"Stop we gotta work" I laugh as Dallas throws a cherry stem at me

"How do you hate cherries?" He questions eating his second cherry

"I don't hate cherries, I actually love them, I just hate those specific ones. They're too sweet"

"You're insane" Dallas grins "I could tie one of these without using my hands" he holds up the stem of the cherry he just ate

"Dude we seriously have to work" I tell him

"You seriously don't want to see me tie a knot with just my mouth? C'mon that is one of my best talents" he whines

I think for a minute before looking back up at him "fine, I do wanna see that"

He just laughs before popping the stem in his mouth. His jaw moves and he makes some really unattractive faces that I can't help but laugh at as he tried to tie the stem

"Those are some really attractive faces you're making" I laugh as he playfully glares at me

"And done" he mumbles before taking the now knotted stem out of his mouth

"Wow look at you go" I grin "bet you show that trick to all the girls" I joke before closing my notebook

"Oh totally. Only usually they aren't as fun as you are about it" he laughs "usually they're disgusted"

"Have you met the guys I live with? Very few things actually disgust me" I snort. It was true. I grew up suffering through Dutch ovens and crop dusting day. To be honest, I still do,

"God I couldn't imagine living in a house full of people of the opposite gender. I couldn't deal with having only sisters."

"It's definitely something" I grin "They drive me absoloutely insane"

"I would assume so" He nods. "I embarrass my little cousins any chance I get"

"I can only imagine how embarrassing that is" I tease him

"Oh totally, the older two girls hate me but the youngest , Lisa, thinks I'm hilarious" He shrugs before eating a it of his ice cream

"I'm glad someone does" I smirk at him

"That wasn't nice" He playfully pouts before taking a spoonful of my ice cream "and this is your punishment"

"Okay that's fair" I laugh at him

"Oh so a little birdie told me your birthday is in exactly a month" he grins making Em roll my eyes

"let me guess, your little birdie is a 5'6" blonde, with big blue eyes and a loud mouth?"

"If you're talking about your best friend, then yes" He laughs "So I was thinking I could take you out for dinner" He grins

"Oh uh, could we do it the day after or before?" I ask him reluctantly "I'm sorry, we just usually have a giant family thing on our birthdays"

"Of course!" He smiles "We can go out and do whatever you want the whole night"

"That would be awesome" I grin "and before you ask, don't get me anything"

"You know I'm getting you something" He refutes with a simple shrug

"You don't have to get me anything"

"I know." He shrugs "You know I really like you right?"

"I like you too" I grin "You aren't nearly as bad as I first thought you were. I'm being totally honest, I thought you were just another stuck up rich douchebag, a hot douchbag, but a douchbag nonetheless. I would never admit that to my brothers though cause they also thought you were exactly that. I just had to be difficult and argue with them." I say taking a bit of my ice cream carefully. I didn't want to look like a total mess in front of him,

"Really? I thought you were gorgeous, and then I started talking to you and I thought you were one of the coolest people I've ever met"

"Really?"

"Mhm"

"Wow. Now I feel like a bitch" I feel my cheeks heat up "I'm sorry I- I didn't-"

"You're blushing" He chuckles "and no you aren't a bitch, believe me I know bitch. I've dated bitch. You are just honest, its refreshing actually"

"Oh, well thanks" I let out a breath of relief. Sometimes I say things I probably shouldn't. They're honest thoughts, but sometimes I'm just too blunt. I've been yelled at on countless occasions for speaking before rationally thinking by my dad.

"No problem" He grins before looking down at his watch "Okay I think we got some good work done here" he smiles looking down at our now closed textbooks

"We did three homework questions" I deadpan. We got absolutely no work done at all.

"That's three more than the amount of homework questions I've done in the past month. And that is definitely a win in my book" he laughs, offering his hand to me after picking up his bag

"I can't stand you" I laugh taking his hand and standing up "Thanks for the ice cream Dallas"

"Anytime Belle" He grins before planting a light kiss on my lips and leading me out of the ice cream shop.

---------------

"BELLE!" Beck yells down to me from the kitchen

"WHAT?" I yell through he house as I make my way down the stairs.

Most families talk at a normal volume. We are not one of those families.

"We're out of flour, I need it for the cake. Can you run over to the Kazers to see if they have any?"

"Why don't you just text Co?" I question, right now I just wanted to relax

"I did, he's not answering. Can you just run over there really quick for me?"

"Yeah no problem, I'll be back In a few" I say before slipping my slippers on and walking out the door across the street.

