Chapter 7: Surprise Party.
"Oh My God!" Bianca gasped as she looked around to see where she was. She saw an amazing, white, sparkling boat floating quite steadily on the water. There were Christmas light around it which made it look 'magical'. She was currently standing on the decking and on the boat she could see it was crowded with her family. They remembered. She though in her head but her thoughts were interrupted by children. Most of her little cousins made their way, well more like stampeded, their way over to Bianca. She smiled as they all hugged her around what ever part of her body they could find.
Bianca hugged them and thanked them. She was about to go say thank you to everyone for being there when she stopped to talk to Candice. Candice was currently standing talking to James and Sirius who stood out of the way so they family could greet each other. Bianca made her way over to the little group and hugged Candice straight away.
"Thank you so much."
"No problem but it was really everyone else that organized it. I just got you out of the way by getting a massage by a few sexy men" Candice grinned as they both laughed.
"Which sexy men? I don't remember giving you a massage but I can if you want one" Sirius suggested.
"I know this will probably inflate your ego but you are not the only sexy person in the world" Candice commented.
"But I am one of them" he said not understanding very well. They all rolled their eyes.
"Well I better go say thank you to everyone, but I guess you can have a kiss as well" Bianca said kissing James and Sirius on the cheek.
"Why do we get a kiss?" James asked.
"Duh, we are their sexy men" Sirius said before Bianca answered.
"I was going to say because you came" Bianca said before walking off. When she was out of hearing distance Candice turned to James.
"You better get with her tonight." she said poking him in the chest.
"But she doesn't even like me" James stated looking at Bianca who was now hugging her cousin Ryan.
"Men are so stupid. Of course she does. If I invited guys to her party I would have no head. But when she saw you she didn't kill me. She just smiled. I think you have her approval and if I have to I will keep the family away. Please at least ask her out" Candice practically begged.
"She is right mate. I will distract the family with my good looks or something" Sirius agreed in an arrogant matter as Candice snorted.
"I will" With that they walked onto the boat and stood in the corner so they weren't force-fed by the family. Not that Sirius would mind.
Bianca had finally thanked the family for coming to the party and made her way to her cousin and friends waiting in the corner.
"... and the moment you have all been waiting for, Birthday girl has arrived" she announced walking like and model and doing a dramatic pose. The two cousins started laughing, but the boys exchanged glances of confusion.
"This is the part where you fall to you knees and say 'I have been waiting for this moment all night. I love you sexy, gorgeous thing "Bianca said looking at them. They thought for like a second before they both dropped to their knees.
"I have been waiting for this moment all night. I love you sexy, gorgeous thing" James and Sirius chorused at the same time.
"Good boys" Bianca said patting them on the head as they stood up again.
"You smell nice" James commented as Sirius agreed.
"Yeah you smell like Strawberry and Candie smells like Vanilla" Sirius commented licking his lips. They all shook their heads.
"I would love to tell you but it is a long story and this is my favorite song. Who is going to dance with me?" Bianca stated looking at them. Candice stepped forward without thinking and they waited for the boys to follow.
"We will wait for the next one" Sirius commented.
Bianca and Candice raised their eyebrows and put their hands on their hips, "You do know how to dance, right?"
"Yeah, of course. We just want to wait. We don't want to be killed on the dance floor by all your relatives" James said.
"The next song you are definitely dancing and don't worry. They wont kill you" Bianca insisted as she and Candice walked to the middle of the dance floor and started doing the Macarena. They boys smiled as they watched Candice and Bianca start out doing the Macarena, but soon it developed into dancing very close together. Almost toughing. They saw them whisper something to each other before spinning in circles and shaking their hips more.
The boys were amazed that they could spin so fast in those heels and how they weren't dizzy. They both gulped watching girls dancing as they laughed together.
"They are staring at us" Bianca said to Candice on the dance floor.
"Well let's give them something to stare at" Candice said dancing closer to her cousin. Bianca wasn't surprised by this behavior because she has danced with her cousin many times and didn't really care. She was seventeen after all.
"Just spin a few times and shake those hips" Candice said. They looked at James and Sirius through the corner of their eyes as they both gulped. They smirked and continued dancing.
The boys were standing in the corner and saw the girls smirking. James realized what just happened but Sirius was too busy staring at Candice's backside to care. This was very risky as a group of men made their way towards them.
Please don't kill us. James thought as he nudged Sirius. They watched as the group stood in front of them and gave them a once over.
"Who are you?" one of the boys asked.
"James and Sirius" James answered trying to keep his cool in an intimidating crowd.
"Why are you here? You are definitely not family" he boy said again.
