Phillip grinned. "Thanks." He ran out of the room and I stared at Sam, confused by what I just heard.
"Greg's doing ice dancing?"
"Yeah," Sam said, heading out of the room. "Toby sent me a couple of videos. He's actually good. I'm pretty sure-"
The sound of the large door closing cut Sam off as he looked over the railing to see Liz, Joey and Lucas make their way inside. I rushed over to the twins who were taking off their jackets. "Happy birthday guys!"
They hugged me back and even with their identical grins I could sense some weird tension between them. "Thanks." They both said at the same time.
"How are you celebrating it?" I asked, looking more at Joey because I knew Lucas wasn't the social one.
"Joseph is kicking everyone out of the house to throw a party." Liz said, walking up the stairs past Sam.
"I'm still wondering how you managed to convince her to do that. I know you threw shit before but not to the point where you practically kick everyone out of the house." Sam said beside me.
"I'm not kicking out everyone," Joey said, crossing his arms. "You guys can come if you want."
"Going back to a high school party when I went to my last one months ago? Even if it's your birthday, sorry Joey." I patted him on the back and he laughed, expecting the answer from me as he went up the stairs.
"What about you?" Sam asked Lucas.
Lucas shrugged, putting his hands in his pockets. "I'm not doing anything."
"Oh yeah?" Sam asked and there was something in his tone that let me know that he was trying to get Lucas to admit something out loud.
"I'm probably just going to go to a friend's house or something."
"Or something?"
"Yeah." Lucas said, looking a little ticked off.
"Really? Nothing? No special friends to be with?"
Lucas' cheeks turned a light pink color and I got the hint that he was seeing someone today. "Wait, who is it?" I teased him, poking him in the stomach multiple times to a point where he swatted my hands away.
"Do you remember Sydney?" Lucas took the beanie off his head, running his hands through his hair that was ungelled which to me was a rare sight to see.
"From the wedding?" I asked, my lips parting with a surprise and a huge grin came onto my face. "Oh my God, are you guys dating now?"
Lucas rolled his eyes and Sam grabbed his brother, putting him into a headlock. "Tell her what you told me. How she-"
Lucas elbowed Sam in the stomach, making him release him with a grunt. Lucas fixed his shirt, grumbling to himself. "Shut up. You speak like you weren't rambling about Macy when you guys started dating."
I look at Sam, feeling surprised. "That's news to me."
He pointed a finger towards me. "Mute."
"Excuse me? Did you just tell me to mute? I-" I glanced at Lucas, changing the topic and composing myself. "So you guys are dating now?"
Lucas nodded, twisting the ring on his finger. "Yeah."
"I'm glad you finally got the balls to tell her how you feel." Sam muttered and I pushed him away for teasing his brother like that.
"Don't listen to him. Hope you have a great day."
"Thanks, I'll see you later." He walked away from us, going up the stairs and it was then that I shoved Sam.
