In Love With You

In Love With You [Chapter Two]

Brooklyn could think of better things than a party. She was just no fan of them for a reason. While everyone seemed to get hyped up when there was the prospect of going out or just celebrating for whatever reason in the bar of their residence, she was usually not all too excited about that.

Sometimes though even she joined them. She wasn't one who locked herself at home and didn't like to go out either. She was interested in other things, simple like that. Jazz had once said that she believed she was just used to other activities from where she had grown up, which could indeed be another explanation.

This time though there had been no way to contradict. After another night of torturing herself with studying, she really needed some time off. Going out with her closest friends definitely would distract her.

But she also knew that she couldn't go back up into the apartment she and Jazz shared before it was at least far after midnight. So she had decided to catch up on some sleep and had lain down in the evening.

Brooklyn didn't know how long she had been sleeping as she was woken up by her bedroom door being pushed open and the curtains being pushed aside.

"Good evening, sleeping beauty," Jazz shouted, in her usual active voice. "Are you planning on sleeping yourself through the party?"

Brooklyn groaned, hiding her face in her pillow although the expected sunshine wasn't even blinding her this time. "What are you saying, it can't be that late yet," she said into the pillow.

Jazz sighed. "It is. It's six and they'll start at eight. Means two more hours to get dressed up and I don't want to waste one of those two hours with dragging you out of your bed. So get up yourself please."

With another groan, Brooklyn flipped onto her bed. She watched how Jazz ripped her closet open and started to look through her clothes. "Why do you even want to dress up? Your boyfriend loves you in everything."

Jazz chuckled. "I don't dress up for Don, I'm doing it for myself. A party is even more fun when you can choose some nice clothes and all." She paused. "And of course it's also nice to present yourself to your boyfriend and then have him wait all night long until he can do anything with you."

Brooklyn rolled her eyes playfully, couldn't help but chuckle though. "At least we have thick walls."

"We'll need them when you and Theo finally get together," Jazz replied with a wink.

Despite herself, Brooklyn's face turned red immediately. "Sometimes I feel like kids with what we're saying," she said.

Jazz laughed. "I guess kids wouldn't talk about such a topic. Now get out of your bed finally."

"Only if you tell me what you're doing in my closet," she replied, indeed freeing herself of her blanket though to get up.

"I'm looking for what you could wear," Jazz answered.

"And why can't I do that myself?" Brooklyn wanted to know.

"Because even though the both of us are two years behind with fashion, I still won't let you run around in your normal jeans and a t-shirt," her friend stated.

"I wasn't running around like that earlier either." Brooklyn joined her at the closet. "Why do you even care?"

Jazz stopped turning to her friend and resting her hands on her hips. "You want to hear the honest reason? Because you're driving em crazy with being so stubborn and as I can't make you make the first step, I'm trying to make Theo do it. He's too nice to actually see when a girl is in love with him as much as he is in love with her, so I'll have to tease him until he'll make the first step, even with the risk of you turning him down."
