As soon as we got home, I got my stanky ass in the shower. I now lay on my bed with my hair wrapped in a towel, wearing a tank top and sleep shorts. Chase shirtless image is burned into my memory, and that's okay. It can stay in my memory, it's a nice vision. Taylor will be calling me as she got off of work, and we'd plan our Saturday night. So until then, I watch whatevers on TV.

♦ ♢♦ ♢♦ 

My body jumps at the intrusion of a song playing loudly, I glance around my room momentarily confused. The towel on my head unravels as I look around, I pull it off and throw it. Damn it. My phone, the cause of scaring me, lays on the bed next to me. My best friend's picture on the screen, and the song playing is her ring tone specifically assigned to her. Damn. I fell asleep.

I quick grab my phone, sliding the little green icon over, and put it to my ear.

"Hello." my voice is raspy from sleep.

"Bitch, are you sleepin?"

"Well I was."

"It's freakin' six thirty on a Saturday, and you're sleeping? You are SO lame."

This makes me smile, "It was just a nap. Shut up. You comin' over now?"

"Yeah, sorry it's a bit later, I went home to pack a bag and Jer stopped by for a bit. I guess he's going with the guys to Sliders."

Saturday is mine and Tay's day. We do see each other at school every day, but we promised that we reserved Saturday night for us. Plans always vary, sometimes they include Jeremy, sometimes not. Seems like tonight is just us.

"What you feel like doing?"

"I'm good with just hanging out, watching some movies, and stuffing our faces. I'm feeling lazy, I think my period's coming."

I laugh. "Well I got chocolate."

"Thank gawd! I got the pizza! I'll be over in a bit."

"Kayyy. See you."

"Bye."

I hang up and throw my phone down on the bed next to me. My hair is still damp, and now it's a wavy mess. My stomach growls and I am so looking forward to pizza! I hear loud voices booming from downstairs, I grab my phone and head down to see what's going on. I reach the bottom, the voices coming from the kitchen. My mom has a bunch of snacks on the middle island. Vin, Vance, Vaughn, Chase, and two more guys are standing around talking. I take in the two guys, I'm not sure who they are, then look at my brothers. They're all dressed nice minus Vaughn, who's in a tee and mesh shorts. Their dark hair is styled, a beer in each of their hands including Vaughn. My mom always enjoys entertaining people, even if it's just our friends. But mom is no where in sight. I snatch a piece of ring bologna from the tray, and dip it in some mustard.

Vance is the first one to notice me, "What up V?"

Everyone looks my way, I take a bite of my bologna, "Nothing. Where's mom?" I hop up on the stool in front of the kitchen island. The two guys, whom I don't know, are watching me.

"Her and dad just left, went out for dinner." Vin says.

I nod, swinging my legs back and forth. They resume talking about whatever they were discussing before I came in. Chase comes to stand across from the kitchen island, he leans down, his arms resting on the counter top, "You don't look like you're going to an orgy." He says low enough for my brothers not to hear. He looks good, real good. He's wearing a dark gray Hurley shirt, that strains against his tan arms. His dirty blonde hair is messy, well the little bit that has grown in. His blue eyes seem bluer than usual, they're a weapon, a girl could get lost in those. Like I think I just did.

"Yeahhh."I sigh, "Wasn't feelin' it. Getting all sticky didn't sound so appealing anymore."

He laughs, "So what are your plans for tonight?" he takes a sip from his beer bottle.

"Tays on her way over, gonna have a girls night."

"Girls night." he rubs his chin, "Does that include a sexy pillow fight?" he smiles.

"Oh yeah, in nothing but our underwear."

He pauses, and I see his adam's apple bob. This makes me smile, don't think he was expecting that response.

"You look nice." I tell him, because he does. He looks better than nice, and I'm a little annoyed at that. He's going to be the hottest guy in the bar, and no doubt the bar flies are going to be all over him.

"You do too. I especially like the shorts." He winks.

"Pizza's here!" a loud voice booms from the front of the house. Taylor comes into the kitchen holding a pizza box in her right hand, above her shoulder. All the guys look her way. "Pizza?" Vance repeats looking towards Tay.

I look at him and point, "NOT for you!"

Tay moves through the kitchen, putting the pizza on the stove top. I hop off the stool and walk around the island, grabbing plates from the cabinet above.

"Oh c'mon!" Vance says coming up behind us.

"No! You're going out, go get your own food."

