I finally woke up and looked at my clock. Shit! I had, very stupidly said I would get everyone to the tour meeting that was idiotically scheduled for today at noon. It was already 10:39 and I know that whomever had stayed at my house last night was not going to be in great shape to go to a meeting in just over an hour.

I roll over and kiss Avi lightly, whispering that he needs to get up. He grumbles and rolls away from me.

“I hate to say this, but you’re adorable when you’re half asleep. Too bad you have to get up,” I giggle.

“Can’t I be adorable with my eyes closed, laying down?” Avi mumbles.

“Nope.” I steal the blankets and Avi gets up grudgingly. I wrap my arms around his neck. “Happy new year.” I whisper and kiss him.

When we break apart he laughs, “A very happy new year indeed.” I drag him with me to the kitchen, passing Livvie’s open door. I glance inside and see her and Scott cuddled up together. As cute as it is, I am still not too happy about it.

Mitch is asleep on our couch, obviously too drunk last night to drive home. Now, I just need a plan of attack for getting people up without getting smacked. I try the standard one for getting all us kids up the first day of school, “HEY! GET YOUR SLEEPY ASSES UP!” all it gets me is angry grumbling from Mitch. Next, I pull out the wakeup call that was Livvie’s, Mel’s and my personal brand of hell for an entire summer. If Liv has her usual reaction, I won’t need to do anything else. I walk into her room and half sing “Wakey, wakey, workcamper!” again, all I get is angry grumbling. I was kinda hoping she would start yelling “Shut up you narcissistic bitch, whoever you are!” like usual. It’s time to bring out the big guns.

There is one sure way to get Mel and Livvie up and moving within three minutes without fail, no matter how bad they are feeling. I walk back into her room. I lean down kinda close to her ear and start singing What Is This Feeling? from Wicked. Almost immediately Livvie is singing with me as Elphaba. By the time Mel would have come in as the Shiz students, Scott is awake and does it with us. Avi laughs at Livvie and I’s terrible acting. Mitch is finally up by the end of the song.

“Why’d you wake us up again?” Mitch sasses.

“Because Ben, for some reason, thought that today would be the perfect day to have a tour meeting. Which in in an hour, so Mister Queen, you need to go get a shower because you reek of vodka. Mel’s shower is that way. She went to hang out with some of her friends after the party. Scott, you also reek of vodka, but not quite as bad. Hit the shower, sir.” After they leave, I look at Avi he takes the hint and heads for my bathroom.

“So, we’re gonna make food aren’t we?” Livvie asks.

“Yeah, I guess we’ll be good girlfriends/friends and make breakfast. I know we have stuff to make pancakes and bacon. So let’s get going, I know that Avi could eat everything in the kitchen if we let him, all alone. Now, let’s factor in Scott eats enough for a giant, which he practically is, being nearly eight feet tall, and Mitch, you and I have to eat to. That’s a lot of food.” I babble as we mix and pour and flip the pancakes and set the bacon on to fry.

“God, you sound like Mom, A. Like when we were little and she would be cooking for all of us and some of Dad’s friends. She would talk just like that with anyone else in the kitchen. So usually me and one of the guys’ wives. And they would laugh over how much the men ate and stuff like that. It was simple girl time to joke about the boys.” Livvie says.

“Well, with these boys, there’s always plenty to joke about. Like Scott and Mitch at midnight last night. Do you remember what happened?”

“No, you know that alcohol erases my memory. What happened last night?” she asks, wide eyed.

“So, you and Scott had your New Year’s kiss and when y’all were done, Mitch walked up and kissed Scott like he wanted to eat his face. Scott was really drunk and he kissed back, not as vigorously, but still. Then you, having had a few too many shots, yelled that you knew Mitch wanted him. And then you asked if he agreed that Scott’s a good kisser. It was great to watch. I think someone got it on video. I’ll have to check Mel’s camera.” I tell her, laughing.

“Oh, god. Did I really do that?” Livvie and I turn around to see Mitch standing in the kitchen door way. Livvie and I look at each other and burst out laughing.

“What’s so funny guys?” Avi asks, walking in as well.

“Mitch and my boyfriend’s make-out yesterday.” Livvie gasps between fits of giggles.

“You’re telling me that wasn’t a seriously fucked up dream?” Scott asks from the doorway.

“Nope! At least now we can tell your fans that there was definitely a Scomiche kiss and there were witnesses. And it was caught on camera.” I laugh.

We sit down once all of us catch our breath and the food was on the table. About five minutes later the 30 pancakes and pound and a half of bacon are gone. God, those boy eat fast. Livvie and I send them on their way and set to work cleaning up.

“Oh, I keep meaning to ask. How bad was Mom when she was talking to Scott?” Livvie asks, honestly worried.

“Not too bad. When she saw that Scott was exceptionally uncomfortable, she backed off a bit. Honestly, one of her more gentle talks, all things considered.” I answer.

“Did she mention…you know?”

“No, she didn’t. But I still think you need to tell Scott about them.”

“I don’t think I’m ready to tell anyone about them, especially not Scott. What would he think? He’ll know that his sweet innocent little girlfriend is used goods. I don’t like to think about them, well, really I don’t like to think about her, but I despise him.” Livvie whispers.

A/N: Who/what is Livvie hiding from Scott? Let me know who these secret people are and why Livvie is hiding them. I want to see what y'all think. Love y'all.
