I was sitting in my room thinking that it had been a while since I had seen Lissa and Christian. They had been busy recently, with lots of royal things. Since we are at court, I don't need to be by her side 24/7. It feels weird not seeing her for a while. Since we were little, you would swear we were joined at the hip. Ever since that day in kindergarten.
Maybe I could call her, I thought. It would be fun to catch up again.
I picked up the phone and called her cell. I was in her room at the moment, but whenever she came through the door she didn't last long. Lissa had let me live with her so we COULD spend time together at all, but even now it's hard. She picked up on the second ring.
"Hey Liss," I said using her nickname. "How are you?"
"I'm good," I could hear the smile in her voice. "How are you? Why have you happened to call?"
"Because I wanted to see if you could leave your busy schedule long enough to hang out today," I said jokingly.
"Sure, when?" she replied. That surprised me.
"I'm not sure," I said. "Depends on what you want to do."
"Hmm... a movie and... how about a horror-movie-sleepover?" she said, excited. I heard a groan in the background. Christian Ozera.
"Sure!" I said and laughed. "Tell Sparky he doesn't have to come if his petite stomach can't handle it."
There was a funny sound on the end of the phone- probably her covering the mouthpiece with her hand- and then she returned after a moment.
"My 'petite stomach' can handle all," growled Christian venomously. Or, I thought Lissa would've come back. I smiled to myself.
"You keep telling yourself that Sparky," I said. "But I bet you 10 bucks that you won't be able to watch the whole movie."
I heard another growl and Lissa's bright laughter against blaring music in the background. They must have been passing the bar. She returned to the cell.
"Okay, Rose, what time?"
"6:30, and what movie should we watch?" I asked.
"Hmm..." I heard her say. "Friday the Thirteenth!"
"Good idea!" I said. "I haven't seen that one in a while." I heard Christian say "She's seen it before?" in a horrified tone.
I laughed and Lissa said,
"We'll see you later, then, Rose. We can't wait!" We said out goodbyes and hung up. I called Dimitri, Eddie, Mia and Adrian and invited them to come also. After I finished calling everyone, I got out all of the chips and pop we would want and set it out on Lissa's huge living room table. There was popcorn, sour cream and onion chips, barbeque chips, all dressed chips and ketchup chips. There was also two 2L bottles of Ginger ale, Sprite, Pepsi and Orange Crush.
We were going to have fun tonight. I figured we'd start the movie right away and then do something together, like the classic truth-or-dare before going to sleep. All too soon it was 6:30. Five minutes later, the doorbell rang and Mia and Eddie stepped in. They were currently dating, though it wasn't too public with everyone.
"Hey guys," I said with a voice that hopefully meant that I knew what was going on between them. I knew ever since one day last week I saw Eddie dropping Mia off at her house. In true fashion, he kissed her goodbye on her doorstep. I thought it was cute that Eddie finally found someone he liked. After Spokane and loosing Mason, Eddie hasn't been the same but he's been better since he's been with Mia.
"Hey," Mia said. She was also more cheery. "What's up?"
"Not much," I replied, smiling, and I nodded to Eddie.
Before Eddie or Mia got a chance to say anything to doorbell rang again. This time when I opened the door, I was excited to see Dimitri standing there. He was wearing a green t-shirt, jeans and his brown leather duster. He had his hair pulled back like normal, but there was a strand that had come out. Man is he gorgeous.
"Hey Comrade," I said and smiled my man eater smile.
"Hey Roza," he said and gave me a kiss that left me a little breathless.
"You shouldn't do that to me," I said. "Now I am considering ditching movie night." He chuckled.
"No, you shouldn't," cried Lissa from behind Dimitri, though I heard her joking tone in there.
"Ha ha, very funny Liss," I said and gave her a hug.
"Hey there Little Dhamphir," Adrian said as he walked in. He gave me a quick kiss on my forehead. "How was your day?"
"Fine, how about you?"
"Good, but better now that I'm here with you," he said jokingly. Adrian was a nice guy and all, but I had Dimitri. I feel bad for Adrian, because I might be the first girl he's ever really liked, not just had sex with.
