Road trip ?

Swiss or Colby

I turn up at M&Ms door. Before my knuckles can even knock on the wood, it's whacked wide open and I'm enveloped in a pair of large muscular arms. Max's familiar scent floods my nose. "You asshole!" I hear Monique yell from behind max, who shields me.

"Monique leave her alone!" He says before letting me go "Jade sweetheart, are you okay?" He says looking me over for any sign of injury. I pull him back in for a hug laughing. "I'm fine Maxie" I say entering, Max's arm is still slung across my shoulder protectively.

Monique struts over and pushes him off me "Jade I'm sorry for yelling I was worried, what happened? After you screamed we just heard some guys voice then yours then i think you're phone went dead and then we thought you did too" she mumbles into my neck as hugs gigs me tightly.
I hug her back even tighter before we both let go and the three of us ended up sitting cross legged on the floor as I explain to them what had happened.

"Ooohh he sounds HOT" Monique says nudging me "maybe you can give me his number?" She said suggestively, ignoring the cold stares her brother was shooting at her.
I chuckled and nodded "maybe, now, where's my platter?" I inquired resting my chin on my hand. Max flings his head back groaning loudly "who cares about the platter I ordered pizza, that's way better!" Me and Monique roll our eyes and she extends her hand to me, I grab it she pulls me up.

I glance back at max and he winks at me "I'll save you a slice Jadey"
I chuckle and follow my friend into the kitchen.

I sit down at the counter resting my elbows in the cold marble top. Monique's a real wiz in the kitchen so I decide to leave her too it, she pulls out a large wooden plate and a hot pink cutting board. She washes and cuts up some strawberries, watermelon, oranges and I think it's called rock melon? She pulls out some crackers then bends over at the fridge, she cocks her head towards me "Swiss or Colby?" She asks, referring to cheese. I tap my nails against the countertop "ummm Colby" I said a little unsurely, I'm not a foodie nor do I know much about it, although I love food and Colby is the one type I've had out of the pair.

After like two minutes she's done and my mouth is watering. I hear the doorbell ring and I run to get it pushing max out of the way, basically tackling him to the ground.

I open the door my chest heaving as I breath heavily.
"Hiya!" I say chirpily before looking up and meeting the yellow green eyes of the delivery guy, who was quite cute. He grins back at me and leans against the doorframe "did you order one large pepperoni pizza and a small half Hawaiian half cheesy pizza; with a side of chicken pieces and fries?" He says listing off all the food max ordered. I bite my lip and turn my head around "MAX?" I yell down the hallway, but I look down to see him still lying on the ground where I shoved him, I giggle as he raises his head "yeah that's my order" he confirms. I shake my head and turn to the guy "you heard the man" I say laughing as he hands over the food, Max leans over and hands him the money "thanks man" he says closing the door and taking the food out of my arms "nope, none for you Jade" he says walking off leaving me there, arms still out.

Me and Moni finished our platter within a minute, Max backtracked on his original statement, turns out he'd ordered the small half Hawaiian half cheesy pizza for me. He wouldn't let Monique have anything though. Mmmmm I thought as I bite into the cheesy warm slice, moaning. "Okay max you where right pizza was a good idea" I say, but I continue before he can say anything "but Monique, the fruit and cheese and crackers oh my they where better" Monique smirks at max and reached over to grab a slice, he whacks her hand.
"None for you" he hisses.
but I passed her some under the coffee table.

Max caught me passing her a piece of chicken, the second it left my hands he tackled me to the ground both of us rolling around as Monique fell to the ground in laughter. "You betrayed me!" He yelled as I shoved him off me. Monique giggled and whispered in my ear "if he wasn't my brother and you weren't like my best friend I'd want you to date"
I snorted loudly and max looked over his eyebrows raised "what did she say?" He whines "please tell me"
Me and Monique shake our heads and she puts her arm around me; we look at each other and giggle like little kids.

Me and Monique had been friends forever, but I'd been friends with Max first. The first time I went to his house Monique and I clicked and he was the third wheel, but he didn't mind.

We had a pretty small group, it consisted of myself, Monique, Max, Hannah, Ellen, Luke, Tom and occasionally Alex. I mean I talked to lots of different people and hung out with them but those guys where my friends, if you know what I mean?

Hannah is tall, with dark hair and hazel eyes, she's a little intimidating but hilarious. Ellen has blonde hair with some light brown streaks, she's absolutely gorgeous in every way. Luke is short, not shorter then me but short. Luke has broad shoulders and a very muscly body; he has longish black hair and blue eyes. Tom has curly golden brown hair, glasses and grey eyes with little green specks he's not extremely muscular but he's built. Alex, well, he's something else. He's not super tall but he's a head taller than me. He has a narrow build but he's muscular and built in all the right places. He has light  stubble, and messy brown hair, he looks like a Greek god.

Max grabs both my hands in his, mine look so tiny grasped in his, and pulls me up. Monique stands up as well. We all grab the dishes and empty boxes and head to the kitchen. 

I turn on the tap and wait for it to heat up. Moni and Max do have a dish washer but it's tradition for us to always do the dishes together, which I know is weird. Max plugs his phone into a speaker and some Christmas songs begin to fill the room.

Monique's tiny little hips start swaying as she hands me the soap, which I pour into the hot water as I begin scrubbing the dishes, just a few plates and cups and the cutting board and all that. Monique's on drying, Max, well it looks like he's on entertaining.

"I don't want a lot for christmasss, there is just one thing I nnnneeeeeedd" he screams. Me and Monique don't look at him, just laugh and keep washing. That is, until I feel two hands grasp my waist, spinning me around to face him. His hands move from my waist to my hands as he begins spinning me around. I giggle uncontrollably and attempt to pull my hands away from his, moving them to his chest and trying to push him away. He places one hand on my waist and the other still holding onto my other hand as he begins swaying back and forth the the music. "Santa Claus can't make me happy with a toy on Christmas daayyy" he sings into my ear, terribly off tune. Monique is loosing it, she has her phone out recording my struggle against her brother giggling uncontrollably.

"Max!!! We need to do the dishes!" I whine still trying to pull out of his grasp.
He smirks and let's go off me, which sends me stumbling backwards into Monique, who catches me.
"Max! You're just a five year old" She says with a grunt as I land in her arms. She sends him a look and he raises his arms in surrender. I laugh and he grins at me, Monique and I go back to washing the dishes, our head bopping to the music as we sing, still giggling.
