Chapter 31: Hansel is back
“Angel—Chip?”
My eyes focused.
“Hey, you okay?” Xander leaned down to part the strands of my fringe, concerned.
My chest clenched, hard and tight.
I didn’t want him to worry about me—didn’t want to trouble his thoughts any further, and so, for the first time—
I lied to Xander.
“Don’t worry,” I smiled, “I’m fine.”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rose was transferring the left-overs from the bakery to the kitchen when we arrived, and Giselle was busy counting them.
“One, two, one, two…four…”
Rose bent down and gently taped Giselle’s shoulder.
“One,” She pointed to the first chocolate bun, “two, three, four—“
“We’re home!” I announced, hanging my book bag at the bottom of the stairs before coming over to the counter.
“Oh! Chip, Xander—you’re back! There’s something I forgot to tell you yesterday—uh, it’s about—“
“CHIP?? HAVE YOU BEEN USING STRAWBERRY-FLAVOURED LUBE??”
I recognized the loud voice calling from the top of the staircase.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“W-Wait, Hansel’s back? Since when?” I stammered, suddenly remembering that I have yet to change the sheets and that o-our room was full of Xander’s scent—
“Whose underwear is this??”
I felt a wave of heat rush up my cheeks, and I darted up the stairs.
“Angel? What’s going on?” Xander asked curiously, following behind.
“U-Um, it’s just—my brother who’s supposed to be at boarding school is back here,” My fingers began to fiddle nervously, “and uh, he’s supposed to be sharing a room with m-me—“
“Is that semen I smell oh good Lord what have you been doing while I was gone—“
Hansel yanked open the door to our room, just in time to see Xander and I arrive at the top of the stairs.
He stared.
And stared.
“Wow Chip, not bad. He’s hot.”
