One Of The Guys
Chapter 20.
“Liam, this is Nate, my friend. Nate, this is Liam, my 8-year-old cousin; he's also my number one favorite person in this whole wide world."
"Hey, there," he said shaking Liam's hand.
"Hi, do you like my cousin or something?"
Oh boy, here we go.
"Very, very much," he whispered just loud enough for me and him to hear.
I felt myself blush so I looked over to the little kids on the swings at the park.
"Hali, can we get frozen yogurt, please?" Liam's big brown eyes stared up at me, waiting for my answer.
"Of course, sweetie. Do you wanna go on the swings first, though?"
"Here, I'll go grab some frozen yogurt, and you two go to the swings, I'll meet you back here in a few, okay?"
"Sure, thanks, Nate," I said smiling.
"Higher!" Liam's voice shouted as I pushed him on the swing.
Once he got high enough, he swung himself.
A red bouncy ball landed just in front of his swing, so I went to pick it up.
I stood up and felt his sneaker come into contact with my face.
I fell backwards onto the wood chips.
I felt a strong grip on my body as my eyes fluttered open.
I saw a gorgeous brunette kneeling over me with sparkling brown eyes.
"Are you okay? Miss?"
"Y-yeah, I'm fine."
He pulled me off of the ground and onto my feet.
"My name is Carter, and yourself?"
"Hali, not Hayley, Hali." We shook hands and had a moment of awkward silence.
Liam jumped off the swing when it slowed down and ran over to me.
"Woah, Hali! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"
"Of course, honey!" I said, picking him up.
He pecked my cheek.
"Liam, this is Carter. Carter, this is my cousin, Liam."
"Hey, who's this Hali?" Nate looked confused as he handed us the cups of yogurt.
"Carter, long story." I said as me and Liam giggled.
"Okay, well, do you wanna go play soccer at my house?"
"Sure! Liam, I think your mommy wants you home anyways, are you okay with that?"
"Will I see you soon?"
"Of course, buddy!"
"Deal," he said kissing my head.
"Carter, nice meeting you, I gotta go," I said.
He took my phone and put his number in it, causing Nate's face to turn bright red with... anger?
He winked as he walked back to who I hoped was his sister, he's really cute.
"Let's go... now." Nate said sternly.
We got in the car and dropped off Liam.
"Hali, we need to talk..."
