Almost Is Never Enough

Chapter 53

You met everyone downstairs and noticed that Nathan was staring at you. "You alright Nath?" You asked, sitting next to him.

"Yeah..." He said, looking away.

"Okay, you want a beer?" You asked him, going over to the fridge.

"You shouldn't have to ask," he said, laughing.

You laughed and handed one to him and Jay. You laid down on the couch with your feet on Nath's lap and your head on Jay's. Siva got up and left the room, winking at you and Jay before he left. He was going to call Stevie again.

"What was that about?" Nathan asked.

"Nothing," you both said coolly.

Nath looked at you suspiciously. He turned away, obviously pissed that he was left out again. You reached for his hand and squeezed it gently. "Nathan, really. It's nothing," you said reassuringly.

"Alright," he said doubtfully.

Siva came back into the room a little later. "What do you all want to do?" He asked.

"Movie?" Nareesha suggested.

"Nothing too emotional, okay?" Max said.

"Alright," Siva said, picking out a movie.

"Baby," you muttered.

"Like its my fault you never cry during movies," Max said.

Siva was looking for a movie to watch while you were talking with Jay about the surprise. "I think he'll love it, he's his favorite singer ever," Jay whispered.

"I know I'm so excited! Maybe we could get them to sing a song together?" You whispered.

"I think that'd be amazing. He knows all of his songs by heart," Jay whispered.

You grinned broadly. "I'm so excited!"

"You're excited to see Mr. Wonder?" Jay whispered with a wink.

You laughed at him. "I'm more excited to see the smile on Mr. Sykes' face," you whispered.

"Alright, just so Max doesn't cry let's do a comedy." Siva said.

"The Angover?" Nathan suggested. You laughed at his accent.

"I was thinking 21 Jump Street," Siva said.

"Alright," Nathan said, as everyone agreed.

Siva put in the movie and it started playing. Everyone instantly laughed because of the cops shooting their guns in the air. As the movie continued your stomach started to hurt from laughing too much. The cops were on drugs and saw the teacher as a cat. Nathan was laughing as well, but every time he looked over at you his laughter died down a bit. You gave him a cheeky smile and held his hand. He lightened up and continued to watch the movie. Jay had to use the bathroom from laughing so hard and excused himself.

"What are ya doing in there, Jay? Are you trying to throw up your drugs?" Tom yelled over, causing everyone to laugh a little.

"Do you want me to piss on you?" Jay yelled back.

You laughed so hard you rolled onto Nathan's lap. Jay came back and sat next to you, a slight blush on his face. You were still lying on Nathan's lap when he came back. You blushed before sitting up, looking at Nath quickly. He bit his lip and looked back over at the movie.

By now one of the cops were in a classroom and drew the number four over the whiteboard. As soon as he yelled, 'Fuck you science!' Everyone was absolutely dying. It was Nath's turn to roll onto your lap from laughing. You all settled down as the movie continued.

You were playing with Nathan's hair, screwing it up a bit. "Oi! Not the hair!" He said, grinning.

"Why not? Afraid it won't look good for pictures?" You said with a laugh.

Everyone laughed at that and Jay gave you an odd look. You rolled your eyes again, continuing to play with his hair as the movie was almost over. When they caught the guy instead of shooting him in the leg, they shot his dick off. Tom then rolled on the ground from laughing so hard. Everyone couldn't stop until the movie was finally over. When it was over everyone stood up, still laughing.

"Max, I think you ended up crying anyways," Siva said with a laugh. Max wiped a tear away and nodded.

Jay hugged you randomly. "What's with the hug?" You asked jokingly.

"I don't know. It's random hug today!" He proclaimed, hugging Siva.

"You're so weird, Bird," Siva said.

"Let's all get in on it then!" Max said, hugging Tom.

"Oh fine," Tom said, giving Max a hug back.

"Hug party!" Kelsey yelled, hugging Nareesha.

Nathan then got off of your lap and hugged you. You hugged him back, laughing slightly. He didn't let go of you, but had to when Max tapped his shoulder. "It's Maxxie's turn!" He said childishly.

You rolled your eyes. "Why would I want to hug you, Max?" You asked.

"'Cause I'm your dad that's why!" Max said.

"Would my dad send everyone my sex tape?" You said, laughing.

"Maybe..." He said with a laugh.

"Oh shut up," you said, hugging him.

Siva came over and hugged you. He then whispered, "Stevie's coming over tomorrow night at six."

"Okay," you whispered back.

As soon as the hug party was over you all went into the kitchen for a couple drinks. You grabbed a coke and sat in Jay's lap. He wrapped his arms around your back, putting his head in the crook of your shoulder. "Hey Nath," you said, "I've got a coke...ca cola."

"I got one too, cheers!" He said as he raised his can. You clinked cans with him and laughed.

You both took a sip as Tom, Kelsey, and Max were taking shots. "You're all getting drunk?" You asked.

Max shrugged. "Why not?"

You shook your head at him. "WE SHOULD PLAY TRUTH OR DARE!" Max yelled.

"Max, you're intoxicated. I don't know how well that's gonna go over," Nareesha said with a laugh.

"Please!" He begged.

You all groaned. "Fine..." You said, getting off of Jay's lap.