The two Marauders didn't know what to say. They couldn't say that they came with the birthday girl and her cousin.
-----
Bianca and Candice were on the dance floor dancing normally with their family. Their little cousins Tanisha and Tiana were holding on their hips, as the girls swayed side to side making them dizzy at the speed they were going.
Bianca was dancing with Tanisha because she refused to dance with her sister. Apparently she could find the pink undies and came to the conclusion that Candice took it. Candice has been given the silent treatment ever since. Bianca smiled at her cousin when she noticed that she couldn't see James and Sirius. Instead she could see Ryan, Koby, Casey and Cole stand in front of them with very serious looking faces.
"Tanisha I have to go, but I will promise to dance with you two times later. Ok" Bianca said. Tanisha nodded and walked away from her cousin smiling. Bianca ran to Candice and dragged her in their friend's direction.
"What's your name?" Sirius asked lamely, trying to by them some time as they prepare to die.
"You won't remember in a few seconds if you don't tell us why you are here" Ryan said again cracking his knuckles.
Bianca and Candice made it just in time and stood in front of the boys as they sighed in relief, although not too obviously.
"Who are they?" Koby asked this time.
"They are our friends. Why do you need to know?" Candice asked folding her arms across her chest.
"Why do you need to know, why we need to know?" Casey asked not sure if that really made sense. The alcohol was kicking in already.
"Listen here. They are our friends and they are not going anywhere so you can leave us alone for the night. Go ahead and tell my brother for all I care. All I know is that right now you are ruining my party, and getting on my nerves" Bianca said putting her hands on her hips. The boys looked at her and could tell she was furious. They put their hands up in the air and glared at the boys before walking away.
"Bianca, do you have any idea what you just did?" Candice asked slightly surprised.
"Yes I do and I don't really care what Nick thinks anymore. Can we just go back to having a good time and getting these two to dance with us?" Bianca sighed looking at the boys who smiled sheepishly.
"No one is going to kill you so come on" Candice and Bianca dragged the boys onto the dance floor as another good song came on:
Tell me what do we do
When the DJ's playin our favorite groove
We step
To when
The whole night through
As the sound begun Bianca noticed that James looked slightly nervous.
"Don't worry. I know you can dance, I can tell, but you need to loosen up. No one will kill you and if they try I will save you" she said as she grabbed his hand and they started dancing to the music. They were both having a good time and didn't feel awkward, everything felt natural and that they enjoy the most.
And what do we do
When where all dressed up and in the mood
We step
To what
A steppers groove
They slowly started dancing closer but they wouldn't take it too far because they were surrounded by family and were both shy. Well Bianca was shy but James preferred to think of it as 'weirdish'. That was the best word he could come up with at the time.
Where do we go soon as the weekend gets here
The club
Why
To party and have some fun
What is it that,
Can come and take away all your stress, tell me
Music
No further questions, you have passed my test
Bianca was happy dancing and didn't notice that most of the people in the room were looking at them, smiling or even worse whispering to each other. She heard her aunty, who is a helpless romantic, coo at the sight of them, making her blush a deeper shade of red.
Happy people
(yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
Keeps the world turnin, turnin, turnin
Oh I believe that, happy people
(yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
Keep us dancin, dancin, dancin
Happy people
(yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
Keep us steppin,keep us steppin,steppin
Happy people
(yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
Keeps us groovin,groovin,groovin
Bianca and James were dancing and didn't care what anyone else thought of it. They twirled and laughed with each other right through the chorus. The noticed that Candice was dancing with Sirius although much closer then expected.
I wanna get dressed,
I wanna go out,
Can you tell me where the spot is?
Where the party is all night,
And everybody's havin a good time
The DJ standing in the corner said a big happy birthday to Bianca and encouraged for more couples to join on the dance floor. Of course the DJ was her thirty- year old cousin.
I wanna get nice,
I wanna get loud,
Can you tell me where the spot is?
Come on and take me to that place,
Where there aint nuthin but happy-
More couples joined the floor but not to much so it wasn't that crowded. Bianca and James edged their way over to Candice and Sirius. When they were finally acknowledgedthey spoke.
"This is the tricky part, so we are going to teach you" Bianca started, "First you step to the left them to the right, spin us around twice then bob. Once you have done that you stand up properly again. Step forward step back and hold us until the words are repeated."
The boys just looked at them, "Just how do we know when to start?" James asked.
"The words will tell you what to do, just listen" Candice explained. "Ready?"
