Victor I swear to God...

We were all out in the garden. I was reading a book while the others were playing. I over heard their conversation, though. 

Jacob - What do you mean "You want to lift someone?"

Victor - I mean I want to lift someone!

Olive & Claire - What about us?

Victor - I appreciate the thought girls, but I want something...new

The next thing I know, Victor gently pushes my book down and looks at me. He's smiling.
'Katelyn...'
I pointed at him.
'Victor...no.'
'Come on! I won't drop you.'
'You know I don't like being picked up!'
I scrambled out the way just as his arms reached out to grab me. I ran around the garden with him trailing behind me while I was screaming,
'No, no, no, no, no, no!'
Meanwhile everyone was laughing their heads off. Even Millard and Bronwyn! How convenient.

'Bronwyn, aren't you going to do something?!'
'Nope.'
'Why???'
'Cause she won't give into me!'
'Oh shut up Victor and STOP CHASING ME!'
'I think I'll pass on that.'

But I won in the end. He gave up and apologised. I smiled and held out my arms for a hug. He accepted and squeezed me (quite tight).

After I left, I found Millard and went over.
'You were helpful.'
'I'm sorry. But I hadn't laughed like that in a while.'
I raised an eyebrow.
'So you don't laugh when you're with me, then?'
'No, that's not what I meant-'
I smiled at him, too.
'I'm just messing with you, silly.'
