Zane and I entered the dining room, holding food, and blushing like mad. We'd taken double the time we'd needed to make this dish. We've been discussing it and thought, hey, let's be an official couple! So now, Zane is my boyfriend! I'm not sure when we'll tell everyone else, but we will. Eventually. One day.
I was rudely shaken from my thoughts when everyone burst out laughing at our aprons. I felt anger bubble up in me and I grabbed a bowl of sauce and slapped it over my twin's head. "Just shut up, Cole!" I stomped off before he could say anything, throwing my neon green apron onto the floor. I went into my room and slammed the door. I kinda have anger issues.
I heard light knocking. "Ava?" When I didn't respond, Zane entered and sat next to me on the bed. I was currently curled in a ball formation, crying softly. Zane rubbed my back and planted a kiss on my head. "It's alright. No one meant to hurt your feelings."
I uncurled myself and rested my head on his shoulder, sniffling. "It seems like they did. Cole knows I have anger issues, yet he laughed at my face anyways!" I looked up at my boyfriend. "You understand, right Zane?" Zane nodded.
We seemed to get the same idea at the same time. Our heads moved together and our lips moved in harmony. The gap was closed between our lips and I felt all that anger wash away.
When we pulled apart to breathe, I looked into Zane's eyes. "Love you, Zane." He smiled and brushed my shaggy bangs from my face. I leaned forward to deliver another kiss, when we heard voices in the hallway. We saw Cole enter the room sheepishly. He didn't seem to notice our lips were inches away from each other. Thank goodness.
"Ava, I'm sorry I laughed at you earlier. I forgot your anger issues," he apologized, sheepishly.
I stood up with clenched fists, but Zane put a hand on my shoulder and I calmed down. I walked up to him and gave him a light punch in the arm, grinning. "Apology accepted, you goof."
Cole smiled. "Well, get some sleep. We start training you tomorrow."
