‘’Tommy Verlane you go get your ass in the shower right this second. I’ll call him. Now go.’’ I smiled but pointed firmly in the direction on the bathroom.

With a sigh Tommy pulled himself towards the destination and with a short and quiet squeal I sprinted for my iphone4s, fumbling with it trying to find it’s right side up before typing in my code and calling Chris.

Ring ring.

‘’Hel--‘’

‘’It’s happening.’’

Beep beep.

Another squeal left my body as it shook with excitement.  This is the day, the day fated that all my lovey dovey and sometimes mean work would come together to push those two butt cakes together.

I already knew Chace was on his way home all I had to do was wait for Chris to come over and then the show could start.

Knock knock.

I looked at my phone to show only 2 minutes had gone past.

I opened the door pleased with Chris’s red cheeks, messy hair and wrinkled clothes from coming here in the last second.

Then again, he could have been going at it with someone.

Nah. He’s way too innocent for that. Then again….

I mentally shrugged.

‘’Did I miss anything?’’ He rushed in looking around for any signs of movement.

‘’Nope just in time. Chace should be here any second.’’

‘’Good then I can--‘’

Ring ring.

Groaning, I pulled myself away from Chris and over the phone in the dining room to be pleased by hearing Mumma Verlane’s voice but also a little worried for my plan.

 ‘’Tommy your mum is on the phone!’’

I heard the shower water slow to an agonizingly annoying drip and Tommy walked down the stairs messing around with his towel that he wore around like a girl trying to cover her boobs.

While Tommy took the phone I walked back towards Chris as we went over our plan of how we would be able to hear and see everything that would happen tonight, and if it didn’t happen tonight, it would be a horrible upset for us.

There was no way we worked so hard telling Tommy and Chace everything we did to bring them together this moment. They were like our children we have reared to perfection and this was the deciding moment, the make or break point in our journey for their love to blossom into a beautiful orchid of hope, wonder, dreams and the most obvious; love.

‘’Jen! Mum is going to be home soon!’’ Tommy cheered before a door was heard closing and heavy footsteps marched towards the phone.

Chris and I raced towards the doorway separating the dining room from the living room and watched on, slightly concealed by the wall as Chace pulled the phone from Tommy’s hands and hung it up.

‘’What do you think you’re--‘’

‘’Why did you leave!?’’

‘’What do you mean why did I leave!?’’

‘’I went to talk to Lilly and you just disappeared I was so worried.’’

‘’Did you expect me to stay there while you were talking to that--‘’

‘’GUYS! Seriously shut up and go sit down and eat or go to your room or do something.’’ I put my hands on my hips interrupting their useless yelling as Chris let out a squeak and hid behind the wall completely.

Tommy looked back at Chace giving him a once over before turning to leave, rushing up the stairs and towards his room.

I looked at Chace who just stared at the spot where Tommy once was.

‘’Well?’’ I pushed my hip out to one side, leaning it against the wall, my hands firmly place onto my hips still showing him I wouldn’t let him off so easy.

‘’Well what?’’

‘’Go up there!’’ I threw my left hand to the air gesturing towards his room and shaking my head at his senseless time wasting.

‘’I’ll give him time to--‘’ He made his way towards the dining room but I shoved myself in front of him and raised an eyebrow.

‘’On second thought I’ll go up there now.’’

‘’Mhm.’’ I smiled and pushed him towards the stairs where he slowly made his way up.

‘’That was close’’ Chris walked up behind me grabbing his heart and finally taking a breath.

‘’Yep now move your toosh up the stairs quietly mister I’m not missing a thing.’’ Smiling evilly and barely containing our giggles we moved slowly up the stairs after Chace finally decided to knock and make his entrance into Tommy’s room.

Looking through a small space in the door, Chris’s head below mine, our view limited to one eye each, we watched on as Tommy continued his stubborn ritual of being oblivious to Chace the same as Chace failed to realise how jealous Tommy was of Lily.

‘’No, Tommy please look at me.’’

Then it happened.

The big moment we had been waiting for since Tommy walked through that Donut King door the first day he moved here and laid eyes on Chace.

Their kiss.

The kiss was magical. It was a story book kiss to the point where I could almost swear I saw fireworks and hear the chimes of choir boys singing in the background.

Chace finished with only the best ending I could ever wish for in their first kiss.

‘’Tommy, I love you.’’

Chris couldn’t contain his squeal which had me quickly covering his mouth and dragging him down the stairs while containing my own happiness.

‘’That was perfect Jen !’’ He whisper squealed.

‘’I know I know !’’ I cried out in happiness once we were in the safety of the kitchen.

‘’What are we going to do now? I mean, he’s going to want to know about Lily.’’

‘’Oh I think we can let Chace handle that one.’’

‘’But, I feel kind of bad. We sort of, kind of got them into that mess.’’ Chris nibbled his lip and played with his fingers.

‘’Oh whatever.  They needed some jealousy and confusion to bring them along.’’

‘’I hope they get together now.’’

‘’Speaking of getting together…’’ I wriggled my eyebrows as I looked over Chris’s still wrinkles clothes and slightly messy hair.

‘’Oh whatever.’’ Pushing my shoulder and turning his back on me I could tell he was blushing as his ears turned red and he raced for the door leaving me to deal with the boys.

‘’He’s totally with him.’’ I said confidently to myself.

Taking one last glance up the stairway and smiling, I thought about what the boys could be doing. They weren’t the type to go at it after something like that. I could almost guarantee they were spooning tonight, and not by accident or the other person not knowing for a change.

They were definitely going to be a cute and troublesome couple.