Tay opens the box, the fresh smell of yummy hot peppers wafts upward. I love hot peppers on my pizza, as does Tay. We're a match made in heaven. There's also steak, onion, and mushrooms. German Pizza is the shit. Vance snatches a piece of meat off the pie, I smack his hand as he pulls away.

"Owe." he mumbles.

"Get outta here." I tell him, and bump him out of the way. I grab a slice and plop it on my plate. Tay does the same, and closes the box.

"Jerry's on his way over, he called me when I was picking up the pizza."

"Yay!"

We both stand with our backs against the stove, protecting the pie. The moans coming from us, have all the guys looking at us.

"You two do not play fair." Vance tell us, "Now I want fucking pizza."He finishes his beer then throws the now empty bottle in the recycling. "You guys ready?"

"You driving?" I ask him.

He shakes his head, "Chase is."

"How'd you get stuck being the D.D?" I look to him, my cell right in front of him. He looks mischievous, which makes him look even hotter. Mischievous Chase is a sight.

He shrugs, "I don't drink to get drunk." he simply says.

"Well then have fun with those guys."

I've devoured my slice and move onto the next. The guys all leave, except Vaughn, since he's not old enough to legally drink.

"What are your plans?" I ask him.

He shrugs, "Not sure."

"You want pizza?" I offer.

He nods and walks over, "Yeah, thanks." He grabs a slice, sans plate and devours his slice in like four bites.

"Gesz. Hungry much?" I laugh.

"I guess. I'm gonna be out in the garage." He grabs another slice and walks out of the kitchen. Yeah, he was hungry. It's quiet now that it's just Tay and me.

"Who were the other two?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't seen them before."

"They're cute."

I hum my approval, but Chase was the only one who held my eyes. Taylor's phone dings, she picks it up, "Oh. Jerry's here!" she runs out of the kitchen to the front door. I hear them greet each other, then they both come into the kitchen, Jerry following behind Tay. "I brought goodies!" Jerry holds up a bag.

"Jerrrryyyy!" I yell and go to him, wrapping my arms around his waist, he wraps his arms around my shoulders, squeezing me to him.

"I hope it's okay that I'm crashing your girls night." He releases me and puts the bag on the counter.

"Jerry, you are the exception!"

Taylor peeks into his bag, "Whatcha bring us?"

He pulls out a bag of chocolate bites, twizzlers, swedish fish, and atwo liter of cream soda. "Yummies!" He wags his eye brows at us.I grab the package of twizzlers, my favorite. We take our party of three into the living room, I flip on the tv and plop down onto the sofa. Jerry takes a seat next to me, leaving Tay room on the other end of the sofa or on my dad's favorite chair. I rip open the twizzler package and pull one out. I scroll through the premium channels, "What are you guys in the mood for?"

Sixteen Candles is on, so I immediately turn it on.

"Again? Seriously?" Taylor whines.

"Yes, shut up. One does not skip Sixteen Candles."

"Jake Ryan is boss." Jerry chimes in.

"See! Jerry knows what's up."

"I don't know how you can watch this over and over again."

"It is the best movie ever, that's how. Now shut up, you're killing my mood." I throw a twizzler at her.

I can see her in the corner of my eye, she picks up the twizzler and takes a bite, then twirls it around. Me and Jerry are watching intently, I can see Taylor is restless, checking her phone, bouncing her knee. Taylor is weird when it comes to movies, if she's seen it too many times, she can't watch it. I've made her watch this probably a million and one times.

"Taylor, I swear to gawd, go take a walk."

She huffs, "I'm gonna go make some brownies."

"YES!"I shout and throw my hands up. Sixteen Candles AND brownies? This night just turned epic!

"I'm picking the next movie." she says walking out of the room.

"Sure thing, now get to baking!" I hear her moving around in the kitchen,opening cabinets, and then her talking to herself. Me and Jerry have fun repeating the words to the movie, Taylor re-enters the room and plops back down on the couch fifteen minutes later. "They'll be ready in twenty minutes." She's playing on her phone, while we still continue to watch the movie, quoting words and laughing.

I hear a door open and then close, Vaughn comes into the living room a second later and crashes on dad's recliner. He doesn't say anything, but joins in on our little movie night.

"What's baking?" Vaughn asks a couple minutes later.

"Brownies." Taylor says, still fiddling with her phone.

"Niccce." He hisses.

"No plans?" I look towards Vaughn.

"Waiting for John to call me." He answers but doesn't bother to look at me.

Vaughn only has a couple more months until he's legal to go to the bars, I know once that happens, he won't be home as much. It's happened with each of my brothers, until the excitement wears off. I ponder what I'll be 'allowed' to do when I turn twenty one. Maybe I can rush off to Atlantic City with some friends, yeah, that sounds like a perfect plan!