As we all sat down on the couches, Christian decided he needed to bring something up.
"So Rose, are we bringing everyone else in on our bet?" He asked me.
"Hell yeah," I said smiling. "I'm sure everyone wants to make some money tonight."
"What bet?" Eddie's eyes shined. Dimitri even turned his head to acknowledge this.
"Well," I said starting off. "We all know how much Sparky likes gory things. So when I told him that we were watching Friday the Thirteenth, I bet him 10 bucks that he wouldn't be able to sit through the whole movie. Who wants to add to the bet?"
"I do!" Eddie chimed. Dimitri actually joined too, and so did Adrian. Both Lissa and Mia didn't want to.
"Well Sparky, you better hope you can make it, otherwise you owe us 40 bucks."
"I'll do my best," Christian said, not so sure of himself anymore. I laughed and Lissa went and put the movie in. I felt kind of bad for Adrian, because Lissa and Christian were cuddling, Eddie and Mia were cuddling to everyone's shock at first, and of course Dimitri and I were cuddling.
The movie started. About halfway through, Christian suddenly jumped up and ran out of the room. Lissa got up and ran after him. With my heightened sense, I could faintly hear him vomiting through the doors.
"Yes! I knew he would blow chunks!" I said happily.
Dimitri rolled his eyes at me, even though he had contributed to the bet. A moment later Lissa came back into the room.
"I guess he owes you four ten bucks now eh?" She sat down on the couch beside Adrian.
"Yep," I said and smiled again. "But don't pay for him. We didn't bet if you could." Lissa laughed.
"Hey Sparky!" I yelled. "How does it feel to have a weaker stomach than your girlfriend?" I could faintly hear him mumbling something I'm sure wasn't very nice.
Soon the movie ended. Lissa had ended up curling behind Adrian, her hands on his shoulders as she peaked over them because Christian had left.
"Don't tell him about this..." she warned us all.
"We wouldn't think about it," I said very sarcastically. She rolled her eyes.
"I shawty a bed!" I yelled, knowing there were only two beds in Lissa and Christian's apartment at court. Well, I wouldn't really call it an apartment; it's more of a penthouse.
"I CALL THE MASTER BED WITH CHRISTIAN!" Lissa bellowed. Damn, should have called that one. "CHRISTIAN!" she yelled. Then we heard an "Ow!" coming from the other side of the door.
"There's no need to shout! I was just coming in here- I heard the movie stop." She laughed.
"Wait," Eddie said. "Where are Mia and I supposed to sleep?" Mia looked shocked when he said that, because he said it like they are a couple. They must not have been going public for too long.
"Uhh," Lissa said. "My couch out there is a pull-out bed... Not too comfy, but it'll do, right?"
"What about me!" Adrian complained a lazy smile on his face. Liss thought for a moment.
"A couple of sleeping bags in the closet in my room- I'll get them. You can use both for some 'added comfort'," she used her fingers in the air. "Sounds good?"
"Sounds good," he agreed. I yawned, and while I was starting to get up, Dimitri picked me up bridal style.
"It's time to get you to bed," he said in the sexiest voice I have ever heard.
Christian snickered. "Try not to hurt him, Rose." Christian and Lissa departed for her main bedroom and we walked through the guest room. I laughed at Christians comment. It's a good thing that Lissa got the walls semi sound proof, because I have a feeling the whole house- other than Adrian- is going to be making loads of noise.
"I'm sleeping in the living room," Adrian said while eyeing Mia and Eddie. "And I am a VERY light sleeper."
"Okay," laughed Maia. "We're not up for that yet anyway."
"HAH!" I laughed. "Just wait that will change." I couldn't stop giggling because I know Eddie, and he's not a womanizer but he likes getting it on like any male does. Dimitri then decided he couldn't wait any longer and he carried me towards the bedroom. Almost as fast as the door was shut, he was kissing me. God only knows what everyone would have heard tonight if the walls weren't somewhat soundproof.
