: 03 Dressed Nice

I wanted to get Sammy alone and just talk to him. I want him to be someone that is right for Nash. If it isn't me, I hope whoever he's choosing is the one.

"Sammy." I waved walking down the stairs. "Care to take a walk in the back?" I asked happily. Taylor came up to me and tugged my arm. "How do I know you won't do anything dumb?" I rolled my eyes. "Fine. Do you want to go?"

Taylor walked off and I waited for his response. Within short moments he came with Shawn and Nash. "Cameron wanted you to know that he's walking with your fianace on the boardwalk. Shawn and I will be with them. Alright?" I awkwardly nodded on my tip toes.

Taylor is throwing so much attention out there and it's pissing me off. I promised that I wouldn't do anything dumb or pathetic. Can't I just talk to my ex boyfriends soon to be husband?!

Sammy walked out first, his flip flops hitting the sand. "So? Talk about what's up." I smiled at him. "As you know, Nash and I are cool. I just want to be sure that you're cool. I want us to be cool if Nash is the one that keeps us cool. Get it?" He signaled a chuckle. "Good." I sighed.

"Anyways. Hey I'm Sammy and I'm from Omaha. Nash and I met through one of Jack and Jacks party for their music. Someone was man handling Nash while I was hiding in the closet from some girl. And yeah... as you can imagine what happened after that."

"No thanks. I don't want to imagine that. But I see where you're coming from. When I first met Nash he hated me. I was bad costumer service, to him at least."

I turned my head back to see Taylor holding Shawn in the air as they shared a kiss. I cringed because I wanted a relationship. Sort of not really.

"You gay? Sorry out of nowhere. Just wondering man." Sammy blushed and I laughed and looked back at the sun rays in front of us. "Uh. Yeah. Yes. See the weirdo behind you?" I pointed at the fit bandana kid. "I dated him."

"Isn't it weird? You're like best friends with that other guy right? And you're cool with Taylor but you guys dated. They don't bother you?"

"Uh not as weird as attending your ex boyfriends wedding but I'm okay." I chuckled awkwardly, hands in my pockets.

"What are you saying?" Sammy furrowed his eyebrows. "You dated Nash too?"

All I did was nod.

"I'm sorry man. I mean you must be okay considering that you're attending it. Right? You're not going to manipulate me or-"

"Trust me. I'm fine. That's why I'm walking with you. I just, you're a good guy. Someone better than I was for him. Take care now okay. Now that you know everything. I'm gonna go. Unless you in too?" I pointed back at their vacation home and he followed.

-

Contemplating this house. Do I genuinely approve of Sammy? I mean I do he's a good guy but Nash...

I went back into the house and collided bodies with Nash. "Uh, oh. Hi." I smiled weakly. "Want to help make smoothies?" I nodded and agreed.

"So. How you liking the place? Vegas.. hmm yeah. Or this house?" Nash brought up a conversation. But I was certain that it was just to pass the time.

"Uhm. It's good. Nice. I like it. I was about to room with Shawn but Taylor said no and that I need to be more independent. I agree I suppose." I lightly chuckled, unamused. He just nodded and did some 'cliche' face.

It was sort of awkward, a little bit of okay. He was peeling a banana open and started chopping it vigorously. That scared me. It just made me think that he was angry at me. I just cut some apples. "Into the blender now?" I asked as we all chopped our fruits and had the juice inside already.

Nash grabbed out these really cool wine cups to put the drinks in. "So who wants one again?" I asked since there wasn't much cups out. "You, me, Shawn, Taylor, Carter, Sammy, and uhm, Nate."

"Well you need two more cups then." I mentioned. "Right. That's because two people out of seven get a cooler cup."

He went to a separate cabinet than earlier and grabbed these abstract crooked cups with glass straws. One labeled 'daddy' while the other, 'daddy's princess.'

I mentally gagged at the thought. "Cute cups huh?" he asked elbowing me in the rib. "Haha, yeah, something Andrew and I would do." I lied.

"Who's Andrew?" He laughed awkwardly.

"My boyfriend."

"Oh."

And with that Nash and I walked into the living room with the drinks.

"Guys. Tonight is my bachelors party. Where shall today take us you may ask?" Nash smiled happily, looking at Sammy. "By the way, his is later on today as well and they'll be doing their own thing. Awkwardly, we have to share the Jacks. They'll balance both."

Nash went on talking about clothing attire and the types of food here. Along with Sammy doing the same. I just sipped my drink every now and then, unimpressed.

By that time, the conversation was dismissed and everyone just relaxed and did whatever since it was seven. Not much you could really do, and Nash's event was at nine.

I went into my room but followed by a knock a few second later.

"Uh hey Sam." I said.

"I was wondering if you'd like to attend my party instead? Or maybe.. too. Like do what the Jacks are doing and come to both!" He smiled, taking a seat on my bed. "You're cool. Like, I feel closer to you than with Matthew or Taylor, whatever. Come to mine okay? Think about it man!" Sammy walked off closing my door.

Two bachelors parties?

I went on my way looking for the Jacks. "Uh haha hey. Can I commute with you guys tonight? Sam wanted me to go to his party and I hear you guys are going too."

"You're okay with it? Like you don't mind being around Sam."

"Not at all."

And it's final.

I went back to wear my cleanest outfit. It wasn't a tuxedo but I still wore a dress hirt with pokadots-- something basic from the forever 21 men's and leather jeans with bright vans. My hair was whiffed cutely. Nash use to like it that way.

I wondered why I got so snappy and told Nash I had a boyfriend. It just came out. Andrew was an old friend of mine and I can't believe I put Nash in such an uncomfortable situation by saying that.

But hey! I'm probably in the most uncomfortable situation. I dated Shawn, Matthew, and Nash and now they all have their new boyfriends! I'm even attending my ex's boyfriend's bachelors party.

Talk about uncomfortable.

Whatever. I walk down the stairs, seeing the guys who took the most in my heart. Shawn and Taylor matched with maroon jeans and a causal blue button up, different patterns. Matthew and Carter wore plain shirts with chains. Oh and Nash, wow him and I are wearing the same pokadot shirt. My god.

"Where are the Jacks?" I asked as I had several eyes on me.

Shawn slowly walked closer to me, letting go of Taylor's hand. "Woah. It's been a while since you've dressed up." I weakly smiled. Nash was the only one I've dressed up for.

"Yeah you look really nice." Matthew smiled. Carter went up to me and pat my back. "Autta boy. Go get laid tonight!" I slapped his shoulder playfully.

There were fast stomps coming down the stairs. "Fuck you!" One voice yelled. "Okay fine. Don't talk to me." The other.

"Ohhh...kay. Guys we should enjoy tonight. It's Nash's celebration." Shawn pleaded as he talked to Jack and Jack.

"Fine."

I opened the house door and escorted everybody out as they followed up into this limo Nash got. Nobody knew where he did want to take us or what he planned.

"Alright. It's time."
