Storms Ahead

|Chapter 120 : Tea|

Landing with a thud I watched as Ali dropped my trunk and it fell over before I opened Chiara's cage and she flew out towards the kitchen as we were met with a screech a couple of moments later

"There's an owl!"

"Yeah. No fucking shit Adam" Alex shot at him as I swapped an amused look with Ali, leaving the trunk and cage where it was before we headed to the kitchen as I looked at him

"Can I have some tea please?"

"Why did you ask?"

"Because I'm tempted to have the honey and lemon stuff you drink"

"Alright.... one tea. So how do you take it?"

"W-with my hands?" He asked quietly after a few silent moments as I stopped at the kitchen cupboard that had my box of tea as I turned to him and we looked at each other confused, Adam rolling his eyes as Alex turned to him

"That's not-"

"You're a dumb bitch"

"Thank you"

"I meant how do you want it made?" I asked after throwing a nearby apple at Alex's head as he sat and scowled at me while I gave him and Adam a grin as Ali looked at me with a smile

"Just with a little bit of sugar"

"You drink sweet tea?"

"Yes-"

"Ha! Child" Alex scoffed as I turned to him with a look as he looked back at me with a look like mine

"Why are you being such an impolite dickhead today? Because incase you've forgotten: Nathan takes sugar with his tea and so does Adam and Jayden. So I don't understand as to why you feel the need to mock Ali for having sugar with his tea when you wouldn't bring it up to the others. So for once in your life, instead of being a complete arsehole, sit still and fucking zip it" I told him as we stared at each other with narrowed eyes

"You can't talk to me like that"

"Oh yeah? Well who's going to fucking stop me?" I asked as he stood up and stared at me, his wand loosely in his hold as I reached for mine and held it at my side

"Do it. I fucking dare you-"

"Enough of this. Alex sit fucking down and Amelia put your bloody wand away for heavens sake-"

"Shut up Adam! I'll do what I want and quite frankly, I want the respect I deserve from her!-"

"Respect?! What fucking respect do you think you deserve?! You've never done anything remotely helpful for me but yet I've still been nice and kind to you!"

"Fucking get a grip of yourself!"

"Oh go and fuck yourself!"

"Go back to hell, you piece of fucking shit!"

"You're a pathetic fucking arsehole!"

"If this is the way you talk to and treat people then I'm not surprised at the fact that nobody likes you!"

"You say that as if I'm supposed to be bothered by that! I know people don't like me!" I shouted back at him as he grabbed his wand and apparated out just after I had thrown a nearby spoon at him as the kitchen fell silent and I listened to my blood pound in my ears before turning around as I took my tea out and set it down

"Amelia?"

"I'm going for a walk" I mumbled with a shrug as I left the kitchen, pressing a cup into Ali's hands as I passed before disappearing out the back door as I walked off in the direction of the woods.
