Just Because I Met You

Chapter 28

"Mom said we could have it here!" I cheered.

Jaycee smiled, and fist pumped, "Yes!" She wrote down on her notepad. "Are they going to be here?"

"No. She said Trina will most likely be at work, but if she gets off. Her and Trina will go out for drinks for awhile. The house is to ourselves, so we better be good."

"Which means..." Jaycee smirked.

I shook my head, "Oh no."

She nodded, "Oh yes!"

"Jaycee!"

Jaycee clamped her hands together, "Oh please, please, please Ari. Its my 18th! We can do this.."

I sighed. She always gets me with that guilt trick and birthday saying, "Fine. Fine."

She hugged me, "You're the best."

My stomach chirned. I pushed her off of me, cringing, "Mmhm, yeah. I know. Anyways.."

"Okay. So, we can use your hot tub right? It still works?" She questioned.

"Yes ma'am, and with the remote we can turn on the lights and turn up or down the temp."

She wrote more down on her notepad, "Sounds fantastic. Let's go down stairs so we can look at your livingroom and dining room, and backyard porch to see how we'll decorate it."

I slipped on my shoes, "Alright, one question though. Why are we planning this I'm two weeks advance?"

"Because I'm not a procrastinator like you! That's why!" She informed.

That was true. I was a procrastinator.

"Makes sense." I shrug. We walked down the stairs to go to the living room, where Jared was just walking in the door from work.

His hours had changed already for school, just so he would get used to it.

Jaycee's demeanor erupted, "Hiiiiiii!"

Jared wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her up, "Hey princess."

"How was work?"

He laid his cheek on hers, "It was alright. Would have been better if you were there to accompany me though." She smiled and snickered. They leaned in to kiss, and I turned my attention away from their scene.

Whatever, whatever, whatever Jaycee.

"Arianna and I were planning my party. Mama Sandra said we could have it here!" She chimed.

I looked over at Jared and he was already looking at me, "Really? That's great! This is really coming together huh?"

"All because of her!" She points over to me.

Jared smirked, "Isn't she the best friend ever?"

Is he serious right now?

Is he serious right now?!

"What are you fucking doing?" I mouth over to him.

He pretends to not see me, and keep his undivided attention on his babbling girlfriend.

"We can move the tables correct?"
