A/N: sorry for not updating sooner, I've been pretty busy. Anywho, here is chapter 4 : )
Chapter 4:
Adam played with his fingers as the movie played in front of him. Eli was too concentrated to notice that there was in fact something on Adam's mind. Though, when their favorite part came on, and Adam didn't laugh with him, Eli hit pause and turned to him.
"What's up?" Adam's head shot up.
"Huh? Oh, nothing."
"I'm not stupid, what's wrong?" Eli tried again, and Adam huffed. "Girl problems? I hear you…" He just stayed quiet, waiting for Eli to start rambling, but Eli stayed quiet. "So, who is she?"
"No one."
"Adam."
"You wouldn't know her." Which, in fact was the biggest lie. The truth? This girl was in fact upstairs doing her homework with her music blasting so loud Adam himself could sing along. This girl, in fact, was Eli's sister.
"Try me." Eli asked, and Adam huffed.
"She's no one. This is guys night, remember?" Eli nodded, finally giving up and turning the movie back on. Soon after, both boys heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and their heads turned.
"Hey." Liv said with an innocent smile, as though she had no idea it was guys night. Eli growled.
"Go upstairs, Liv."
"I wanted to get something from the kitchen, don't mind me." she grinned wider, hopping off the last step as she hurried into the kitchen. Adam chuckled, focusing his attention back on the screen as Eli did. Once Liv grabbed a soda, she walked back through the living room, sitting down on the couch next to Eli.
"What are you doing?"
"I want to watch."
"Go back upstairs."
"Make me, Elijah." she teased, and winked at Adam as he laughed.
"I will, Olivia."
"She can stay, can't she? Is it really that big of a deal?" Adam spoke, and the two siblings were silent.
"I think Adam is right." Liv nodded once in agreement.
"But, It's guys night-"
"Plus one girl." Liv added, and Eli rolled his eyes, giving up once more. He sat back in the couch, and watched the movie in silence and Adam and Liv laughed at the funny parts. Eli heard his phone ring, and he thanked God, though took it back remembering there was no God, according to him anyway. He rushed over to his jacket and pulled the phone out of his pocket, grinning wide once he saw the caller ID. He looked up at Liv and Adam's waiting faces.
"It's Clare."
"Well, pick it up, dummy!" Liv cried, and he did so.
"Hello." he paused. "Hey, Clare." he paused once more. "Nothing much actually, you?" Liv rolled her eyes at the boring conversation, though perked up once she saw Eli grin again. "Yeah, that sounds great. I'll meet you there. Bye." Eli hung up, and quickly threw his jacket on, unable to keep the smile off his face.
"So? What's going on, lover boy?" Liv asked.
"She wants to meet at The Dot." Eli replied, happiness ringing in his tone. Liv smiled sweetly, as did Adam.
"Good luck, bro." Adam added before Eli rushed out the door. They both turned around, facing front on the couch as the movie continued to play.
"Oh!" Liv cried. "This is a good part." she finished, enthused. Adam chuckled and watched as well, both of them starting to laugh. Adam couldn't help but smile as the movie continued, quickly sneaking glances at Liv, though turning away quickly before she could notice. Hell, she was beautiful, he could never get over that. He laugh was contagious, as was her smile. And those eyes, he swore he could stare at them all day.
"-You want anything?" Liv had already stood up, and just finished her sentence when Adam noticed she was talking.
"What?"
"I'm going to the kitchen, you want anything?"
"Yeah, just a water." Liv nodded and walked off, Adam standing up to follow. Once Liv got the water, and another soda for herself, she shut the fridge and turned around quickly, running into Adam.
"Oh, Adam I'm so…" she trailed off, realizing how close they were and swallowed, scolding herself as she felt her face turn a shade of pink. Adam's face flushed pink as well, and he looked into her eyes. Yes, he could stare at those piercing green eyes all day. After a moment, they both subconsciously leaned in, their lips touching softly for a while, pulling away quickly as they realized what they had just done.
"I'm so-"
"I can't believe I just-"
"Sorry I never meant to-"
"Did that I mean-" they both rambled over each other, their words getting mixed up. They just stayed quite for a minute, looking at one another, trying to figure out what had just happened. Suddenly, the door busted open and Eli rushed in. Liv and Adam jumped, taking a somewhat normal position of Liv sitting on the counter, and Adam just standing. Eli rushed into the kitchen, grinning from ear to ear.
"Hey, how did it-" Liv started.
"It was great! We talked and laughed, it felt like old times!" Eli cut her off, suddenly feeling the awkwardness in the room. "Is everything Alright?"
"Everything's fine."
"Everything's good." both Adam and Liv replied at once, exchanging awkward glances at each other, and then to Eli.
"Whatever." Eli shrugged it off. "Adam, I'll take you home." Adam nodded walking back into the living room to grab his jacket, Liv hopping off the counter and rushing upstairs before another word could be said.
"You sure everything is alright?" Eli asked.
"Yeah, everything's fine."
