Dad was really getting on my last nerves. I mean it was one thing for him to try and control me but now he was telling me who I can and can't be with, as if. After that little spat with my Dad a few ago I needed to clear my head out. Normally I would have gone to see Nick but Dad was on high guard with me and monitoring my every little movement out of his sight. I hated the way he was treating me, like I was a baby he needed to cradle. I was a woman, I could take care of myself and he needed to know that.
Since Dad was having me on guard duty I decided to have a little girl time. Holly, Willa and I were having a sleepover at my house, I hadn't really seen much of the girls with hanging with Nick all the time, plus we were all practicing for sports and Colleges. We did all sorts of girl activities, braiding each other hair, makeovers, baking acks and singing loudly to old show tunes. It reminded me of being a young girl again. It felt good to just be with them again and forget my worries.
Holly was polishing her nails and curling her hair for a good night sleep. She was a girly girl afterall.
"So did you guys hear about what's going on in school lately? She asked." Willa looks up from her iPod saying.
"Yeah a lot of drama. I heard that Principal Munoz has something big planned"
"Whatever it is, it's going to be something good. Her surprises always are"
"Jo what do you think?" They turn towards a preoccupied me.
"Jo? Hello Joelle!"
"Huh, what?" I gaze up from my phone towards them. "Someone say something?"
"Girl what's up with you?"
"What?"
"You've been glued to your phone since we got here"
"Which is a bit rude since you invited us here" Willa says munching on potato chips.
"Sorry girls I've just been a bit preoccupied for a while" I stick my phone under my pillow.
"What's up?" They ask.
"Nothing really that I want to talk about, it's just something between me and Nick"
"Oh trouble in Paradise?" Holly mocks.
I give her a sarcastic smirk "Shut up"
"I'm just saying it it good or bad?"
"It's not bad but it's not all good either" I could see they were confused.
"It's hard to explain. Whatever, it's none of your business anyway"
My phone vibrates under my pillow. Nick was texts me again. I give the girls an awkward smile and reach underneath my pillow.
"Yoink!" They swipe it away.
"My phone! Give me back my phone" I try to grab it back she keeps blocking me.
"Keep away!" Holly tossed it over to Willa who ran around my room with it.
"Not funny give it back to me now!" I chase after them.
"Catch Holly!"
"Got it!"
"I'm serious give it to me!" I raced them all around the room until they locked themselves in my closet.
"Open this door both of you" I bang getting upset but enjoying it too.
"Not until we see what you've been texting"
"No don't read anything."
"Why are they private?" Holly says in a song tune.
"Yes!"
"All the more reason we should read them"
"No don't please" but they started reading it aloud.
"Nicky I must see you again, being away from you is dreadful " Xxxx
"Girls!"
"I would do anything and everything for you kitten" xxxx
"Seriously!"
"How I do so love thee let me count the ways..." Xxxx
"Knock it off!"
"My love burns my heart with fire and lust only for thy fair maiden" xxxxx
"ENOUGH I'M SO NOT MESSING AROUND WITH YOU TWO ANYMORE!"
"Neither are we!"
"Oh check this one out"
"I love you my little surfer boy" xxx
"I love you more my Jojo monkey" xxxx
They start laughing. "Please how sappy can you get? "
"You two are so dead when you come out of there!" I yell.
"Then we'll just stay in here then"
"Hmmm I won how everyone at school will feel if I post these on Snapchat"
"I think they'd be very pleased"
"I wouldn't!" I banged.
"But we would"
"I HATE YOU BOTH!"
"WE LOVE YOU TOO" They slide my phone underneath the door to me
"Thanks" I grab it. "You're both still dead though!" I laughed. I go over to my bed and sit down "And I got all night too"
Nighttime fell upon them. As Jo resided in slumber Holly and Wilka sneak out of the closet at last.
"All clear girl" They both creep towards their sleeping bags.
The lights turn on instantly. "Hello girls" Jo said with a devious smirjy.
"Uh-oh"
"Payback time" i jump them both and begin wrestling them to the ground at once.
