Beth•••
I feel so awkward right now. I have nothing to say and for some reason no one was either calling or texting me and I was getting restless.
Seth and I kept stealing glances at each other since we obviously ran out of words.
KNOCK KNOCK
I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. I had to refrain from running because honestly I couldn't wait to hug my savior.
I swung the door open.
Sharon.
I love you. You have no idea how much I love you.
I was grinning like a cat that was just given milk.
Sharon took a few steps backwards her face suspicious.
"You seem happy to see me. What's up?" Sharon asked her brows slightly furrowing.
"Can't a girl be happy to see her best ol bestie?"
"Not if her smile is creepier than a vampire's" she shrugged.
"You...meanie" I faked waterworks.
She faked a gasp, "I knew I shouldn't have taken you home with me that day at the mall" then she pouted.
"Why did you?" I smiled knowing what was the answer we always played like this.
"You were free. How was I supposed to resist that" she got on her toes and started searching for something on my neck.
"What the heck, S?" I felt a bit overgrown the way she stood on her toes.
Damn her 5'5.
"Shh, I'm looking for your off button I know it's here somewhere" she stuck her tongue out. Her I'm trying to be serious face.
I pushed her gently. "You're crazy"
She just shrugged, "en it's what happens when someone sticks with you for a long time" she scratched her chin like she'd just said something wise.
"ouch" I put a hand on my heart.
She giggled and peered over my shoulder when Seth cleared his throat. Then she raised a suggestive brow at me before making kissing faces. I just laughed and shook my head.
I stood aside and motioned her to enter the room but she whispered: "are you sure I won't disturb something?"
I just smacked her head and pulled her into the room there was no way I could stay one more second with Seth without pouncing on him I was having enough negative thoughts as it was.
"So Seth I hope you got Beth a really nice birthday present" Sharon winked at Seth.
I nudged her. "Cut it out"
"What its only a question" then she narrowed her eyes "only you would read a different meaning to what I said"
"Don't you dare use my words against me"
"Eh...been there done that" she faced Seth "I'm serious homie I hope you got her something that will blow her mind or else I will cut off your family jewels"
Seth had a conflicted expression "my family what?"
Sharon only pouted at his groin with a carefree expression.
Streaks of pink appeared on his cheeks. *ahem* "thanks for the warning" his hazels met my filigreeds and the color of his cheeks deepened *ahem* "I should get going it's my turn to babysit my younger sister"
I was disappointed.
I was probably not going to say anything and just stare at his face but even that was enough for me.
Sharon nudged me a little too hard. "You're drooling" she whispered.
"What?!" I touched the corners of my lips.
Nada.
I glared at her.
"I'm a good friend. You were practically eye raping the poor kid"
"Kid?!" Seth had this 'the oppressed' look on his face and I couldn't help but laugh.
I have noticed that both Sharon and Seth often get into an argument while teasing each other.
They are doing it again.
I wonder if a day will come when they talk normally.
"I'm way older than you" Seth argued.
"Pfft puh-lease like age came with anything, you know in your case I'd say age doesn't come with sense" Sharon countered.
Seth eyebrows rose and his eyes widened and I knew there and then that Sharon had taken it a tad too far.
I immediately stepped in between them before they rose hell.
I hate being the mediator.
They were still arguing and it took a lot of will power not to leave their middle because they kept arguing I needed a trick to get them to shut up.
I thought of something and put my hands on my temples. I swayed forward and backwards then 'lost' my balance.
THUD
I was on the floor. I started counting how long it'll be before they noticed me last time it was good five minutes.
Do you hear that?
Silence.
Which means my plan worked.
"You see this is all your fault" I heard Sharon say.
"Are you blaming me for this you started it"
"Huh?"
And thus another round of argument began. I opened my eyes to see each of them flanked by my side soaking me with their saliva.
They are truly something else.
