Minute-By-Minute (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 6

"Are you sure that Julian won't just randomly show up?" Mom asks me as I sit on Bradlee's shoulders to hang up the large poster that Nina had bought that exclaimed Happy birthday, Julian! since tomorrow was his 28th birthday. We decided to do the festivities today since I had decided that I was going to steal Julian on his birthday this year. Nina had been in charge of the surprise party, I was in charge of making sure he had a good birthday on the actual day, and Andrea was in charge in making sure he doesn't show up in the middle of us decorating.

"I'm sure, Mom. He went to do a Stigma presentation with Andrea that's about an hour and a half away. He'll be there until about 3:30 or 4:00 and then they have an hour and a half drive back and Andrea told us that she could take him to dinner if we needed more time. And Jonah's been texting me updates all day long because he's nervous that he's going to blow it or something," I tell her as she helps Theo set up the table that all the presents would go on.

"And we'll know if he shows up anyway, Colton's in charge of checking the security cameras," Nina informs, motioning to her husband that sat at the island of the kitchen counter with the tablet in front of his face. He had Bailey on his lap since he was worn out from running through people's legs to lick their ankles or whatever bare body part he could get access too.

"Hey, Mila, did you know that you can go back on these security cameras? I'm currently watching you make coffee this morning," Colton tells me. My panic starts to rise and I rush Bradlee to get me off of his shoulders. I almost fall on my face, but I don't care because I rush over to grab the tablet from Colton's hands before he can see anything of what happened the night previously.

"I don't think you need to be watching the cameras the entire time. Jonah will text me, so find another job," I tell him with an innocent smile and he snickers, reaching out to take the tablet from me.

"Don't worry, I already saw you and Julian fucking on the couch last night," he tells me and I'm immediately bombarded by yells of disgust coming from the people in the room.

"Miles! On the couch? Really?" Mom asks with disappointment.

I watch as Ivy stands up from where she was wrapping her present to Julian on the couch. She turns to me with disgust as she crosses her arms over her chest. "Well, I guess I shouldn't sit here then."

"We put a blanket down, calm yourself," I say with a sigh before going over to help Theo with opening the large sliding door in the living room. I only found out a few months ago that the huge three-paneled windows in the living room opened up to the yard. The backyard was a flat porch with dark exterior wood floors along with a grill and lawn chairs that he uses for tanning during the summer. Thankfully, it wasn't too cold today, so we could open the sliding doors to give us more room since this house was going to be filled with tons of people by night.

"Still disgusting," Ivy tells me, switching to the chair in the living room to finish wrapping her present. I let out an exasperated sigh before storming out to go up to Julian and I's bedroom to get the gifts that I hid in my dresser along with his kinky present that he'll get tomorrow night. I grab the three gifts wrapped in the navy blue paper before going back downstairs where everyone else was still decorating for the party.

When Mom sees me with my presents, her lips turn into a smile since she already knew what I had gotten Julian. She walks over to me to grab all of the wrapped things before placing them on one of the shelves in the living room since I wanted to do all of my presents last since they were definitely the biggest. "Are you nervous?"

I look up at my mom with a small chuckle. "Not really, I mean, I don't really think he'll say no."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," she laughs before pulling me over to where Theo was standing so I would help them hang up the navy blue and white streamers all over the living room. I knew they would be a bitch to clean up, but Nina wasn't taking no for an answer today.
