Chapter twenty three: Scotland

"So you were both.. set up and this is all because of me kissing Rebecca?" Henry said for clarification which made us nod.

"Fuck.. that's heavy" Henry admitted with a sour expression "Katie is truthfully a spawn of satan"

Chuckling I nodded "she sure is.. but do you know what this means?"

Henry shook his head and turned his attention to Evan. "I'm coming to Scotland with you both!!"

Henry smiled wide and grabbed Evan and pulled him in for a hug "fuck yes man, this is going to be insane"

"It sure is. Think about all the perfectly legal drinking we can do" he winked tediously which made me laugh.

"So we have approximately four hours until the flight so we should get our arses moving" Henry breathed "we might even be late because of you Peters"

Evan jokingly put a hand on his chest "oh my bad- least you have me now though. You know it would be utter shit without me. Come on"

Snapping him a joking glare I lightly shoved him "shut up or we might change our minds. You're the one invading our holiday"

"Fine fine, I'll be on my best behaviour" Evan said matter o factly "luckily I had the money put away because I knew you couldn't leave without me"

Rolling my eyes we all got into the car with our suitcases stacked up to high heavens, who knew we would bring so much for a two week stay.

"Off to Scotland!" I exclaimed with happy eyes which made the boys pump a fist in the air like children.

"You may unbuckle your belts as we have landed" the captain said through the speakers which made me wake from my sleeping state.

Looking around I saw that I was resting my head on Evan's chest whilst Henry's hand was on my leg. Blushing profusely I jumped up which woke them both up in a startle. "What, what is going on?!" Henry exclaimed breathlessly.

I pointed to my leg with my eyes which made him quickly remove it with a blush. Evan on the other hand did not look pleased at all.

Once we grabbed our hand luggage we exited the plane where the instant coldness from the new country caused me to catch my breath. "I knew it would be cold but fuck" I exclaimed with a chill running up my spine.

Henry scoffed "it's not even that bad. Loosen up"

Evan pulled his jacket on and held it close to his body and I did the same; whereas Henry was being all cocky and wore just his t shirt as if he was that accustomed to this bitter weather.

"You British people and your egos" I whispered under my breath which made Henry stare at me in amusement.

"Jealous are we?"

Rolling my eyes we grabbed a cab or should I say taxi and made our way to our home for the next two weeks. We had booked our own cottage in Inverness that was right next to the Loch Ness. The scenery was absolutely beautiful with big mountains standing tall and a vast amount of countryside which would delight anyone's eyes.

"Okay.. this is stunning" I breathed in amazement as I took in every inch of scenery "you were right Henry"

Evan nodded in agreement "this really is amazing. I cannot wait to see Nessie"

Growling under my breath I scolded him for his stupidity "you do realise that's a legend ?"

"I do know that, don't get your panties in a twist" Evan joked which made me blush. I was still getting used to talking with Evan again and his sarcastic, jokey comments.

"I just realised..." Henry trailed off with distaste "I'm going to be such a third wheeler it's gross"

My cheeks began to burn more. "Henry don't you worry. Me and Evan are friends"

Henry raised his eyebrows up "I wonder for how long. You two love birds-

Evan snapped him a glare "just because you wish it was you"

Henry choked on his saliva "no, I'm past my crush thank you very much. You're free to do what you like"

"Not that we asked for your permission" I teased with a wink which made Henry roll his blue orbs.

"Bit more of a crush. She is your ex" Evan stated "if anything the weirder situation is having a holiday with your ex girlfriend and her ex boyfriend"

Coughing dryly I pursed my lips together "yeah... about that"

"Me and Henry kinda never dated ? It was all fake" I blurted out nervously which made Evan pique interest by the perplexed look on his face.

"What do you mean fake" Evan retorted with a thick layer of amusement "you don't have to lie"

"She isn't lying" Henry said with a cringed look "she had feelings for you for awhile and well she got jealous when you dated Aubrey"

Fuck, that makes me seem totally crazy. Lowering in my seat I covered my face with my hands to save myself from the embarrassment.

"God Maeve you do make me question everything" Evan said with a sigh "you never had to do that. You're such an idiot"

Gulping I peeked in between my hands "like I said before; I have always liked you too. You never had to fake date anyone"

"Anyway enough of this shit subject let's think about all the fun we are going to have" Henry cut in with a grin "they do whisky tasting ?"

"That's right up my alley!" Evan admitted with bright eyes "whisky is my all time favourite and now I can just stroll over and get alcohol without a fake ID? I'm totally in"

Happy that the conversation changed I stared bleakly out the window; the surroundings whizzing past us. I was nervous about this trip; hanging out with my ex boyfriend and a boy who I was starting to gain feelings for. Though I never admitted it and he would never know.

Here goes nothing.
