My Legally Adult Boyfriend

Chapter 6: Preparing To Party

"Where's Isabel?" I asked Carter. We were now doing the last minute checks on everything. Only two more hours to the party.

"I don't know, they said that she was last seen in her Chanel daywear number, demanding who ordered white freesias instead of lilies." He chuckled.

I shook my head laughing, must've been a sight. I caught sight of my best friend on top of the stairs, hyperventilating. "Shh, sweetheart, you're not going to make mistakes this time. It's going to be a blast."

Isabel looked at me as I was crazy. "Everybody makes mistakes, Cee. Even God- eg. World War One and Two."

"That's humanity's fault." I said.

"Oh, God. Party planning is the most stressful thing I've ever done."

"I know, darling, I know." We walked down the stairs to help Carter with the food. "So Carter, who's your date?"

"How about you, who's you're date?" He asked back.

"I asked first." I stated like a kid.

"I asked second."

"That doesn't make sense."

Carter stayed quiet. I sighed, realizing that he won't open his mouth until I say who's my date. "Fine. My date's Aidan, obvo much?"

Isabel let out a low whistle, earning a high-five from Carter.

"How about you Iz?" Asked her brother.

"Jordan."

My lips formed a smile.

"Carter, tell us!" Isabel whined.

"Fine, fine." He huffed. "I got my girlfriend as my date."

Blink-blink.

"Merciful Heavens! Since when did you have a girlfriend?" Isabel gasped.

Carter gave her a withering stare. "Since before summer vacation."

"Lies!" I gasped.

"Tell her to come over now. She can get ready here. I want to get to know her. What's her name? How is she like? Carter!"Isabel said all in one breath

"Jeez, sis, chill."

"Don't tell me to chill." She snapped. "Do it now!"

Carter rolled his eyes and pressed '6' on his speed dial and turned to us. "Her name is Summer. Summer Barrington."

"Hi, babe." Carter greeted Summer on the phone. "Yeah, well, you see, my little sister is freaking out over the fact that I have a girlfriend. Yeah. Hey, you're supposed to be on my side! Bet you'll get along we'll with her with that statement. Summer. No. Jeez, let it go. Yeah. See you in 10. Yeah. Okay. Fine. Sheesh, woman, fine! Yeah. Right. Kay. Love you. Yeah. Bye." He put down his phone and turned to me and Isabel. "Happy?"

Isabel was clutching her chest. "I'm going to have a heart attack." She declared. She reached inside her pocket and pulled out a case that looks like Tic Tac's. She popped two painkillers in her mouth and started to talk again. "BABE?! LOVE YOU?! WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Carter held her close. "Hey, hey, relax. What's the biggie?"

"The biggie is that her brother finally dumped his womanizing ways and finally settled with one girl who could possibly marry him, have three children by 2021 and be happy." I said.

Carter scowled at me.

"Welcome to our humble abode." Isabel greeted Summer when she stepped inside the house and pulled her to my room. I trailed behind with Carter, laughing.
