âi have perfectly good reason for not doing all my homework,â selene sniffs, âi had to prepare myself for this trip, and a girl can never have too many pairs of shoes or clothes.â a small smile curls on her lips at the mention of scarlet, and she nods, âi love her like a little sister, you know?â she shrugs now, âokay, then when we go back to ever after, iâll ask. would that stop your nagging, gramps?â
âi donât blame those girls though. hormones and whatnot drive you to do a lot of crazy things- even if it means being completely clueless at a basketball game to catch a glimpse of that crush,â selene says with a bit of pity. the amount of fangirls there was insane. but they were young and harboring crushes, so it wasnât like selene could hate them. she rose a brow, looking from her deck to his own eyes, âperhaps there is? but then again, i should probably know- i am the self proclaimed president. i donât know if thereâs an official one, but iâm sure thereâs plenty of girls already begging for your attention- even if itâs solely focused on our dear axel cupid.â
âi do not flirt all the time. i am simply being friendly. get with the times, gramps. and, if i do flirt, iâm pretty sure iâd be a stuttering mess. not smooth at all, donât you agree? but, then wouldnât you call what we did yesterday a date then? we were obviously alone, and...â she trails off, biting her bottom lip.
selene shrugs, âokay, i mean i probably shouldnât judge so quickly, especially since iâm most likely going to be meeting your family pretty soon. but iâm super excited for this childhood friend of yours. he sounds like someone that would be able to keep up with my adrenaline rushes.â
selene hands him over the queen before drawing a card from the deck. a smirk blooms on her face, and she holds up the four fives before grinning mischievously at him, âsorry iâm going to have to cut your story short, grumpy. you can tell me your dad joke after you fulfill your end of the deal.â she laughs, âsay hello to the winner of go fish. and you know what that means, donât you?â she pauses for dramatic effect, âthatâs right. i dare you, ezio lebeau to kiss axel cupid- on the lips.â she holds up a finger, wagging it when the older starts to complain, ânope, you cannot back out of this. we promised this would be the reward for the winner of the game, and if you back out, youâre not holding up your end of the bargain. if you had won, i know you wouldâve dared me to kiss darian.â
she stands up, stretching quickly after she set down her winning set of fiveâs. as she waits for ezio to stand up, she spies the aforementioned boy they were just talking about- axel, and she nudges (or rather pushes really hard) the ezio in that direction. âenjoy your time together, love birds! i better see those lips connect!âÂ
âtell axel i said hi, will you gramps? you can thank me later!â
