The Kissing Booth A New Chapter

REALITY

The next day Lee and Noah were in my room Lee, of course, not wanting to hear us talk about one of my favorite books again put in his music and started on his homework.  "Ok, so what did you think of Diana getting drunk?"  I chuckled as Noah shook his head "That was just so, wrong I mean what did those people expect she was never taught what that stuff was hell she never had anything nice until the Cuthberts."  "Well put that in there."  "So, you agree."  "Yep, especially since in that day and age Diana should have been sipping the drink and not chugging.  That was a time when ladies acted very different than nowadays."  "OK well, I am glad that was the last question I do love the competition between Anne and Gilbert reminds me of us always competing to see who would out prank the other one."  I couldn't help but laugh, "Yep, and I always won."  I push him, and we both fall over.  I was laying in Noah's arms when I heard a voice clear in the hall since the door was open.  "Lewis I thought I told you I needed time to cool off."  "Seems more like to flirt with Flynn."  Noah stood up "Dude relax we were just remembering old times she shoved me and we fell over just like old times I made sure I didn't land on top of her so I wouldn't hurt her."  Lee looks up, "Did I miss something?"  "I thought he was supposed to make sure this didn't happen."  I look at my Flynn boys, "Guys, how about you give us a minute than we can finish packing my stuff."  Lewis glared at me, "so; you're still moving in with them even though you know I don't approve."  "Look even though I have a scholarship and I get a dorm room and food from it I don't get money to buy the other things I need."  "So, what does that have to do with anything."  "If I want my dad to send me money for medicine, my woman's products, clothes, shoes and my books I read for fun I need to do what he asks and he doesn't want me in the dorm."  "Fine put someone else before me."  I shake my head as he storms off, "he needs to grow up."  "Shelly, stop he doesn't understand that we all are used to a different kind of life, and our parents are making sure we have that without us having to work.  Now, what time is your all's flight."  "We leave at five we still have about three hours."  "OK let's pack up here and then I will get you two to the airport."

As we get to the gate standing there with a bag is Lewis.  I look at him, "uhm, what are you doing here?"  "I am going with you."  "Lewis, this is not a fun trip for us.  I am going to be spending time at the cemetery talking to my mom and spending time with June."  "Well, why can't I go?"  "I need to clear my head and what are you going to do at the cemetery."  "I will just sit back and wait there, keeping an eye on you."  I look at him and glare "the only person allowed near me there is Lee."  "Why I am your boyfriend, not him?"  "Simple he is my best friend."  "Well, I already bought the ticket."  "Where are you staying?"  "Well, with you, silly."  "Lewis, I am staying with Lee."  "What?  Damn it Lil' lady you know I don't like you staying with other guys."  "Twin let me handle this."  I watch Lee pull out his phone.  "Max hey Shells stupid boyfriend is following us, and I was wondering is it ok if she stays at yours and I take him to mine."  "Oh, I see no if that is going on in the neighborhood, not a good idea to leave her alone."  "Oh, damn no, don't reschedule that.  I can not believe the little man set the kitchen on fire."  "He tried to set off a bottle rocket out the back door."  "I bet."  "No, I will call my rents and see if we can fix this.  Bye, Max."  "You bro how about this let Shells sleep in mine since it has a lock and Lewis can have one of the guest rooms."  Lewis looks up, "ahh hell no, she will not be sleeping in your room with you."  Noah shakes his head "Don't be a horses ass I am not going back; it is just these two dorks."  "Well, she will not be sleeping in her ex's room with or without you."  "Fine than Lee can sleep in mine and she can sleep in his."  I hear Lee "Oh, really mom that is great ok I will tell her.  I will we love you all too give everyone a big hug from all of us."  "yes, mam will let him know.  goodbye."  "Ok, first off Shells the guest room next to  Noah's has been remodeled, and all your extra clothes are there, and dad put a new lock on the door that is now your room.   As for you Lewis you will be staying in the guest room on the first floor to the left of the staircase."  I couldn't help but laugh, "Let me guess Mathew wants us on opposite ends of the house."  "Yep, he also told me to remind you that all the doors have motioned activated cameras and the new rule is now all-encompassing."  "Ah, ok and Lewis so that you know the new rule went from being Lee and I could no longer share a room to No members of the opposite s*x in the same room."  Noah looks at me "Ok, you three time to board.  Don't forget to facetime me, so I know you made it home do it from the game room."

The flight to LA was annoying every time Lee and I tried to plan out us going to see my mom Lewis would start an argument that it was his job to take me, not Lee's.  I was getting ready to deck Lewis.  I never realized how possessive he was until Noah and I started talking again and now that Lee and his sister broke-up he is now even giving me grief about being with Lee.  It turns out Sara couldn't handle the fact I walked in on Lee in his boxers and didn't bat an eye and continued to talk to him while he got dressed.  She had found out about it from his roommate, who happens to be a friend of her's cousin.  When we stepped outside, I hear, "Hey little Flynn, Evans overhear."  I turned and started laughing, "Yo, Tuppen what the hell you doing here?"  "Flynn texted me that you three were coming in and so here I am your chauffeur till we get too little Flynn's."  I ran up and jumped into Tuppen's arms, "I missed ya, dude."  "Same here, Evans.  See you should have gone to UCLA and you could see all this goodness all the time."  I rolled my eyes "Hell no give up Harvard for you nope not happening."  Tuppen takes our bags and looks at Lewis "Oh, Hey, I am Charles Tuppen, but everyone just calls me Tuppen."

