“Oh Adriaaaaan.” Lucas mother scoops up Adrian in her arms blowing raspberries into his tummy as he laughs loudly.
“He loves watching videos about different trucks and cars so yo should be fine.” I kiss Adrian head as she giggles.
“Is it okay that I bought him toys to play with?” She ask as I nod.
It was Friday, and the boys surprisingly didn’t have a game, but that was because they had a game on Wednesday which was weird but I’m not going to question it, so we spend the whole afternoon at our own house packing up for our little sleepover for the weekend. This week has been super uneventful.
Anyways, I drove to Lucas house with Adrian and I was already in my party outfit which I know that Nate was not going to approve of but i liked it and he really isn’t going to fight me on this one.
Lucas brings me to his ‘Man cave’ where we were all going to sleep for the night. There were four air mattresses as well as two pull out beds and a bean bag chair. I throw my bag by the bean bag chair laying on it. It was huge and could fit up to three people.
“I call dibs.” I tell him as he laughs.
“First come first serve love.” He sits on the couch. “You sure about that outfit? Nate isn’t going to like this.”
“That’s what I think I’m going for.” I smirk glancing down at my tight black and red skirt with a black tank crop top.
“Party people!!” Travis walks in gasping as he sees me. “The beautiful Alex is here.”
“Hey Travis.” I hug him just as Reuben and Jamil walks in. “Boys.”
“Hello Alex.” Reuben kisses my cheek hugging me.
“You’re showing too much skin.” Jamil tsk me as I nod.
“Sorry father.” I tell him making him laugh as the girls all burst through the door.
“Cute.” Erin giggles as they all put their bags down.
“Wheres Nate?” Reuben ask checking his phone.
“Not sure, he never texted me back.” Jamil pouts as I go on and text Nate which he texts me back that he’s on a call but he’s outside.
“He said he’s on the phone but he’s outside.” I tell Jamil with a smirk.
“Its because you have a vagina.” He cry’s tackling me to the floor as I burst into laughter.
“Oh yeah its totally that.” I tell him as he rolls off me and I sit up just as Nate walks through the door with an angry face.
“Nathy.” Jamil coos as Nate pushes him away and goes to sit down on one of the chairs. Everyone get silent as Jamil walks over to Nate Cautiously. “You okay?”
“Ill tell you later.” Nate says as he looks over at me his glare not lifting up at all.
“So, party?”
❧
We reach the party and I stick to the girls as we trickle into the kitchen. They pass me a drink and I take two downing it all at once reaching for another.
“Uh, are you sure?” Paige ask as I nod.
“If this is about the way Nate was loo-”
“Give me another drink.” I cut her off as they pass me another cup. I start downing drinks not even caring. Maybe I did something wrong. I mean why should I care, right? Yes hes my boyfriend, but I should be able to drink without someone thinking its because something is wrong.
“Alex.” Jamil exclaims taking me as I swig on my sixth drink. “Woah, slow down girl.”
“Sorry.” I smirk as he leads me to the dance floor. I raise an eyebrow at him. “You want to dance?”
“No, I don’t.” I turn to Nate as he pulls me close to his body.
“Hey.” He whispers wrapping his arms his arms around me.
“Hello lover.” I lean into his chest forgiving all about his mean glare but not completely forgetting. “What did I do, are you upset with me?”
“I’m not mad at you baby, something happened and....” He trails off kissing me. “I’m sorry, I’m just glad your in my arms now.”
“Mmm, no I think I’m going to be mad at you for a couple more minutes.” I take the drink out of his hand drinking it.
“Baby, that was straight rum baby.” He calls behind me as I dance off looking for the girls, or even Jamil, but I realize my mistake as I run into the same guy from the football game. Jason.
“So little lady having fun?” He ask as I nod giddily.
“Yes, this party is really fun.” Why am I even replying to him, Nate is going to be mad.
“Alex I’m so-” before I know it I’m looking at someone’s back. “What the f**k do you think your doing?”
“Ah, Nate interruption must be your favorite thing to do.” Jason mocks as I feel a hand on my shoulder turning to Jamil.
“You think so?” Nate ask as I sense a smirk is sitting on his face.
“Yeah, first Janet, now Alex. You let Janet have fun, let Alex play around too.” Jason says and Nate swings. Jason guys all grab Nate taking him off their friend as the boys push me back and start helping Nate out. It was honestly a crazy chain reaction that shouldn’t have happen and before I could realize what was going on, I was in the back yard puking in someone’s pool with Erin holding my hair.
“Aww you drank way too much sweetie.” She coos rubbing my back. Not only that but the excitement made my stomach hurt.
“Wow, she did also mixed her liquor.” Jamil says walking towards us and squats down next to me laughing. “You’re crazy, but cute.
“Nate is looking for you Alex.” Lucas calls to us as I sit up from leaning over the pool.
