467 Girls Date (2/2)

Cali choked on her juice while Xiu was left gaping at him in disbelief. With a round of applaud, she said, ”Bro, I finally know why you're Regan's best friend.”

Dylan gave her a toothy grin before turning back to his phone, ”Cali? You there? Why aren't you saying anything?”

”I'm here,” replied Cali after taking a moment to calm down. That attack of his words was way too sudden.

”Great! Then say something, I'd like to hear your voice now.” He walked to a corner and lowered his voice to a whisper as he went on, ”Hearing the fierce voice of my sister-in-law is giving me a headache!”

Cali chuckled while Xiu's voice came, ”I heard that Mr. Tattletale!” Dylan stuck his tongue out at her. He really couldn't tell how her ears were so sensitive? How did she hear him? In all honesty, Xiu heard nothing. She just knew Dylan way to well so she knew he must have said something about her. ”If you're this ungrateful, I'm not helping anymore.”

”Oh, wait! Don't go!” Dylan stopped her instantly. ”I was kidding. I promise I won't do it again.”

”What are you both up to exactly?” asked Cali curiously and Dylan looked at the phone which somehow turned to speakerphone. It must have happened when he rushed over to stop Xiu.

”Should I tell her?” asked Xiu while wiggling her brows at Dylan who shook his head. Xiu shook her head at his reaction as she replied, ”Nothing special. He needed help with some stuff so I came over for that.”

”Oh... So, you're both busy?”

”Why? What's up?” questioned Xiu.

”Actually, I was thinking we can go out to play. I have never been to those arcades. So, I really wanted to go there.”

”I'll take you. I'll be right there,” said Dylan without even thinking.

”Xiu, would you like to join?”

Dylan looked at Xiu and shook his head. ”Why does she have to join us?”

Xiu patted his cheek as she said, ”I wasn't gonna be the big bad bulb between you two but you just said the wrong words. Now, I'm definitely going!”

Dylan's shoulders slumped down. ”Sister-in-law, can't you see your brother-in-law happy for once?”

”I want you to be very happy, Dylan but I also want you to know how it feels to have a third wheel between you and your loved one.”

Dylan knew she was doing it for revenge now. If at first, it was because of his words, now it was revenge!

”I'm not taking you with me,” he said firmly.

Xiu shrugged her shoulders, ”Suit yourself. Cali, I'll pick you up in a while. You definitely would enjoy the girls' date more.”

”Okay!” Cali also agreed without hesitation because she also just needed a reason to get close to Xiu. Meanwhile, Dylan was feeling like he was being left out.

He had to stomp on his own pride as he said, ”Wait for me. I'm gonna change clothes.” Saying that he passed the phone to Xiu and went upstairs.
