Adonis and Mia in the back.
“I said I thought he was gay! I wasn’t a hundred percent certain!” I shout back. “Don’t take your jealousy out on me, because boy, I will slap you so hard you’ll fly into next week!”
“Guys, calm do-”

“Don’t you dare finish that sentence, West.” I glare at him through the rearview mirror and he shrinks back.
“Never tell a woman to shut up, Doni.” Flynn tells him. “Especially not a King. More specifically, Windora.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?!” I explode, snapping my head to him.
“Eyes on the road, Winnie!” Kamri shouts from the back.
I quickly look back at the road, glancing at Flynn from the corner of my eye.
“It means you get pissed when someone tells you to calm down and you’re a bitch when you’re pissed!” He fires back.
“Dios mío.” Adonis mumbles. “Does he have a fucking death wish?”
We ignore him.
“I’m a bitch when I’m pissed?” I scoff. “Of course I’m a bitch when I’m pissed! Do you expect me to be a fucking smiley face emoji when there are explosions happening behind my eyes?”
