Next Chapter Guys and Girls ;)
The continuous sound of a loud petrol engine rang through my open window waking me from my sleep. I groaned quietly and rolled off my new, surprisingly comfy bed.
I glanced out of my window and saw Martin mowing the over grown lawn, preparing for the party. A large grin stretched across my face as dad met my gaze and winked at me. Even though Martin wasn't my real dad, he was the closest thing to a dad I ever had. My real dad had walked out on me and my mum when I was a few years old so I grew up seeing Martin as my dad.
I grabbed a hoodie and sprinted out my room, out of the back door and over to Martin.
"Hey Mill" Martin chuckled, grabbing me in a bear hug.
Martin had been in New York for three months working, so I hadn't seen him since Christmas. I hugged him back before pulling away when I saw Jake over his shoulder, emptying a bag of cut grass into a bin bag.
Martin followed my gaze and chuckled softly.
What a day to run out into the garden in a pair of baggy tracksuit bottoms and an old hoodie. I glanced down at my outfit and moaned quietly.
"Millie this is Jacob. Jacob this is Millie" Martin introduced us once Jake had strolled over to us.
Jake grinned down at me.
"We met yesterday" he told Martin.
I nodded, confirming the meeting to Martin. "Jake helped me with the suitcases" I told Martin.
"Ah" Martin nodded before carrying on cutting the lawn.
I stood awkwardly, staring down at newly cut grass, hoping Jake hadn't noticed my outfit.
"So are you going to get changed before the party?" Jake smirked down at me.
I laughed softly and shrugged my shoulders.
"What are you trying to say?" I smirked back at him. "Do you not think this is good enough for me to wear to the party?"
I heard Jake chuckled loudly.
"Fine" I breathed. "You get your way. I will get changed"
"See you later Mill" Jake shouted after me as I strolled back into the house.
I turned back and smirked at me before closing the door to my bedroom. I made sure my curtains were shut as I scanned my rows of dressed and outfits which would be more appropriate for a party.
"Perfect" I muttered, picking up a short blue dress with a brown belt attached above my waist, making me look skinner then I actually was. I wasn't particularly good at walking in heels so I grabbed a pair of plimsolls and slid them onto my feet. Thankfully I had shaved my legs before moving so they were still smooth. My face looked worse with heavy make up on so I stuck to only mascara, eyeliner and some lip-gloss which tasted like strawberries.
Once I was mostly ready, I strolled out of my bedroom, hoping that not too many people had arrived yet. I could see Martin outside, standing behind a new barbeque, chatting to a man in a wheelchair and a shortish woman. I spotted mum rushing around between the different groups of people, offering people drinks and generously looking worried.
I decided it would be safer to stay in the kitchen, so I grabbed my phone off my bed and walked towards the kitchen. Suddenly the kitchen didn't sound like a good idea when I heard a series of deep voices in the kitchen.
"Millie" Jake grinned at me as I strolled curiously into the kitchen.
He grabbed me into a tight bear hug.
Jake had changed too. Instead of the pair of baggy tracksuit bottoms he had been wearing earlier, he was wearing a pair of jeans and a grey polo-shirt. As I examined Jake's outfit, he and the group of friends he had brought examined mine. I suddenly wished I had made more of an effort.
"Is this better?" I smirked up at Jake.
He nodded and winked at me. "Perfect"
"Guys this is Millie. Millie this is Quil, Embry, Seth and Sam" Jake mumbled, pointing at each of the boys in turn, well I should say men because they looked older than I first thought. The one named Sam seemed the oldest.
"Hey" I smiled back at the beaming group of boys.
I breathed a sigh of relief and pulled a can of coke out of the fridge. As I closed the fridge the group of boys were staring at my outfit, but two more boys had joined them.
I noticed one of the new guys wasn't even looking at my dress but met my gaze instantly. It seemed like his dark brown eyes glazed over but they never left mine. I looked away eventually when it became too awkward and the other boys began to notice the boy staring.
"Oh boy" Embry muttered.
"This is going to be fun" Seth whispered quietly, brushing his fingers through his short black hair.
"Is he ok?" I asked curiously. "Does he need a drink or something?" I pulled a cup out of the cupboard and filled it with cold water.
"Millie what is going on?" Daisy's voice flooded the room and everyone instantly turned to look at her as she strutted in.
She was wearing a very short, tight black dress which showed her stick thin figure. Her blond hair was twisted up into a large bun and unsurprisingly she was wearing a crown on her head.
I rolled my eyes and passed the boy who was now sitting on a stool, still staring at me, the glass of water. His fingers got caught it mine as I pulled my hand away, sending what felt like an electrical current through my body. We flinched at the same time and a few of the boys, including Jake began to laugh. The others were still staring at Daisy.
"Wow" the other new boy mumbled staring at Daisy.
Daisy rolled her eyes. She was used to having boys stare at her because she was always the best looking girl in the room. However she had a strange glint in her eye when she saw the boy sitting on the stall infront of me.
"So Mill, who are you friends?" Daisy asked, smiling down at the boy.
I looked over at Jake for help as I didn't actually know everyone's name.
"That's Paul" Jake explained pointing to the boy sitting in the chair. "Jared, Sam, Seth, Embry, Quil and I'm Jacob"
Daisy nodded still staring at the boy named Paul. Paul glanced up from the glass of water, completely ignoring Daisy and smiling at me.
Daisy frowned down at me in confusion. No one ignored Daisy. If Daisy wanted a boy, she got the boy. The boy had no chance.
"So…" Jared started, frowning slightly. "Are you sisters?"
