Chapter Twenty-one
Katelyn's point of view
"Michael!" I yelled and I literally fell into the house. I huffed as I hit the floor and then I heard laughter. "Calum?"
"What did she do to you?' Calum asked and I heard more laughter. "Shit, what's in all those bags?"
"Never go shopping with Bryana!"
"She buys a lot of things when she goes shopping." Ashton said and I heard a feminine laughed from behind me. "She doesn't go out often though."
"You'll live." Bryana said and someone helped me up. "Who's this?" She asked and I looked up to see pink hair and hazel eyes.
"Jacob," I said and he smiled. "Don't you work today?" I asked him and he shook his head as I told up.
"I did but Kaleb took my job. He said he needed the extra money so he's taking today and tomorrow. He dropped me off and Michael said I could stay over since tomorrow is Friday." He said and I nodded.
"That's Jacob?" Bryana asked and I nodded as he took some of my bags from me. "I'm Bryana, Ashton's girlfriend and the other psychotic mum alongside Calum."
"I know who you are, my friend follows you on Instagram and Twitter." He said and she smiled. "Sorry Ash, might not have been the information you wanted to hear."
"It's fine because I have a surprise for Bry, why do you think Calum is over here?" Ashton said and I groaned.
"You two need to chill before she becomes an actual mother." I said and they laughed as the two blushed a bit. "Anyways, thank you so much Bryana. Today was amazing." I said and she nodded.
"Anytime love." She said and nodded. "I guess me and Ashton will be off then. Bye guys, nice meeting you Jacob." She said and they waved.
"Bye." Jacob said and smiled politely. The two left and I looked at the four guys leftover. "Guess who's becoming the next model?"
"Exactly. Now get up there and start showing us what you bought so I know whether or not I need to yell at her." Luke said and I looked at them.
"I can't model everything you know." I said and they all looked at each other. "I can model most of it though." I said and nodded.
"You went underwear shopping with her? Seriously?" Calum asked and I blushed. "No wait, she dragged you in there and made you try things on and buy them?"
"Yes, you are correct." I said and laughed. "Come on, I'll show you what I bought."
-
"Well, that was a lot. Those were actually nice and age appropriate... to an extent." Michael muttered and I laughed.
"It wasn't that bad Michael!" I said, motioning to the shirt she bought me. "It's under my ribcage at least."
"True." Calum said and nodded. "Come on man, give Bryana credit. This is weird but Katelyn's a slim girl with a nice body, you can't blame Bryana for wanting her to show it off."
"That was weird Calum, please don't ever say that again." Luke said and nodded. "That was disturbing in a way."
"Flattering to me." I said and shrugged. "Bryana said I should wear it only if I have pants on and a jacket, if it makes you feel better."
"Makes me feel better." Jacob added and I laughed. "I'm with Michael on this, but Calum has a point man. Girls either help each other or tear each other down. Bryana obviously wanted her to be more confident."
"Luke, you're on my side right?" Michael asked I looked at him. I pulled the puppy dog face and Luke looked at Michael.
"As long as you wear pants and a jacket with it, it's fine by me." Luke said and I cheered. "Come on Mikey, stop pouting."
"You made me be that father. The overly protective one but the overly sensitive one." Michael said and I laughed.
"Want some help putting this all away?" Jacob asked, looking at all the bags by the door. I nodded and he stood up.
"Don't grab the black bag, that's the personal stuff." I said and he nodded as he grabbed a white one. "Are you gonna help too?"
"Nah, I got a football game to get back too while Luke and Michael got dinner to get too. You kids may have eaten already, but us adults haven't." Calum said and I nodded. The three left and I rolled my eyes as Luke kept the door wide open.
"You had this on your desk if you didn't see it." He said and handed me a small, black velvet box. "Don't look at me, I'm too broke to buy that. I can barely afford gas for my car."
I opened it and inside was a small silver ring that wad shaped like a crown. "Who the hell keeps buying me gifts? I get a teddy bear and now a ring? What's going on?" I asked. "It's beautiful though." I said and he nodded.
"It is." He said and I took the ring out. I looked at it and judging by it's size, it was meant for my pinky.
I put it on and smiled. "It fits perfectly." I said and he nodded. "I'll ask the guys about it later. Right now, I have things to put away." I told him and he nodded.
"Hey uh this is kind of weird to ask but can you do my make-up tomorrow?" He asked and I looked at him as I hung up a dress. "You know, the whole dark eye make-up and stuff?"