Step to the left, step to the right
Spin around and bring it down tonight
Bring it on up, move in close
Let me see you and your partner stroll
The boys were a bit confused at first but listened to the words and understood. The words repeated a few times and they got the hang of it until they were dancing smoothly. It was easy for them to learn because everyone else on the dance floor was doing it so they just had to copy and let the girls lead... for a while.
"You're a fast learner" Bianca said as James put his hand on her hip swaying slightly before spinning her.
"If only I was as fast a learner at Charms then this" James said.
"Well what is your best subject?" Bianca asked stepping side to side.
"Transfiguration, what's yours?"
"Charms and Potions" Bianca answered smiling.
"You're kidding right?"
"No, why?" she asked confused. He didn't answer straight away because the music stopped and they headed off the dance floor to get a drink.
"Padfoot, her favorite subjects are Charms and Potions" James emphasized the last few words.
"Eww, why?" Sirius asked in a girlish manner, looking at her as if she had AIDS.
"Because it is interesting" Bianca and Candice answered at the same time.
"Not you too" Sirius said looking at Candice.
"What's wrong with Potions?" Candice asked, sensing it was more about Potions then Charms.
"Don't you like burn yourself and stuff?" Sirius questioned
"Well Potions is like cooking and not everyone is good at cooking. Candice is crap" Bianca pointed
"No I'm not"
"Candice the last time you tried to cook spaghetti you burnt the pot, spaghetti was everywhere, you couldn't see where you were going because there was so much smoke and you blamed your younger sister" Bianca said knowingly.
Candice just smiled sheepishly, "Well maybe I am not the best cook in the world but I can make a few things. Besides I am getting better now. I have been watching your mum do it"
"I'm sure" Bianca said.
"Ok, let's talk about something else." Candice said getting bored and tired of being picked on.
At that moment Tanisha came to their side. She tapped Bianca on the leg. Bianca looked down at her and smiled.
"What can i do for you sexy Nisha?"
"I have two things to tell you" she said holding up two fingers.
"Ok, go ahead"
"Who are those boys?" she asked pointing to James and Sirius although she tried to whisper, they heard. James and Sirius bent down to her level.
"I'm James and this is my friend Sirius" James said as they both kissed her on the cheek. She blushed a bit.
"You know you look so pretty in that dress maybe we should go out some time and I will buy you an ice cream" Sirius said smiling at her as she jumped up and down with excitement.
The girls shook their heads. He was already going out with her sister and had to flirt with the younger one as well.
"Tanisha, what else did you have to tell me?" Bianca asked again.
"Oh, Jordy, Keagan, Jamey, Nicolas and Jesse are fighting again and they won't listen to their mummy and daddy so you have to go and stop them"
"Where are they?" Candice asked. Tanisha looked at her sister and didn't answer.
"Where are they?" James asked.
"On the outside of the boat" she said meaning the decking.
"Thank you honey" Bianca said.
The group of four minus Tanisha went onto the decking to find five boys wrestling and fighting with each other.
"Why don't they listen to their parents?" James asked.
"I don't know, the same reason you didn't listen to your when you were younger. They think their parents are too old to boss them around, that's why they only listen to us." Bianca answered.
"And if they don't listen then we pull their and make them" Candice added. "Don't worry, not too hard" she said looking at their worried faces.
"What is going on here?" Bianca asked in a normal voice. The boys froze with what they were doing. Jamey was on Jordy's back and they were both attacking Keagan. Nicolas was punching Jesse in the arm as he ran around a table.
They all tidied themselves up and stood in a line from youngest to oldest. James and Sirius were amazed at how they knew what was coming. They were all holding their heads.
"Why are you fighting now?" Candice asked.
They all started talking at once blaming and pointing to each other trying to make themselves heard.
"OK, one at a time" Bianca said. "Jordy, you are the oldest, why don't you tell me"
"Well, it all started when Adin started crying and ran away. I got angry and told Keagan not to hurt him, then he punched me and insulted the others... and that is all I remember."
"Well if it all started with Adin, where is he?" Candice asked.
" I don't know" they all shrugged.
"Well just stop fighting, this is a party and you have to behave yourself at least for tonight. Agreed?" Bianca asked sternly but with a hint of kindness in her voice. They all nodded and walked away.
Once the deck was cleared and the only people standing on it were Bianca, James, Candice and Sirius Bianca sighed.
"You can come out now Adin" she said as she and Candice looked at the table. Adin's head appeared from under the table and he looked around. He smiled and came towards them.
"You cheeky little thing. You didn't hurt your arm, you just wanted to see them fight" Candice said smiling all the same. James and Sirius snorted. They thought it was a good idea for a 7 year old to come up with.
"I'm sorry, but it is really funny" Adin said.
