KIRK GETS A GIRLFRRIEND

CHAPTER SIXTY THREE

After our encounter, Kat seems to have heeded my advice and stayed away from me. I didn’t want to get too comfortable though as she could turn around and do something crazy if I let my guard down. She was one cunning bitch after all. She’s probably planning her next evil scheme for all I know. The last thing I was going to do is underestimate how far she’s willing and would go to bring me down.

The bell rings signaling the end of our day. It was finally time to leave thus suffocating walls. School used to be my Castle and I reigned as queen but now every corner I turned, there was threats to my position. It was kind of Ironic that the new place I found peace was at the Castles’ mansion with my little brother, Kirk and Kieran. I say it’s its ironic because Kieran was the first to wage war against me and my crown but now he was my solitude.

I get into my pink Audi. Yes Kieran had returned my car keys too. I turn on my favorite R&B playlist and the weekend voice fills the car.

“Hmmm … mmm hhmm hmm mmm” I hum the lyrics as I key in the Ignition and drive out. Katie Jer was not going to dull my mood. I get ice cream before arriving at Kirk’s school to pick him up. Kieran usually picks him up but he asked me to do that today because he had basketball practice after school. He says their Coach has been giving him a hard time for skipping practice. Since he was now captain he had to be in charge during rehearsals. He had been missing too many.

Of course he blamed me for his basketball captain problems, saying he had to go for the positon since I wanted to play perfect match and date the captain. He said he didn’t have a choice but to get the title so I can want him too.

I don’t tell him I want him no matter what position he holds I’d still crazy about him. Kieran had grown on me as I believe I’ve grown on him too. He was here to stay whether we both liked it or not.

Kirk pouts as he sees me, disappointment in his eyes as he sees no one behind me. But he comes to hug me either way.

“Where is Kiki?” He asks and I try not to get jealous at his nickname for Kieran. I had one of the doted Kirk loves to give out to his favorite people but I wanted that circle to be so little so bad.

“He has practice so he asks me to pick you up instead. I got you ice cream. It’s chocolate. Your favorite flavor.” His eyes widens at the mention of chocolate ice cream and he runs past me into the car.

“Where is it?” I laugh at how simple my brother was. Well, he could be difficult at certain times too but right now he was simple and easily pleased. Something must have put him in a good mood earlier.

I help him into his seat, fixing his seatbelt before walking and climbing over to the over side, and getting into the driver’s sit.

“Here you go, you little cuddly bear.” I hand him the ice cream, ruffling his hair.

“Lily….” He pouts and I apologize taking off my hands.

“So..did anything good happened at school?” I ask as I drive, heading back to the Castles’ mansion.

“Well, Nora agreed to be my girlfriend.” He says with a grin.

“Omg that’s good news. You asked her out today? What of josh ?” I smile, happy that his little love life was going better than mine at least.

“Well, I didn’t exactly ask her.” He says lowly as he fills his mouth with Ice cream.

“What do you mean by that Kirky?” I ask as I suspect some kind of foul play involved. Kieran was becoming more and more mischievous because of Kieran’s influence.

“I might have just told everyone she’s my girlfriend and forced her to break up with Josh.”

“Kirk Waters.”

“Or maybe I didn’t?” He quickly backtracks.

“Don’t even lie to me. That’s so wrong, Kirk.”

“Kiki said it was okay though.” He pouts. Of course Kieran is involved in this behavior.

“Kirk you should have tried to win her over some other way instead of forcing her to be with you.”

“But I’ve been doing that this whole time. I was listening to your advice but nothing worked and Kiki’s worked in a day.” He says

Well, fair enough.

“What exactly did he ask you or tell you to do?” I ask kirk

“He said I should take whoever and call dibs, and just deal with the consequences later. There might not be any.” He shrugs as he takes another spoonful.

Trust Kieran to give morally gray and unacceptable advice to kids.

I sigh.

We arrive back safely and I park the car, walking in and changing into shorts and one of Kieran’s shirt. I make dinner and began eating with Kirk when cars arrive and male voices sound in the room. A few seconds later, the kitchen door opens and Tyler, Ryan and Kieran bursts in. They are chatting and laughing about something.

All three of them are in their basketball jerseys. White and red Jerseys with the school crest and Laurent fashion’s Logo. The jerseys have been sponsored by Chloe’s parents.

“Titi, Riri. Kiki!” Kirk says and runs over to them, hugging their legs. Great, more nicknames.

“Kirk, finish your food first.” I call but he ignores me.

“How’s the little urchin?” Ryan says as he ruffles his hair and Kieran picks him up. He fist bumps Tyler and they do some sort of friendship handshake.

Since when has he been so close to this guys?

“Nora is my girlfriend now.” Kirk announces excitedly and the guys congratulate him and pat him from the back.

I stay silent. Kieran seems and sense it and looks at me.

“Yeah we need to talk about that.” I say to him.

“Damn Kirk, did you tell her? It was our little secret, naughty.” He says.
