Chapter 9: Open house

  "Where you going?" Greyson asked.
"Get my make up." I crawled out of bed and opened the other apartment door. I Opened it carefully so I would get yelled at like a 16 year old who got drunk and never came home.
"Brin." Or like a 23 year old who is in a relationship who's brothers don't approve of. Yeah, like that. 😒😑
"Shh." I said.
"Kendall!" Jake yelled. I ran into my room.
"Where were you last night?" Jake leaned on my door frame.
"Sorry mom I went out."
"Since you honey don't have a mother I am your mother." I grabbed my make up bag and a hoodie.
"How was the party?" He asked.
"It was awesome. Greyson and I skinny dipped."
"Did you really?" He broke character.
"I wish. Just to piss you guys off." I went in the kitchen.
"Brin!" Kendall yelled.
"Bye." I shut the door.

  I stood in the mirror.
"Which one?" I asked Greyson on my lipstick.
"These are the same shade."
"Not that's strawberry bloom and this is cherry pair." I say with a straight face. He just laughed.
"What?"
"Fuck it go without make up."
"No." I wined.
"You put make up on and you're a 10. You take your make up off and you are still a 10." I laughed.
"You got that from tumblr."
"No it didnt."
"Yeah you did because I posted it." He I looked away.
"That's what I thought."

We got to the fire station and got out of the car.
"No ones here." Greyson said.
"Starts at noon." Jake says.
"Oh." We walked into the station.
"Brin!"
"Captain." I say.
"Oh Kendall and Jake it's so good to see you. Fin's washing the rig."
"Thanks." I smiled and we walked into the back. A dog came running.
"Puddle!" I petted him.
"Puddle?" Greyson asked.
"Yup."
"Hey buddy." Greyson pet him.
"You're early." Fin says.
"Came to help." Kendall said.
"Why don't you and Kendall get the hotdogs going?"
"K." Jake and Kendall went inside.
"What can we do?" Greyson asked.
"I'm sure you're sick of them breathing down your back. Do whatever make out I don't care."
"Finnegan." I mouthed. He laughed.
"Watch out for that puddle." He says. Fin just laughed.
"See what I did there?" Greyson laughed too.
"Shut up." Greyson and I went to the hall of fame.
"Was your dad a firefighter?" He asked.
"Yeah it's in our blood."
"Why didn't Jake or Kendall join the force?"
"It wasn't right for them."
"What about you?"
"I tried it and it wasn't for me either. But it's something he holds very close I his heart."
"You did it?"
"For a year. It's really hard."
"That's incredible."
"That's my grandpa, my uncle and my great grandpa." I pointed.
"They are brave men."
"They are. What about you? Siblings?"
"I have a little brother who's 18. He lives in L.A with my parents."
"Aw."
"Yeah he's graduating. Shit."
"Are you gonna miss it?"
"I don't know. I'll call later."
"I don't want you to miss it."
"It'll be ok." We walked around the building.
"He did say we could make out."
"You try to me romantic but it's just not working."
"I am romantic you are not."
"Because grew up with Emit." We laughed.
"What is Emit's move?"
"Straight forward. He-" he kissed me.
"Like that?"
"Yeah." I smiled. I hadn't even noticed we were right by the grill. Right by the same exact grill that Kendall and Jake were cooking hotdogs.
"Stop drop and roll Greyson. You have 3 seconds to run." Kendall says.
"Let's not." I say but I couldn't even finish the sentence without Kendall chasing Greyson around with a spatula.
"Move and I'll hurt you." I told Jake. He gave me the I'm about to run look.
"Jacob."
"Someone's got to cook the hotdogs right?"
"Right." I turned my back for 3 fucking seconds and he's already running.
"Are you kidding me right now?!"

"I didn't hurt her!" Greyson was cornered and Kendall had a fire hose. This wasn't a great situation but neither was my love life.
"Really?" Fin says.
"He kissed B."
"Yeah so? You heard the bed frame against the wall at night and don't say anything."
"Finnegan! Oh my god was that necessary!?" I ask.
"Come on man." Greyson says.
"I'm trying to save you." Fin says.
"Boys!" Captain yelled. Kendall threw the hose at Fin.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing ma." Yeah captain was our other mom. She was more Ma and Scarlett was more mommy.
"Kendall put the hose away."
"Yes ma'am."
"Thank you." I say.
"We have people coming in 10 minutes let's get those hotdogs done."

Summerton was a small town but so many people show up every year. Kendall handed out hotdogs and Jake did snow cones. Fin did relays with the fire gear.
"I didn't know Summerton was so big." Greyson says.
"It's not. But this always seems to be the biggest attraction."
"This is really cool." His phone rang.
"Hello?"
"One sec. B I gotta take this."
"You're good." I walked around a bit.
"B you need to change." Fin says.
"Right." Every year they did a dramatization of a car wreck and I'm the victim in trouble.

I got in the car.
"Close your eyes. You know the drill." A fireman said.
"I'm ready."
"Perfect."
"This isn't real. Brin here is wearing make up and is totally fine. She In fact used to be a firefighter. We hope you have a fun time lets get his going." I saw Greyson was still on the phone from a distance. I sat in the beat up car as they used the jaws of life to get me out. After 10 minutes they got me out.
"Thank you." He said as I walked away.
"Very welcome." I walked to Greyson and Jake.
"I didn't know I what was going on I seriously thought you were in trouble."
"I'm fine. It's make up." Well you could say the Summerton fire house 96 open house was a huge success but that would be an understatement.

I snuck out of the apartment and went to Greyson's.
"Damn!" He yelled when I walked in.
"What?"
"You still have your make up on you scared the living shit out of me." I was laughing.
"It's a pain in the ass to get off."
"You really scared me." He walked over.
"I just walked through the door."
"No when I saw you in the car. I really thought you were hurt."
"I'm a really good actress."
"Let's get the grinch off your face."
"Ok." I smiled and we went in the bathroom. I got on the counter and sat criss cross.
"Ok a little soap and water." He got a rag out.
"No this takes spirit gum remover." I handed him a bottle.
"He fuck is this?"
"It's for SE make up."
"You speak another language."
"It's just remover."
"I don't even know what you called it."
"Spirit."
"Yeah."
"Gum."
"Ugh huh."
"Remover."
"What?"
"Greyson! It's not that hard. Screw your brain on."
"Ouch." He put a hand in his chest.
"Ouch." I mimicked him.
"You are mean."
"I know. But only a little." I kissed him.
"Now you want to kiss?"
"I just not a very pda person."
"Doors are closed my lady."
"Really?"
"Yeah." He nodded. His lips met mine again.
"Your face is gonna look like a pint pallet."
"I don't know what that is but I don't care."
"You are ridiculous."
"You are beautiful." He pecked my lips.
"You screamed when I walked in."
"No I yelled: damn! I didn't scream."
"Same thing."
"No." He shook his head.
"Not at all."
