Chapter 145

”Things have been quiet lately,” Sean mutters as he sits beside Michael and plays their favorite video game . While Michael's face is scrunched up in concentration, Sean has a relaxed look on his face . He's not even trying hard enough .

”You'll never win against him,” I let him know . Sean gives me a smug smirk, while Michael glares at me .

”Don't glare at me,” I tell him in a bland voice . His anger had spurred me on, as always . As did his playful side . . .

”If I lose, it's your fault,” he grumbled as he cursed over some aspect of the game . After a few minutes of silence, the swearing became louder and cra.s.ser . The loud bang against his desk, let me know that he has lost for the third time today . I chuckled under my breath as I tried to concentrate on the book I was trying to read .

”Again?” I heard Sean say in an amused voice .

”Yes,” I heard him hiss .

This went on for another fifteen minutes until he lost for the fourth time and grudgingly admitted defeat . It was a sweet moment .

He plopped down beside me and leaned in to give me a quick peck . A smile spread across my lips, but I ignored him from then on . The book was rather interesting and taking a turn for the better .

”It's a good thing . . . the calm . ”

”It could also be the calm before the storm . ” I cut in . I saw him give me a glance before he turned away .

”It could be, but what is life without a few tornadoes to bring it to the brink of extinction?”

”A happy life?” I replied sarcastically .

”A boring life . ”

”I think I like boring . I don't believe my poor heart can take any more excitement . That old one of yours surely can't . ” I snorted . I put my book down, realizing that I had no clue what I was reading .

”One day . . . you'll get old, too, and then we'll travel to the Himalayas and rid ourselves of our material desires . ”

”Celibacy would not suit you,” I admitted .