"Co!" I knock on the door. No one answers, so I just casually open the door and walk in like I usually do. At this point its normal for us to just walk in eachothers houses.

"Kazer!" I call through the house, but get no response. The further I walk down the hallway to the kitchen, I hear faint pornstar sounding moans coming from the family room.

"Oh my god" I laugh as I lean against the wall before walking in. "Pause you're porn and stop jacking off for a sec I need flour" I yell out to him, giggling like an idiot in the process

"Princess?" Caleb calls out as the moans stop,

"Kazer" I laugh, still standing in my position against the wall

"You can come out you know, my dick isn't out" He calls over, playfulness evident in his voice

I slowly round the corner with a shit eating grin on my face and burst out laughing as soon as I see him.

"Haha very funny." He rolls his eyes at me as he leans one shoulder on the wall "and for your information, I'm watching Game of Thrones, you just so happened to walk in on a sex scene"

"Sure it was bud" I tease him "You know your sisters could walk in at any time right?"

"They aren't home, hence why I'm watching it. I can never watch it when Bexley's home, since I just dropped her off at her sleepover with Max and Julia, I decided to continue to catch up. Oh by the way your niece loves me more than you" He defends himself

"Yeah okay well your nephews love me more than you so it's even. I'll let you get back to your porn In a sec, I just need some flour" I joke pushing off the wall to walk over to his pantry

"Why?" He questions, following me into the kitchen

"Beck got bored and decided to make a cake, we ran out of flour and he needed more" I reason

"Ah okay" he nods before leaning back against the kitchen table

"How are you not cold?" I question. He was currently shirtless with only a pair of black sweatpants that I am almost positive belonged to one of my brothers. They all just kinda shared clothes.

"I don't know, how are you not warm?" He flips the questioning making me grin. I was still in my cubs crew neck but changed from my leggings to a pair of Beck's sweatpants.

"Well played Kazer" I say before opening the pantry

"Top shelf to the right" He tells me though I already knew.

"I know where it is" I grumble as I stand on my tippy toes to grab the small bag of flour. I was too short to reach it though.

"I think those are my sweatpants" he says before walking over to me, knowing very well that I couldn't reach it

"I thought they were Beck's" I question looking down at the waistband "I grabbed them from his closet"

"Yeah but the pair I had always had a small hole in the ass like those do" he shrugs as he hand the flour bag to me

I start to turn and look to see if I can see the hole bit stop when I realized he was looking at my ass. I instantly feel my cheeks heat up at that fact.

"Kazer" I look up at him

"Princess"

"Why are you looking at my ass?" I question

"It was purely for investigational purposes" he boyishly grins "I just simply wanted to see if the hole was there"

"Kazer?"

"Yes princess?" I try not to grin every time he does this, usually I fail but this time I was holding strong

"Stop looking at my ass" I can feel myself start to blush as I say this.

"If you insist " he laughs "I love how I can still make you blush"

I just roll my eyes before throwing the little bag of flour at him. What I didn't expect was for the bag to completely explode.

I try but fail to stifle my laugh causing bubbles of laughter to erupt from me. He just stands there dumbfounded, looking back from himself to me.

"I am so sorry I didn't know it'd explode" I laugh more as he tries to shake some of the flour out of his messy hair.

"I want a hug" He grins as he approaches me with open arms, one hand still had the bag of flour in it.

"I don't!" I yell at him as I try to run, but he traps me against the counter.

"Wanna rethink that?" He taunts as he towers over me. His arms on either side of me, leaning against the counter. My stomach started doing the weird thing again as soon as I made eye contact. Why the hell does this keep happening?

"Nah I'm good" I grin before ducking under one of his arms in an attemt to escape.

"You deserve a hug" He laughs before wrapping me up from behind in a hug, and spins around.

"Kazer put me down!" I yell at him. He doesn't though and continues to dump the remaining four that was in the bag onto my head

"Now I have to take another shower" I huff

"That was fun" he says, I don't have to look to know he's grinning.

He was still holding me ask back was still against his chest, and his one arm still around my waist

"Your butt is vibrating" he laughs before setting me down. My phone was vibrating in my back pocket, that just so happened to be against his thigh

"It's Beck" I say before sending the call to voicemail. "Well now we have no flour"

"It was so worth it" he laughs at me before standing up and throwing his black t-shirt on

I shake my hair that was in a messy bun out in attempt to rid my hair of any flour. Before sitting across from him at the table.

