27 | Betting On Me

"I hope you guys enjoyed the experience and are happy with the treasure." The lady hosting the hunt tells us while the man just smiles at me.

"Yea... I like it." I lift my hand up showing the silver charm bracelet that has three charms - a macaroon, a teddy and a book charm. It's pretty cute.

A girlish scream erupts from the house and the man sighs before disappearing into the house.

"By 'treasure' I meant that." The lady points at the cover I am holding - Ferrero Rochers and Oreos.

"Oh." It takes a moment for the penny to drop and I turn to stare at Felix who was standing a few feet away speaking in hushed whispers on the phone.

So, Felix got me the bracelet.

I touch the book charm lightly and then I understand the meaning of the charms. The book is for the way we met - we met because I didn't bring my book. The bear is probably for the make a bear workshop we went to with Keagon and others.

But... What about the macaroons?

As if on cue Felix walks back, pocketing his phone.

"Sorry, it was my lil bro." Felix smiles and I hold up the bracelet.

"I get the bear and book but what about the macaroon?"

"A certain birdie told me that you liked macaroons so I thought why not." He shrugs and we start walking through the woods again and I sneak a look and wave at the host and she smiles and waves back.

I am guessing the certain birdie is named Keagon. The naughty little minx.

——

A girlish scream erupts from behind me and I squeal as I speed up even more. After pulling up in front of the house, I take off the helmet and run a hand through my hair.

"You can let go, you know." I mumble and Felix swears before letting go and jumping off the bike.

"Where the hell did you learn to drive like that?" He asks me with a bit of admiration in his eyes.

"My brother taught me," I shrug. "Still think all girls don't like motorbikes, huh sexist bastard?" I wiggle my eyebrows.

Three.

Two.

On—

"Fine." He sighs. "I was wrong." He grumbles under his breath. "And I am sorry."

I laugh as I pat his head. "You're forgiven, baby."

Silence.

Deadly silence.

Did I just freaking call him 'baby'

"Baby huh?" It's his turn to wiggle his eyebrows at me and I roll my eyes willing myself not to blush.

After we had left the The Treasure Island, we had gone to a diner for a dinner of pizza and burgers and Felix had reluctantly let me drive back making me promise that his bike would be okay.

Felix helps me gets off the bike and walks me to the front door.

Once we are at the door, my hand hovers over the knob. I turn back to face.

"I had fun." I tell him and he smiles at me.

It's silent again for a three seconds, and what's surprising is that it's not the awkward kind. He takes a step towards me, placing his hands on either side of me.

"So do I get a second kiss?"

I stand up on my tippy toes and press my lips against his cheek.

"Bye and good night." I smile at him again.

"Yea, Good N— " I yelp as the door opens and I start falling. And yea, yoh guessed it. Cliche enough Felix wraps his hands around me preventing my fall.

"So how was your date?"

Getting away from Felix, I flash a smile at Wyatt behind me.

"Yea, it went pretty good." I say and Wyatt turns to stare at Felix next who flashes him a smile.

"I gotta go. I'll text you once I reach home, okay?" Felix tells me and with another last smile at the both of us he walks away.

"Why are you home so late?" Wyatt's annoying voice follows me.

"Late? It's only 10 pm, Wyatt. Chill," I deadpan. "Besides Carol gave me a curfew of 12 am."

As I enter into the living room my eyes fall on the ball of blankets sitting on the couch with a bowl full of popcorn.

"Aria!" The voice yells and throws itself at me.

"Hey, Keegs." I grin and hug her.

"What're you guys doing?" I ask her as she leads me to the couch.

"I wanted to watch Frozen but Wyatt wanted Harry Potter. And being the nice person that I am, I gave in." Keagon says proudly and I grin with a mischievous smile as I turn to look at Wyatt who had settled on the other end of the couch.

"I thought you said you didn't like Harry Potter."

"I don't." He grumbles and I decide to let it go for now.

"I'll just go change into some pajamas."

After a while, clothed in soft black pants and a red shirt with Mickey Mouses prancing around I settle back down on the couch.

"Aria?"

"Yea, Keegs?"

"How was your date?"

"Good."

"Did he treat you well?"

"Yes."

"Did you guys kiss?"

Wyatt makes a sound at the back of his throat that sounds suspiciously like a growl and I choke on my popcorn. Managing to swallow the pop corn I turn to stare at her to see if she's joking.

She's not.

"Tell me!"

"You are five." I try to admonish her.

"So?" She challenges me and holds my glare.

"Yea," I murmur when she doesn't stop glaring after a whole minute. "We kissed."

"I told you, didn't I? Now pay up the thirty dollars." Keagon thrusts her hand out to Wyatt making him swear under his breath.

"You bet on me?" I ask glaring at the two people who stare back at me without an inch of guilt.

Wyatt grudgingly hands Keagon her money which she promptly pockets.

"I am going to go sleep." Keagon tells me wrapping her tiny arms around me and kissing my cheek. She's almost gone but then she turns back and waves at Wyatt once.

"So... You kissed?" Wyatt's voice is surprisingly soft yet raw, no hint of a joke or his usual annoying but of course I don't notice since I am too busy touching the book charm on my bracelet.

"Yea." I murmur.

"And he gave you the bracelet?" He asks me and I nod.

"Isn't it cute?" I ask thrusting my hand towards him. His eyes leave mine and glance at the bracelet for a second before it's back on me.

"Yea. I am going to go sleep, gotta wake up early." He murmurs to me and disappears before I can reply. With a shrug, I pull out my phone.
