Accidentally Roommates

Chapter 30

Mayleen's POV:

"Merry Chrismas!" Charlie said. It was a beautiful christmas morning. The christmas tree was lit up with ornaments all over it. The presents are all under the tree. The apartment were all covered in christmas decoration. Charlie and I got everything ready since yesterday.

"Merry Christmas to you too." I laughed. I was eating cereal. Yep, you heard it right. Cereal. No fancy breakfast today. Charlie was tired from yesterday, so I told him he doesn't have to cook.

"So who else is going tonight?" I asked. Brandon is throwing a Christmas party at his place. I hate parties, but I had to go. I mean its Brandon we're talking about. He'll make a big deal out of it if Charlie or me doesn't come.

"Well maybe a couple of my campus friends? Brandon told me to invite as many people possible." He said. "How about you, you want to invite people from work?"

"Maybe just one." I said, remembering Jessica.

"Ooh are you finally and your boss finally getting along?" He smirked.

"I don't know. But its not him. There's this other assistant, Jessica, she's really nice, and we're sort of friends."

"Look at you, making friends." He said, in a baby talk voice.

"Shut up." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Hey the present I got you under the tree cannot be opened until after Brandon's party got it." Charlie said.

"Yeah, yeah, yours also. Oh, and speaking of presents what did you get for Brandon?" I asked.

"Not telling. You?"

"Not telling too. How bout' Elizabeth?" I asked again.

"A purse. She said she really liked this type of purse, so I figured why not buy it for her. Just hope she didn't buy it already." He said.

I laughed. "Let's hope that, because that would be embarrasing."

"What did you get her?" He asked.

"A dress she wanted from the store, but she couldn't buy it because she couldn't afford it yet."

"Oh."

I spent my whole day at Elizabeth's apartment begging her to come.

"Come on Lizzie, Brandon really wants you to come." I begged. I'm telling the truth. Brandon told me to do whatever it takes to make Elizabeth come.

"No May, I'm sorry, but I just don't feel like it."

"Oh come on. It's going to be fun. Jack will love it there. Alcoholic drinks everywhere, from beer to expensive wine." I said.

"True. But I don't think its a good idea."

"Is this because its Brandon's party? Cut him some slack." When I said that she kept quiet.

"What did he do to you anyway that made you so mad?" I asked.

"Trust me, long story." She said, getting up from the couch.

"Fine if your not coming for Brandon, then at least come for me? Please?? Charlie is probably going to hang out with his friends, and I am going to be totally alone. I need you." I said. I gave her my best puppy dog eyes.

"Ughh fine." She said reluctantly. "But only for you."

"Woohoo, you are the best!" I said hugging her.

"Yeah, yeah whatever." She said, rolling her eyes. Ok, getting Elizabeth to come, check.

"So, what are you wearing tonight?" She asked. Hmm, I haven't thought about that actually. I was so focus on bringing Elizabeth, that I forgot to pick soemthing out for tonight.
