Author's note: I wanted to apologize for not updating! I've been doing this annoying history crap for like a month and just finished. Thanks for your patience, and I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 46: I don't think you do, I don't think you do
I woke up to a loud bang.
I quickly got out of the bed and got a book to hit someone with, just in case.
"Jerome?" I called. No response. I walked toward the kitchen portion of the apartment. "Jerome?" I yelled louder this time. Still no reply.
I entered the kitchen, and there he was.
"Jerome! You scared me to death!" I criticized.
"Sorry." He kissed me on the cheek. "I was making breakfast and kind of dropped that." He pointed to a pan.
"You couldn't pick it back up?"
"Sorry."
"Stop apologizing!"
"Sorry!"
"Jerome!"
"I would apologize, but you said not to."
I laughed. "So, what did you make?"
"Pancakes."
"When are we going back?" I asked.
"What?" Jerome replied.
"When are we going back? To the house?"
"After lunch."
"Ok."
"What are you so worried about?"
"Well... For one thing... We have to 'find' the hidden passage, and... Don't you think it's a little suspicious that we're 'staying' with your 'parents'?"
"I don't know. Maybe a little."
"Let's just... Talk about some things."
"Yeah. Ok. Like what?"
"Well, when you were dating Annie... Did you really... Love her?"
"Honestly?" He looked at me. I nodded. "No."
"Then why did you date her?"
"That's just what my parents wanted. She's rich, and they don't think I'll be able to get a good career, so they figured that was the only way I would be able to have a good life, so I did what I did so they would accept me."
"Oh. Do you like me as much as you like her?"
"No. I love you so much more I can't even put it into words." I smiled. "My turn. Did you know you're the most beautiful person on the planet?"
"Ok. Now I know you're lying."
"No. It's true."
"If you say so!"
"I know so!"
"Are you scared?"
"About what?"
"Rufus. Coming to get us while we're here. Alone. Without adults."
"No. He won't. I won't let him."
"Of you won't."
Later, we were cleaning the apartment so we could leave.
I put some rubber gloves on and started washing the dishes.
Jerome was packing his things. I was already finished with mine.
"Hey, Jerome!"
"What!?"
"Come here! I think there's something stuck in the drain!"
"Really!?" He walked in.
"Nope!" I took the hose part of the sink and pointed it at his face.
Now he was soaking wet. I laughed so hard I almost fell over. "Very funny..." He said. "But not as funny as this!" He took the bucket I head filled and dumped it over my head.
I was wet from head to toe. "Jerome!" I laughed.
It turned into an all-out water war.
"Ok! Ok! I surrender!" I screamed.
"Victory!" Jerome threw his hands up in the air in triumph.
"We should get changed and leave before the manager comes."
"Good idea."
Does anyone know if there will be a season 4? I heard rumors that was going to be, but idk if they're true. :/
