"And Here We Meet Again"
Chapter Three: Partee
"Soooo, you told the girl that you have been in love with since you where sixteen, that you were having an 'imaginary' party that you invited her and your childhood friends to, who she is now friends with as well. Did I get it all right?" Raymond Willis laughed at his best friend.
"That sounds about right Mond" he said with a laugh at his predicament.
"Okay I'm sure I- we can organise something before they all arrived. We have lots of friends here Trippe. I'm sure everyone will be up for one of our parties! We were the kings of parties weren't we?" Mond reassured his friend with a laugh.
"But we haven't sailed that ship for a long time" the best friends had become pretty tame lately over holding random parties with hundreds of people they didn't really know and more just gate crashing for the hell of it.
"We'll have a party by then" Mond said with a grin, Tristan new everything would work out just perfect when he saw him grin like that. He was going to see Rory again, that was the most important bit, it was all worth it! He couldn't wait!
"Fancy meeting Tristan after all this time?" Stephanie asked the girls. The boys were out getting lunch for them all.
"Yes it was rather interesting wasn't it?" Rory agreed with the other female.
"So Rory…?" Paris asked her curiously, aiming a blush that resided on her cheeks.
"I think I have feelings for him again…" she blurted out to her friends, her face now going a bright red crimson shade.
Stephanie's eyes lit up with joy of a possible romance ensuing for her great friend and childhood friend. She clapped happily with both hands.
"So what are you going to wear tonight?" Stephanie asked Rory. "Something that will knock his socks off right?" she said with a smile.
"Shopping time!" Rory clapped her hands.
Paris rolled her eyes and already knew she was going to wear her jeans with a t-shirt and jacket.
"Yah! " Stephanie screamed with excitement.
"You both have fun now" Paris said with disinterest, waving them out of their. She didn't come all this way just to go shopping!
"Don't you want to wear something new to your first beach house party Paris?" Stephanie asked her with surprise.
"Well if you see something that you think will look good on me you can buy it then okay?" Paris compromised with the other blond, which gained her a big smile and big bright eyes like it was Christmas morning.
"Okay! Promise you will wear it?" she grinned at the lady who taught her about fashion and bought most of her clothes for her.
"Don't I always?" she said in a more border tone that she really felt.
"Tell the boys we went shopping!" Rory said with a smile, running up the stairs to her bed room, two stairs at a time.
"What's with you man?" Colin asked his friend, with annoyance. Logan was being a real KJ at the moment, which was really annoying him to the hilt.
"Yeah ever since Rory had gone MIA this morning, you have been acting weird" Finn said, eyeing his friend with a nod.
"Nothing's wrong with me! Let's just get the food and go home to the girls who are probably starving by now" he changed the subject.
"You can't jump ship that easily Logan" Colin said, smiling as a pay back to his long-time friend.
"I'm not trying to avoid anything!" Logan said defensively, receiving a laugh from Finn, and hearing a whipping sound.
"The man has feelings for Rory!" Colin confirmed, happy that he wasn't the only one going through the weird emotions.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Logan said to his friends, denying any kind of thing. He did't do feelings, like EVER! They knew that. Logan Huntzaberger was not a feelings type of man. He was a meet them, nook them, and move on typa man. And that was the way he liked it. No payment, no purchased kinda man.
"You are whipped my friend" Finn confirmed with a look towards Colin.
"What do I do now?" Logan never had feelings for a girl before. Everything was always fast and easy, no emotion involved ever.
"We'll figure something out Mate!" Finn reassured his friend.
"So everyone is coming, the kegs, alco and drinks have been order and awaiting pick up when we are ready, so all that is left to do is for your 'Mary' to arrive" Mond said with pride, buffing his chest and flexing his toned muscly arms in manship.
"Thanks mate! You are way too awesome for your own good!" Tristan said with amusement, and rolling his eyes at his friend's funny ways
"I know huh?" he said with a laugh, never lacking modesty. He jumped on the couch and closed his eyes for a sleep. "Now let me have my nap before this party goes to the boom!" and a few seconds later he was snoring really loudly as confirmation.
Tristan left his friend and went for a swim.
"That looks lovely Rory" Teph commented on the nice ensemble that Rory had put together.
"Isn't it? It just mesh's real well together doesn't it?" she said with pride, she definitely had inherited her mother's very good taste in fashion.
