Chapter twenty five: Pancake expert

"My head hurts" I groaned as I rubbed my head and sat up, around me was sprawled out covers and a mountain of clothes from my haste attempt at undressing myself whilst drunk.

Looking across to the bedside table I found a note that read

Thought you might need this,

Love E x

Smiling inwardly I grabbed the pill and glass of water, swigging back the painkiller as quickly as I could to try dampen the atrocious migraine pounding in my head.

Realising I was stark naked I quickly grabbed an oversized t shirt and panties; my fingers running across the dresser to find some shorts.

"Morning sunshine" Evan chirped with a bounce in his step which made me groan.

"How are you functioning? We had so much alcohol" I hissed with my fingers going back to my temples and rubbing them.

Evan hugged me from behind and peppered kisses up my neck "because I don't get hungover. Are you jealous ?"

I shuddered by the feeling of his lips and turned myself around so I was now backed into the dresser. "Of course I'm not jealous. You're just weird" I scoffed dryly as I nibbled down on my lower lip.

Evan's hand cupped my cheek and he smiled adoringly at me "you're so beautiful, even when you need to shower"

Swatting his hand away and flushing red I replied "well, I wanted to eat first. Though I need some shorts-

"Hey Evan! I'm not wearing any shorts" I whined in realisation as I pushed him off me and swallowed thickly. "You perv"

Evan put his hands up in the air "I totally didn't come in on purpose, don't mind me. I like the colour though. Red suits you"

In an absolute embarrassing wreck I froze up and waited impatiently for Evan to leave my room which he did rather quickly after seeing my complexion pale.

"Asshole" I muttered under my breath as I finally found some shorts and pulled them up hastily.

I walked into the kitchen area where Henry was cooking up a storm; the smell of fresh pancakes, bacon and eggs was absolute heaven to my nostrils.

"Morning, you slept in late" Henry chuckled as he popped a spoon in my mouth

Frowning I took out the silverware and licked my lips. "Uh... Nutella. Sweet" I said in confusion as I stared at Henry with curious eyes. "Why are you cooking us breakfast ?"

"Because I'm Henry the amazing friend Henry and you two look like rats arses"

Raising my eyebrows I ran a hand through my matted locks and understood why he got that impression. "Just because you can take fifty drinks and still not be falling on your face.." I grumbled

Henry smirked "no- I can just handle my alcohol. It was rather gross seeing you both loved up and kissing. You didn't consider my eyes at all"

Cupping my cheeks with my hands I stared at Evan who smiled nervously "do you not remember ?"

I shook my head "n-no I don't remember kissing you"

Evan shrugged and whispered in my ear "looks like I'll have to jog your memory"

Pursing my lips together I lowered my gaze; Evan knew exactly how to make me feel nervous and embarrassed. I hated it but loved it too.

Henry winced and scrunched up his face "come on, this is a holiday for three not two"

I placed my hand reassuringly on Henry's arm "don't worry about that- me and Evan aren't dating so we won't drive you insane"

"Ahh thank fuck" Henry smirked "I would of been batting your arses"

Evan pouted lightly "Henry you're no fun. How about I kiss you then huh?"

Henry pulled a disgusted expression and placed the spatula down "I think I would rather kiss my left testicle"

Astonished by his comment I clasped my hand over my mouth in a fit of giggles.

"Well, that was rude" Evan said as he rolled his brown eyes. "I was only joking anyway. I would rather kiss my right testicle"

Shaking my head at the childishness between them I plopped myself down on one of the kitchen stools, digging into some of the pancakes.

"Ain't too bad" I complimented as I took a bite "pancakes may be your specialty"

Henry placed a hand on his chest "I've always wanted to be a pancake expert, thank you for making my wish come true" his voice was full of sarcasm which added to the comedic vibe.

I was snapping photos of Urquhart castle when Evan took ahold of the polaroid and started taking photos of me which made me squirm.

"Hey! Stop" I whined as I tried to grab it back off him but he continued making work with the polaroid to my dismay.

"Oh come on, you look adorable. Henry tell her how adorable she looks" he said in the same whining tone; flicking his eyes to Henry who was minding his own business.

I blushed "I am not adorable" I said with a shudder "and stop flirting with me. We aren't even together.."

Evan raised an eyebrow "you told me you loved me last night"

Almost choking on my saliva I turned my head up to him in horror "I-I take it back. That was all drunken words"

Evan looked hurt and nodded "if that's the case then I'm sorry for my bad flirting attempt"

Smiling I shook my head "no, it was cute"

Evan wrapped an arm around my shoulders and sighed "considering we didn't cheat on one another.. is there a way to get you to be my girlfriend again?"

I frowned at his forwardness "honestly Evan.. you're going to Los Angeles so soon. I don't want to deal with losing you again"

"We can make it work, long distance relationships can work" Evan tried to reassure but I cut him off

"Evan, I'm sorry but no. Let's just enjoy this trip and go from there. If the future wants us to be together then we will"
