Chapter 18: Pesto

"Do you think it's going to work?" I asked doubtful about his plan.

"Yup it had been scientifically proven that locking people up in a room resolves all their indifferences", he said matter of factly.

"Really?"

"No I just made that up", he said jokingly. "But trust me princess it's gonna work", he said.

"Okay if it doesn't you are treating me to pizzas for a whole month", hey I needed to get something good out of this if my friends didn't stop fighting.

"Deal! And if I win we get to go on a date".

"What?" I asked. Did I hear that right? He wants to go on a date with me. With me? I felt the butterflies in the stomach going all frenzy.

"You heard what I said princess. Do you agree or not?" He was smirking, I couldn't quite interpret what going on in his mind from his face.

"Hmm okay", I mumbled, looking down.

"Get ready for the date princess because I am gonna win this bet".

..............

"Call him and make sure you sound convincing", I whispered while Leo had his cell phone pressed to his ear.

"Hey George. What's up man? It's Leo...... Yeah... Listen Emma here is kinda sick and.... I don't know what to do. Can you come over? Like right now?....... Yeah. No I have it under control.... I guess... okay man I will see you in 10 minutes", with that he hung up, giving me a triumph smile. He looked adorable with his hair lazily brushed to the sides and he was wearing his blue t shirt made his eyes look even more brighter.

"So we are done calling both of them, we just have to wait for them", I said getting up on the counter, digging my spoon in the ice cream bucket that Leo and I were sharing.

"Princess you can't have ice cream", he took the bucket away from me.

"Why?" I asked displeased. No one stops me from having my ice cream. Specially cookie dough and fudge brownie flavoured.

"Cause I told your friends that you have diarrhoea. And its not healthy to eat high lactose foods during diarrhoea".

"You piece of shit!" I cursed.

"Yeah your regular runs to the bathroom must remind you of that", he said empathically.

I elbowed him in the rib cage but of course he wasn't affected as he was a beast compared to me. "We can save all these hitting for the bedroom", he said giving his signature cocky smirk.

The bell rang, "Shit they are here!"

I rushed to the room to see if the pillows were placed underneath the blanket or not, to give off an impression that I was sleeping wrapped under the blanket. I heard Leo open the main door so I hid in my mother's room. I jet the door slightly ajar to listen to what was happening outside.

"Where is Em?" Hailey asked, shit she sounded really worried.

"Inside the room. Sleeping. I am not sure what to do with her. She doesn't even want to go to the hospital", Leo replied. Oh he was good. He sounded almost convincing.

"Let's go and see her", next I heard the sounds of people coming upstairs.

"Oh god she looks miserable", George said sounding despondant.

I was trying my best to keep in my laughter. "Get out princess it's time!"Leo signalled me from outside.

I got out to see both my best friends in my room. They were shocked to see me,"Em how are you-".