"And I think Paris will look nice in this dress and cardigans don't you think, and these pumps look to die for!" Stephanie said with a smile at how great of a stylist she really was.
"There is no doubt that you are in the best job Teph!" Rory agreed.
"And Tristan will absolutely L-O-V-E love your outfit!" Teph looked over at her friend again.
"And your outfit is gorgeous! It really makes you look even more stunning" she was happy for her friend. "All the guys will be all over you" she winked at her.
"And Paris will look gorgeous for Colin in this!" both girls squeal and jumped up and down to the amusement of the sales lady.
They both walked over to the counter and bought the three outfits, and headed home.
"Hey Paris" the three boys greeted happily, too happy she thought, what was up with them? She wondered to herself.
"Hey musketeers" she called them that every time they greeted her at the same time, which was most of the time.
"Lunch is locked and order" Finn grinned and place the bag on the table, emptying all the contents on to the table, as Colin went to grab the cutlery and plates, while Logan called out to the girls.
"Chow time ladies!"
"Ladies in question have gone shopping. So only one lady present" she said with sarcasm, which they boys were used to by now, having known her for the last three years.
"Ah okay. Then Miss Gellar, will you please accompany us to the table for some splendid dining" Logan used a mock voice, which made the two boys laugh at him with amusement.
"Funny Logan" she stood up and walked to the table. "Well thank you gentlemen for lunch"
"Now let's dig in!" Finn said with a laugh, and attacked the take away container like he was so hungry.
"Geez Finn! You look like you haven't eaten in days!" Colin said with amusement.
"Yeah mate! Calm down" Logan joined in with a laugh, Finn took no notice and just kept shovelling food into his mouth.
"Ah the prestige of the Yalites" Paris said with a laugh.
"Yalies" Colin corrected to annoy the woman, who hated to be corrected because she was rarely wrong.
Paris grumbled in his direction, which caused the two boys to laugh, and earning them a kick at the table, an 'ouches' in their direction, and booming laughter at the inside joke that Paris shook her head at.
"Yay! The girls are home!" Paris said with gladness, getting up to greet the girls and leave the tension evaporating off Colin.
The girls all looked lovely in their new outfits, and the boys looked equally stunning. They walked up the beach, chatting amongst each other, happy to be able to relax and not have to worry about a single thing, but enjoying their night with their friends.
"You look really lovely tonight" Logan whispered in her ear
Rory laughed as he had tickled her neck with his breath. "Why thank you Logan. You look rather dashing yourself"
"Glad you approve Ace" he told her, happy to have scored some points from her, putting a careless arm around her, and she absentmindedly put an arm around his waist, and chatted about the place.
"Nice dress Love" Finn told Paris, eyeing Colin with a smile.
"Thank you Finn. You look rather nice yourself. Teph picked it out for me while they were out today" she looked over at her friend, smiling.
"So know where we are going?" she asked him, not sure what to expect at all. She had never attended a party like this before. Her only source of knowledge was what she witness at the movies.
"Just like the parties we have gone to at Yale Love, no need to be concerned" he knew her well enough that she would be questioning everything. He put an arm around her for reassurance, smiling at his friend as he did this.
"Hasn't Tris changed?" Teph commented about their childhood friend.
Colin nodded his head in agreement, watching the blond and brown haired couple in front of them. Not really interested to talk to Teph, but continuing the conversation to make his friend feel good.
"Yup. He grew an foot or two hasn't he?" Colin wasn't very tall, so everyone actually looked taller than him, even if they hadn't grown.
"Rory has a crush on him" she whispered so no one else could hear. She giggle liked a school girl, happy for her friend.
Colin looked over at his friends, who were leading the pack, and sensed a big heart break for his blond best friend. Poor Bugger he thought to himself.
"Yeah? Good for them." He tried to sound positive, but felt bad even saying the words.
"There she is Mond" Tristan said with excitement, jumping out of his skin.
"Calm down mate! You look like you're about to receive the most precious gift in the world" Mond laughed with amusement, taking a swig at his drink, and handing a knew bottle to Tristan.
"Thanks mate! It feels like I am! I am finally going to resume things with her! It feels good!" he took a swig at his drink as well and looked on at the beautiful girl headed their way.
