42 ~ Sour as Greek Yoghurt-2

I raised my eyebrows, always interested in whatever insults Virginia had to give to me. "What is it that she told you to tell me, Lottie? Tell me, I want to know." She covered her bright red face with her hands, and that made me start laughing. "I can't!" she wailed. "No way, you gotta do say it now!" I said, poking her sides. She giggled, and I started full-on tickling her. "What did she say, Lottie? What did she say? Come on, come on, tell me!" "Oh my God, no, no, stop!" She laughed so hard tears came out of her eyes, and she clutched onto me like a monkey so that she wouldn't fall down on the freezing cold floor. "Beeeeen!" "Beautiful little princess, please tell me what that leviathan friend of yours said about me so that I can return the favour when she comes to get us." Lottie buried her cold face into my neck. "Ginny's not a leviathan," she scolded me. "You guys should be nicer to each other." "Don't change the subject, what did she say?" "Fine!" She was quiet for a moment, and then she looked at me. Her face started turning red again as soon as she met my eyes. "Oh my god, I can't even looking at you. She said, youbettermakemefeelgoodandnotjustfinishyourselfoff." I furrowed my eyebrows. "What? I didn't quite catch that." "Argh," she groaned. "Ginny said, you better make me feel good and not just finish yourself off, oh my God, I have to go take a shower now, I can't believe that just came out of my mouth." While she sat scolding herself, I, meanwhile, was laughing my ass off. "Ginny doesn't have to worry about that one bit," I told Lottie, even though she was hiding her face from me and covering her eyes. I bent over and put my mouth right next to her right ear. "I will take very good care of you." "Ben!" she complained. "What?" I said innocently, even as I myself had to fight down the blood rushing to my face at the thought of having sex with Lottie. If it would ever happen and I didn't screw things up, of course, as I was liable to do. "Did I say something wrong?" She wouldn't respond to me, and lucky for her, she didn't have to, because just then, the freezer door slammed open. We sprang to our feet. "Ginny!" Lottie exclaimed happily, her face still red from embarrassment. "You got in!" "Yeah, you're lucky the back door was open otherwise you would've been stuck here until our demon boss got back from Hell, or wherever she is, I don't know." I didn't know whether to be grateful or annoyed at Lottie's crazy-eyed friend for interrupting us, but she did open the door when poor Lottie was probably freezing to death. Lottie ran and gave Ginny a big hug, who returned it while glaring at me. I glared right back at her. What the fuck was her problem this time? "I'm sorry you had to miss out on your date!" "It's whatever, Charlie. He's out front waiting for me, and we'll probably going to do it later." I gagged, and unfortunately she noticed and shot daggers at me. "Speaking of doing it, did you tell that human garbage bag what I told you to tell him?" I grinned to myself despite her calling me a garbage bag as Lottie said, "Yes," with a meek expression on her face. She definitely did tell me. "So, are you okay to lock up, or are you going to do something stupid again?" "I won't do anything stupid," Lottie promised. "I'll see you when you get back from your date?" Ginny smiled at her, which took me aback for a second because I forgot the she-devil knew how to smile, or even doing anything remotely human other than bark at me. "Yeah, actually, do you wanna meet him? He's a writer, too. But don't get attached, I don't wanna feel guilty for dumping him later." Lottie laughed and agreed, and then looked at me. "Come on, Ben!" "No way!" Ginny shrieked, shoving me back into the freezer and slamming the door shut. "What the fuck!" I yelled angrily. "What the hell is wrong with you, you fucking frizzy-haired behemoth? Lottie, get me out of here!" "Ginny, come on," I heard Lottie say. "Be nice to Ben! I love him, and I love you, and I want you guys to get along." "Don't make me get along with that freak of nature," she muttered. "How could you fall in love with someone who looks like Grendel and his mother?" "Virginia." "Oh, for Chrissakes, stop scolding me, Dad, I'll open the damn door." The door opened, revealing Ginny pouting and Lottie with her arms crossed. I closed and locked the damn thing behind me, vowing to never set foot in there ever again. I smirked at Ginny, throwing my arm around Lottie's shoulders. "She loves me more," I taunted her, sticking out my tongue. "Charlie! Are you even hearing him?" My smirk widened and I raised my eyebrows. Lottie shoved me playfully. "Come on, let's just go meet Ginny's date, okay, Ben?" "Okay," I agreed, pulling her back to my side. Ginny shot me one last deathly glare before leading us to the front of the bakery. "There he is, I just met him like last night or something. Rick, Rick, come over here! Come meet Charlie and her stupid boyfriend Ben!" I had no time to revel over the fact that even Ginny called me Lottie's boyfriend before the man even turned around, I knew who it was by the way Lottie tensed up and let out a breath beside me. Her hand tightened on my arm. I felt anger bubbling in my chest and red began to enter my vision. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Rick smirked. "Hello Charlie. Hello Ben. Nice to see you two again."
