Argument with Mr.Grumpy Pants

Tiare POV:

Okay that was weird, was he talking to me though? I thought as I entered into the office. 

I flopped down on the couch and texted Cody to see how he's holding up without me. He probably doesn't even know I'm gone. 

Me: Hey stranger, can I take you out sometime?

Cody: Who are you and how did you get my number?

OMG this is funny. 

Me: Ur friend... Said you're hot and looking for a gf

Cody: WTH! I mean the hot part is right but I'm not looking for a gf?

Me: Oh so a one-time play thing? Wanna exchange nudes?

Cody: Oh hell no!

Me: I'll pay?

Cody: HAHAHA Tiare is that you?! Bro I swear if this is a joke I'm gonna come and beat Jumbo. 

Me: Don't you dare put Jumbo into our conversation he didn't do anything! He is like the sweetest Teddy ever! 

*phone ringing* 

 Hahaha this guy is good!

"Hello handsome" I said as I opened the camera for Facetime. 

"You little devil! Where the heck are you? We came back last night and you weren't here and some of your stuff is missing and you took Jumbo!" He scolded into the phone making me smile. 

They're like my brothers always looking after me. I remembered walking to my apartment after my first day of class with my favorite strawberry smoothie and finding them with their stuff on the sidewalk because they couldn't pay for their rent anymore and were kicked out. 

"Hey are you guys okay? Do you need help?" I asked looking at the two boys sitting on the sidewalk looking like the world just came crashing down on them. 

"If you can pay for our rent or give us a roof over our heads with a bed then yes you can" one of the boy said sarcastically and continued looking down. Clearly he is upset. 

"Okay pack up your stuff and follow me, my apartment is just 5 mins away." I said to them. 

They looked at me like their eyes about to fall off.

"Look little girl we don't appreciate your jokes now. I might just hurt you if you keep treating us like a joke." The other boy said looking like hulk when he turned and want to tear everything apart. 

"Look here Mr. Hulk! I was just trying to be nice to you and offer you my apartment which has 3 rooms and there's only me. You don't have to be a big meanie and turn into hulk!" I said staring him down and daring him to be mean again and I'll bite his ears. 

"Hahahaha. You??? three bed room apartment? Any joke better than that?" he said holding his stomach and laughing. 

"Fine! I was just being nice to you and you're just gonna be mean and laugh at me?" I said stomping my feet because he is annoying. 

"I'll go then! Enjoy sleeping on the sidewalk" I said walking away and feeling my mood drop. 

"Wait!" The other one called out to me stopping me. 

"Okay fine we'll follow you. If you lie to us you'll let us spend at least tonight in your living room and we'll find another place" the guy said pulling his luggage as they tried t catch up to me. 

"And if I'm telling the truth?" I asked. 

"Your choice." the other boy answered. 

"We'll be best friends forever and you'll be in charge of throwing away the trashed" I said with my finger on my chin.

"Is that it? How about paying the rent and bills and food?!" they asked. 

"My family provide everything so it's fine. I just need a friend to and from school." I said feeling sad I still don't have friends. 

"Okay fine deal! Wait who are you? are you rich?" One of them asked. 

"I'm not rich my parents are. I'll introduce you guys to them one day" I said and led them to my apartment. 

From then on they were like my brothers. We do our stuff in the morning and noon and at night we chill and Netflix or do other stuff. They don't like it if people made me sad or angry or cry. 

"Hey are you okay?" Cody asked trying to get my attention and cutting off my flashback. 

"Yeah just thinking about how I first met you guys and stuff" I said. 

"Haha yes good times but I'm forever grateful for my previous landlord because if he did not kick us out we would not have met you" He said and made my eyes all teary. 

"Don't say that. I am the one who is grateful. You guys treated me like your own sister and always kept me safe and feeling loved." I said wiping away a tear. 

"Aww is my babygirl crying?" he cooed. 

"Who the heck are you calling babygirl?" someone roared and I looked up only to be met with the eyes that drowned me in but this time they looked so dangerous and scary. 

I wasn't able to answer him as the phone that was once in my hand was grabbed and hit the wall. This time I was not scared. Who in the living Coronavirus pandemic does he think he is? Tyler Perry?! Only Tyler Perry has the right and permission to kill my mood, stop my conversation, and throw my brothers phone at the wall!

"Oh heck no! Who in the world do you think you are barging into this room and breaking a phone that's not yours! Tyler Perry?!" I screamed at him pushing into his chest, which I might add are hard against my poor tiny finger. 

"Who is that? Your boyfriend? You're not allowed to have a boyfriend! And who is Tyler Perry? Are you seeing two guys?!" He growled in my face.

"Look here Mr. I'm gonna throw my saliva everywhere I want to, you don't get to tell me if I should date or not! Why do you even care? Now give me your phone so I can call back my future husband and tell him that yes I want to marry him!" I screamed in his face and I guess I can be Ms. I'm gonna throw my saliva everywhere too. 

"You are mine and mine alone!" He said slowly backing me up to the wall. 

"In your wildest dream, Pedro!" I said staring him down. Then I felt his fist pass my face and hit the wall behind me. 

"I am so gonna tell my dad!" I said pushing him away. I saw my dad and brothers and his family standing in the door not moving just staring at us. 

"I did not do that! He broke the wall, it's all him." I said putting my hands up in the air as if surrendering to a cop. 

His family looked amused but mines are still speechless. 

"Tiare please just listen to him or he'll hurt you" my dad begged. 

"Matt that's enough" His dad told him.

"Why are you so irritating! Why can't you just be the angel I thought you were and just listen and agree to what I say?" Mr. Grumpy Pants said pulling his hairs as if his answers are at the root of his hairs. 

"And who do you think you are? You think I'm gonna bow with your every command? Try say sit and I'll fly" I sassed back. 

"One day little girl, one day you'll be begging for me" He said sounding so confident. 

"Yeah begging  for you to shut that loud mouth of yours and get out of my face" I said lookin at my fingers as if seeing dirt in them. 

I saw his phone peeking out of his pocket and an idea came up. 

"Tiare don't" my brothers all said as if reading my mind. 

"Don't what?! I wasn't gonna do anything!" I said but I'm gonna do it anyways. 

"Tiare Lizabeth McKayley we know that look." my mom said as they walked from the door into the room and that just gave me more space to run. 

I looked back at Mr. Grumpy Pants and did my puppy dog eyes no one can resist. 

"I'm sowy Misto GRumpy Pants. I won't do it again now give me a hug" I hugged him and felt thousand tingles where my body met his. I quickly jumped off him and luckily got his phone. I think he was shocked from my sudden mood change or that I hugged him that he stood frozen and though he looked funny it was time to move. 

I walked closed to the door and as I see the elevator was open I looked back at him and showed him his phone. 

"Ha psyche adios loser" I yelled and ran as fast as my feet could carry me to the elevator. I pressed the close button. 

"Tiare" Oops he must be out of his daze. 

I saw him out of the door when the elevator was almost closing and waved him goodbye and the elevator door closed shut.