"Okay Okay we give up you win"
"Uncle Uncle!"
I release them and Start laughing a bit. We all meet on my bed laughing again.
"I don't know what your deal is Jo"
"Why are you taking your relationship with Nick in such a weird direction?"
I bite my lip "It's just a little things I'm trying to work out"
"With Nick?" They both say.
"With my Dad actually and its affecting me a bit"
"Yeah I understand my Dad outs me on the spot too" Holly says
"Well its a bit more than that. Just a disagreement were toying with"
"Sounds to me like you're playing with fire"
"Feels that way!" I sigh.
Holly pats my shoulder "I'm sure it'll work itself out"
I sigh "I hope so"
There was a faint knock at the door "Yo-hoo"
"Dad don't you know its rude to barge in on a girls" I laugh.
"Just checking on you girls before bed"
"We're fine Dad"
"Hello Mr. Bluebury"
"Hello girls. Have a good night"
"We will Dad" He leave us in peace.
"So you girls want to have some fun?"
"What kinda fun?"
"Any type of fun we want!" Holly jumped up and down on my bed.
Willa and I started laughing and joined her. "Anything is fun when I spend it with you girls" I say.
We all started doing little kid games like dressing up in mismatch clothes and pillow fights. We did it until we were all hyped out but still giggly.
"So what you want to do now?" I ask.
"I've got some sappy romantic comedy movies" Willa says.
"Oh I love romance"
"And I love sappy comedy" We all get cozy together. It was nice to know I had my girls when I needed them.
...
Early the next morning I woke up to the sound of loud mumbling and grunting. When I looked up from my pillow my sister was there loudly grunting and typing on the computer.
"Joelle?"
She looks up from the computer towards me. "Morning sis"
"What are you doing?"
"Checking social media status" She says.
I get up and tiptoe over the girls towards her. I reach for my brush to do my hair.
"I don't believe this!" Joelle huffs.
"Don't believe what?"
"I was just checking Spencers social media"
"Spencer as in the guy who dumped you"
Shge gave me a look "No Jo the other Spencer in my life"
"So what about him?"
"Well I was just about to delete all the online photos of us from my page and I was poking around on his for a moment"
"Wow stalking your ex online, how original" I roll my eyes.
"And I happen to notice he didn't change his status to single. It still say in a relationship, you know what that means?"
"Should I know?"
"It means he's still smitten with me. I bet he's regretting our breakup already" She says so confidentiality.
I give her a narrow look. "That's not what it means"
She scoffs "Of course it is why else would it say that?"
"Maybe because of this.." Turns out Spencer had moved on with another girl already.
"WHAT?! HE FOUND A NEW GIRLFRIEND ALREADY!"
"She's cute"
"Shut up!" She snaps. "In the two weeks we've been apart he has another girl and..." She looked like she was ready to explode and then held her breath.
"You know something... I really don't care"
"Really?" I eye her.
"Yes really. If he wants to throw away all the times we had together, all the moments we shared and every moment I spent with him to be with that tramp then I wish him and her all the best of luck" she said that like she was fine but she was broken inside.
"In fact" she goes to her profile page "There I deleted everything on my page that had to do with him. He wants to forget me, so I don't need him!"
"Of course you don't"
"Now to delete him off my phone" she pulls out her phone going through it.
I roll my eyes and then trip over Willa sleeping bag piling on her.I turn over facing the girls who heard everything we said.
"Your sisters a hot mess" She whispered.
"I know" I whisper back giggling.
"BREAKFAST COME AND GET IT!" Juliet voice echoed up to us. We all go to the halls and bathroom to get ready to start the day.
The girls left as soon as breakfast was done, they had to get home which left me with a whole day to try and blow off.
After a long shower I got dressed in my blue and black dress with my matching purse. Dad was gone for the day and Juliet was taking a long nap no better time to head out.
I walk outside to the door when I heard a pesky voice.
"Where are you going?" Joelle had her arms crossed at me.
I rolled my eyes at her "None of your business, that's where"
"You know Dad said not to leave"
"Dad isn't here"
"He'll come back"
"I'll take my chances" i grab my shades and lipstick.
