Alright. Nathan said, standing up and turning to walk back into the kitchen.
When nobody spoke or moved, he turned back around to face Dustin.
Well aren’t you gonna help me bake those cookies ? He asked his younger brother with a small smile.
Dustin’s face immediately lit up. He suddenly nodded and ran to his brother, grabbing his legs in a hug. Nathan chuckled and picked him up, staring down at Dustin with pure adoration.
The action made my heart melt.
Nathan then walked down the hall to the very end with his brother in his arms.
Ready ? He asked Dustin as he put him down.
Ready. He replied, staring ahead of him as I stared at the two in confusion.
Don’t forget about me ! Max yelled, running to join their row they had formed.
I watched as they all grinned at each other knowingly.
On your marks. Max said.
Get set. Nathan grinned.
Go ! Dustin yelled as they all darted forward and almost toppled over everything in their way as they raced towards the kitchen.
I finally realized they were having a race.
I watched as Nathan pushed Max to the ground and turned towards Dustin who was still sprinting his small legs behind them.
Run ! Nathan shouted at his younger brother as he held down Max.
Dustin started laughing in joy and dashed towards the kitchen just as Max broke free and the two brothers sprinted forward and passed Dustin.
It looked like Dustin was going to lose and I couldn’t let that happen. So I took action.
They were almost there but hadn’t seen me creeping towards the kitchen so my plan would surely work.
Just as Nathan was about to dash through the entrance of the kitchen and win, I let out a battle cry and jumped onto his back, tackling him to the ground.
What the f- I quickly put my hand over Nathan’s mouth, cutting off his cuss just in time. He struggled underneath me but I kept him pinned to the floor.
I looked up and yelled at Dustin. Run ! Run Dustin ! I cried dramatically.
His face suddenly became very focused and he put in all his power to those small little legs. I heard a yell from behind me to see Max sprinting his way towards the finish line but quickly ruined his plan.
I stuck out my arm just as he ran by and pulled his ankle, causing him to come crashing down next to Nathan and I.
What the hell woman !? He yelled at me as Dustin finally entered the kitchen and cheered in victory.
I sat up so now I was straddling Nathan’s struggling body and grinned at Dustin proudly.
I’m sorry guys, but Dustin is the true deserving winner here. I smirked down at them both.
It’s still rude to interfere in a serious race like that. Nathan said, looking up at me with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He seemed happy to see Dustin dancing around in excitement.
Max nodded. Nathan’s right, that was foul play !
I rolled my eyes as they both teamed up and began to yell at me for making them lose.
They really were sore losers…
I stood up and walked away from their protests and demands to go congratulate Dustin.
Congratulations ! You did it ! I exclaimed and bent down to pick up the kid.
He laughed and grinned. You should be on a football team. He stated, his face serious now.
I shook my head. No way, we make too great of a team. I can’t leave you.
He giggled and put up a hand.
I gave his small hand a high-five and set him back down.
Will you do the happy dance with me ? Dustin asked now, looking up at me.
I smirked back at him. I most definitely will.
His smile grew wider and I faced the entrance where Nathan and Max were standing, still looking like sore losers.
I bent down to Dustin’s ear and whispered my amazing plan, to which he excitedly shook his head at. I stood back up and gave the two brothers a victory smirk.
One, two, three, go ! I yelled as we burst into song.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS ! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS ! We both burst out singing at the top of our lungs.
NO TIME FOR LOSERS ! I screamed as I pushed a glaring Max and Nathan away from us.
CUZ WE ARE THE CHAM- We were both cut off rudely as the two brothers split up our alliance. Nathan tackled me to the ground while Max picked up Dustin and ran out of the kitchen with him as he screamed and giggled.
Sup cheater. Nathan looked down at me with humor in his eyes as I finally stopped struggling.
He was now straddling me with all his weight on me, so it was now impossible to get up. Hell, it was impossible to move.
Sup loser. I gave him a bright smile. Or should I say, sore loser.
His amused smirk suddenly vanished as he gave me a death glare before doing the worst torture known to mankind…
I burst into a fit of giggles as Nathan’s hands tickled my sides, my stomach, my neck, and everywhere else.
This was the second time I had been abused by his tickling hands today.
STOP ! I managed to get out between breathes. I DEMAND YOU TO STOP TICKLING ME ! I cried out as I squirmed under his wrathful hands.
His hands suddenly froze and he stopped to give me a smug look.
Or what ? He challenged with a raised brow.
I’ll pee on you. I smirked, the idea coming out of nowhere.
He just raised his brow higher, and let out a scoff.
Now that’s not very ladylike. He scolded.
His amused grin suddenly dropped and turned into a scrunched look of disgust when he saw my face was fully serious.
Gross. He said, standing up instantly and taking a step away from me now.
I did a mental fist pump since my poker face had worked. I didn’t have the guts to pee in public, let alone on some hot guy.
