"My dad will never let us leave wearing these outfits" Phoebe says coming out of her closet. I try to be discreet with my ogling of her.
"That is what oversized winter coats and leggings are for" Joni says resting already dressed.
Ava and Joni settled on a long sleeve gray turtleneck crop top and a leather pleated high waist skirt for Phoebe, a white strapless sweetheart top with black skinny jeans for me, and a retro emerald green velvet long sleeve with a belt for Ava giving cinching her giving an exaggerated waist and bust.
I slowly make my way over to her as she is standing in front of the mirror pulling at her skirt. "I look weird" she says softly.
"I think you look beautiful" I whisper into her ear and kiss her neck.
"No, we look beautiful" she says turning in my arms. She kisses my lips softly. It is so strange being able to touch and kiss her in front of people.
"Do you really think this is going to work?" Ava asks applying light make up as Joni suggested.
"Yes, every other girl at the party will be caked up with makeup" Joni says getting up to adjust Ava's hair. "We, my fine friend, will be fresh faced daises, that and also I hate wearing makeup."
"Are you girls ready yet?" Teddy asks popping his head through the door. Phoebe hastily dislodges herself from me trying to make it look as though she was adjusting my shirt. "What the fuck are you wearing?" Teddy seethes coming fully into the room.
"Baby, keep your voice down" Joni grits out closing the door behind him.
"Don't baby me" he whisper yells. "My fifteen year old little sister and cousin are wearing a skirt short enough to give easy access to every guy at the damn party."
"First, I we are sixteen" Phoebe says. "Second, I promise not a single boy at that party will be permitted access to anything under my skirt."
"I know that's right" I growl softly in her face.
"Well…" Ava says looking decidedly away
"No, you aren't…what the hell is that?" he asks finally noticing Joni. "What are you wearing? No, no, you guys are not going out dressed like this. I will be fighting all night, no."
"Teddy, baby" Joni says molding her body to his. She begins to whisper in his ear and waves behind her back.
"Get your coats on" I whisper. I usher Phoebe and Ava into the hallway after they put on the hat and scarfs.
"She is going to sex him into compliance" Ava giggles.
"Shhh…" Phoebe urges as we approach Christian and Ana in the kitchen.
"You girls look…cozy" Ana says.
"Most of the party will be outside so we don't want to cold" Ava lies smoothly.
"What about when the party moves inside?" Christian asks.
"Hmm…" Phoebe asks scratching her neck. "Inside you say…"
"We have to leave now" Teddy says running down the stairs, pulling Joni down behind him.
"Why so fast?" Christian asks suspiciously.
"The faster we leave the faster we can come back" Joni says kissing the side of Teddy's face. She is bundled up as well.
"Have fun kids" Ana says holding on to Christians arm.
"Thanks, mom" Phoebe says ushering us all out.
"I can't believe that worked" Ava says as we hop in the car.
"Shadow man" Joni whispers before she reaches for the door handle.
"Jay we talked about this" Teddy says grabbing her arms. "This is Jameson he is my CPO."
"Or that is what he wants you to think so he can take us to the secondary location and kill us all" Joni argues.
"I have known him since I was twelve" Teddy emphasizes.
"So he is playing the long game I see" Joni says leaning forward to Jameson in the driver seat. "I am on to you."
"We cannot binge watch Criminal Minds anymore" Teddy says shaking his head. "It is warping your mind."
"Or is it sharpening my mind" she questions.
Honestly, you sound crazy I think from the back seat, but when everyone turns to look at me I realize… I said it out loud. "My bad."
"Let's just go to this party and have a good time" Phoebe says smiling brightly at me.
Two hours later
"I don't feel too good" I groan sloped over the toilet. I feel the alcohol trying to work its way out through my stomach.
"I know, baby" Phoebe says rubbing my back.
"I love you" I admit trying to pull her into a kiss.
"You just threw up" she protests.
"But I love you" I whine. "I am gay for you."
"I am gay for you too" she laughs.
"I want to be gay all the time" I say grabbing her face.
"You are gay all the time" she says pulling away.
"I don't want to hide my gay for you" I say wiping drool from my face. "I want to be gay in front of people."
"Okay" she says to my surprise.
"Okay?" I ask in shock.
"I want to be gay with you in public" she says kissing my forehead. I smile right before I go head first in the toilet throwing up.
She is Gay for me.