"Are you going to meet someone"
"My friends, yes"
"And go where?"
"Why are you so interested in my personal life?"
"I'm your sister I should know"
"Not!"
"Just tell me!"
"Fine Willa invited me to go the arcade with her, happy!" I make up some boring excuse.
"The arcade that doesn't sounds so fun".
"Yeah well it is what it is".
" And that's it"
"Well we might go to the movie afterward and that's it"
"There now was that so hard to do" She smiled.
"Yeah I'll be back later" I walk out the door and into the alley. I pulled out my phone and dialed up someone.
"Hello?-Yeah its me.I'm on my way".
I merrily skip my way to Nick's house. He lived in one of those big rich suburban homes and it was beautiful. I walk up the stairs and ring the bell. Before anyone answers I fixed my dress and hair and that's when the door opened up.
"Hey" I smiled and he smiled back.
"Well I wasn't expecting an angel at my door" He flirts. I jump into his arms with a long kiss.
"I missed you" I whispered.
"Me too, I was so alone without you"
"I know but I had to avoid you so my Dad would get off ymy back" I grunt.
"Same with my parents"
"But at least we're together now, let's not waste our time" He pulled my hand inside his house. I had never been to his house before so I was really in awe of how fancy it looked.
"Wow!"
"You like?" He wrapped his arms around me.
"Its lovely" I smile. He shows me all over the house, it was big and empty.
"And the last stop on a tour de Nicholas are my private quarters". His room was big with a HD TV and computer.
" Nice"
"Isn't it!" We sit down on his bed as he turns the stereo on loud as we listen to it.
"So Jo why have you been acting so aloft lately?"
"Well I don't think you would believe me"
He pulls me closer to him. "Try me".
"My Dad doesn't really want me to be with you"
"Why?"
"He's just worried about the kind of guy you are"
He was confused "What does that mean?"
"It's just this thing my Dad has with your parents"
"Something bad?"
"Something from their past he told me about"
"What was it?"
"Your parents could explain it better than what I was told".
He wraps his arms around me. " Whatever it is it will not get in the way of our relationship " He kissed me and suddenly all my worries fade away. I rest on his chest as we lay there together in silence for the hour. I felt sleep come over me before he calls my name.
" You hungry?" He asks and I say yes.
We get up and go to the kitchen for some chips and salsa and drink a couple of glasses of cider then take our snacks to the living room. Nick put on the wrestling match, he was really getting into it, unlike me.
"Man do I love wrestling". He says stuffing chips in his mouth.
"You wrestle? "
"I wish" Then I had an idea.
"If you want I could show you a move or two?" I stand beside him.
"You wrestle?"
I shrug. "More or less"
"Sweet!"
I guide him through a simple flip trick that he does on me. "Wow you learn fast" I grin.
"Its a gift" he boast.
I take a step back and fall over a small stool seat.
"Babe you okay?"
"I'm fine" I reach out to steady myself.
(Loud piano chimes*
"Aaaahh! Oh..." I lift the case revealing a beautiful polished grand piano.
"Oh What a beautiful Piano" I said in awe
"It was left by my aunt in her will. This has been in my family 6 generations" He sits on the chair beside it.
"And it plays like that of a two-bit a symphony orchestra"
"You play piano?"
"A little, never was much of a musician" He plays a note on the keys before saying out of the blue.
"Sing a song for me?" My eyes grew wide.
"I-I don't sing well" i twirl my hair nervous like.
He comes and takes my hand "Somehow I doubt that" He rubs my Palm gently and pleads with those soft brown eyes of his. How could I refuse such a thing.
I gulp hard and start to just sing a melody. Even I knew it was off key, I could hear it.
"See I told you I was no good" I felt so embarrassed.
"No! that was perfect, you sing really well"
"Really?!" I asked or was he just saying that.
"Yes! you really do!" He sits me down right beside him and cuddles me "So sing with that pretty voice of yours"
I blushed red. "Okay here goes" I take a breath in and...
