Jay POV
I stared at the blue-eyes.
He stared back.
Smiling.
Way too confidently.
"you are"
I blinked.
"Percy ."
Pause.
"The handsome one."
I stared.
Aries stared.
Grandpa laughed.
Grandma laughed.
Dad looked completely used to this.
Mom sighed.
Apparently nobody was surprised.
"You introduce yourself like that?" I asked.
"When you're this good-looking, yes."
"That's embarrassing."
"For everyone else maybe."
😭
Aries threw a cushion at him.
Percy caught it.
Without even looking.
"Violence. Is never the answer baby Aries."
"I hate you."
"No you don't."
"Yes I do."
😭
Percy immediately sat back down.
Like he owned the house.
Which was annoying.
Because he looked comfortable enough to actually own it.
Dad finally spoke.
"Jay, Percy works with me."
"Poor guy," I said.
Percy gasped.
"I like her already."
"Don't."
"Too late."
😭
A few minutes later everyone moved into the dining room.
Big mistake.
Because Percy talked.
A lot.
Mostly about himself.
"Did I ever tell you about the time I saved a business deal?"
Aries:
"Seventeen times."
"It was impressive all seventeen times."
"Nobody asked."
😭
Grandma was laughing so hard she nearly dropped her tea.
Even Grandpa looked entertained.
Which meant Percy had probably been doing this for years.
Then Percy suddenly looked at me.
"So."
Uh oh.
"Got a boyfriend?"
I nearly choked on my drink.
Aries nearly fell out of his chair laughing.
Mom immediately became interested.
Dad looked horrified.
"Percy."
"What?"
"Stop."
"I'm being friendly."
"You're being annoying."
"That's also true."
😭
Then Percy noticed something.
My expression.
And unfortunately...
he was observant.
Very observant.
A slow grin appeared.
"Interesting."
"No."
"I didn't even say anything."
"I know that look."
"What look?"
"The look that says there's definitely someone."
Aries immediately pointed at me.
"THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING."
"Both of you stop talking."
"Definitely someone," Percy said.
😭
The rest of dinner became a disaster.
Mostly because Percy and Aries spent the entire time arguing.
About everything.
Food.
Movies.
Cars.
Business.
Weather.
The shape of potatoes.
Nobody even knew how they got there.
At one point Grandpa had to tell them to be quiet.
They lasted twenty-three seconds.
Then started again.
By the end of the night I was exhausted.
As I headed upstairs, Percy called out:
"Goodnight, Jay."
"Goodnight."
"Tell your mystery boyfriend I said hi."
I nearly tripped.
Aries started laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.
And Percy looked extremely pleased with himself.
I was already regretting meeting him.
And somehow...
I had a feeling he was going to become everyone's problem.
End of Chapter 121 😂💙🔥
