Chapter Seven:
Just One More Is Netflix's Slogan.
The Michaels were painting their house. Not the outside of it, the inside. Why would this effect me? Well you see, when you decide to paint the whole upstairs off your house in one go, the place starts to stink up a little. Which means the family has to all pile into our house so they don't die of paint fumes.
See both our houses are quite big. They were originally four bedrooms but then the attics were converted to bedrooms too. In our house that means Elliot's in the attic, the spare trips in a room together, the twins, my parents and then I get a room all to myself. In Jayden's house everyone had a room of their own.
But that means that none of them could sleep in their own bedrooms. The fumes had even taken over their bottom floor. So of course my mother having the heart of gold she does invited them to stay with us until the paint work was done. Meaning Zoe was in my room. Which wasn't that bad since I'm used to living with someone in my room. Jessie wasn't too pleased though being kicked out of my room for a while.
Zoe plops her gear bag on my king size bed and smiles at me. She was ecstatic to have a girl friend. Apparently back home she never really got on with girls, they all acted too ditsy for her liking. So she stuck with a couple of boys.
"Can we do girl stuff?" Zoe asks lying on my bed.
"Like what?" I reply from my comfortable spot on my windowsill. Looking out my window I can see them painting Jayden's room a purpley colour. I make note to ask him about that later.
"I don't know. Paint our nails, have a pillow fight, braid each others hair." Zoe lists off the most cliche things ever.
"Do you really want to do those things?" I laugh at her. Zoe doesn't strike me as a cliche. Sitting up on her elbows she furiously shakes her head pouting her lip a little.
"How about we do one cliche? We order Chinese food and watch Netflix?" I suggest and from the little dance Zoe proceeds to do I'm guessing she is up for it.
"Can we watch a new series though? I haven't got anything good to watch out here I need something new." Zoe wonders and I know exactly who to ask.
Getting up from my spot I make my way down the hallway ushering Zoe to follow. Knocking on the trips door I get a fright when Brandon answers.
"Hi is Kyle in there?" I ask sheepishly.
I don't know what it is about Brandon. He just scares me a little I never know what to say. He has this brooding stare that gets deep into your soul. Ok he's not that bad I just have that much of an active imagination.
Brandon steps back and pulls the door wide revealing Kyle sitting on his bed. Walking into my brother's room I join him on the bed.
"Hey." I begin but Kyle cuts me off quickly.
"Did you finish that book yet?" He asks.
"Yes." I haven't gotten any sleep because of it.
"Can I have it?"
"No. I have to be at least three books into the series before you start just so you don't catch up with me." I groan hitting him in the shoulder.
"But you take so long to read a book." Kyle gives out. Quinn walks in surveying the room. He seems to also be getting used to the extra people.
"For us normal humans Lee is actually a fast reader just because you are a weird freak who blink reads." Quinn stands up for me as he grabs his earphones off of his bed.
"Blink reads?" Brandon asks hopping onto the top bunk of Kyle's bed.
Kyle got a bunk bed two years ago for when they have a friend stay over and it's obviously being useful now.
"Kyle just blinks and has a whole page read." Quinn explains.
"Anyway." I wave my hands getting the attention back to me. "Zoe and I want to start a new series on Netflix do you have any suggestions?"
"Are you kidding? I have been asking you to watch Once Upon A Time for months now." Kyle stands up looking down at me in shock.
"Well then we shall start now." I look at Zoe and she nods along with me.
"I'm watching it with you. I want to see your faces when you first experience the pure awesomeness of this show." Kyle walks out if his room and back towards mine.
Quinn and I look at each other and laugh.
"He's just a little fangirl at heart isn't he?" Brandon looks at me and smiles. He seems to be thawing out a little.
Following after Kyle Zoe nudges me once we are out of the boys room.
"You got a smile." Zoe looks amazed by this.
Jayden walks out of the twins room when Zoe grabs his arm.
"She got a smile." Zoe tells Jayden who just repeats his sisters statement.
"What is the big deal?" I ask throwing my arms in the air.
"That means he likes you." Jayden hugs me in congratulation I think.
"Get your hands off my sister." Kyle shouts from my room.
Jayden holds his hand behind his head and turns to Kyle asking why he was in my room anyway. When Kyle tells Jayden about Netflix Zoe face palms.
"You backstabber." Jayden turns and shouts at his sister.
"Why? Why did you tell him?" Zoe moans pushing past Jayden and into my room.
"I am your Netflix buddy. I am watching it with you." Jayden announced following after his sister pulling me by the hand.
"Dude touch her again." Kyle warns him.
"I'm sorry I can't help it." Jayden shrugs sitting on my bed. Zoe throws me a look which I quickly ignore. I swiftly change the subject.
"So what do you want from the Chinese?"
Ten episodes. We have watched ten episodes. Non-stop. Looking at the empty take away boxes on the floor I can only think that they are going to stink up the room.
"Guys we have to stop." I shake my head turning towards the end of my bed.
"No no just one more." Zoe shushes me sinking back down into her position.
"Just one more is Netflix's slogan." Jayden laughs rubbing his sisters head.
She pushes him away and grabs one of my pillows holding onto it as if it was a teddy bear. Kyle was long gone. Considering he has already seen this before it was ok. He was at he very end of the bed and was leaning up against the wall.
Half way through the next episode Zoe put her feet on Kyle and her head on Jayden. Jayden flips her so that her head was on Kyle.
"We have to stop now she will freak if we continue on without her." Jayden whispers to me.
Yawning I nod and get ready to get up to turn off the laptop when Jayden stops me. He gets up for me. Smiling at him my eyes start to droop close. Last thing I hear is Jayden laughing and then I feel his arms wrap around me and I fall asleep.
This book has gotten such a brilliant response and I love you guys for supporting me. I will get more into the story soon and school starts. Which means more of Charlie!