"Lewis Elle's boyfriend."  "Yeah, I know Flynn told me.  Evans front seat I do not want to deal with Little Flynn's antics right now.  Plus you have to tell me what it is like being the first Frosh to be captain of the Women's Soccer team."  "It is awesome although I guess Buckner Hall made me tough because the rest of the team hates the workout regime."  I get in the front while I hear Lewis grumble and climb in the back with Lee.  "What your using that old work out you and Flynn came up with?"  "Yep" "damn girl, are you trying to kill them."  I started laughing as Tuppen pulled out of LAX, "Just get us, home, dork."  

We were all laughing as we pulled into Lee's.  Since Tuppen was getting my bag and the boys their's, I went and unlocked the door.  I feel Lewis behind me, "So, you have a key?"  "Yes, this is my home away from home.  Both Flynn boys have one to my dad's too."  As we walk in, I hear Lewis, "Wow, this place is great."  Tuppen comes up "Yeah, it is Evans's is similar just a little smaller we passed it on the way here.  Oh, by the way, why is it under construction?"  Lee started laughing "because the little man tried setting off a bottle rocket out the kitchen door and it hit the door frame shot into the kitchen and caught the curtains on fire.  The whole kitchen needs to be remolded."  Tuppen started laughing, "I see little Evans is taking after his big sis."  "Ah, shut up, take that up to my room."  "Which one is it, Evans."  "To the right of the staircase."  "Ah, the one next to Flynn's ok got it."  Lewis looks at me "How in the hell does he know where your room is."  I roll my eye's "Because of all the parties that were thrown here.  Although back then, I would stay in either Lee's or Noah's rooms while they stayed in a guest room."  "Yo, little Flynn, Evans how about a usual party suspects."  I look at Lee, and I hear Tuppen humming the Jeopardy theme "come on finish your stupid silent conversation, so we can empty the fridge if it's a yes."  I turn to Tuppen, "OK, but you have to help and not just with the damn invites."  "You, know Noah is going to kill us."  "I don't care twin I am going for my swim first."  "No, your not twin first the fridge then we will do the rest."  "Fine."  I start emptying the fridge into the laundry basket I stole from the basement.  As I walk down, I can feel Lewis follow me.  "What are you doing little lady?"  "Oh, putting all the food down here.  One of Noah's parties, while we were all in high school some jack ass, poured milk, cereal, juice, and all the condiments and well almost all the contents of the fridge in the pool. Luckily nothing happened to the pool, but now just as a precaution, we empty the fridge."  I head back up and grab another load; it took me one more trip, and I was done.   After changing into my suit and jumping in, I swam my laps  I heard Lewis call me, but I ignored him.  Soon I heard Tuppen "Look, dude, she is not swimming for fun that is part of her exercise regime leave her alone believe me you do not want to piss off Evans when she is working out.  I heard what you did with her team and let me tell you she went easy on you there when I interrupted her laps by dive-bombing her she held me under for so long little Flynn almost had a heart attack.  That girl takes her workouts and team practices seriously; that is how she had our girl's soccer team go to and win the state championship."

 After my workout and shower, I texted Lee (Clubhouse 10).  I took off to June's reading nook after making sure that Lewis was nowhere in site went behind the curtain and pushed on the little Rosset and then crawled into our secret clubhouse.  It wasn't long before Lee joined me. I looked at him, "I put my phone on silent now your turn."  "Ok, done what is up."  "Look he is not going to let us go I heard him tell Tuppen he thinks you are trying to get Noah and me back together and that this whole trip is a ruse."  "Ok, so what are we going to do."  "Tomorrow we have to sneak out.  Ok, simple I will tell him I need to go to my house to get something and since it is under construction only I have permission to enter the property and that Mrs. Sanders next door will call the cops if he is loitering outside on the sidewalk since she doesn't know him."  "Well, that is true Elle she will."  "Yeah, I know."  "So, what do I do?"  "Tell both of us your meeting someone at the cafe.  Ten minutes after you leave text me, and I will put my  plan into motion and pick me up in front of Mrs. Sanders."  "OK got it. You do realize that this might cause you all to fight and break up."  "Yes, I do, but I can't take this possessiveness.  Damn Twin, he is worse than Noah."  

"That bad."  "Yeah, at least Noah let me talk to my friends that were guys.  Lewis doesn't even want me to do that."  "Ok, Well I am here if you need me as always twin.   Now how do we get out of here without him knowing where we are."  "Duh, the secret chute."  "Let's do this wait...look is that him."  "s**t hang on."  We sit there and watch Lewis looking for Lee and me.  "Come on you guys that f*****g moron Tuppen says the guests will be arriving soon.  Where the hell is you guys."  I slide out the chute and stand up jumping out of the way as Lee tumbles on to the floor just as Lewis walks back into the laundry room."  "Where the hell were you two."  "Sorry, not telling."  "Little lady I have a right to know where my girl was with another man."  At that point, I hear Tuppen "She wasn't with another man she was with Lee, please.  You two dorks the gang is starting to arrive but to plan the party not everyone can make it tonight."