"You still have some flour" he grins

"Where?" I question

"Everywhere" he laughs at me

"No shit" I join in on his laughter "that was actually pretty fun"

He just laughs before getting up and going back into the family room. He resumes his Game of Thrones before turning back to me.

"Coming?"

"I'm gonna get flour all over your couch" I laugh "Plus the only person I'll watch pornos with is Emma"

"Wait what?" He questions, his eyes going wide

"It was one time, and it was the funniest porno I've watched in my life, Emma and I couldn't stop laughing" I say with a funny grin. It really was a hilarious porno. "There was one guy dressed as an innocent clown and he only spoke clown language. He even yelled "BING BING At one point before rapidly honking his clown nose and orgasming. It was possibly the funniest video I've seen in my life." I'd be lying if I said it was the weirdest promo I've watched with Em. Once you watch porn with your best friend, there's really no going back, you two are stuck for life.

"Damn I thought that story would be a lot hotter than it was" Caleb pouts

"You're so stupid" I laugh at him before looking back at the screen

"This is the good part, with the gold and Viserys" He tempts

"I love that part!" I smile before joining him on the couch

We spent the next hour watching this episode of game of thrones. It was the second to last episode in the first season. I'd already seen all the episodes

"Beck gave up on the cake" I laugh as I sit up from my pillow AKA Calebs leg.

"Damn I kinda wanted cake" he pouts

"Well you should've thought of that before dumping the rest of the flour on me" I laugh at him

"Touché princess" he laughs before looking at his phone

I just smile at his smile. He was acting so differently than he was earlier.

"You're smiling weirdly again" he grins at me

"You're back to you" I shrug before sitting back down

"What do you mean?" He questions slightly tilting his head to the side

"I don't know you were just acting weird earlier" I tell him "You had the whole asshole act going on when I left."

"Yeah" he sighs "I just- was being stupid and I'm sorry about that, I'm never like that, especially towards you of all people. It just hasn't been the best day for me." He says before wrapping his arm around me. I instictively scoot closer to him as we continue to talk

"Why's That?" I ask him as I rest my head on his shouldered

"Just things with my dad, and some other stuff" he shrugs "It's just stupid things that we don't have to talk about. I'm good now so it's all that matters" he smiles at me, his real one that showed off his dimple.

"You sure?" I question, quirking an eyebrow as I look up at him

"Positive princess, you don't have to worry about me" he nods before looking back down at his phone "on a much happier note, are you excited for our birthday?" He asks

"You should be the excited one, you're going to be eighteen" I smile up at him "That's actually scary, you're gonna be considered and actual adult"

"Yeah it is" he grins "It doesn't feel like it"

"Yeah, you'll always be the constant annoyance I've had to deal with my whole life though no matter how old we are"

"It's common knowledge that you're MY constant annoyance, not the other way around" Caleb scoffs

"Yeah sure it is bud" I roll my eyes at him

"Please you love me" he looks down at me with a lazy grin plastered don't his face

"Yes I am and have always been undeniably in love with you Kazer" I say sarcastically with an eyeroll

"I'm glad you've finally accepted it" Caleb laughs at me

I just roll me eyes at him before returning them to the screen.

"Oh Beck's calling me" He says before answering me

"Yeah she's here" he states

I hear Beck talking, Caleb nods along but with a shit eating grin the whole time.

"We were watching Game of Thrones"

Beck's voice got significantly louder on the other end. He loved this episode

"Dude you were making a cake! We didn't want to disturb you" Caleb laughs before putting Beck on speaker

"I WAS making a cake, I sent my bitchass of a twin over there to get me flour for said cake and she never came back!" Beck yells making me laughs

"Calm down there bitchass" I laugh at him just trying to egg him on "There was a small-uh-predicament with the flour. So uh Co and I MAY have had a mini flour war and we MAY be covered in flour"

"First off, Thanks for putting me on speaker asshole!" Beck yells at Caleb

"You're welcome!" Co chimes from beside me

"Second, I told you to get me flour not fuckin wear it" Beck grumbles

"Sorry brother twin!" I laugh but stop when it goes silent "Fine I'll come home you party pooper."

"Thank you" He says sassily. I swear sometimes that asshole has more attitude than me. When he's super bored he likes to bake, and when he can't do that he just become even more bored resulting in a crabby twin. It's fun to push his buttons

"Oh by the way we watched your favorite episode! Bye!" I laugh before quickly hanging up on my brother before Co and I both burst into a fit of laughter

"You love pushing his buttons" Caleb laughs as he shakes his head at me

"Of course! He's my brother, what kind of sister would I be if I didn't piss him off every minute of the day?"
