Party Don't Stop (#Wattys2016)

4. Petunia

Currently it's five o'clock and me and Kendra finished planning all the parties except Aidens. After that weird phone call I didn't want to call again. The only thing I'm hung up on about that call was the fact that BC. Booty Call, called me Petunia. My name has only five letters in it! I know my name sounds like Rose a little but Petunia has 7 letters! That's two more letters!

Not wanting to dwell on the thought anymore, I got up and headed towards Kendra's desk. I get to her desk but there is no sign of Kendra. I hear some talking in the front of the store so I head over there.

The first thing I see is Kendra's back and I can see an outline of a person in front of her. To get a better look, I walk up to Kendra to see the person she was talking to was Lance. They stop their conversation and Kendra smiles at me.

"Hey Rosie! You can finally meet Lance" Said a shy Kendra. Lance extends his hand and says a small hi.

"Hi it's nice to meet you, I've heard a lot of things about you" I say shaking his hand in the process.

"I hope their all good things" Lance laughs while looking at a blushing Kendra. Oh yes their all good things.

"Um anyway Rosie, me and Lance were just discussing about Aiden's party and Lance has some good ideas" Rosie said cautiously. I furrow my eyebrows on why Rosie would ask Lance for help.

"Oh are you a friend of Aidens?" I ask curiously. I never really met any of Aiden friends, not that I wanted to.

Lance just laughs and shakes his head, "I'm actually his older brother" Older brother? Now that he said that, I can see some of the same features as Aiden on him. He has the same light brown hair and the forest like eyes. I look at Kendra to see if she was surprised as me but she just has the face that says I-kinda-already-knew-that face.

"Aiden doesn't really talk about me much" Lance says reading the shock on my face. I guess they don't have a good brother system going on. I just nod my head as in agreeing with him.

Not wanting the awkward silence to continue, "I actually called your brother to discuss the plans but um he was...busy" I said not mentioning BC. He probably doesn't know about the booty calls.

"Let me guess, he had one of his booty calls picked the phone up" Lance said as if reading my mind. So he does know about them.

"Oh my gosh you call them booty calls too! I thought I was the only one" I joked. Realizing what I just said, " I mean it's not like I was thinking that when she picked up" I tried to cover for myself.

Kendra and Lance just laughed at my horrible lie. Now I was the laughing stock. Good job Rosie. Not.

》》》》

After talking for a little bit longer, Lance finally took his leave, not before giving a small kiss in Kendra's cheek. Kendra now had a tomato for a head and she was giggling like a girl on a sugar high. They started making these weird noises.

I rolled my eyes internally. They were acting like little kids here. Not wanting to disturb their little 'conversation', I headed back to my desk.

Right when I sat down my phone started ringing. I quickly picked it up without looking at the ID.

"Hello this is Rosie, how may I help you to have the best party ever?" I said my line.

"Oh your not Petunia" And it was Aiden and my name is Rosie!!!

"That would be me" I say not bothering to say that 'Petunia' doesn't exist.

"I thought that Pet-"

"IT'S ROSIE FOR PETES SAKE!!" I yell at the phone. This stupid Petunia is getting out of hand.

"Why are you yelling at a person you never met?!" Aiden said with a little anger.

"What do you mean never met? Aiden its me Rosie, the girl you tortured in high school" I say as thoughts about high school come in mind.

"Rosie Potter? Theee Rosie Potters that I pulled pranks on?" Questioned Aiden holding out the e on the.

"Yes, yes it is" I sigh. Watch as he starts talking crap about me.

"How are you?! It's been awhile" Hold up, did Aiden just say that or did some alien take over his body and just wanted to ask how I was doing. "I'm doing... Fine?" I say with hesitation.

"Oh that's good, that's good so um about earlier, Kaitlyn wasn't supposed to know about the party but it's not your fault don't worry" Aiden clarified. What is going on here, am I dreaming? He used the words 'not your fault' and 'don't worry' in the same sentence.

"Are you feeling alright Aiden?" I'm sorry I just had to ask the question. This was so not like Aiden. Maybe Kendra was right, some people do change for the better.

"Yes why?" asked a curious Aiden.

"Oh no nothing I was just asking because your being nice to me" I said emphasizing nice and me.

All I hear is a laugh, "And is there a problem with that, Petunia?" Aiden joked. There ladies and gentleman is the real Aiden and I think I prefer this one. What are you thinking stupid! You shouldn't prefer anyone of them, their both Aiden! That was my mind trying to knock some sense in me.

"There is no problem at all but it's just that it's weird for you to be nice to me since you weren't really nice to me in high school and my name is Rosie for the last time" I say the last part slowly so his pea sized brain will understand.

"Well we aren't in high school anymore Petunia so I thought we'd make this call mature" I just laughed at that comment. Mature.

"Really, I'm the most mature one here and for the last time get it in your pea sized head, MY NAME IS ROSIE!!" I yell a bit at the end to make myself clear.

"How do you ever except to make new friends with that attitude now?" Said a probably smirking Aiden. Attitude? What attitude? I do NOT have an attitude like that stupid piece of poop they call Aiden.

Okay that was lie but Aiden doesn't need to know that. "Okay listen here you cocky bastard, you want to have a mature talk then let's have one" I finish with a huff at the end. I take out a note pad and pen, "How many people you plan on inviting?" I say as I wait for his answer.

"Around 100 people" He says thoughtfully. Of course he has a lot friends. I quickly write it down and ask another question.

After what felt like 20 question, which it wasn't, I had all the info that I needed. I was happy that the rest of the conversation went well without us fighting like squirrels on drugs.

"Okay that's all I need, thanks for your time" I say maturely. Before I could end the call, Aiden called out my name.

"Hey it was good talking to you, talk to you next time. Petunia" Aiden ended the call before I could correct him. Again.

It was good talking to him though. It's official, I'm going mad. Even the squirrels on drugs are not as crazy like me.
