Chapter 4:
"This is honestly the best pizza I've ever had in my life. Those hands of yours are magic!" Emily exclaimed going in for her third slice of pizza.
"And even better, it's healthy!" I replied which of course was an added bonus, and I think that was the only reason that Hanna was eating it, apart from the magnificent taste that is.
"So when are your brothers coming home?" Aria asked as if she wasn't too worried and Spencer nodded in agreement. Wow, this was sad and kinda gross.
"Who cares? We get the whole house to ourselves!" Hanna exclaimed stretching out in the armchair she had plopped herself in. This caused me to crack up while Aria and Spencer blushed. Emily and Hanna exchanged confused looks causing me to laugh harder.
"Spencer and Aria are in looove!" I teased emphasis on the love.
"We are not! Not love anyway." Spencer said defensively.
"Woah! Newbie knows about your love life before us? Spill." Hanna urged.
"Newbie am I? Ouch," I teased, "And yes when it involves my brothers." I shuddered at the last part.
"Nice, I meant they're hot!" Hanna laughed noticing the disgruntled look I had.
"Which one Spencer?" Emily giggled pulling a photo of my brothers and I off the fireplace next to the couch her and Spencer were lounged on.
"The one on the left, Jesse. Aria has... a thing with Blake, that one." Spencer giggled.
"You guys are gross!" I said digging my face into the pillow when the conversation began to involve sexual innuendo's.
"Sorry what about my brother, Mike?" Aria said in a mocking tone.
"I kissed him that one time, no big deal." I shrugged, I meant sure I liked Mike, but there was Noel as well. Such a hard life.
"Well I think it's time for snooping." Hanna said jumping out of her seat. When the other girls gave her a quizzical look she continued.
"Jesse and Blake's rooms of course. You both are like with them or whatever, I think we need to find out some dirt on them." Hanna shrugged heading to the stairs.
"Oh sounds like fun!" I said racing up the stairs with Hanna, the others in tow looking unsure. Dashing into Blake's room first Hanna began to roam draws, Spencer looked meaningfully at the books he had scattered around his room, while Aria and Emily sat awkwardly on his bed, flipping through a yearbook.
"You'll be getting into these soon wont you?" Hanna giggled throwing a pair of Blake's boxers at Aria.
"You're gross Han." Aria said slowly moving them from her face playing with the soft fabric in her hands.
"But you like!" I exclaimed falling onto the bed. I landed on something hard and placed my hands underneath the covers looking for what it was.
"What's that?" Spencer questioned as I took the object out.
"Oh god! I remember this!" I exclaimed opening the small wooden block, incidentally a disguised diary.
"Our teachers a few years back made everyone keep a journal, Blake and Jesse were so embarrassed they disguised theirs." I exclaimed.
"Looks like Blake still writes in it." Spencer said noticing the last date was last night.
"I think we should find Jesse's and read them together." Hanna said a cheeky glint in her eye.
"Wait here!" I said dashing into Jesse's room, grabbing his, and rushing back.
"How did you know where it was?" Emily wondered, probably respecting Jesse's privacy.
"Easy, he has a bajillion colognes, it was bound to be hidden amongst them."
"Oh this is from last night as well, seems your brothers love their little journals." Hanna giggled,
"Pashed Spencer tonight, she is amazing kisser. Much better than the rest. Think she likes me too, score!
9/10 body - love the curves, needs to own it more.
10/10 kissing - mind blowing.
8.5/10 sanity - seems perfectly normal. refreshing, don't know well enough.
9.9/10 hotness - Wow!" Hanna finished lying on the bed in a fit of laughter. Emily had a look that was crossed between that was funny read more and we shouldn't be doing this, Aria was in a fit of giggles on Blake's computer chair absentmindedly spinning in it, while Spencer had gone bright red from her position on the Blake's bean bag.
"Wow! That's actually amazing for Jesse's standards. Like actually girls usually are lucky to get a nine, never heard of a ten. You must be spectacular at kissing to get a score like that!"
