Chapter 57 : Hugs for everyone.

Mordecai sighed as he looked down at Jubilee disapprovingly, " What are you doing "? She wagged her fork in his face sarcastically, " Eating "? He twitched slightly, " You're meant to eat at the table Juju ".

She shrugged, putting more plantain in her mouth " But it's just us. And you know I prefer to hold my plate ". Cassie was a bit nervous watching the two bicker [ They're so different ]

He suddenly turned to her, " Cassie, tell this cave woman to come to the table ". She laughed nervously, raising her finger [ Don't drag me into it ] " Is it really important where we sit "?

Before the two could start yelling at each other, there was a knock at the door. Cassie got up and practically ran to the door, " I'll get it ". She was a bit surprised when she saw Lloyd and took a step back.

He leaned forward, hand on chin " Who are you? I don't think I got the wrong apartment ". He looked up when he heard an excited voice he recognized. He smiled as he opened his arms wide, "Big Brother Lloyd "!

Cassie was a bit surprised [ Did she just call The Interrogator her big brother? ] Jubilee smiled, arms wrapped around him as he wiped the corner of her mouth covered in oil, " Still as messy as ever ".

She heard another familiar voice as Leonardo let himself in, " Gee. Did anyone miss me "? Mordecai ran forward like an excited puppy, " Of course Brother Leo ". Leonardo patted his head with a smile, " You've gotten a lot taller Mordecai ".

Cassie felt like she was going to fall over [ What's the president's son even doing here? ] Asher popped out from behind as he pulled a dazed Cassie into a tight hug, " Hugs for everyone. I don't want my little strawberry feeling left out ".

She groaned as she gave up struggling against his embrace, " We met yesterday Brother Asher. And you're super sweaty ". He squeezed her even tighter, " But I've missed you so much since then ".

She turned red, " You shouldn't say things like that ". Rider groaned as he managed to close the door and looked at Cassie, " You look so red. Do you have a fever "? She turned her head and put it in his chest, " Cousin brother that's not true ".

Asher laughed, smoothing back her hair [ So silky smooth ] " Yeah. She always goes this colour around me, that's why I call her a strawberry ". Cassie pulled at his sweaty clothes, " Brother Asher ". Rider face palmed himself and shook his head, " How dense is he "?

" If you could just have Coda do it, why put me through all that "? Kofi smiled innocently as she tilted her head to the side, " But that wouldn't be as fun ". Peach suddenly locked him in an arm bar from behind, " Don't you dare do that again ".

He nodded while Chase sat in a lotus position quietly watching Peach and Kofi [ Women are scary ] Kofi poked a tired Dylan's cheek, " Help me with my hair ".

He tried to bite the finger but she was faster, " No ". Kofi pouted slightly, poking his cheek again " Pretty please ". Dylan turned his head in another direction, " You could have seriously hurt me earlier ".

She smiled playfully, " Don't forget the important part, I didn't ". Dylan sighed as he sat up [ That sounded like a threat for some reason ] " You're not gonna go away if I don't help you, huh "? Kofi nodded, turning her back to him, " Yeah ".

He sighed in defeat as he held her hair, " Y'all are bullies ". Peach sat up from her spot on the couch, her gentle voice slightly intimidating " Did you say something Omenio "?

Dylan shook his head and decided on braided pigtails for her. When he was done, he refused to let Kofi look that cute [ Why does a she devil look like a cute little angel? ]

He shook his head and muttered to himself, " Unacceptable ". He rolled the braids into buns and was even more frustrated, " Why do you look so cute "? Kofi was confused by the question but shook her head all the same, " I don't know. I guess I just am ".
