"Hey, guys!" Summer raised her head to look briefly at us as we walked into the living room, and focuses back on her phone.
Connor and I both shared a look of confusion and disbelief and we looked back at her again.
"Why are you here?" Connor asked, his eyes unmoving from Summer's. I walked up to her and sat beside her on the sofa. She raised her eyes to me and smiled at me before she replied Connor. I smiled back at her.
Woah. Someone knows how to acknowledge others now.
"Why? Is it wrong if I want to see my oldest brother?" She gave him a poppy eye and he waved it away with a fling of a hand.
"Did you break something at the house again?"
She gave him a long hard glare before looking back at her phone again.
Funny enough, I found their arguments adorable. They reminded me of Zed and me.
"Stop asking me stupid questions, Connor. I came here because I want to spend the week at your place."
"What about school?"
"I'm on break."
Connor blew a frustrated air through his mouth and I laughed.
"Feel at home." I placed a hand on Summer's shoulder and told her. I got up again but felt a sudden heaviness on my head. My vision clouded and I staggered a little, feeling suddenly faint.
"Kenz." Connor rushed to me and supported me by the arm. He brought me back to the sofa and helped me sit on it.
"Is she okay? Is she sick or something?" Summer dropped her phone and helped steady me on the chair.
My vision slowly calmed and the darkness that loomed over my head disappeared. I tried to catch my breath.
"I'm fine." I breathe deeply through my mouth and Summer watched me intently, her eyes calculating.
"Are you pregnant?"
Connor and I looked at her simultaneously.
"How did you know?" Connor asked and she gasped, a hand flying over her mouth and a smile breaking on her face.
Shit. She didn't know. But now she does.
"So, you are pregnant."
"It's not...it's not what you think..."
But summer wasn't listening to me. She looked elated as if she had just heard the best news of her life.
"You've been pregnant for how long? When are we going to tell mom about this?"
"First of all, there is no we," Connor replied. "And secondly, we are not ready to tell mom about it yet. So don't you dare mention a word about this to her."
Summer nodded and crossed her fingers in a pinkie finger promise. "Fine. I promise." She laughed again. "Jessie is going to be so pissed when she finds out about this."
Connor ignored her and tried to help me up again. "Let me help you get to your room, Kenz."
"I can do that myself. I told you, I'm fine." I maintained but still got up and he took my hands, leading me away.
"Kenz? I thought your name was Ari."
"It's a pet name." Connor jumped in to explain before I could reply and I sighed in relief. We continued to walk away from her and up the stairs."
"Woah hoo!" Summer's voice celebrated behind us. "I am going to be an aunt!"
.....................
I stood by the doorway and struggled between ringing his doorbell or not. It felt so weird coming back to the exact place I caught him and Tory together, hearing their plot against Connor. I felt as though coming back here would make me an accomplice.
I swallowed my thoughts and hesitations and rang the bell. As I waited for the door to be opened, I shifted on my toes. The door finally opened and a shirtless Zed stood before me, his torso clad with a bathing towel.
"Shit. Kenz!." He banged the door shut at my face again and I blinked my eyes as he escape back inside.
He was...hot.
As I began to wonder if the embarrassment of me seeing him this way had made him hide from me, the door opened again halfway and Zed poked his head through. I could see he had a shirt on now and a trouser too. He threw me a wide smile that made me suspect something fishy.
"Hi, Kenz." He greeted me.
"Uh...hi," I replied. "Can I come in?"
He hesitated for a second and finally moved aside for me to step through.
As I walked through the door and into his modest living room, he shut the door behind me.
"What's up, Kenz? You didn't inform me you were coming." Zed told me and I turned to look at him.
Like the time I checked, I didn't have to call to visit someone like Zed.
"Yea. I'm sorry about that. I uh...wanted to apologize to you about what happened the other day at the hospital."
"That was nothing, Kenz."
I was surprised by how quick he was to forgive me and my eyes scanned him from the tip of his head to the soles of his feet for any suspicions. I blinked at his waist twice.
Was that a fucking bulge in his pant? Oh my God. Was he having a boner because of me? Did he have sexual attraction toward me?
"Babe..." a familiar female voice came from behind me as the sound of her bare feet pattered alongside. Zed's eyes widened at the third presence that joined us and I also noticed the person stopped in her tracks. I turned my head to look at the third presence, suspecting no other than Tory. But my pupils dilate at the short dark haired lady in front of me wearing nothing save for a pair of a flimsy bathrobes.
"Suzy?" I could not believe my eyes. What the hell was my big sister doing, naked in the same room as my best friend?
Suzy stared at me wide-eyed too and did not move from her spot. She was as shocked as I was and wasn't expecting I would be here today.
And how did she even know him in the first place?
"Kenzie." Suzy finally found her voice. "I didn't know you were coming."
I darted my eyes between the both of them and could still not believe the sight before me.
"Are you sleeping with Zed?" I asked Suzy, disbelief in my tone. "I thought you were gay."
It was Suzy's turn to stare at me in pure disbelief.
"You thought I was gay?"
"Yes." I flung my hands around.
"Why would you ever think I'm gay?"
"I don't know. The first time I visited mom's house and you tried to make fast moves on me maybe?"
Suzy rolled her eyes at me and replied with a flare of her hands, mimicking my actions. "I wasn't making any move at you. I was trying to be super friendly. Honey, I am as straight as straight can be. And I love dicks too. Big ones."
I made a disgusted face at her words and she stifled a laugh. I turned to look at Zed now who was now red on the face and looked like if anything, he was wishing for the ground to open up and swallow him.
"How did you even know my sister?"
"Uh..." he ran a hand through his hair. "The day at the hospital..."
I gasped. "You met Suzy at the hospital and used that to your advantage?"
"No. No." He jumped to his defence. It looked like he is about to cry now. "I didn't use it to my advantage. I saw her at the store the next day when I went to pick up some groceries and recalled her face..."
"And then you decided to start having sex with her?"
I could not believe what I was hearing.
"Kenz." Suzy jumped to his defence and walked towards him, placing herself directly beside him. Looking at them together, there was no visible difference in their age and I could not deny they looked perfectly good together. Better than him and Tory. "Give the boy a break. Don't be so jealous."
"Me? Jealous? What would I be jealous of?"
She shrugged defiantly and I rubbed a hand over my forehead.
"You know, I was going to ask you to accept my family but it seemed like you already have."
"Yes, Kenz." He wrapped his arm around Suzy's waist, a small proud smile on his lips. "And it's amazing."
Suzy gave him a look and pecked him on the cheeks. "Thanks, baby."
I made a disgusted face again and almost threw up. They laughed at me.
"You know what? Happy fucking day. I'm out of here."
I ran off, ignoring Zed and Suzy's goodbyes.
Horny freaks.
