Chapter 32: First Slice

"Welcome home, new couple," Wyatt and Coral greeted us together with matching cheeky grins when Theo and I entered the apartment.

We had gone directly to the graveyard after landing in Anaheim, so we were just getting home now.

"Thank you," I said with an overly sweet smile while Theo went to our respective bedrooms to put our luggage.

When Theo came back, we were all sitting in the living room. "I thought there was supposed to be a party here," he said, seeming disappointed at the undecorated apartment.

Wyatt scoffed and replied, "Who is going to clean up after we have a party here?"

"So no birthday party for me?" Theo frowned.

"Of course, there is. But it's not here, idiot," Wyatt said.

Theo's mouth formed into an 'o' as he said, "Cool." He sat down beside me, and I rested my head on his shoulder, hugging his side since he seemed a little cold ever since giving away his jacket to his dad.

"I can't still believe you guys are finally dating," Coral squealed.
