My Best Friend's Brother

Hello, Emilie

Liam stands at my front door as I go inside. He has his arms crossed and disappointment painted on his face.

"I'm sorry."

He cut his eyes in my direction, "For what exactly?"

"I shouldn't have went over there."

His eyes stayed on me as he shifted his feet, moving his weight to the other side of the door frame, "Let me see your phone?"

I hesitate, but hand him my phone. He unlocks it and turns his back to me, "Liam, what are you doing."

He places the phone up to his ear, "Yeah, this is Liam. I need to talk to you. Can you come to Emilie's house?"

"Um excuse me."

"Just get here as soon as you can." He locked my phone and handed it back to me. Then he pulled his phone out and pressed it against his ear again.

"How is she?......Will you call me when she wakes up?....I love you too, Mom." He returns his phone to his back pocket, and steps past me into my house.

Making himself comfortable, he takes a seat on the couch.

"Who did you invite to my house?"

He crossed one ankle over the other, propped on the coffee table, "A mutual buddy. But she will be here soon, so if we are going to make out we should probably get started."

He wraps his arms around the back of my legs and pulls me down on the couch. He kisses my cheek, and tries to tickle me under my arms, but I fight it away.

"I thought you were mad at me."

He pushes my hair behind my ear and looks into my eyes, "It's really hard to stay mad at you."

I shrug, "It's because of my magical powers."

He shook his head, "No, it's because I love you."

My cheeks go red and my hands naturally move to hide them, but he pulls them away, and uses my arms to pull me closer.

"Guess what."

"What?"

He touched his nose to mine, "We don't have to hide anymore."

A smile crept across my face, "Are you sure that your reputation can handle being with a dweeb like me?"

He laughs and pushes his lips to mine, "A sexy dweeb like you? Hell yeah it can."

I look at my phone screen, "How much time do you think we have?"

He smirked, "Enough."

We were well into a deep make out session when the doorbell rang. Liam pulled away from me and ran his fingers through his hair. I swung my legs over him to go open the door.

As I opened the door, Charlotte Jameson stood on my front porch.

"Hello, Emilie."

"Hey....come on in." I opened the door all the way, allowing her to enter. She immediately took a seat beside Liam who was holding one of the couch pillows across his lap.

I close the front door and sit on the loveseat across from the couch.

"How is Sarah?"

Liam nods his head, "She is doing better, thanks for asking."

Charlotte crosses her legs, "So what was so important that I had to drive over here ASAP?"

Liam put his chin on his fist that was propped by his elbow on his knee, "I need a favor from you... a huge favor."