Daisy shot up instantly and glared at Jared.
I laughed softly and wrapped my arm around Daisy's waist, pulling her closer to me.
"Jared, can you not see the resemblance?" I asked sarcastically.
The boys laughed huskily which made Daisy angry.
Daisy grunted and strutted back out into the garden. I chuckled and sipped on my coke.
"So your not sisters?" Jared checked.
"My mum is married to her dad" I explained briefly. "I guess we could be sisters. There is always one fat sister right?"
I wasn't fat, but compared to Daisy who didn't eat enough to keep a rabbit alive, I looked obese.
"Millie" Martin yelled from the barbeque.
I opened the kitchen window and leaned out. "Yes dad?" I shouted back.
"Can you bring some plates out?"
I nodded and slammed the window shut. The boys watched as I scanned the cupboards for plates.
"Try the one of the right" Jake suggested.
I pulled open the cupboard on the right and pulled out a pile of new plates.
"Can you draw me a map of the house? You seem to know it better then me" I mumbled to Jake.
Jake chuckled as I frowned at him, wondering how he knew. I shook my head, laughing to myself and then walked out the room. As soon as I left the room, the boys began talking. I heard my name mentioned so I stopped behind the door, listening.
"Paul dude are you alright?"
There was a grunt in response.
"Why her. Why not her sister? Did you see her sister? I could have had Daisy within seconds, you could see you wanted me" the unfamiliar voice must have been Paul.
Was he talking about me?
"I know she isn't your usual type but everything happens for a reason" Sam murmured.
"She is the opposite of your usual type" Jared added. "I mean you never normally date anyone who is bigger than a size six"
His remark was followed by a thump and then Jared yelled "Ouch"
"Don't talk badly of her" Paul growled.
"Sorry Paul" Jared muttered.
Had Paul hit Jared for saying something bad about me?"
"Well I think you got lucky" Jake said. "Millie is awesome" he added.
I smiled slightly and then continued out into the garden. There was already a line of people waiting for food by the barbeque, so I handed them each a plate.
"Millie this is Billy Black and Sue Clearwater" Martin introduced me to the man in the wheelchair and the lady by his side quickly.
"Hey is it very nice to meet you" I said, shaking their hands quickly.
"I see you have already met the boys" Billy glanced over at the back door as the boys strolled out into the garden.
"Yeah" I nodded.
"I am Seth and Leah's mum" Sue added, pointing to Seth and then to a tall very pretty girl with short black hair who was talking to my mum happily.
Looking at all the boys together, you could mistake them for brothers and Leah their sister because they looked so alike. Maybe to be part of their group, you had to have short black hair, dark brown eyes, and bulging muscles.
"And I am Jake's dad" Billy chuckled.
Looking between Billy and Jake you could see the obvious resemblance.
I smiled over at Jake when he saw us staring but Paul met my gaze instantly with a slightly confused smile.
"I see you have caught the attention of Paul" Billy smirked up at me.
I felt my cheeks blushing as Sue and Billy exchanged a meaningful look and then looked between me and Paul.
"Do you want a drink?" I asked Billy and Sue, noticing unlike nearly everyone else they were not holding a drink.
"Could I have some water please love?" Sue smiled up at me.
I nodded and waited for Billy to ask for a beer before walking quickly back into the kitchen. As I waited for the fridge to drop some ice cubes into the cub, I could hear the mumbling sound of people chatting happily outside the windows.
"Where can I get a drink for your sister?" A husky voice whispered behind me. I instantly recognised Paul's voice and my heart began to beat abnormally face as I felt his breath on the side of my neck.
I snorted and took a step forward so there was a gap between me and Paul.
"There are some bottles of water outside" I muttered still not turning to look at him.
Daisy was the pickiest person I knew. She wouldn't drink water unless it was bottled and was cold. She wouldn't drink orange juice if it had bits in it and the milk had to be a week in date if she had to drink it.
"Thanks for earlier"
Paul suddenly appeared infront of me, making me jump. He sniggered lightly as I glared up at him.
"For what?" I asked confused.
I grabbed a can of beer out of the fridge and noticed a bottle of water too. I took the bottle of water and pushed it towards Paul. He took it slowly, letting his finger brush past my hand purposely.
I tried not to react as Paul slid his hand around mine but I wasn't the best actor. A large smug grin stretched across Paul's face.
"You might want to get back to Daisy. She doesn't like being kept waiting. I mean she is only a size four, so she is your usual type and apparently, she wants you" I stated with a harsh edge to my voice that I didn't expect.
Paul seemed just as shocked as I was. He scratched his neck nervously and looked out the window, hoping that one of his friends would come and help him.
"Oh, you heard that" Paul whined quietly.
I snatched my hand away from him. "So you better gets your hands off me before someone sees you with a size eight" I glared up at Paul, gritting my teeth together.
I grabbed Sue and Billy's drinks and then quickly walked towards the back door.
"Hey" Paul growled.
He blocked my way to the door and glared back at me. I noticed his hands were shaking but before I could ask, he clenched them into tight fists.
"I didn't mean it like that" he hissed. "So don't be a bitch about it"
I snorted loudly and stepped closer to Paul so I was almost touching his muscular torso. I could feel the heat blazing off of Paul's body, making my cheeks blush. Paul frowned at me.
"I have met a lot of boys like you before. You are just trying to get with Daisy so stop pretending you care about what I think because in the end, you don't give a monkeys what happens to me as long as it doesn't affect your relationship with Daisy" I stated.
Paul had a strange look in his eyes. It was like what I had said really hurt him but I took the opportunity and pushed past him out of the door.