Vaughn's phone starts ringing, and he answers it quickly, "Yo." A second later, he gets up and goes upstairs. The oven timer starts beeping in the kitchen, Taylor shoots up, and runs into the kitchen. All the commotion is taking away from my favorite movie.

"Can't people just sit and enjoy a freakin' movie?" I mumble.

"Forreal! Hello! Jake Ryan is on tv." Jerry agrees.

"I'm so glad you're here!" I rest my head on Jerry's shoulder, and wrap my arm around his, snuggling into him. He pats my leg with his hand.Vaughn comes down the stairs, wearing something completely different from just a few minutes ago. He disappears into the kitchen and I hear voices, but can't make out what they're saying. "Save me some!" He yells before going out the door.

I laugh, "I can eat a whole pan of brownies by myself, and he wants three of us to save him some? He crazy."

Jerry laughs at me. Taylor walks back in with a plate full of brownies. The aroma is amazing, and I grab one before she can even sit. Jerry doesn't wait either.

"ohmygawd" I say with a mouth full. They're warm, chocolatey goodness.

"I know, they're amazing. I'm awesome." Taylor says, taking a bite of the brownie in her hand.

"You are! These are delicious!" Jerry agrees.

We all finish watching the movie, our mouths too busy chewing to do anything else. The credits are scrolling when Taylor holds out her hand, "My turn.." I realized she's asking for the remote. I place it in her palm, she pulls up the guide searching for our next movie. My phone dings, and I look at it curiously, wondering who would be texting me. I immediately assume it's one of my brothers, I let out a breath, wondering if any of them landed themselves in jail. It hasn't happened yet, surprisingly. I swipe open my phone and see a message from 'McSwoony', what in the world. I can't help but feel giddy, my mouth breaks into a large smile.

McSwoony: You have that naked pillow fight yet?

I straight up giggle. It just bubbles out.

"What the hell you giggling about?" Taylor asks.

I can't wipe the smile from my face, he managed to program his number into my phone. He's at a bar, and he's texting me. He's at a bar and he's texting ME.

Me: Panties. But yeah, we actually just put our clothes back on, worked up an appetite so we're eating yummy warm brownies.

"Uh Hello? Who's got you smiling like that? Oh my gawd, are you texting Chase?" Taylor yells.

I can't help but laugh, "Yeah."

"When the fuck did you guys exchange numbers!"

"We didn't. He did it himself."

"Shut up!"

I nodded excitedly. Like a freakin' bobble head.

"When?"

"I honestly have no idea, I'm assuming when you came with the pizza. I left it on the counter."

"Hmm. I wish a hot guy would text me." Jerry pouts.

My phone pings.

"What is he saying? What are you saying?" Taylor bounces on the couch.

I wave my hand at her, "Aren't you suppose to be picking a movie?"

"This is so much more interesting!"

I shake my head. Jerry leans into me and I look over at him, he's leaning into me because Taylor is leaning into him.

"Oh my gawd, what the hell is he saying about a naked pillow fight!? Are you guys sexting?!"

I laugh loudly, "No! It was a joke."

"Send him a picture of your boobs!" Taylor suggests.

"Taylor! No way!"

"Why? I send them to Jer all the time."

"Yes, he's your boyfriend."

"Does he send you penis pics?" Jerry asks.

"All the time."

"Guurrrllll." Jerry drags out the word.

She laughs and pulls out her phone, then I'm sure showing Jerry the pics.

"oh Guurrrllllll!"Jerry says again.

She laughs, "Oh yeah."

I ignore them, and swipe my phone open to read Chase's text,

McSwoony: Damn. Get undressed, I'm coming back.

Me: Oh Jerry would love if you'd come back.

McSwoony: I wouldn't be coming back for Jerry.

I pause and reread his last text. A smile forms on my lips.

Me: What? Why? Jerry is hot, and even hotter naked! I would know. ;)

McSwoony: No, no. I like the female anatomy.

A small laugh escapes from me.

"What's so funny?"

I look over at my friends, and for a minute I forgot there were here. They're silently watching me, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

"Sorry Jerry. I was trying to talk you up, but apparently he likes the female body more."

"That's okay, He couldn't handle me anyway." He waves his hand, like it's no big deal. He takes the remote from Taylor and starts scrolling through the guide on the tv. Taylor is looking at me with a large smile on her face, she points at me, "I like this."

This makes me smile, because I like this too.
