Patrick looked into his phone only to see messages from Matt.

'You bastard, can't you control yourself. Please keep your volume low.'

​​

'Bastard, are you planning to kill Emily?'

'You moron, Lisa here is now getting worried about her sister'

'Fucker, we prepared dinner, once you are done come downstairs and have your dinner'

These four messages were sent over the last six hours.

Patrick couldn't help but laugh when he read all the messages.

"What happened? Why are you laughing?" Emily asked him.

"It's Matt, see" He passed his phone to her and unlike Patrick, Emily was embarrassed reading all the messages.

"What is funny about it? You should be ashamed" Emily scolded him.

"Ashamed? Why?"

"You beast, my innocent sister too realized what we were doing. Ahhhh, how will I face her now?" Emily hid her face in the pillow.

"Chill, she is not a child and is a grown up woman, she understands all of it. I am sure, she is rather happy to see how well our relationship is going on" Patrick consoled her and messaged Matt.

'Emily is not in the condition to walk, after thirty minutes, you and Lisa come over here with dinner'

Patrick then carried Emily to the washroom.

…

Matt read the message from Patrick and fumed in anger.

"What happened?" Lisa asked him.

For the last few hours they have been binge watching a series to kill some time and to ignore the voices that they could hear sometimes.

"See, the audacity of that bastard." Matt showed the message he just received from Patrick to Lisa.

Lisa laughed harder, "Ahh, I feel bad for my sister, she can't walk"

"If you feel bad for her, how the hell can you laugh like that?" Matt scolded her.

"Hey, why are you sulking so much? Are you jealous?" Lisa teased him.

Matt scoffed at her, "Of course I am jealous, do you even know how long has it been since I had sex?"

Lisa ignored him and continued watching the series.

"Hey, how dare you ignore your seniors?" Matt made her look at him.

"Isn't it better to ignore the person who always keeps lying?"

"Lying? What am I lying about?" Matt looked confused.

Lisa took a deep breath, "Tell me one thing honestly"

"Hmm?"

"You are in love with Emily?"

For a moment there was silence and the next minute, the silence was disrupted by Matt's loud laughter.

"What is so funny?" Lisa looked angry at his reaction.

"Hey, Emily is just a friend. Are you crazy?" Matt again laughed, "My taste is not as bad as Patrick and Steve's, my taste is very classy"

Lisa punched his arm, "Are you saying my sister is not classy?"

"Obviously she is not. She is so tomboyish. My type is nice, lady-like, perfect. Emily is not my type" Matt declared.

"What is wrong with tomboyishness?"

"Nothing is wrong with it. It's just that those people are meant to be my friends only and I don't see them as a prospect partner for me. I have different tastes in women. People like Emily and Rachel who are tomboyish can only be my good friends, nothing more than that."

"Whatever" Lisa ignored him.

Matt looked at Lisa's side-profile, he was not sure what was happening to him, but he was feeling weird. He turned to watch the television, unsure of what suddenly happened to him as he almost blurted out that women like Lisa are his type but he couldn't say those words and kept quiet.

After thirty minutes, they headed upstairs with dinner for Patrick, Emily and themselves. Before going upstairs, Lisa warned Matt to not tease the two people and to act normal, so he didn't tease Emily and Patrick at all and the four people had a heartful dinner together.

…

At Rehearsals

When Jimmy and Jessica entered his rehearsal place, the atmosphere, unlike every other time, was very chaotic.

"Woah, why is everyone stressed?" Jessica exclaimed.

"Because the play is in less than a week. Darling go and enjoy yourselves, don't stress like us" Jimmy patted Jessica's head. She laughed at his antics and went to sit in the audience.

Megan, who was stressed about the play, felt relieved when she saw Jimmy but today too he came with this pretty lady again.

Last week too he brought this woman with him for their rehearsals.

The woman with him looked extremely beautiful, Megan was sure she was Jimmy's girlfriend.

Jimmy joined his three co-stars.

"Hey guys, sorry I am late, there was a situation at my home" Jimmy immediately apologized.

"It's okay bro, you were only fifteen minutes late" Leo assured him.

"Who is that girl with you Jim?" Zoey, his other co-star, asked him.

Megan was curious too but she didn't ask Jim as she was not comfortable poking her nose in his personal life.

"She is obviously his girlfriend, right bro?" Leo asked Jim, winking at him.

When Megan heard that, she was not sure why but her heart felt heavy but the next moment Jim's response surprised her.

"Nope dude, she is my sister." Jim informed them.

"Woah, your sister is a hottie man" Leo praised Jessica only to get glared at by Jimmy.

Leo got scared seeing Jim angry as this was the first time he ever saw this fun guy look so furious and agitated, "Dude, this is the first time you commented on her so I am letting you off with a warning. Don't you dare hit on my sister or else she will beat you up"

"Bro, you should say 'I will beat you up'" Leo got confused at his words.

"No dude, I don't need to, my sister is enough to handle people like you" Jim started laughing and they all realized he was pretending to be furious.

"Your acting improved a lot, now we can't even differentiate when you are acting and when you are being real" Megan genuinely praised him.

Jim bowed to her, "Thank you mademoiselle, I accept your praise"

"Guys, back to rehearsals" Amanda shouted at her actors and they all quickly took the position.