“Tell him to give me a second.” I tell Erin as she walks over to Lucas.
“Huh, why were you drinking so much?” Jamil tsk me. “Is it because of Nate?”
“Who’s Janet?” I ask as Jamil's eyes widen slightly.
“Those aren’t my Demons to confront.” He says as I lay back and he follows suit.
“Does he hate me?” I ask as he laughs shaking his head.
“He got jumped for you, well not for you but you know what I mean.” He reassures. “He cares about you very much. Its just hard to let people in.”
“I get that.” I mumble laying my head on his chest. “You’re a great friend to him and i could tell that you two really love each other.”
“Oh really?” He laughs caressing my hair.
“Yes, even when he bully’s you.” I tell him smiling. “You guys are the best guys I’ve ever met.”
“Mmm, think you love Nate?” Jamil ask as I nod.
“I feel more in love everyday.” I tell him as he giggles.
“So cute.”
“Jamil.” We turn to Nate as Jamil helps me up and I jump into Jake arms hugging him.
“Are you okay?” I ask him as he nods.
“Yeah, no more drinking for you my love.” He taps my nose and I nod agreeing with him.
“Whos Janet?” I ask him and he shakes his head.
“That is for a another day princess. You’re drunk.” He lifts me up as we walk out the house, which the party was still going on and head back down the road to Lucas house. It was literally a 5 minute walk and it felt nice.
“I’m not that drunk, please let me know who she is.” I whine shaking his arm. “Why did Jason bring her up?”
“Alex, drop it.” He tells me as we walk into Lucas house and into the den.
“Fine.” I hop out of his arms stripping out of my clothes and laying on the beanbag. “Sleep somewhere else.”
“Alex, are you serious?” Nate ask but doesn’t even try to lay with me.
“I’m super serious.”

“Wakey wakey guys I have breakfast and Tylenol waiting for everyone.” Lucas mother, who name I found out literally just now is Lisa, I’m a horrible person, but this horrible person had a headache. I wake up to a blanket over my body making me smile.
“How can you sleep on this my back is killing me.” Jamil whines sitting up from the bean bag as I stand up too keeping the blanket around me since I was still half naked, I didn't even realize he was sleeping next to me. I trudge into the kitchen and take the Tylenol before taking a plate and piling food on top.
“Mom I do love you.” Lucas moans making me laugh.
“Alex, please talk to me.” Nate takes my hand in his as I shake my head but don’t let go of his hand. “Alex.”
“Damn, what did you do? Not tell her what she asked?” Paige smirks but once she sees the look on his face frowns. “Oh, that’s a tough one. She can hold a grudge for a while.”
“Mmm, whats a while to you because I once didn’t talk to Aaron for a month.” I raise an eyebrow as her jaw drops.
“Welp, you got your answer.” She pats Nate arm as he sighs but follows me to sit on the couch. I start to eat my food and also feed Nate. I may be ignoring him but I’m not going to let him starve since he’s holding my hand.
“What are we going to do today?” Reuben ask. We had all finished eating and had the TV playing as background sound for us.
“We could have a normal day of just watching TV.” I shrug rolling my eyes at them.
“You’re boring my love.” Tina smiles as I roll my eyes.
“Fine, whatever do what you guys want.” I grumble.
“How about this. Alex you talk to Nate and we can do your idea.” Erin says as I shake my head.
“Ah, maybe we can go out.” I say.
“What is it that you want to know so bad anyways?” Paige ask as Jamil shakes his head at her as if she should've kept her mouth closed.
“Whos Janet?”

“Oh ha.” I mock Reuben as I put my hand on the red dot. Yes, we were playing twister and I was in uncomfortable spot between Nate and Travis.
“One wrong move and they tumble down on you Nate.” Lucas smirks as Nate glares at him.
“Travis you fall on my girl, I'll hurt you.”
“Roger that.” Travis grumbles as Lucas spins.
“Oh, this isn’t going to work.” He says as we look at the spinner and it was left hand on blue.
“Nope, game over.” Nate flips over grabbing me and rolling away from the boys as they topple down on the mat.
“Baby, we would’ve been fine.” I laugh slapping his chest as he shrugs. I was still mad that he wouldn't talk about this Janet girl, but I wasn't going to ruin the day dwelling on a nobody.
“Yeah, but I wanted to see them fall.” He kisses my nose as I stand up and he follows suit.
“Lets play again.” Jamil exclaims still in his position.
“Oh, you won.” I tell him as he rolls his eyes.
“Well of course I did.” He gets up as they spin again. I watch them play because I was played out.
“How are you and Dalia?” I ask Reuben as he smiles.
“We are good. Honestly I’m so happy spending time with her makes me never want to leave her side.” He says making me smile.
“Aww, you should’ve invited her.” I tell him as he laughs.
“You do realize there is only so much a person can take of this group.”
“Oh, I know. I try and run away all the time.” I laugh.
