Love Hates Me

TELEPATHY

CHAPTER FORTY

I looked at the clock and it was 8:00 AM. I got up from bed and grabbed a warm robe and wore it. It was so fucking cold. I went out of my room. I couldn't sleep the whole night. I have no idea what the fuck is going on, all this is so weird.

I saw Cedric in the kitchen. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and black sweatpants and was making waffles. The smell of waffles reached my nose and my stomach growled. I was really hungry. I sat on the table and Cedric came with two plates of waffles. He passed me one plate, took the other one and sat next to me. "How did you wake up so early?" Cedric asked, adding whipped cream on his waffle.

"I couldn't sleep." I told him. I was sitting with my chin on my hands and my elbow on the table. He made a smiley face on my waffle with the whipping cream. A smile crept on my face looking at my waffle. "Really?" I chuckled and took a bite of waffle. I will never be able to get over the food Cedric makes. It tastes so delicious. "Please be my personal chef." I told Cedric. He smiled at me and passed his plate to me. I raised my eyebrows.

"You can have mine too." He said. I shook my head and gave him his plate. "That isn't necessary." I told him. He shrugged, a smile lingering on his face. I was so tense yesterday, if I actually liked Cedric, would I behave the way I do with him? We're just friends. Maybe those thoughts crossed my mind because I was sleep deprived. "Fine, your wish." He said. He flicked my nose and I scrunched my face.

"Don't ever do this." I sternly told him. "Where's Noah?" I asked him.

"He must be sleeping." I nodded, eating my waffle. He looked at me and I raised my eyebrows.  "Kathleen, are you uncomfortable staying with us, with Noah and me." I vigorously shook my head. "Absolutely not, Cedric. Why would you think that?" I told him, looking at him.

"You have been acting weird so I thought that was the reason." he said, "I totally forgot that Angie was with her family." I gave him a small smile. "Ced, it's fine." I told him. I got up from the table. Brady came rushing towards me, I bent down and ruffled his head. Cedric sat down on his knees, next to me and kissed Brady's head. Brady licked his face and Cedric was telling him to stop. I took my phone out and started making a video.

"Brady, stop. You're destroying my hair." He said, tackling Brady. At this moment Cedric was lying on the ground and Brady was on top of him. Cedric started laughing his heart out. The sound of his laughter was so pleasant. Cedric looked at me. When he saw my phone was out and I was making a video, he stopped laughing.

"Brads, look, Kathleen's making our video. Tell her not to." He told Brady. Brady came towards me, wagging his tail. He looked up at me with his big eyes. He sat next to me, still looking at me. "I wasn't making your video Brady." I said, keeping my phone away. I posted the video on my Instagram story.

"Kathleen, why have you added this on your instagram?" He told me, showing his phone. I shrugged with a mischievous grin on my face. "Remove it." I ignored him. He started coming towards me. My phone was in my hand and I placed my hands behind me. "Cedric, stay away." I warned him. He arched his eyebrow.

"Give me your phone then." He said. He was standing just in front of me. I shook my head. "You won't?" He asked and I shook my head again. Cedric wrapped his hand around my wrist which was behind me and was trying to take my phone. We were just an inch away from each other, actually not even an inch. I had a tight grip on my phone, he was still trying to take my phone. I shrieked and Brady started barking. "Stop shouting." He whispered in my ear. It sent shivers down my body. I just pushed the weird thoughts coming in my mind. Cedric moved away from me and he had my phone in his hand. What the fuck? "Oh wow. It's locked." Cedric said, giving me my phone back. "My victory was for nothing." He said and plopped on the couch.

"Victory, like really?" I said, going and sitting next to him. He smirked and I rolled my eyes. He poked my waist and I jumped. He had a mischievous look on his face. "You are ticklish." He said. I shook my head.

"No, I'm not." I told him. He wiggled his fingers in front of me and that was enough for me to feel ticklish. "Cedric, no!" I shouted, laughing. Cedric's hand came in contact with my body and I burst out laughing. "Ced- Cedric, don't." I was lying on the couch and Cedric was above me, the two of us laughing.

