Chapter 24 : Don't want to think about it.

Iris had no idea what that meant but turned the other way mumbling to herself, " I'll let it go this once " and walked out of the room. Justice smiled and stretched as he got up, " I haven't slept that well in ages ".

Jeremy stood on the sofa, looking up at Justice expectantly " We've got lots of comfortable beds at my place. Will you really come "? Justice laughed as he carried Jeremy, " Absolutely ".

Felicity and Lior weren't taking the news too well. Lior was beginning to regret his decision of letting Justice be the male lead of his movie [ She knows everyone. Is there anyone she doesn't know? ]

Felicity on the other hand was jealous because she couldn't have her idol live in their house too. [ How can I get Dallas to come to my place? ] Felicity looked so serious as she plotted and something came to mind [ I'll need Connor and Aurora's help to make it happen ]

Iris sighed as she opened the fridge, " I need a drink, no I need many drinks ". Gina who had come back home earlier laughed, " Did my duhling have a hard time "? Iris nodded as she took out a lemon, " It was a lot harder than I wanted. I should have stayed in bed ".

Gina laughed as she pointed at Justice who was being shown around by Felicity and Jeremy, " And you even brought home another one ". Iris rested her head on the counter, " I'm so amazing, it's turned into a curse Gigi ".

Gina laughed as she messed with her hair, " It's a burden you must carry and besides, you're curse has such a cute after effect ". Iris laughed as she glanced at Jeremy and Felicity, " As long as they're happy, I'd get an entire harem full of beautiful men if they wanted ".

Gigi laughed, glancing at Lior " You have to share a few with your best friends though ". Iris laughed, " You can pick whichever you want after Jeremy and Felicity ". Gina laughed as she poked her cheeks, " What about you, aren't you gonna pick ".

Iris looked up slightly and shook her head, " Never again, love brought me nothing but trouble ". Then she rubbed her chin, " Or maybe not, I dunno. But I'm not interested ".

Gina shrugged lightly, " That's what you always say. I wish you'd tell me about your first love ". Iris froze slightly as she squeezed the lemon in her hand, " I don't want to talk about it, don't want to think about it ".

Gina pursed her lips and nodded, " Yes mam, I'm sorry ". Iris laughed as she ran her hand through her hair, " I didn't mean to scare you. No need to apologize ". Gina felt otherwise as she pointed at the squeezed lemon dripping juice on the floor.

" I beg to differ ", Iris looked at the lemon in her hand and laughed nervously and thew it away " I need to lie down, get some sleep ". Gina didn't even bother to try and stop her as she watched Iris trudge up the back stairs.

Iris took a long shower as she tried to forget her day and the " first love " Gina mentioned. [ He made me ruin myself and walks away ] Turning off the shower, she dried her hair hoping her mind would go numb.

" He better not cross paths with me ", She picked a large black T shirt and wrapped the towel around her hair and went back downstairs. Jeremy and Felicity had barbecue sauce smeared on their face.

" This is delicious. Mommy come have some ", Jeremy held out some ribs. " Uncle Justice is amazing ", as Felicity munched on hers and Iris sighed as she jumped down [ I'll worry about that another time ] from the stairs and on to the couch behind Jeremy and Felicity, " I want some too ".

I just want to say how honoured I am we got bronze and just for that, I'll be working on a ten chapter upspree! Doesn't that sound fun?♡´・ᴗ・`♡
