It's Hard to Make it Look Easy

Ch.12

I was woken up by Bella nudging my head and neck with her cold and wet nose and it was making me giggle because I was ticklish on my neck

"Ok Bella, I'm up, I'm up" I said sitting up and she barked happily and jumped off the bed and headed out of the room

I got up and went to the bathroom to do my normal routines and then I let Bella outside and I fixed myself some eggs and toast. While I was fixing my eggs and toast my doorbell rang

Who's coming to see me this early I thought and went to the door and opened it

When I opened it, it revealed Zak, Nick, Aaron, and Billy. Zak had a hot pink envelope in his hand, Nick had a small white gift bag with a blue and lavender flowers on it, Aaron had a dozen balloons, one had 'Happy Birthday' on it, and the rest were different shades of blue with little drawings that he drew and he had a light pink and red box, and Billy had a small velvet blue box.

"Come on in guys, I was just making breakfast, do you guys want any?"

"What are you having?" Aaron asked

"I'm making eggs and toast"

"Sure, I'll have some" he said with a grin

"Ok, anybody else?"

"I ate before I came, maybe next time" Zak said

"I would love to... but I had a huge breakfast my wife made me" Nick said with a sad look

"I'll have some" Billy said

"Ok, you guys can put those over there" I said pointing to the couch

I started walking off, then stopped

"Oh... and make yourselves at home"

then I started walking back to the kitchen to finish making breakfast. Bella came running through the dog door and started running, but not going anywhere because she was going to fast. She finally regained traction and ran into the living room to greet the guys. I just smiled and shook my head

That dog is nuts I thought

I turned on the little radio I had in my kitchen and when I turned it on that song was playing

Why is it everytime I turn this stupid thing on that song is on, but the song is good and I can't turn it off I thought

Then Billy came walking into the kitchen when it hit the chorus

It's easy going out on Friday night
Easy every time I see her out
I can smile, live it up the way a single guy does
But what she, what she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so easy

I then started to quietly sing the second verse

The truth is, I miss lyin' in those arms of his
But I don't ever let it show
I laugh and I act like I'm havin' the time of my life
As far as he knows

It's easy going out on Friday night
Easy every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up the way a single girl does
But what he, what he don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so easy

I sighed then put the eggs and toast on the plates and when the song ended I turned off the radio and picked up the plates and turned around and saw Billy, I looked away from him and said

"Your plate's on the counter" then walked past him

Once I was in the living room I handed Aaron his plate smiling

"Here ya go"

"Thanks... it smells good" he said taking a wiff of it

and then Billy came out of the kitchen with his plate and sat down next to Aaron. While I sat inbetween Nick and Zak
