Drive In Saturday

I arrived back at the house at about eight that evening with every intention of going straight to my bedroom. I was a little forlorn that Mr Hector hadn’t shown up at the restaurant looking for me. I knew he wasn’t even technically my cat. He was an independent feline. But it still made me sad to think he’d gone his own way. I had one foot on the stairs when Sophie peeked her head out of the living room.

“Oh, you’re back,” she exclaimed. “We weren’t sure if you’d want to join us.”

“Join you?”

At this Liam emerged, wearing lounge pants and a long-sleeved T-shirt. He looked gorgeous and handsome like always, but I obviously tried to ignore that.

“We’re ordering pizza and watching a movie. You in?” he asked, blue eyes looking me up and down in a way that was surprisingly tender.

“He likes you,” Bowie whispered in my ear.

“Shut it, you,” I subconsciously whispered back. He faded away, though not without shooting me a knowing grin beforehand.

I had to admit, the idea of spending an evening eating pizza and watching a film with Liam and the others sounded lovely. Truly. I wanted to hang out with them, so I let myself have something nice for once. “Okay, just let me go change first.”

I hurried up to my room and put on the same lounge pants and T-shirt I wore after my shower last night, since it seemed everyone was going casual. It wasn’t like I owned anything fancy anyway. I headed downstairs, and to my dismay found Valerie in the living room. Sophie, Lee, and Karla sat on one couch, while Valerie and Liam sat on the other.

A faint feeling of jealousy stirred within me but I pushed it aside. There was enough space between them to show they weren’t an item or anything. Although, after how she reacted to me yesterday, I had a sneaking suspicion Valerie held a candle for Liam.

I wondered if he was aware of it.

Unlike everyone else, she wore skinny jeans and a tight top that showcased her admittedly large boobs. My smallish C-cups never felt so intimidated. So yeah, aside from her cruel lips, Valerie was reasonably attractive. Whatever. I was just happy to be there, doing something as ordinary as watching a movie with a bunch of people I lived with.

Liam’s gaze fell on me as he patted the space next to him. “Over here, Iris.”

Valerie cut me a scathing look. Yep, she definitely fancied him.

I sat down just as Lee suggested True Lies as a movie choice. “Oh no, I can’t stand Schwarzenegger for more than twenty minutes,” said Karla.

“Such a specific length of time,” Lee chuckled. “What about Gone Girl?”

“I haven’t seen that one yet. It’s supposed to be good,” said Sophie.

“Okay, are we all okay with Gone Girl, then?” Lee asked the room. Everybody voiced their agreement while I nodded, trying not to be too affected by Liam’s closeness. He always wore the same cologne and the scent had become a comfort to me.
