“He fancies you.” Jay blurted out and I pushed his shoulder playfully.
“Don’t embarrass him, I’m sure he doesn’t,” I glanced at Haz who was leaning on the banister,
“Oh he does.” I watched him nudge his brother and I laughed awkwardly “he looks like a love struck dog.” I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
“Oh fuck up you two,” Buddy glared at them both and then looked at me, his eyes examined mine. “Your eyes are fucking stunning.” I felt myself go red instantly and shook my head.
“I’m going to get dressed.” I felt embarrassed to say the least and I walked back to the spare room. I heard them wolf whistling and chuckling like girls and shook my head as I laughed with them and entered the room I’d left Haz in moments before.
The house seemed to have calmed down, there were no longer people swarming from angles I’d never seen before and I made my way down the stairs. Jay made his way to me on the stairs and I stopped when he reached me.
“We are all going for dinner tonight, would you come with us afterwards?” His eyes looked torn and I shrugged.
“Where do you want to take me afterwards?” I raised my brow at him and watched him smile softly.
“He wants you to know what we really deal with, the kind of people who are around us on a daily basis,” my breathing became slightly quicker and I nodded “it won’t be a nice experience but you’ve gotta know now.” My gut twisted and I nodded before I continued to walk down the stairs to try and find Chlo. She was sat sprawled out on the sofa and I smiled at her. She wriggled her eyebrows at me and I laughed.
“Buddy’s hot for you.” She grinned and I laughed before I sprawled out next to her.
“I’ve heard.” I closed my eyes.
“You’ve proper got him all in a tizz, it’s hilarious.” I internally rolled my eyes. She seemed to find it very funny that he was all hot under the collar. “Haz was proper seething when he was talking about you this morning.” I laughed and sat up to look at her.
“I didn’t realise he had brothers?” I questioned her and watched her nod.
“Yeah he’s got a few and two sisters I think.” She watched as I nodded and I reached for the remote for the television and watched her raise her brow. I threw her the remote and watched her scramble to catch it.
“What do you want?” I shrugged and looked around at the state of the living room, the cushions from the sofa were spread over the floor and there were beer bottles.
“Anything, preferably soul music, it helps me clean.” I wiggled my eyes and heard her laugh. I reached down to grab pillows off the floor. I heard the surround sound active and the soft sound of Etta James ‘Rather Be Blind’ acoustic version played through the living room and I clapped my hands.
“Oh God I love this song.” I admitted and she smirked.
“I’d kill to hear you sing this.” I laughed and began to sing.
“Somethin’ told me it was over, when I saw you and her talking’, something deep down in my soul said cry girl, when I saw you and that girl walking’ around,” I heard her chuckle a little and got lost in my cleaning not realising I now had an audience. Chloe was still cleaning and grinning towards me. I continued to sing “I would rather go blind boy, than to see you walk away from me child no, I was jealous sittin’ here thinkin of your kiss and your warm embrace…” I watched her wink at the door and jumped as I saw Alfie, Buddy, Jamane, Jay and Haz stood in the doorway. I blushed instantly red and stopped singing. I watched Alfie rub his arms and heard his voice.
“Fucking hell you’ve got a pair of lungs.” I frowned at Chloe and she grinned. I was shy again and watched her chuckle. The music was still playing in the background and I made eye contact with Haz, he walked into the room and I stopped in my tracks.
“Keep singing,” He smirked and I shook my head.
“The mood has stopped now.” I was laughing now and I shook my head as I placed the last pillow on the sofa.
“We will make a mess more often if we get to listen to that in a morning.” Alfie chuckled at Jay’s words and I rolled my eyes. “Sing something else, keep us all entertained.” I sat on my legs on the off white sofa and shook my head.
“I don’t have my guitar,” Haz looked up and shook his head at Jay almost instantly.
“He plays, tell him to get his.” I raised my brow and shot him a look.
“You play that too?” My words were quieter and he shrugged.
“I play a lot of things well used to haven’t in a while.” I smirked and shook my head. My mind remembered the time he was going to play the piano at the wedding. I wanted to crawl up next to him and I gazed up at him.
“Anybody looking forward to
