Almost Is Never Enough

Chapter 44

*Meanwhile with Jay*

"Max, what's like the best type of picnic food? I'm drawing a blank because it would be the first time I'm planning one." Jay asked.

"Uh PB&J?" He suggested.

"Anything else? I can run out to the store and get food." Jay asked.

"Some coke...a cola, pretzels maybe, and her favorite dessert." Max said.

"Okay, sounds good. I'll run out later and get the stuff, but right now, I'm just gonna set up the backyard, make it look nice." Jay said.

"Okay Bird. Seev can help you with that." Max said.

Jay gave Max a quick smile before going to find Siva to help him. "Hey Seev, can you help me decorate the backyard?" Jay asked.

"Gotcha Bird." Siva said, grabbing a picnic blanket. "That spot has a great view."

"Great," Jay said, setting up the blanket. "Should I set up lights and stuff like that?"

"Not sure," Siva said. "Maybe you should just get your phone or iPod and play some soft music when she gets here. Do it while she's watching too."

"Small problem...I lost my phone again..." Jay said awkwardly.

Siva rolled his eyes. "Use mine."

"Thanks Seev," Jay said, taking his phone and hooking it up to the stereo outside.

"No problem mate," he said.

"You mind coming with me to the store to get some food for tonight?" Jay asked.

"Alright Bird," he said, grabbing his phone and heading out to the car with Jay.

*Meanwhile with you*

"You have to get that dress!" Nareesha said as you came out of the dressing room.

"Does it look good?" You asked.

"It looks amazing!" Kelsey said. "Jay won't be able to keep his hands off you."

"It'll look perfect with those heels," Nareesha said with a laugh.

You rolled your eyes and bought the dress. "Where to next?" You asked.

"How about Victoria's Secret?" Kelsey asked.

"Why not?" You said, winking.

"You could pick up something special for Jay," Nareesha said with a wink.

"Oh definitely." You smirked.

You all went into the store as Kelsey and Nareesha forced you to look at some lingerie for Jay. "Jay would love that," Kelsey said, pointing at some.

"You think so?" You asked.

"Well I wouldn't know, but it looks sexy," Kelsey said.

"Okay, I'll get it if you two pick something out for Tom and Siva," you said.

"Alright," they both said.

You all paid for your stuff and left the store. "Where now?" Kelsey asked.

"Froyo?" You asked.

"Let's go!" Nareesha said as you all went over to Sweet Frog. You got your favorite frozen yogurt and sat with Nareesha and Kelsey. "So are you gonna surprise Jay with that dress when we get home?" Nareesha asked.

"Maybe..." You said.

A fan then walked up to Kelsey and Nareesha. "Oh my god can I have your autographs?" The fan asked hopefully.

"Of course!" Kelsey and Nareesha said. You were trying to hide from her view. You went to the back of the place, hiding in the restroom.

"Was that Nath's girlfriend? Or ex girlfriend?" The fan asked Nareesha. Kelsey and Nareesha looked at each other, not knowing what to say because you hadn't told the fans yet.

"We all know they broke up. She cheated on poor Nath! Why the hell would she do that?" The fan continued.

"She didn't cheat on him!" Kelsey blurted out. Then realization sank in. She screwed up.

"What do you mean?" The fan asked.

"How about you listen to their interview with Ryan Seacrest tomorrow." Nareesha said, walking away.

"Okay, bye Nareesha! Bye Kelsey!" The fan said, happily walking away from them.

"That's gonna be everywhere," Nareesha said.

"Sorry," Kelsey mumbled. "I just couldn't let anyone say that about her. It's not her fault."

"It's fine Kels. Let's head home." Nareesha said, finding you and walking towards the car.

"You should change into that dress in the back, it'll definitely shock Jay," Kelsey said.

"I'll change when I get home so I can wear the heels," you said, smiling.

"Smart girl," Nareesha smiled. "Quickly run upstairs to change so Jay doesn't know you're home."

"Okay," you said, grinning, "Jay's gonna be so surprised."

"Definitely," Kelsey said.

Nareesha texted Jay, warning him that they were coming home soon.

Nareesha: Jay you might want to hurry cuz we're coming home soon.

Jay: Got it. Thanks Nareesha.

Nareesha: Dress nice. She's got a surprise for u

Jay: Oh god ;)

Nareesha shut off her phone as Kelsey continued to drive. When you finally got home, you ran to your room and got dressed. Nareesha and Kelsey rushed over to Jay. "Nicely done Jay. You look great." Kelsey said. He was wearing a nice light blue dress shirt and dress pants.

"She's gonna come downstairs any minute now, are you ready?" Nareesha asked.

"Yup." He said as you walked down the stairs. Jay's jaw dropped once he saw you. "Oh my god, love. You look beautiful." Jay said, not taking his eyes off of you.

"You don't look too bad yourself," you smirked.

"Come on, I've got a surprise for you," Jay said, taking your hand and leading you outside.

You smiled and followed him. You saw the picnic blanket and hugged him. "It's perfect."

"Well it is for the perfect girl," Jay said with a smile.

You sat down and noticed that both of you were a bit uncomfortable. "How about we get changed into something more comfy?" You suggested.

"As long as I can help you," Jay said, reaching to hold your hand.

"Okay," you said, smirking.

He scooped you up, carrying you bridal style up the stairs. He set you down and kissed you, unzipping your dress and pulling it off. You leaned up and kissed him, unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off of him.
