The Call
1111 Words
I texted Zack and told him to go along with it I used Zack because will aka William didn't know him, now to set the stage "shh"
"Why?" ignoring him I said, " that guy at the bar said I could call him if I ever needed anything but then again my boyfriend wouldn't like that," will burst out laughing " kara you, and I know that your too-"
"Too what?"
"I don't know? Mean, bold, insensitive, do I need to say more? And you're a little on the nerdier side too," he said with a shrug; The audacity of this boy right now is astronomical, I did my best mom face, and I guessed it worked because he backed up a bit "Don't do that" I raised my brow at him still holding the mom face "Do what?"
"That, you look like mom but with dad's eyes," really? No wonder he backed up. When my dad got angry, his eyes would lose all the warmth and emotion they had and became these cold soulless orbs of death of deep emerald green just one look from him. And you're done. With my mom, she's creepy as hell when she's mad you never know when she's going to pounce and she just smiles at you with this taunting look on her face.
The snapping of will's finger pulled me from my thoughts, "I'm, leaving" I said while getting up. Just as I predicted, he blocked me ok, Bring. It. On. I called Zack and put it on speaker "Hey, babe"
"Ciao Amor Mío," he said in his thick Italian, I never understood why his name was Zack if he was- nevermind
"Can I come over" Will stood there dumbfounded
"Should I come to pick you up"
"No, I'll walk-"
“Remember underwear this time can't have you walking around in just my T-shirt again"
He said cutting me off; He was really selling it. “What should I call you this time, Master or Dadd-” and the sound of my phone crashing against the wall is what I hear next.
"What the hell is your problem?" I said, more like shrieked.
"My problem, just wait till mom hears about this," f*****g momma's boy I thought
"Tell her anything and I'll tell her you got Stacy pregnant," not like there's anything there for him to tell
"You wouldn't"
"Try me," I said with a devilish smirk
“Ok, but please tell me you are not going to that guy’s house,” he said and his eyes widened as if he realized something “Kara did you already have s*x with him,” I cringe at the thought of having a s*x talk with my brother I need to shut this down “Are you pregnant, I mean that would explain the bigger appetite and mood swings and the weight you've been gaining and the hips and boobs yes this is a way better explanation than growth hormones”
“Growth hormones?” I said, confused
“Yeah, when I came back from the summer camp I wouldn't have recognized you if it wasn't for your eyes,” he said while scratching his head “You were so filled out”
“you know puberty is a thing? Right?”
“yea but so sudden” he can't be for real his camp is about three months long
“Will I'm not pregnant and I’m still a virgin,” he Breathed out and whispered thank God; What is wrong with them, Will and my dad act like I’m still a little girl now my dad I can handle but Will is a whole situation he’s the reason everyone’s so afraid to ask me out ‘you sure about that' my subconscious clapped back ok, he's not the entire reason but you get what I mean?
“So the guy on the phone?”
“Not my boyfriend”
“Good, I thought I’d have to follow you tonight and grab him when he’s about to let you in and beat his ass,”
“Whatever you owe me a new phone”
“What? I do not”
“You smashed it”
“You provoked me” I stared into his pale blue eyes as he stared into mine he blinked
“YES!”
“Come on, I want a do-over something went in my eye”
“No way you lost now I want a complete replica of the one you just smashed make sure it’s new,”
“That’s not fair, why can’t I buy a used one”
“Because dear big brother, the one you smashed was new”
“That’s still not fair”
“Go cry about it but not now I need that phone by tomorrow before mom and dad come back from their business trip,” I said as I pat his shoulder I wanted to pat his head But I’m too short.
“Don’t wait up”
“Where are you going?” I asked as he reached the door.
“To Stacy’s”
“Why?”
“Are a detective or something dang,” I looked at him expectantly
“Fine,” he sighed “I'm going to see if she’s ok and if she needs anything”
“Aww my big brother has a heart”
“What’s that supposed to mean”
“Nothing, tell Stacy I said hi”
“I thought you hated her”
“I do, but she’s carrying my niece-”
“Or nephew”
“yeah and nep-”
“I said or not and” really not this again, my brother believes that if you say something it’ll come true, he calls it ‘speaking things into being’ it gets annoying but I put up with it because he puts up with my pranks and schemes all the while it’s the least I can do,
“Don’t talk to strangers or let in anyone you know,” he shouted as he drove off, I shook my head as I closed the door and then made my way into the kitchen picked up all the snack sweets and beverages I could carry and went back to the living room where I spent the rest of the night eating and listing to Gordon Ramsey curses more than my grams when she looses at bingo.
