Let's just go... (One Direction)

Surprise surprise

I don’t think about them for a couple days. It’s July 1st, tomorrow starts all the annual shenanigans at the Jameson compound. They’re just as bad as the Augusts! The compound is beachfront property with a pool as well. But at least the boat will be out this year. Jake came home today, but Cara won’t be coming until the 6th. They’re both staying until late night of the 8th. Since Jake came home, him and Molly have been planning something. I don’t know what just yet, but I know it’s something against me. I’ll just have to wait and see. The 2nd was comprised of us volunteering at the local carnival. And the 3rd was just lounging around waiting for the fireworks across the harbor.

The 4th is the fun day. It’s primarily just drinking, eating, and sunning. My parents came down to visit yesterday and left this morning, apparently they’re too popular. Sammy is coming down tomorrow morning with Kristen. So the 4th is just Molls, Jake, and I doing the usual shenanigans. Molly and I even bust out our epic bathing suits. Molls’ suit is a deep blue with red strings that makes her look like she has boobs and a fantastic ass. Mine is obnoxious and I love it. It’s actually an endorsement for Budweiser. Both icons are on my top and there’s a Budweiser stamp on my ass. It’s red, white, and blue. How do you go wrong with that?

I’m lying in a chair by the pool drinking a beer when I hear, “OI! Where’s she at?! I can’t believe she didn’t invite us again!”

I actually fall out of my chair. I must’ve imagined that. Did I drink too much? Too much sun? I put on my sunglasses and look across the pool, nope, didn’t imagine that voice. There they are. Four Europeans here to celebrate an American holiday. I watch as Jake runs over to give them all a hug. Next is Molly, and she lingers on Niall a bit longer than is the norm. His face is so adorable; he can’t help but stare at Molls. I mean isn’t he used to models all around him? She’s definitely model worthy. I see Louis and Harry scan the crowd until both their eyes lock onto mine. 

“SILVARA! THERE YOU ARE! GET HERE NOW!” yells Louis.

I get up and walk over to them. Thank god I threw a T-shirt on me that would’ve been embarrassing. 

“Hi guys,” I say after hugging them all, “what are you doing here?”

“Oh, Jake and Molly invited us here. They felt bad that we were going to be in the spotlight in NY,” explains Zayn.

“And if you can show us a great time like paintball, we just knew we had to attend,” says Harry.

I avoid eye contact with Harry. I don’t know why. 

“Oh that’s great! It’ll be fun! You’ll see how us Americans party!” I exclaim.

“Bring it on Duchess,” Louis says.

It’s already 1300, so we eat and drink. Three of Jake’s brothers (Kevin, Nick, and Joe) were stationed in Newport, while the other was stationed in Japan. The three were starting a volleyball game and called me over. All three are over 6’4” and are great at the sport. But I still kill them each time. I accept, who turns down a challenge? Not me. 

The boys decide to join, and I’ve taught Molly enough for her to be brilliant at the back row. The teams are Kevin, Nick, Louis, Liam, and myself vs. Jake, Molly, Zayn, Harry, Niall, and Joe (with one rotating in). We start out just getting a feel for our team dynamics, and then we go for blood. I manage to spike it right into Niall’s face, only a slight bloody nose. Joe gets be back. Molly is constantly saving Niall, he even managed to hit the ball at the pole to hit him back in the face. Just wow. But I could tell he loved it. Molly was his personal coach. Jake and I were going for blood as usual. More Louis got hit in the face for one meant for me. Poor guy. Liam wasn’t too bad but he couldn’t handle Kevin and I teaming up. We always ran smooth. By the end of the game Niall had 3 bloody noses. I only had one and it was the second to last play, which led to blood spraying all over my shirt. After winning, Kevin picked me up and ran to the beach, ugh bastard.
