I was sitting in the backyard of Candy's and my new house. It was a combined gift from our dad for our 18th birthday. It's been about 3 months since Candy's birthday and today was my birthday. I still felt guilty for everything that happened on her birthday. After that I had managed to avoid Dave…. Well I avoided everyone but candy. Snow and Blue were playing in the snow and I was drinking some coffee in a chair I cleaned off.
"why are you out here? It's freezing." Candy asked standing in the doorway.
"Just thinking about how i am a horrible sister, and watching the dogs play." I said not looking at her
"it's your birthday don't be depressed. I forgave you months ago. Come inside." She said rolling her eyes
I got up and didn't realize how cold I was till I stepped inside, where my lovely sister had like 5 people waiting for me.
"Surprise!!" everyone screamed
"Candy. I said I didn't want a party." I almost growled.
She threw her hands up in defense. "I didn't invite them."
I gave her the -I don't believe her- look as jeff passed me a cup of coffee before wrapping his arms around Candy's waist
"Dave thought it would be a good surprise and since none of us had a match this week we came." Matt said with a little smile.
"please tell me he isn't here." I said glaring at matt and then looking over at my sister as she knew how mad I was at him
"not yet. He wanted to pick something up." Jeff said innocently
I have been avoiding him since that night, to the point where I stopped going to shows if I knew he had a match and if I ran into him I took off like someone was threatening my coffee.
"June bug chill out. We got you gifts." R truth said
I gave him a big smile and walked over and sat on his lap. Who can say no to gifts? Not me
"well pass them to the queen of the day." I said with a smile
I like R truth, he was cute. I also knew it would piss Dave off that I was flirting with him.
"oh mine mine mine."Jeff said letting go of Candy and handing me a huge bag.
I opened it and inside was a shit ton of coffee of different flavors. Matt was next and he got me all new well old but first edition Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings books. R truth got me Alice in Wonderland book with all the different movies. Becky got me some new outfits. Randy got me the new iPhone and iPad. Candy got me the Game of Thrones books along with a Game of Thrones and a card that told me to be ready tomorrow by noon no later, but wouldn't explain anymore. I looked up at her all curious and she just shrugged.
"well I see I've missed a lot." Dave said as he walked in
I never moved off of R Truths lap and he was whispering stupid shit in my ear or just blowing in it im not quite sure which as I was distracted.
"maybe so. Why didn't you knock?" I asked not looking up from my coffee.
"because he thinks you're his." R truth whispered in my ear making me miss what Dave said
"what are we doing today?" Jeff asked trying to change the subject apparently
I looked up at everyone they were my closest friends and I thought for a second. "let's just hang out and watch some movies." I decided "I mean you guys are my closest friends and I just want to chill today"
"sounds like fun." Matt said picking out some snacks from the pantry.
I honestly think that is why he loves coming over here because since we moved in he knows Candy and I keep a bunch of snacks in there. R truth picked me up and we all went and sat down on our huge couch.
"do you want to open my gift before we start?" Dave asked not sitting down apparently excited for me to open this gift as he was grinning
"ah sure." I muttered sitting up more
I opened the smallest box first and it was a set of keys. Odd I thought. I moved onto the bigger one and it was a helmet. Ah fuck he got me a motorcycle……. Shit.
"Dave….." I started to say before he cut me off
"Your dad already knows about it. I mean he may not be so happy about it but he said it was ok. Plus it's the same kind you stole from jeff." He said quickly like it would make it better that he spent a boatload of money on this
"it's too much." I muttered now kinda feeling bad about how I was trying to make him jealous.
Wow I am a bitch. Candy noticing my quick mood change that came with my recent depression due to what I did on her birthday jumped in.
"it's not just from him. Dad told me it from a few other guys as well." She said with a small smile "he knows how much you have been wanting one so he gave in when Dave asked about it"
I just nodded. Jeff tossed in the first movie he grabbed off the shelves. About half way through the movie I got up to pee thanks to my coffee. When I stepped out of the bathroom Dave was waiting for me leaning up against the wall.
"what are you trying to do?" he asked looking up at me kind of looking upset
Be honest or play dumb….. oh decisions decisions
"I guess I was just trying to make you jealous" Honestly won out.
"why? why would you want to make me jealous?" he asked stepping closer to me
I couldn't think of a good reason so I just shrugged. Damn him.
"Well it's working." He muttered before kissing me "I am sorry for hurting you Jul"
Once he pulled away I couldn't look up at him afraid that he would find another reason to not be with me, even though he really had no actual reason to not be with me as I was 18 now. So I am no longer jailbait
"We are going to be missed." I muttered trying to walk past him.
He trapped me up against the wall
"I don't care, I now can do this whenever I want" He whispered before pulling me into a kiss and deepened it
This time I gave in and kissed him back. We were pulled apart by someone clearing their throat. I looked over to find Candy and Jeff grinning
"gee 18 for 9 hours and he couldn't wait till the end of at least one movie" Candy said jokingly
I groaned and banged my head against the wall with a chuckle
"oh Julie you need to stop breaking hearts already." Jeff said laughing.
"oh haha me and R are just friends and he knows it." I said rolling my eyes.
"You guys have 10 minutes. That's it" Candy said before pulling Jeff back down the hall.
"why 10 minutes?" Dave asked staring were candy and jeff just were
"she thinks 10 minutes isnt enough time to have sex and get re dressed."
Dave just looked at me with an eyebrow raised.
"well you asked." I said with a big smile. "wanna try and beat that time?" I asked being a smartass
"As much as I would love to, there is something that is stopping me. We aren't 100 percent together just yet. I don't want this relationship to be just about sex and plus I am afraid of what would happen if Candy caught us" Dave said sounding serious this time
"Well do you want us to be together?" I asked sounding more hopeful than what I wanted to sound
Dave just growled before claiming my lips in another kiss "yes, I do"
That was when I heard someone clear their throat. I looked over and there stood R Truth with his arms crossed
"Julie please explain to me what this is, I thought we had an connection" He said
Truth honestly sounded hurt. Fuck