"Now for Blake's!" Hanna said picking Blake's journal up.
"Everything about Aria is beautiful, she's like nothing else. Her beauty seems effortless and her..." Hanna began.
"What are you doing?!" Blake yelled from the doorway, Jesse, Noel and Mike at his side.
"Shit!" Hanna exclaimed dropping both diaries on the bed.
"Nikita! You didn't!" Blake screamed. The anger that was boiling in Blake seemed like a cue for everyone else to leave because after a painful long second all the girls had fled into the lounge with Mike and Noel.
"I can't believe you Nikita!" Jesse screeched taking his journal from Blake's bed and leaving with it.
"How much did you read?" Blake asked, "HOW MUCH DID YOU READ?"
"Only a sentence of yours, I swear!" I replied quickly rushing into a corner of Blake's room.
"And of mine?" Jesse seethed rushing back into the room.
"Just your ratings, honestly it was nothing bad! Spencer of course was honored and Aria probably likes you more than she already does!" My voice was shaky and near a whisper. I had backed myself into a small corner and they were steadily blocking me in. Although I hate to say it, I was always scared when my brothers got like this. They had never hurt me per say, they usually hit a wall if they were angry with me, but if it was with a guy... it wasn't his lucky day.
"I'm sorry! Please, I'm sorry." I apologized letting a stray tear fall down my cheek.
"We didn't mean to make you cry Niki!" Jesse said noticeably relaxing and pulling me into his embrace.
"You can read it, not your friends!" Blake exclaimed joining in on the hug.
"So are you guys like official with them yet?" I laughed after a few seconds breaking the family hug.
"No unfortunately." Jesse shrugged falling onto Blake's beanbag. I was lying on the bed throwing a small ball up and down and Blake was replacing what we had removed.
"I'd like to be though." Blake said and Jesse nodded in agreement.
"What about you and Mike? Or is it Noel?" Blake asked shaking his head, and they both gave me a disappointed look.
"What?" I asked defensively.
"You promised there would be no more shit this year, you've already got two guys fighting for you and school hasn't even started yet." Jesse reminded me.
"Hay! It's not my fault they're both into me!" I said raising my hands.
"Well you better decide which one you want!" Blake warned before heading downstairs Jesse in tow. I tossed the ball away before rubbing my face with my hands. Of course my brothers were right, I had to decided between the two boys before I hurt someone, it's just the choice was so hard!
"Hay Nikita, you okay?" Noel said from the doorway. He was wearing a black tight fitting t-shirt that emphasized his muscular figure, he wore jeans in an effortless way and his dark hair was done in that I-don't-really-care-but-I'm-hot type of way.
"Fine." I sighed as Noel took a seat next to me on the bed.
"I'm sure your brothers didn't mean to blow off at you like that." Noel comforted, concern was the emotion in his eyes.
"It's not that, just... not mentally prepared for school tomorrow." I half lied grasping his hand.
"Lucky for you, you'll have me." Noel winked, I murmured something else along the line of yeah lucky, but there seemed to be an undeniable chemistry between Noel and I. Before long Noel had slowly began to move his face towards mine, I angled my chin up and our kiss seemed so calming and peaceful, while feeling right. Was it the same feeling of Mike's? No. Was either better? No. Did I know what guy I was going to chose? No, that only confused me more. These were the thoughts that flowed through me as Noel made his way down to the group. I slowly pulled myself of the bed and made my way down the stairs.
"You got a text." Jesse said chucking my phone at me. Weird unknown number.
Unknown:
Someone's been a naughty girl! Better make a decision, you're time is running out. - A
I opened the attachments with sweaty palms and looked at the photo's the first one was of Mike and I pashing and the second Noel and I, seconds ago. I worriedly looked around the room, they all seem unfazed, and I knew it was none of them that had sent the message, plus I had all of their numbers. Did I just hear a giggle from outside? Was that a flash of blonde by the window.
"Anything important? You look worried." Mike asked with a worried look on his own face.
"Nothing, just a friend from New York." I said throwing my phone on the table and joining the conversation.
