Chapter five

Maire's P.O.V

I finish talking to Jerry and the talk went amazing. I look around the room and I don't see Luke anywhere. I didn't even realize that he left. I look around the kitchen and see Sarah and Ryan talking really close together. Great, another one of her prospects. I decide to leave it alone and look outside. I see Luke sitting by the pool with some people that I don't recognize. So I grab and a Strongbow and head outside. "Hey Luke. You get bored listening to me talk?" I say with a laugh. He looks up at me and then pulls me close. "Yeah, just a little bit." With a smirk on his face. Then grabs me and throws me in the pool where Chelsea was still skinny dipping.

I was so shocked by this action that I didn't even process where I was until I swam to the top. "What the hell Luke! That wasn't very nice." I say with a pout. He laughs and lends me a hand to help me out. I take this opportunity and yank his arm towards me which causes him to loose his balance and he ends up right beside me in the pool. "Ha! That's what you get asshole!" I say through my fits of laughter. "Ha ha! You're going to have to do better then that!" He yells back. And proceeds to playfully dunk me under water. Everyone takes this opportunity to jump in the pool. Chelsea being her is demanding that everyone has to be naked to be in here. Some start taking their clothes off but most of them didn't, including me.

We all get out a few at a time. Luke and I get out when our hands get all prunny. He lead me upstairs and throws me a dry shirt and some basketball shorts. I shyly take them and say thank you and then proceed to the bathroom to towel dry my hair and change clothes. While I was in there it gave my a chance to think about how crazy awesome this night is. I would have never thought that I would be at a celebrity party, much less in Luke's bathroom! When I emerged from the bathroom mostly dry Luke had changed into sweat pants and a white t-shirt. I'm not gonna lie I check him out a little bit. He smirks "Those look good on you." He says as he grabs onto the way too big basketball shorts. I push him away playfully "Shut up!" Both laughing we head back downstairs where it was mostly cleared out. But of course Chelsea was still here both with her clothes back on thankfully.

 "Let's drink more! I'm making margaritas. And as the rule goes you always have to have a drink in your hand at all times." She shouts to everyone. She starts pouring all the ingredients in this very fancy machine. Once the ice is blended together she hands me and Luke cups and we do a cheers. I take a sip and I have to say that it's mostly tequila. It's like a splash of margarita mix and the rest is just tequila. But it does taste awesome.I finish my drink and start on another Strongbow. I love hard cider. I wish that I lived in Ireland so that I could get this shit on tap. I turn to Luke and think to myself that he is such a great friend. I know that we could never be a couple. Just for the fact that he is a player and I don't like playing games. I more of a serious relationship kind of girl.

After a few hours pass by and meeting more photographers. Sarah got to meet some agents that are willing to give her some jobs to be one of their models. By the end of the night Chelsea was passed out in a lawn chair outside 50 Cent was upstairs in one of the many spare bedrooms passed out with some super model I have never heard of and just Sarah, Luke, Ryan, Jake and Mike are the only ones left. So we head down stairs to their 'play room' as they call it. And man is it awesome! They have ping pong tables, pool tables, a fully loaded bar with beer on tap! In the room off to the right of the stairway they have a theater with a concession stand and a wall filled with every movie I could think of and then off to the left of the stairs they have a freaking bowling alley!

I could live down here! The bar area has more of a pub feel to it especially with the wall decor and pool tables. So we all hung out here and played pool and just chilled. When I start to feel bored I wander into the theater and start looking at movies. I'm not too good at pool so it kind of bores me to play or watch people play. But movies, I could watch them all day. I sense someone behind me while I scan the C's, I glance behind me and see Luke. He has a weird smirk on his face.

"I still haven't forgiven you for throwing me in the pool, by the way." I say with my face turned away from him and looking back at the movies. I didn't want him to see the smile playing on my lips. "Oh." He said thrown off guard like he had totally forgotten that he did that, even though I'm still in his clothes. "Yep, so I guess you need to make it up to me." I said with a hint of a smile in my voice. Now that he knows I'm kidding he lifts me in the air and throws me over his shoulder. "Hey! What do you think you are doing?" I say struggling against his hard shoulder. Man this guy was strong. He's laughing now like this is the funniest thing ever. "I'm making it up to you." He throws me down on the over stuffed red couch in front of the big screen.

"Pick any movie in this collection and I will watch the whole thing with you." Could he sense that I loved movies that much? I had a sly smile on my face, I was going to make this man pay! "I walk slowly over to the wall of movies and try to find the stupidest one I could I picked out this really ridiculous looking zombie movie where it had them coming out of the ground and had green face paint on. I chuckle to myself and don't show him what I picked out. I walk over to the projector machine and slide it in.

"You are so going to pay." I laugh as I take a set down on the super comfortable couch. This couch is more of two huge recliners attached with cup holders that have lights in the bottom of them so you could find them. He goes over to the concession stand and grabs some stuff for me and his self then sits down beside me. The credits pop up and he starts groaning while I'm hysterically laughing. "Really?" He says shaking his head like he thought I had better taste in movies then this. "What? You said to make it up to me, and this is my favorite movie. So be nice." I say laughing still. He looks over at me like I'm crazy and figures out that I was just kidding about this being my favorite and then starts laughing with me.

So about fifteen minutes into the movie we are laughing so hard at this movie and how ridiculous it is. That's when Mike walks into the room and starts joining in our laughing and making fun of how stupid this is. About five minutes later everyone is sitting in here laughing and making fun of it until Mike suggests that we should make this into a drinking game. We all thought this was the best idea ever and the guys ran to the bar area to get everything we need.

This is the first time Sarah and I were alone tonight so I take the chance to ask her about Ryan. "I don't know, he's nice. I just think he's a little too serious. He's super funny though." She answers. But her face is flushed and I can tell that she might really like him. "That's so cute! You have a crush!" I gush in a whispered tone since they are only one room away. She hits me on the shoulder jokingly and retorts "Yeah well what about you and Luke?" She asks with her arms across her chest with a face that is saying way too much. I look at her like she's crazy. "Dude, your nuts. Nothing will ever happen between us. He doesn't seem like a guy that is monogamist. And I don't know, he's cute but.. Whatever, it's too soon to be thinking anything like that."

"Yeah but..." Sarah started to say but then the guys walk back into the room looking excited about our new found game.I look away from Sarah and flush hoping they didn't hear any of that.  We start playing the game and when we finish we put in Fight Club it's one of the only movies that everyone could agree on. I fell asleep at some point during the movie on Luke's shoulder.