"Why are the two of you making so much noise?" Noah said, coming out of his room. I looked at Noah, he still looked sleepy. When he saw us, his eyes widened for a second. "Before you two do anything, I think I should inform you that Angie and I also did it on the couch." Also? What does he mean by also? We instantly got up from the couch. I went towards the table where Noah was sitting. "On the couch, really?" I told him and he shrugged. "Ugh, I literally ate there yesterday." Cedric came beside me. "There are so many rooms in this house, Noah." Cedric said, taking out orange juice from the fridge. "Why the couch?"

"It's fun." Noah said, the smirk still on his face. "And Wilson, don't you remember the time when you-"

"Oh my god, before this conversation turns into something else, just shut up." I told them. Cedric and Noah started laughing. Cedric poured me a glass of orange juice. "Come on Em, tell us the weirdest place you've had sex." Noah said, passing an empty glass to Cedric.

"On the bed." I stated. "Or in a car." I muttered. Cedric and Noah looked at me. Their expression was priceless. They looked at each other and started laughing. "Will you two just shut up?" I told them and they started laughing even louder. Am I really stuck with these two? I pity myself.

"When was it?" Cedric asked. I slid the scrunchy off my hair and ran a hand through my hair. "It was in high school. I was a kid, he was a kid." They were listening so attentively, like if they miss even a word I say, the world will turn upside down. "End of the story." I told them. They groaned and I rolled my eyes.

"Okay tell us the first time you had sex." Noah asked. I grabbed the glass of orange juice they gave me and took a sip. "Why are you two so interested in my sex life?" I told them. Cedric took my glass and drank from it. I rolled my eyes.

"Cedric was right, you really do roll your eyes all the time." Noah said and I looked at Cedric. I folded my hands and gave him a look. He gave me an innocent look. Why would they even talk about me? "Angie, you have called at the most perfect time." Noah shouted over the phone. "Emma is going to tell us the first time she had sex."

"Not at all." I said and snatched the phone from him. "Angie why the hell did you leave me with these two? It's a fucking nightmare." I told her. She chuckled.

"I have been dealing with them for years, it's your time now." She shrugged. Noah snatched the phone from me. "Let me talk to my fiancee." Noah said and went to his room, leaving Cedric and I alone.

"Go and get ready. We are going somewhere." Cedric told me.

"Where?" I asked him. I felt something heavy on my foot, I looked down and saw Brady snoring on my feet. "Somewhere." He said. He is definitely the most annoying person.

***

I got ready. I was wearing slim-fit black jeans along with a white turtleneck and a black leather jacket. The weather was so freaking cold, I literally felt like going inside the blanket and never coming out. I hate winters. I tied my shoelace, took my sling and went out of my room. Cedric and Noah were still in their room. I went and sat on the couch, and started using my phone. I heard some footsteps and I looked up from my phone.

I looked at Cedric and he was wearing a black jeans, white t-shirt and a leather jacket. The same combination of clothes I was wearing. Cedric had an amused look on his face when he saw me. His hands went to a locket he was wearing and he tucked it inside his t-shirt. "Telepathy?" Cedric said, with amusement. I rolled my eyes.

"Coincidence." I told him and he chuckled. Noah came out of his room in sweats and t-shirt. Noah looked at me and then at Cedric. "Where are you going?" Noah asked us. I shrugged but Cedric gave him a look and I guess Noah understood from that. "You are not coming with us?" I asked him. He shook his head and threw keys towards Cedric. Cedric caught the keys and took the helmet. "Why are you taking the helmet?" I asked him.

"Because we are going on the bike, Kathleen." He said, handing me the helmet. "Any problem?"

"No." I said and took the helmet. We got out of the house and there was a bike standing near the house. I adjusted my helmet. Cedric got on the bike and I hopped on it. My hands wrapped around his waist and he started the bike.
