↳ ❝Yeah, your boyfriend's 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐥..❞ Her deep voice making me feel undeniably excited.
My breath hitches as she leans closer to the side of my head , tucking a hair strand behind my ear in pure gentleness.
She chuckles , ❝But he's...

Thea's POV :
"Ahem."
Alerted, I raise my head to my front porch , calming down when i make eye contact with Aunt Maria.
Ellie seems to notice , releasing me from our hug and backing away to come face to face with Maria. A bright smile made its appearance on her face . "What's up Maria?"
Maria chuckled in a fake way , "What's up is that I was welcomed into my home with a flooded floor." She deadpanned , walking down the steps to stand in front of both of us . Ellie turned into a block of ice , her smile turned into a thin line , glancing at me for a split second.
Maria seemed to catch on and her gaze dropped on me , "Care to explain?" Her brow raised , her palms on each side of her hips.
"It wasn't-"
"It was those chickens!"
. . .
My brows furrowed slightly , staring at Ellie who just blurted out the weirdest lie .
I hold up a hand , "Uh-"
Ellie cuts me off, "You know , the chickens that always end up outside of their cages !" She glanced at me for a second , "The chickens almost destroyed that shirt you love wearing-which one was it?- oh! That red one."
I shush Ellie by continuing , "Yup-! They uh- We ran after them in the kitchen and they made a whole ruckus!"
"-So that's why, the kitchen is flooded" Ellie finished with a grin.
Maria looked between us in turns and sighed , "I can tell you're lying ." She rolls her eyes . "I've already cleaned the mess up."
She gestures to follow her inside , and we do. "Tommy already left , since he's helping with the decor."
I close the door behind us and walk into the kitchen , to find Joel drinking , a type of wine ?
He looks at Ellie and I and nods his head to the front door , "Get you're jackets , I'm predicting some cold weather tonight."
Ellie chuckled and walks towards him , grabbing the bottle of wine he was drinking from , "You said that last time and we ended up with a humid storm."
He huffed and let his arm hang on her shoulder and gives her a small hug , kissing her head . "Well, you're old man's right this time."
She just rolled her eyes and fetched a glass from the upper cupboards , "I've got a flannel one in the living room."
