"She's one of my best friends and if she's half as interested in me as I am in her, then I think we could have a good, solid relationship." He says, and a little smile blooms over my face.

"So you think you're good enough?" Winn asks, and I groan internally.

"I agree with you when you say that no one is good enough for her, but like I told Parker, I think we could have a good relationship." Sam tells him.

"You seem awfully confident in the fact that Maddie reciprocates these feelings. What if she doesn't?" Emmett challenges.

"Then I'd suck it up and get over it. Even if we don't work out I still want to be friends with her."

I chew on the ends of my hair nervously, eager to hear how my brothers will reply to that. So far I think he's done everything right.

"You do realize that if you end up dating Madeline, there will be rules and restrictions?" What sounds like Ollie, says.

What? Ollie's here too? When did he show up?

"Of course, sir." Sam says.

"And I mean, majorly. We aren't messing around when it comes to her."

"And neither am I." He tells him, and my chest warms up.

"Good to hear." Ollie says, sounding a little less severe than before.

"So, what're your thoughts?"

"I'm okay with it." Ollie announces, surprising me.

"You'd be my pick for her, you're more behaved. And the fact that you came to us proves that you're responsible." Emmett says, and I grin, sinking down so I'm sitting on the floor outside the door.

"If Maddie's is okay with it, and you're both very aware of the rules, I don't mind. You're a good kid, Sam." Winn tells him, making Sam murmur a 'Thank you, sir'.

"Parker?" Emmett says, but Park doesn't reply.

"I don't know, I didn't really think she'd be dating until at least college." He says, making me scrunch my nose up in distaste.

He also thinks I'm going to be virgin forever, but he's wrong about that.

"Clearly that isn't the case." Winn replies.

"I thought we'd deal with it later is what I'm meaning." He snaps.

"Okay, well, we aren't."

"Elwin, holy shit, I know." Parker mumbles, sounding peeved.

After a long pause, which I'm ninety percent I don't breathe at all, Parker finally answers.

"Alright, Sam. You seem like you want a serious relationship with Maddie. You can ask her on a date."

I let out a soundless laugh, a huge grin on my face.

"Thank you." Sam replies.

When I hear them start to walk, I jump up and scramble to the couch. I throw myself onto it and grab the controller, quickly starting a game and trying to force myself to stop smiling.

The kitchen door opens, and from the corner of my eye I see Sam walk over to me, a huge grin plastered to his face.

He sits down beside me, grabbing the other controller and connecting to the game.

"C'mon, I wanted to be Luigi." He whines, pouting.

"Emmy!" I yell, flopping on the couch.
