Chapter Ten: Question

Chapter Ten:

Question

It was 5th of November and all of our families were getting together at Miles and Katie's new house, they had found the house about one month ago but not all of us had had the chance to see it, so this was kind of a house warming party as well, minus the alcohol, because she was six months pregnant and Miles didn't want her to be tempted.

She wouldn't be tempted anyway because she wasn't even a drinker anyway, none of us were, but Miles was overly protective now that they knew what they were having, not that they had told us, they wanted it to be a surprise.

We were meeting at their house at around five this afternoon, and having a barbeque, before the firework display at the park across the road from their house would begin between seven thirty and eight.

Kyle's brother Mitchell was picking me up from the apartment that I used to share with Katie, at four thirty, because Kyle was filming until around six, and said that he would meet us there.

There hadn't been much mention of him in the film, just that he was new, and his role was pretty big, I knew that the rumours would start once the film had been released, and more pictures of him would be taken with of celebrities and the press will jump to conclusions instead of getting the facts.

My brother was coming to and bringing his girlfriend of seven years, Karee, Mitchell was picking them up as well, because we would be driving past their place any way.

Mitchell arrived just after half past four and waited for me to put my shoes on, grab a coat and lock up, before we went to get my brother and Karee.

I had text them, to say that we were on our way, so they were ready when we arrived and jumped into the back of the car, once Mitchell had beeped the car horn. We got to Miles and Katie's house just before five, and Katie welcomed us all in with a big smile and hugs, telling the guys that Miles was out the back before turning to us. "

So how are you girls?" She asked, as she closed the door behind us and led us towards the kitchen.

"Fine, thanks" Karee said, she wasn't really used to hanging out with us, because she was older than us, but she was still polite.

"Yeah I'm great, how are you? Look how big you've gotten, not long left now?"

"I'm fine, no three months left"

We all sat around the table and Katie walked over the counter and started to pulled glasses from the cupboard.

"Do either of you want a drink?"

"Water's, fine thanks" I said.

"Same please" Karee agreed. Katie put four of the glasses on the table and started filling them all with water, I was about to ask her about the extra glass, when the back door opened and Sophie walked through.

"Sophie" I smiled at her, as I stood up and hugged her, "How are you? It's been awhile"

"I'm good, you?"

"Great" We both sat at the table and the four of us gossiped about all the new things in our lives, until Katie brought up Kyle's absence.

"So, Rosie," That was her nickname for me, "Where's Kyle this evening, I didn't see him arrive with you?"

"Oh, he's filming today, he said he should be done by six, and will try to be here before the firework show, and he also said to keep some food for him"

"Okay, I think we can do that."

After sitting in the kitchen for about another twenty minutes, Christopher came in through the back door to tell us that the food was ready if we wanted to go out now, so we all followed him out.
