We're a good Team.
Liam laid on the bed staring at the ceiling. How could he does not believe in Annie? How had he managed to be manipulated by a stupid girl as Emily? Because despite Emily was trying to look like her cousin, changing her hair, her clothes and her way of doing, the reality was that she would never be like Annie. Liam waited for Emily went to sleep; then taking the phone; he called Annie. She did not answer soon. She was probably still too angry with him to answer, but he wouldn't have surrendered. He will be willing to call her even all night if need be.
"Hello?"
"Annie, it's me." She sighed at hearing Liam's voice beyond the phone.
"What do you want? If you have called me to talk about Emily then..."
"I believe in you, Annie," said Liam, interrupting her.
"I'm sorry, what?" Asked Annie surprise. Had she heard right? Liam believed her!
"You were right about Emily. She isn't what it claims to be."
"And what exactly made you change your mind about her?"
"It's a long story. You just know that, at this moment, she's here, and she tried to seduce me."
"She what?" Annie shouted furiously, and instinctively she pulled a kick to something for the anger. "Damn!" She screamed again.
"What's happening?" Asked Liam worried.
"I've hurt my foot!" Liam on the other end of the phone laughed hard. "It's not funny!"
"I love you, Annie," he said still laughing. She didn't answer. Bad sign. The phone remained in silent for what that to Liam seemed like an eternity. "Obviously, I have rejected her. Because you know that I could never make you such a thing, right?" He added to interrupt that unbearable silence.
"Yes…I know it! I would have to kill Emily today in the canteen, as long as I was still on time."
"Yeah maybe, but I have another plane."
"What plane?" Asked her, suddenly interested.
"Not on the phone, I'll tell you everything tomorrow morning, but to run the plane, I need your help. Are you in?"
"I'm in." This time, she answered immediately.
"Great and Annie…"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry for, not having believed in you. I thought you were exaggerating, but it is clear that it wasn't."
"It's ok. You believe in me now. This is the only thing that matter."
"But we were a Team. A good Team and I would have to listen to you immediately."
"We're still a good Team and we always will be."
"I love you," said Liam again.
"I love you, too," she answered this time. "So, where Emily is sleeping right now?"
"On the sofa, in the next room," he said.
"And don't you fear that she may hear?"
"No, you know a bit of a sleeping pill in the drink does wonder."
"Oh…What a bad guy! You could at least let her sleep on the bed," Annie said sarcastically.
"This bed is just for us."
"So what did you do tonight before you come home and find Emily?"
"I've gone to a local gay along with Teddy, Navid and your brother."
"How was it?" She asked, amused.
"Terrifying, but Navid and Dixon seemed finding themselves really well." The conversation went on for a long time until a tired Annie fell asleep.
