THE BOY NEXT DOOR

JEALOUSY & APOLOGIZING

Aimee's POV
We just finished watching a movie and Leanna fell to sleep on my should. "I'll bring her upstairs" I chuckled, looking down at Leanna. "No. I'll bring her!" Connor says, getting up and picking Leanna up bridal style. As he starts walking upstairs I saw Rydel give him a look. Not any look, but a jealousy look.

Why did she look jealous? I just dropped it, because I didn't want to start anything. We're going through enough already. "We'll, go back home! Thanks for letting us stay though!" Stormie says, about to grab her back.

"No! Why don't you guys stay for a few days?! I mean, with everything that has happened, you must be scared and we don't mind you staying. I bet the kids would love it!" My mom suggested and we all yelled a "HOORAY!"

They laughed and my mom looks at Rydel. "You could share the room with Aimee so bring your stuff and just put it on Aimee's bed!" My mom told Rydel and Rydel went upstairs.

I jumped onto Ross's lap and smiled. "I'm going to make dinner!" Bryan says, getting up with my mom and walking into the kitchen. "I'm going to the bathroom!" Ellington says, walking out of the room.

"Aimee, have you notice anything...weird about Rydel?" Stormie asked, and I looked at her. "Weird?"

"Yea. Like has she been upset lately or something?" She asked. "Well, now that you mention it, I've notice Rydel has been down a little but I also noticed she looked jealous when Connor picked Leanna up before!" I say, laying my head on Ross. She nods walking into the kitchen. Everyone did their own thing while me and Ross were just sitting there.

I smiled kissing him. "I love you so much. Do you know that?" He asked, smiling and I nod. "So, how is it with Leanna here now? You know? Finding out she's still alive after all these years" he asked, and I sighed but smiled.

"I'll admit. It's weird. All these years, I thought she was dead and finding out she's still alive? It's a lot to take in. She was my best friend,practically my sister but I would trade this moment with anything else because having her back in my life, is all I have ever dreamed of" I smiled.

"She's so lucky to have a friend like you and I'm so lucky to have a girlfriend like you" he smirks, kissing me. "You put everyone first. You care about everyone no matter what and you never give up on anyone and that's the one thing I love the most about you!" He added, making me smile.

"Listen Ross, that's sweet but I wanna apologize. I feel like the whole Riker thing is my fault. If I never said anything about him killing Leanna, than none of this would be happening right now!" I say, frowning a little.

"No Aimee! Don't ever apologize for that! In fact, I wanna say thank you because if you never stood up to him, than we would still be in that house with that beast not knowing his true colors!"

"Well, don't thank me. Thank the person who send me that text!" I chuckled. He smiled, kissing me. "Uh okay. I'm getting up now" I say, getting off of his lap awkwardly.

"What? Why?" He asked, making the puppy dog eyes. "Well, your little friend is out!" I say, pointing down at his boner. "OMG!" He yelled, in embarrassment as he grabbed a pillow and hid his boner behind the pillow.

"Can someone get the Connor and Rydel?! Dinners ready!" Mom says, from the kitchen. "I WILL!" I yelled, rolling my eyes walking away laughing. I walked upstairs and went into my room to get Rydel but she wasn't in there.

"Rydel?" I asked, looking around. I got no answer.

Maybe she went downstairs?

I then walked towards Connor's door and knocked but no answer. I opened the door and regretted it the second I did it. Rydel and Connor were naked....and doing it.

"EWWWW! GROSS!" I yelled, running downstairs, disgusted with what I just saw. I thought Rydel was dating Ellington? Why would she be sleeping with my brother, aka HER EX BOYFRIEND?!

"What's wrong?" Ross asked, and I looked at him. "Nothing" I lied, sitting at the table. "Don't lie. You look like you're going to get sick" he says.

I was about to say something until Rydel and Connor came down. Rydel looked at me with a "please don't say anything" face. "Yea. Like I'm going to tell everyone that you two were doing it upstairs!" I chuckled, but once I realized I said it out loud, my eyes widened and so did everyone else's.

"What did you just say?" My mom asked, staring at me blankly. "Uhhh, nothing. So what are we having for dinner?" I asked, obviously knowing what we're having but I needed to change the subject quickly. We were having pizza.

"Thanks a lot! You almost told everyone!" Rydel whispered, sitting next to me. "Just be glad I didn't!" I whispered back, but with a angry and hurt tone.

"So, is your little friend gone?" I whispered in Ross's ear and he gives me a look. I smirked, as my hand slipped off of the table and onto his 'area' on "accident". He gasped but it wasn't any kind of gasp. It was like a moan gasp.

Everyone looked at him and I bursted out laughing. "Whoops" I giggled. "I hate you!" He says. "You love me!" I say, and we've been doing that for the past 5 minutes. We just continued to eat dinner and I ignored both Rydel and Connor for the rest of the night.