"Yeah, of course." I said and smiled. "Your costume and stuff is in the extra bedroom then?" I asked and he nodded.
"Yeah. I have everything there." He told me and I grabbed some bags, setting them on the bed. "You got a purse?"
"Apparently it's a crime to not own one." I said and he laughed. "Wait, is your friend picking you up tomorrow?" I asked.
"Nah, another friend is borrowing my car for a date so he'll drop it off tomorrow. He lives like a street down so it's all good." He said and I nodded.
"I'd be impressed if I was getting picked up in a car like that. It's a classic car and it's really nice." I said and he nodded.
"So, what is this for?" He asked as he held up a few cases of make-up. "Why is there so much?" He asked and I shrugged.
"She said it's good to have extra because if something spills or breaks, you have one left. She told me since I'm living with a clumsy giant and a joker that extra is always good." I said and he nodded.
"Okay." He said and set it on my desk. He unpacked the bags and then tossed all the clothes on my bed. "Go change into something more comfortable love, I think I got this."
"Thank god. I am itching to get into some leggings and a sports bra." I said and he chuckled. I grabbed them and then went to my bathroom.
I changed into the comfort clothes quickly and then quickly wiped my make-up off. I pinned my hair into a ponytail and then I opened the door.
"Who bought you that necklace? I've never seen it before." Jacob said as he looked at me. "It's nice."
"Luke did because he said he was sorry for throwing me in the middle of drama." I said and he nodded ad he hung up a cardigan.
"He knows that he can't just buy you, right?" He asked me and I looked at him. "You won't let them buy you, right?"
"Of course not. It's just he kept apologizing for it and he kept like telling me to take it so I was just like 'okay'. You can't just buy me." I said and he nodded.
"Good. I'd expect you to have more respect towards yourself then that." He said and I nodded. "Now, you still have to put your jewelry away and that black bag."
"The black bag I can put away later. Right now, the jewelry go in my box." I said and pointed to the small white box on my desk.
He opened it and helped me out everything away. "I'm keeping this ring on, it's cute and I have to ask about it." I said and he nodded.
We soon finished putting everything away and I looked at him. "Want to just chill and watch some movies? Maybe listen to music and be those kids you read about on Tumblr poems?"
"What kids?" He asked as we sat down on my bed. "I don't understand that term."
"You know the whole 'tell me what's going through your head' and 'how do to feel about politics' and 'why is your favorite color red'. Those kids. The ones who's conversations are so deep that the mermaids in Atlantis can't even see them." I told him and he laughed.
"Oh, them." He said and I nodded. "I'm not in any place to share my views on politics. I don't when know what the fuck a politic is because guess what? The school would rather teach me how to define isotopes."
"I know. It sucks. I don't want to be a scientist or a math teacher or anything. I want... I-I don't know what I want to be." I said and thought about it. "I don't know what I want to be."
"I want to be a business man." He said and we looked said each other. We bursted out laughing and I leaned my head on his shoulder. "I actually want to be a race car driver." He said and I nodded.
"You can make a lot of money doing that." I said and he agreed. "That seems like a cool job though. You get money for being faster than everyone else." I said and he laughed.
"Yeah." He said and chuckled. "I don't know, it just seems fun. I've always been into cars and I want to work with them. My mum called me crazy."
"Maybe you are," I said and he nodded. "But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The best people are a bit crazy." I told him.
"Are they?" He asked and I nodded. "I think I'm more than a little crazy though. What if I'm completely insane?"
"Just because you're crazy doesn't mean you can't be superman." I said and he looked at me amused.
"You listen to 3 Doors Down?'
"May or may not have gone through your Spotify playlist." I said and he laughed as he hugged me a bit. "I like some of your music. The others scare me."
"Yeah, a lot of people get scared by it." He said and I giggled. "What?" He asked me and I looked at him.
"There's this song you have and I just remembered it. It was something about spanish and excuses." I said and he nodded.
"I know what song you're talking about." He said and then cleared his throat. "No hablo ingles," he sang and I nodded as I laughed.
"That one. It was amusing to listen to." I said and he nodded. "The band is great."
"Yeah, I love their music. It makes me happy because they have amusing songs that will always make me laugh and feel better." He told me and I nodded.
"That's good." I said and laughed. "You have something to keep you happy. Everyone deserve to be happy."