You've never had a real birthday before
Except for the ones you spent outside my locked door
So I'm here, way too late
To help you celebrate
And be your birthday date, if I may (achoo)...
Just follow the string!
I've got big plans! I've got surprises for today!
Nothin' but nothin's gonna get in our way!
I've worked for weeks – planned everything within my power
I even got Kristoff and Sven to take a shower
If someone wants to hold me back
I'd like to see them try
I'm on the birthday plan attack
I'm givin' you the sun, the moon and the sky
I'm makin' today a perfect day for you
I'm makin' today a blast if it's the last thing I do
For everything you are to me
And all you've been through
I'm makin' today a perfect day for you...
"Wow you are amazing!" Nick applauds.
"Thanks your turn now!" I nudge him.
"Me? OK" He takes a breath to sing.
Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
I was mesmerized. I knew he was good at singing but I never expected to him to sing that, for me. I sat next to him saying "You would really have a career doing music"
"Maybe" he shrugged.
I began pressing on random notes till Nick said something.
"How about a little duet action?" He flirts.
I give him a smirk "I can do that but I'll start!"
"I was hoping you'd say that!" He grins.
He cracks his fingers playing on the key board. I find my starting pitch and sing.
JO; Once a lass met a lad
You're a gentle one, said she
In my heart I'd be glad
If you loved me for me
You say your love is true
And I hope that it will be
Nick stood up from the piano and started to sing with me. But I still heard the piano playing in my mind.
NICK; I'd be sure, if I knew
That you loved me for me
We began walking about the garden holding hands and smiling.
JO;Could I be the one you're seeking?
Will I be the one you choose? Can you tell my heart is speaking?
My eyes will give you clues
When we walked by the back porch, I jumped up and behind the little podium. He followed after me and chased me around tIll he tackled me.
NICK;What you see may be deceiving
Truth lies underneath the skin
JO; Hope will blossom by believing
BOTH; The heart that lies within
NICK; I'll be yours
Together we shall always be as one
If you love me for me
He picked up a pink rose and pinned it in my hair. I brushed on his cheek before he walks me back inside with him.
NICK / JO:
I'll be yours! / Who can say where we'll go,
Together we shall always / Who can promise that we'll be
Be as one / But I'll stay by your side
BOTH:
If you love me for me
If you love me for me
After that he stood up and wrapped his arms to my waist as I did to his neck and I kissed him with so much love and passion.
"I love you!" We both said at the same time.
"I've never felt this way before with anyone" He tells me and I knew he spoke the truth.
"I know I just feel so safe with you" I whisper to him.
"You and I could have such a happy life together"
"If my Dad didn't hate you so much I'd be so much happier" I tell him as he laughs.
"You and me both wish that!" He wraps his arms around me.
We headed outside and took a long stroll towards the park. We sat in the sunshine next to the pond watching the world go by and then making out. Hours later it was a moment of staring into each other eyes before I noticed the time.
"I should get going" I start to get up.
"Why the rush sweetie?"
"I'm so sorry I wanna stay but I just can't!" I could see he was upset to leave me too but he smiled.
"Alright go on home if you really need to!"
I kiss him hard in a surprise kiss. We wrapped around each other for a while as we tossed all over the couch kissing.
"I would kiss you forever!"
"Same here" I look into his sweet eyes.
"See you again at school?"
"We'll make a date of it!" I smile.
He kissed me again and walked us back to his house. From there I took the bus back to the garden. I hoped I could just sneak into my room for once.
When I got home the lights were all turned off and it smelled like popcorn. I noticed three figures on the couch glaring at the T.V"
"Uh I'm home!" I smile creeping over by the couch.
"Guys!" I tapped their shoulders and they were all knocked out. I wrap them in a blanket as they all snuggle together.
I laughed creeping upstairs to my room and slipped into a good night sleep dreaming of my love.
Somewhere getting ready for bed, Nick was gazing at a photo of his beloved.
"Together forever" He whispered dreaming of his beloved as she was to him.
The end...of the chapter
Things will soon be heating up for our little lovebirds but until then I'm signing off.
