The boy who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window
Chapter 15: Jealousy Unleashed

Chapter 15: Jealousy Unleashed

It took a long time to clear the house. Someone had been sick in the back yard so I sent Jake out to clear that, while I worked on the kitchen, collecting all of the empty cups and bottles. It seemed like the party had gotten a bit out of hand when Liam and I had gone to bed, and my drunken ass of a brother hadn’t bothered to stop it.

"This is the reason why I stay sober," Liam stated, scrunching his face up in disgust at the vase full of urine on the windowsill in the lounge.

"You stay sober to stop people from peeing in my mom’s ornaments?" I asked, laughing hysterically.

He nodded. "Surprising, but true. There’s always one who can’t be bothered to walk to the bathroom," he joked, making me laugh harder.

He smiled at me, making my heart melt, and Jake walked in. "Wow, did I actually hear you two laughing at something together in here? That’s a first," he said, looking at what Liam was holding and flinching.

"I’d better go sort this out," Liam muttered, walking off quickly. I could tell he was a bit uncomfortable lying to Jake, but I was really sure that a couple of weeks would be best, just to make sure this was what we both wanted.

"Jake, can Kate stay this weekend? Her parents are out of town and she doesn’t want to stay in the house on her own," I asked, giving him my puppy dog face.

He grimaced. "Ugh! That girl does nothing but flirt with me, I wouldn’t mind so much if she was older, but I mean jeez, she’s my little sister’s age! Ew!" he said with a fake shudder.

"So, you don’t think a sixteen year old should go out with an eighteen year old?" I asked, trying to be casual.

He didn’t buy it, he looked at me sceptically. "You’re not interested in any eighteen year olds, are you?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at me. I saw Liam coming back down the hall way from the corner of my eye.

"No, I was talking about Kate," I lied.

He nodded, seeming satisfied. "No, I don’t think they should. I mean, what sort of an eighteen year old would even look at a sixteen year old that way?" he asked, glancing at Liam as he walked past looking a little sheepish.

"It’s only two years, Jake, no big deal. You’re only freaked out because that’s the same age as me. Just because you wouldn’t date someone who’s my age doesn’t mean other guys feel the same way, right, Liam?" I countered, still trying for casual even though my voice cracked a little when I said Liam’s name.

"Right. I know a lot of hot ass sixteen year olds," Liam replied, winking at me behind my brothers back.

"Yeah, but you can’t date any of them!" Jake growled, turning to look at him and slapping him on the back of the head as he walked past. I met Liam’s gaze and was a little shocked. Wow, Jake really did know he liked me, and by the look of it, he was very opposed to the idea of us being together. This could be even more complicated than I first thought.

Kate let herself in about an hour later. "Hey, Jake. Hey, Liam," she purred as she walked in, giving them both a flirty smile. I saw Liam chuckle under his breath as he smiled back.

"Hi, Kate." Jake smirked, giving her a flirty wink. He really didn’t help himself, if he wanted her to leave him alone, then why did he encourage her?

"Come on, let’s leave the man-whores alone," I joked as I grabbed her hand and dragged her to my bedroom. I saw Liam smirk at me from the corner of my eye and I stifled a laugh.

"I can’t believe I get to spend the whole weekend here with you and your brother. Do you think Liam will stay here too?" she asked, her eyes sparkling.

"I don’t know, maybe you should ask him." I smiled a little uncomfortably. I could just imagine her flirting with Liam right in front of me; I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it.

She dumped her stuff on my floor and threw herself down on my bed. Suddenly she rolled over and grabbed my pillow off of my bed frowning at it, looking confused. "Amber, why does your pillow smell like cologne?"

I could feel my nerves bubbling up. "Er.... well I.... er.... Oh! Liam borrowed it when he stayed here, so it must smell like him," I lied, stumbling over my words.

She buried her head in the pillow. "Mmm, I’m sleeping with this one tonight," she stated, holding the pillow tight.

I choked on my laughter. "Whatever, Kate. Let’s go eat I’m starved." I pushed myself up off of the bed and walked towards the door so we could get the food ordered.

"I got this!" she chirped, waving a DVD in front of my face. Even the cover scared the heck out of me. I rolled my eyes and stalked out of the room plopping down onto the sofa next to Liam. He put his hand down onto the sofa next to mine and discreetly rubbed his little finger across mine when no one was looking.

"Have you ordered the food, Jake?" I asked, shifting sideways on the seat so that my knee touched Liam’s thigh. I saw a smile play at the corner of his mouth.

"Yep, done. It’ll be here in ten," Jake said, shifting up the other sofa a few inches because Kate had practically sat herself on his lap.

"So, Liam, will your fine ass be staying here tonight too? I’m more than happy to share my bed if you want. I may be scared from the movie, maybe I’ll need someone to make me feel better in the night," Kate purred seductively.

I felt him shift his weight closer to me so my leg was on top of his more. "Nope, I can’t. I’m busy tonight. You’ll just have to manage without me." He shrugged and looked away to the TV.

"Oh well. It’ll have to just be you then Jake, if you’re interested," she purred.

I didn’t hear his reply; my ears had started to ring. I actually started to feel jealous. It was the first time I had ever felt anything like that before, I wanted to stand up and shout at my best friend to leave Liam alone. I burst out laughing and then bit my lip to stop.
