Did you miss me ?
—————————————-
Malia's POV:

"Wait, are you telling me that you both have been in a relationship for three weeks and you didn't tell me?" Jaimee asks bewildered in front of my bedroom door with her hands flying in the air.

"Surprise?" I said nervously laughing. She just stared at us as if we had our heads-sliced in front of her presence. I scoot get farther from him.

"The can't believe this." She mutters. She walks in the hallway back and forth deep in thought. " I should have noticed the signs. The way you both look at each other during breakfast and dinner, the way you laugh at each other jokes, how you've insulted each other much less before, and the..the compliments you give each other."

Asshole and I exchange curious looks at each other then we look back at his mother.

"Even Tony told me how you guys seem to be getting along. I was going to wake both of you up to eat my breakfast. Then I see you guys laying in the same bed? That just makes me so-"

"Shocked?" I ask.

"Disappointed?"

She starts dancing with herself in the room.  "Yes! Yes! Yes!" She jumps up and down with a grin on her face. Asshole and I give each other a concerned look. She's out here dancing like a little child and chanting yes as if she's on drugs. She jumps to Liam and grab his arms which made him stand up.

"Mom, are you okay?"

She giggles. "Oh honey, I'm more than fine. I feel amazed, glad, proud and, as if I accomplished something big. Guess what? Thanks to your relationship the Potters' family are going to take a nice trip to Hawaii."

She bursts out laughing and continues to swing his arms back and forth. She spins him around with a broad smile in her face. "Isn't this great news."

"Mom are you okay, do I need to call the doctor, come on I'm sure Dr. Stevens works on Saturdays."he holds Jaimee's hands and attempted to lead her to the stairs but, she yanks his arms away from her.

"I'm fine Liam. I'm not on drugs if that's what you're wondering." She says giving him a half smile and she says while standing in an akimbo position.

"Then what do you mean that you're going to Hawaii?" I ask curious while laying in the bed.

She sits in the corner of the bed and starts fanning he face with her hands. "..When your mother and I were younger, we made a Mary believed that both of our kids wouldn't be together but, I disagreed so we decided who ever wins the bet gets to go to Hawaii. The loser has to pay and we're not to interfere at all. Guess it looks your mother lost."

"When was this?" Liam asks her.

"College." She says.

"That was a long time ago." I tell her. I'm surprised that she's participating in a bet that my my mother and her have formed when they were younger. My mother may have forgotten about the bet especially by the things she said when she visited me.

"And I still won." She says still fanning her ace.

"Cool." Asshole said beaming. "When are we going?"

She taps her chin with her pointer finger for a while. "Hmm.. I'm not sure yet but, I'm sure we'll figure out."

"Wait..you said that none of you could interfere with us dating right?" I inquire. She nods her head and the beam in her face never left. "I just now remember that you practically force us to hang out in the park so, that we could get to know each other..that smirk too. Whenever you would drink your tea or coffee you would say something but, then smirk as if you had a secret plan both of us didn't know about."

She laughs nervously. "Uh, what are you talkin-, you got this.. I just wanted you c-children to tolerate with each other's p...I just though-"

"Oh so, that's what the smirk was all about." Asshole said now realizing. He sits on the bed next to Jaimee and laughs. "You just got busted mom." He pats her in the back. "Maybe next time mom."

"I was not cheating. I just wanted you guys to tolerate with each other. Did you see the way you guys behaved around each other? I just thought that if you go to the park.. you'll become closer. Besides, when you came back you were both drenched in water but, you were smiling."

"The smirk?" I asked with my eyebrows raised.

She snaps her tongue and she shakes her head no. "Honey, I was smiling."

Sure.

"Do I get to get to go then?" I ask her.

She turns her head around smiling. "No."

I have surprised by her comment. "What? Why?"

"Malia Malia Malia. Your mother and I agreed that the winning person gets to take their family to the trip. Not once did we say that we could take the losing team's child to the trip. I know it's a lot to take in..but, one day you'll be able to go but, not now."

"I'll tell mom that you made us go to the park together and that you smirked which proved that I'm right."

She scoffs. "I was not smirking. I was simply smiling."

"When I tell mom that it wouldn't seem like it. I'm pretty sure she won't give you the money to Hawaii. You'll have to waste the money from your own bank knowing that you had the opportunity to take me but, decided not to." I was now emitting a snicker as she gasp.

"You wouldn't." She says agitated by my blackmail.

"Oh, I am."

She looks at the ceiling and taps her feet on the wooden floor debating whether she should give up or stay a strong woman. She steadily lower head and emanate her breath. "Ugh, fine."

"That means I get to go?" I inquire with hope. I fold my hands silently praying that her answer would be what I wish to be.

She gets up. "Yes."

I was going to get up from my bed and start jumping but, unfortunately to the injury from a few weeks ago, I couldn't. I start clapping my hands in anticipation.

"Man, you're just like your mother."

"Thank you."

She playfully roll her eyes and leaves the door open. "Just because, I'm happy that we're going to the trip doesn't mean I want you to be kissing like that. I don't want you to act the way I did when I was yo.." she pauses and sees the interest both and I had. "What I'm trying to say is, I don't want you to have sex in my house." She sprints out the room and closes the door.

Asshole and I glance at each other and chuckle.