"Don't do again, at least not tonight anyway." Bianca said before Adin ran away and couldn't be seen through the crowd.
"Your family is tricky, smart, funny and big" Sirius said as she girls shook their heads.
"Yeah, we like to call them the 'Street Kids' because they are always running the street and coming up with a lot of things that will get them in trouble." Candice said.
"Really, like what?" James asked.
"Well this one time, the boys thought it would a cool idea to start a bon fire" Bianca said.
"So?" the boys said in unison.
"In the house" Bianca finished and they started laughing, "Luckily we got there in time and nothing and no one was burnt, thank God"
"Why did they make a bon fire in the house?" Sirius asked once he recovered from smiling.
"They wanted to roast marshmallows" Candice shrugged as they made their way back inside, where the music was playing.
"Wow, definately street kids" James said.
"Yeah, they keep us busy. i can tell you that much" Bianca said.
The rest of the night was filled with dancing, laughing and drinking for the adults. It was about two-thirty in the morning and almost everyone had left. Bianca thought it was a bit strange but put her thoughts aside. Candice and Sirius were sitting on the couch while Bianca and James were helping the family carry the children into the car.
Earlier that night James met Bianca's parents.
Flashback...
"Mum, dad. This is James Potter. He has been living in his family holiday house opposite us" Bianca introduced. James smiled shook hands with her father and kissed her mothers hand.
"Nice to meet you James. I'm Gabriella, this is my husband Brian"
"Nice too meet you too"
"You're a Potter so I am guessing you have magical ability?" Brian asked.
"Yes Sir" James answered unsure if he was making a good impression.
"What do you want to be when you leave school?"
"An Auror, like my parents. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be one" James told.
Brian seemed to have liked that answer as he smiled. Bianca and James inside both sighed with relief. it was obvious from the moment James kissed her mother's hand she liked him, but her father finally warmed up to him.
"Very good. Can I ask, why did your parents buy a holiday house in the middle of a muggle street?" Gabriella asked.
"My mother finds it fascinating the muggle live and call it her home away from home. I asked her the same question and that is what she told me. I hope you understand it because I don't" James stated.
"Yes" Bianca and her mother said at the same time.
"No" Brian said before laughing and patting James on the back." Well I'll see you around right James?"
"Yes Sir" James answered shaking his hand.
"It's Brian. Sir makes me sound too old." Brian said before turning around. He stopped once more and said. "If your friend is anything like you then I hope to see more of you"
Gabriella and Bianca smiled at James who looked in Sirius direction, slightly worried. Lord help us. He thought to himself.
Candice, you owe me big time. Bianca thought to herself before leaving her mother and finding Candice and Sirius.
End Flashback...
Bianca was carrying Baby Candice and James was carrying Tanisha to the car waiting outside. They handed to two sleeping girls over to their parents before wishing them good bye; closing the door and watching them drive off.
"Well no more children to carry. We can relax now" Bianca said walking back onto the boat. She said Sirius and Candice sitting on a couch. Candice with her head on his shoulder and Sirius arm around her waist.
"I am so tired" Candice sighed.
"I'm sorry but we were to ones who carried your sister and cousins to the car" Bianca said pointing to her and James who was stretching.
"I sprained my ankle" Candice and Sirius said at the same time, obviously their excuse.
"You guys are lazy shits" James said.
"You don't even know me" Candice said raising her eyebrows.
"But I do and I agree" Bianca said sticking up for him. After all he did help her carry family members to the car, including her drunken cousin who passed out on the dance floor. He also got into her fathers good books. Only her brother was left.
Gabriella and Brian appeared and stood in front of the resting teenagers.
"Mum I thought you guys left" Bianca said standing up.
"We are going to now. You do have to come you can stay longer besides someone has to drive your car back... preferably not Candice." Gabriella said
"Hey" was all that could be heard from Candice.
"When you are finished here are the keys. Lock up and leave the keys on the dining room table. I will take them back in the morning." her mother finished.
Bianca thanked her parents as they drove off. She turned around and found Candice and Sirius almost asleep and James looking at her.
"Just you and me now" he said resting his arm on the backrest of the sofa. She sat down again next to him and rolled her head, cracking a few sore places.
"Thanks for coming tonight" she said, kicking her shoes off and folding her legs under her.
"I had a good time. Now i know what it is like to be apart of your family and how hectic things get. I think we must have stopped the boys fighting over five times" James said thinking back to the events.
"I think it was six times" Bianca giggled.
"Right" he answered.
At that moment Candice moved in her sleep. Sirius, who was also in his sub-conscience state grabbed her but and squeezed it before relaxing more into the couch. Bianca and James tried so hard to contain their laughter, which was waiting to be released. They started snorting and couldn't hold it in any more.
