One nice thing about being of age, relatives were a little less likely to insist on constant adult supervision. At least his New York ones were. Liam had insisted that he had a few more things he wanted to do in the city that Friday night and would prefer to join his uncle and cousin at the Long Island house on Saturday. Marcus had given him one of his patented are you crazy or just stupid?! looks, but Uncail Rory had agreed readily enough after a phone call to detail Aunt Cait to check on him that evening and transport him the next day. Let the Spaz have an evening to chat up his "new hottie neighbors"; Liam would take the time to himself in the loft apartment until Chuck got out of school. After that ... yeah.
He expected a phone call from the little blonde when she got home. Instead he got a bleep from his AIM while he was dinking around on his laptop.
Charlene Worth (8:12:12 PM): I hate you and Marcus for leaving me here, jsyk.
Oh geez. She hadn't gotten his text about his decision. She'd probably had her phone turned off while at school.
MontanaBoyLWM (8:13:28 PM): I haven't left yet, Pixie. I'm still upstairs.
Charlene Worth (8:14:55 PM): ...
Charlene Worth (8:15:03 PM): I love you
Charlene Worth (8:15:38 PM): screw AIM I'm coming up stairs.
MontanaBoyLWM (8:15:59 PM): ... good.
She loved him?
Liam shut down his laptop and waited for the doorbell, thoughts racing in circles. Did she mean that, or was she just happy he'd stayed? Jesus ...
He'd told Pixie Girl that they had things to talk about while he was in New York. Maybe they had more than he realized.
chuck,
new york,
