Tease

"Ha!"

She yelled out from underneath the bleachers, pointing at the cyborg who got hit in the face with a dodge ball that was covered in sweat. Blowing her and a older friend of hers' name Darryl, hiding spot as he yelled out her name in shock.

"Louise!"

"What? It was funny."

She whispered at him as she turned to face him, not even minding that the cyborg is walking towards them. Since the cyborg found them, Darryl reach down and grab Louise's hand and pulled her along towards the end of the bleachers.

"We gotta run."

Then they began running, dodging the metals polls from closing in on itself when the cyborg pushed the bleachers into the wall. Panting in panic breaths as it seemed they will not be able to clear it-

"Ok, let's pause it here."

A voice said, pausing the screen in mid shot, just as Louise and Darryl jumped to safety. Their fear can be seen on screen as the paused in mid-air.

"But it was getting to the good part."

A higher pitch voice complained at him, not wanting it to stop. Not even minding that it has been about 2 hours since the began watching [Bob's Burger's] and they were starting to get hungry.

"Don't worry Stacy. We will be back and finish watching it soon. It's just...3 in the afternoon and we have plenty of time to finish it."

Alex gently explain to his cousin, who was doing a pouty expression on his bed, not even being embarrassed as she express herself now. After the first 48 minutes, she was blushing like a storm and was stiff as a board, but once [Bob's Burger's] went on, she acted like her true self.

Surprising him in the process as he didn't know she can get like this. He was also happy to know they share the same taste in TV shows. Apparently, it is her favorite show as she watch every episode, from the beginning to the newly released episodes.

After easing himself up from the bed, Alex thrown the remote down as he went towards the bathroom. Speaking to her in a louder voice as he began washing his hands.

"Besides, we already promise our mother's to wash our hands and go downstairs after the food has cooled down. And I know your hungry. So let's go."

"Fine."

She begrudgingly said as she also got up from his and made her way to his bathroom. Grumbling underneath her breath as she sent glances of longing towards the giant TV before stopping in her tracks at the sight of his bathroom.

Despite being in Alex's room for the past 2 hours, she didn't get to check out the bathroom yet. After stepping inside, she was shock to see it was almost bigger than her own room and he has 2 separate places to bathe in.

A white bathtub that could fit up to 2 or 3 people and across from that is a shower stall that can hold even more people in. It even has a heater installed in the ceiling, which is totally unfair as the bathroom they use don't have one.

And there was even so much space where he can move around and not bump into anything..

Meanwhile, the bathroom her family uses, is at least a quarter to the size to his bathroom and there is hardly any space between each thing. The sink is right next to the toilet, but there was hardly any space in between them.

Turning towards Alex, who was drying his hands, she asked him, still in shock,

"...this is your bathroom?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Because it's way better than the bathroom in the hallway."

She didn't even bother hiding her jealousy in her tone as she began washing her hands. A flicker of confusion crossed his face before it bloomed in understanding. Having just remembered what the bathroom was like in the hallway and totally understand her jealousy now.

"Ah...yeah...It's ok, but my parent's bathroom is much nicer and larger than my own."

"Really? Nicer than this?"

She asked in surprise, not even believing him.

Leaning against the doorway, he begin down playing his bathroom as he explain to her about his parent's bathroom.

"Yeah. It has a wide open space in the middle where the shower stall is in the left hand corner of the room. And right next to it is the tub, which has a window view to the outside, but it doesn't show all of the bathroom like mine does."

At this point he stopped talking and frowned as he look at the window.

"I definitely need to get those windows tinted now that I think about it and anyone can see inside this room if they are positioned at the perfect precision from a certain height."

He muttered to himself, but then continued talking about his parent's bathroom.

"They even have a ceiling fan in there."

"Really? But why?"

She asked him again, having trouble comprehending on why would there be a ceiling fan in the bathroom.

"I don't even know either, it was already there. But enough of that. Let's go down and eat."

"Yeah."

Nodding her head in agreement she followed him out of the room and down the stairs where their family are already sitting. Taking their places, Alex sat down in between Beth and Jena, while Stacy sat next to her little brother, Billy.

"So you finally manage to tear yourselves away from the TV and come down for lunch, eh?"

Jenna said with an amused smile on her face as she question her daughter who was sitting across from her. Then without waiting a response from her daughter, she turned to Alex and asked him,

"So, Alex, did you enjoy having 'fun' with my daughter these past two hours?"

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH"

"MOM!!"

Coughing abruptly from her words, Alex placed down the glass of water from his hand as he pounded his chest to clear his airway. And with the yell of, "MOM" from Stacy, she turned to her daughter with a 'confused' look on her face.

"What?"

Pointing her finger at her mother with a red face, she said,

"W-why did you ask him that?"

With the same look of 'confusion' on her face, she continued speaking.

"What? I was asking him if he enjoyed your company and hoped you guys spend more time together as this is the first time I see you spend time with a boy your age that doesn't involve your brother."

Turning away from her blushing and silent daughter, she turned to her young lover. Speaking to him once more him, she asked him,

"So Alex, was she a good girl or do I need to have a little talk with her?"

*COUGH*

"N-no, she is,*cough*, a wonderful girl and,*cough, cough* we have a great time together. *Cough, cough* We even enjoyed watching the same show. *Cough."

He coughed every few words, making sure he get his point across, while complementing Stacy, which made her feel happy. Smiling shyly at Alex, she then glowered angrily at he mother who just wink at her.

"Ha-hem"

But before any of them could continue talking, Beth interrupted them as she reminded them why they were here in the first place.

"We can talk about this later as we should eat first before the food is all gone."

Shooting her mother one last glare, she gathered up her share of food, which was pizza, before shooting confused looks at her little brother and father. Wondering why they weren't talking before ignoring them.