They both burst out laughing clutching their stomachs. They had tears in their eyes once their laughing died down.
"Crap, now I am going to look like a panda, with black running eyeliner" Bianca commented wiping her eyes.
"Let me see" James said putting his hand on her chin, looking into her eyes.
"Um... how does it look?" Bianca asked finding hard to concentrate. He was warm and she couldn't now feel his breath on her cheek. Their faces were a few inches apart.
Oh My God, this is really happening, and on my birthday. Bianca thought just before their lips collided.
They sat there for a moment before kissing each other softly. Bianca's arms slid around his neck and her wrapped her up in his strong arms. Soon they began to increase their pace and were fully snogging.
They had to stop to breathe before they suffocate. They broke apart to see Candice and Sirius smiling at them. They blushed.
"Don't you dare say it." Bianca said getting up, putting her shoes back on and grabbing her bag.
"Say what? I wasn't going to say anything" Candice grinned as she followed her cousin. James walked behind them and Sirius followed him like a dog waiting for food.
It was four-thirty in the morning and they just locked up the boat and made their way to the car.
"I'll drive" Sirius said taking the keys.
"Do you think we should let him?" Bianca asked James.
"Yeah it should be ok, but drive in the speed limit, even if it is four-thirty" James said as Bianca got in the back seats. He soon followed and Candice sat in the passenger seat.
"Are you cold?" James asked as he sat in the back seat with Bianca, his arm around her.
"No" she lied. He raised his eyebrows.
"Fine, a little bit" she said again smiling and shaking her head. He wrapped his arms tightly around her until she stopped him.
"Watch this." Bianca said. She sat up and put her mouth by Candie's ear.
"CANDICE ARE YOU AWAKE?" Bianca yelled as Candice shot up in her seat. She looked around and groaned.
"Is this the thanks I get for that amazing party we just had?"
"You didn't organize it" Bianca told.
"So, I helped" Candice retorted.
"Whatever" Bianca said sitting back. She saw James look at her in amusement.
"You are evil" he said.
"Aww, I do it out of love" she said.
"We are home" Sirius said pulling the car into the driveway. They got out of the car and faced each other.
The girls kissed their boyfriends and walked inside quietly. The boys made their way across the road and went straight to their rooms.
When the boys reached their room they did the usual. Stripped off their clothes until they were in their boxer shorts. They dumped their clothes in a pile on the floor and collapsed on their beds for a few hours of sleep.
"Nice work, mate" Sirius said
"Ha! Thanks" James answered smiling up at the ceiling.
"But if it was me, I would have grabbed her arse. She has a nice one, just like her cousin" Sirius added. James through a pillow across the room.
"Hey! That is my girlfriends you are talking about" He said and before he fell asleep he thought about how good that sounded.
Meanwhile...
Candice and Bianca walked up to their room and changed into their pajamas. They didn't worry to shower; they could do that in a few hours. They walked to the bathroom and brushed their teeth. Candice, as tired as she was, couldn't stop smiling at Bianca.
"Would you stop" Bianca said looking at her cousin through the mirror.
"Stop what?" Candice asked innocently, obvious that she was getting on Bianca's nerve.
"You know what. You keep looking at me. I know you too well so you might as well say it." Bianca sighed wetting her brush and continued brushing.
"I told you so! I told you so! Me that's right, I did" Candice said. She smiled and kept brushing.
"Are you better now?"
"Much better thank you. But how do you feel? You are finally going out with the hottie" Candice commented.
Bianca rolled her eyes but smiled because she knew her cousin was right... for once.
"I don't know, good I guess" Bianca said.
"I am sure it is more than that but i am too tired to ask. Tell me more after we sleep" Candice said as she rinsed her mouth and left Bianca in the bathroom.
Bianca finished and walked into her room to see Candice standing by the window. She knew very well that Sirius was probably there.
"Sirius is not there" Candice said, she already knew what Bianca was thinking.
"Then what are you looking at?" Bianca asked joining her at the window.
Candice simply pointed to the sky where the moon was shining. A full moon to be exact.
"What a night" Bianca commented.
"Yeah, and it is my turn next" Candice said turning to face her cousin smiling. Her mood can have dramatic changes when she was tired.
"I know and it will be really good" Bianca answered getting into bed which Candice soon followed in doing.
"Goodnight, you old fart" Candice said, grinning.
Bianca kicked her under the covers.
"OW, I was kidding"
Whatever. Goodnight" Bianca said rolling on her stomach and squeezing her pillow.
They both relaxed hoping to get as much sleep as possible.
