Stop That Hacker! UNEDITED VERSION (2020)

Chapter 15

"Hi." He said frozen on the stairs.

"Hi." Remi smiled.

"Hi." He said again.

"Want some pizza?" She asked and opened the box.

He brushed past us and speed walked to the front door.

"Hey where are you going?" I yelled.

"I'm going to Fin's."

He was gone before I could say anything else.

"Who else is here?" Remi asked.

"Well.." I said sitting down and getting a slice. "Mom and Dad went jogging together, Kai as you can see just left and Ace said he got invited to a party at his girlfriend's house. Only Rehan is home."

"Call him for pizza" Remi said and took a slice herself.

I texted Rehan and he came down in a second.

"Oh pizza." He jumped next to us and put two slices over one another shoving them in his mouth.

"Do you guys have any drinks?" Rehan asked with his mouth full.

"Nope. We don't drink fuzzy stuff." I told him.

"I meant alcohol." He said

Remi coughed up the pizza. "You drink?"

"All the men in this family are allowed to drink." Rehan answered.

"It's true." I nodded. "Dad gave them beer the moment they got to high school to teach them their limit so they never go over it. He doesn't want to ever catch them drunk. But Ace still likes partying a bit too much. That's why he hides from mom and dad so desperately."

"What about you?" Remi asked, taking another slice. "I've never seen you drink."

"Double standards. I'm not allowed." I said.

Rehan chuckled. "Dad told her she's only allowed to drink alcohol if it comes in liquor chocolates."

"That is so unfair." Remi placed her hand on the table. "I will not have this oppression..."

"Relax Remi. We don't drink anyway." I laughed.

"No. This is unacceptable. Women should be.."

"I'm out." Rehan grabbed a pie and headed out. "I'm gonna be back by eleven."

"See ya." I waved, still listening to Remi's speech in the background.

"I'm telling you Francy this is not fair." She sighed. "You know what we should do. To mark this occasion we should drink."

My jaw dropped open. "No...we couldn't.. we shouldn't.."

She smirked. "But you want too.."

I pressed my lips tight. I can't deny that.

"But where would we find alcohol?" I asked.

"I'm sure your mom and dad have a stash somewhere."

Going to the kitchen I opened the freezer where they kept hard liquor for guests.

"I see vodka." I said taking it out. "It's only half a bottle though."

"That would do." Remi said taking it and pulling out two glasses.

Next thing I knew we were drinking the bitter thing like it was water.

"You know what we should do?" Remi jumped happily from the couch to the armchair.

"What?" I asked laughing.

"I've always wondered what's in Rehan's room."

"No!" I yelled. "We can't. Only mom's allowed in there cause she picks up the laundry."
