“What’s going on in here?” I smiled.
Laughter ripped out of me when Liam turned around, and his face was all painted with makeup.
“Shut up, Drew.”
“But you look so pretty.”
“Haha, very funny. Little smarty pants Sophie over here made me sign a piece of paper that I would let her put makeup on me if she let me watch the playoff game.”
Pulling my phone from my pocket, I quickly snapped his picture.
“Damn you, Drew!” he yelled.
“Sorry, bro, or should I say, sis? It was too good of an opportunity to pass up.” I laughed.
“How did it go with Jill?”
Staring at him, I couldn’t seem to hold a conversation while he was wearing all that makeup. The bright red lipstick was really bugging me.
“You need to take that makeup off, dude. I can’t talk to you like that.”
He rolled his eyes. “Soph, go get the face wipes.”
“Okay, Uncle Liam.” She giggled.
Sophie returned with the face wipes, and Liam started to wipe off the makeup.
“Okay. Go on. I want details.”
“Lia said she could tell Jillian was upset.”
“Okay. That’s good.”
“Not really. I didn’t want to upset her and I’m sure I made matters worse when we danced together, and I sang in her ear.”
“Nice one, Drew.” He smiled.
“Then why do I feel like a complete dick?”
“Listen, bro. You did what you had to do. I mean, sometimes, we have to hurt the people we love in order for them to wake up. Trust me. She’ll be back in your life soon.”
“And if she isn’t?”
He stopped wiping his face and looked at me with confusion.
“Well, I don’t know. Then maybe I was wrong about her, but I doubt it. Have a little faith.”
“I’m going to head home. Thanks again for watching the girls. Are you taking Sophie home?”
“Nah, she’s spending the night. But no more makeup!” He pointed at her, and she giggled.
I chuckled as I headed to the door.
“Good night, Miss Sophie.”
“Good night, Mr. Drew. Be careful walking home.”
“Yeah, try not to trip over any bushes,” Liam yelled.
