Hello. This is going to be my last update for a while. I got school again. Do you know how much that pisses me off that I won't be updating much? I might do little chapters in school when the teachers ain't looking. I did that once, my close friend and I went on Facebook and Twitter with our computers turned and the teacher sat on her ass not paying attention. When that class ended we found out that she was going to be our form tutor lol. I'm probably going to do this in Maths and English so hope for some during the days! Auf Wiedersehen! Now this is a week after the 'party'.
Today my Mom's brother and sister were coming round for dinner with their families. When I was little I saw both of them but Jesse hasn't met them yet. He wants to make a good impression but he doesn't really have to, Aunt Reneé and Uncle Bryan are alright. Mom and Bryan are twins which is really funny. They are exact opposites whereas Jesse and I are alike. It was four a.m in the morning when there was a knock on my door.
"Come in!" I shouted. Jesse came in and closed the door. I thought we had been through this? He'll be alright, they'll love him.
"Can I talk to you?" He asked. I rubbed my eyes and opened my duvet up and Jesse got in under it.
"What about?" I yawned and turned to face him.
"Girls." He said. I hit him and he groaned, rubbing his arm. "Why did you do that for?" He asked me. I glared at him and hit him again.
"You woke me up just because of girls?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Not just any 'girls'. I'm talking about our cousins." He said. I looked at him and stopped glaring.
"Oh. Well there's Phoebe, she's 26. She has a son and she's married. Then there's Hilary, she's our age. She's a couple of days older though. She's not a crazy fan." I laughed. "Then Jake. He's 18. So he won't be a crazy girl fan. Uncle Bryan only has Benjamin. Ben is 4 years old. So the only girls that are our cousins are all older than us and are not crazy fans. Is that ok?" I asked him. He visibly sighed in relief. "Would it be better if Nate came?" I asked.
"Oh yeah! Thanks, sis. You rock." We fist bumped and I turned, going back to sleep. "So about Amelia. I heard she broke up with her boyfriend..." He started. I rolled my eyes and turned back to face him. I nodded a 'go on' and he continued. "Can you help me write a song for her? Well it will be your song obviously but can you help?" What was with people asking me to take credit for their songs?
"Sure." I got up and leaned against the headboard and turned the lamp on beside me. I unlocked my drawer and got my book out, placing the key on the table under the lamp again. I don't mind Jesse knowing where it is. To be honest, I was actually thinking about a song for Amy. I had written the song a couple of days ago but never showed anyone. "Hey, how about this?" I asked Jesse. He turned and sat legs-crossed. He nodded for me to continue.
[Chorus:]
Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
Thought you were the perfect lover
All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Now you gotta find another
Now you're talkin' crazy, sayin' that you made me
Like I was your Cinderella
You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
I'mma do it acapella, yeah [x2]
[Verse 1:]
Once upon a time, I met the perfect guy
He had that Colgate smile, he had that suit & tie
Mama always said "get a rich boyfriend,
You don't gotta love 'em, girl, you can pretend"
You bet I totes believed her, yeah, every word she said
Thought he was gluten-free, but all that I got was bread
Mama always said "nice guys finish last,
Beat him at his own game, honey, take the cash"
[Pre-Chorus:]
Ooh, and what a lucky girl you will be
But no, he didn't do jack for me
I want a bean with the beanstalk
And if the magic ain't right, time to walk
[Chorus:]
Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
Thought you were the perfect lover
All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Now you gotta find another
Now you're talkin' crazy sayin' that you made me
Like I was your Cinderella
You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
I'mma do it acapella, yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'mma do it acapella, yeah
[Verse 2:]
Out on our first date, he took me gourmet
We hit that Olive Garden, my Little Italy
Daddy always said "let the gentleman pay,
Never ever go Dutch at the buffet"
I saw his bad intention, he didn't wanna talk
He put the saucy on it (Oops!) time to check my watch
Daddy always said "money can't buy class,
You don't wanna get stuck takin' out trash"
[Pre-Chorus:]
Ooh, and yeah I guess it wasn't meant to be
Because he didn't do jack for me
I want a bean with the beanstalk
And if the magic ain't right, time to walk
[Chorus:]
Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
Thought you were the perfect lover
All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Now you gotta find another
Now you're talkin' crazy sayin' that you made me
Like I was your Cinderella
You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
I'mma do it acapella
[Bridge:]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'mma do it acapella
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Watch me do it in falsetto
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Never mind, bring the beat back
[Chorus:]
Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
Thought you were the perfect lover
All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Now you gotta find another
Now you're talkin' crazy sayin' that you made me
Like I was your Cinderella
You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
I'mma do it acapella
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'mma do it acapella, yeah
"So...?" I asked. Jesse smiled and shrugged.
"It's alright. Hey, do you think Mom would mind if we recorded it over at your house?" He asked.
"Now...? Now?" I said, wide-eyed.
"No, later. Mom said we're having dinner at your house." I shook my head.
"No! Why not here?" I groaned. Jesse laughed and smiled.
"Your house is bigger. Now go to sleep, we're leaving in the morning." He said, leaning over and putting my book in the drawer. He locked it and switched the light off. I turned and lied down on my side, my eyes closing. Jesse moved to the other side of my bed, pulling the duvet. I kicked him and he immediately gave me back the duvet I needed. We both fell asleep.
We were on our way to my house. Mom and Jesse hadn't seen it yet. Nate was meeting us there in his Ferrari. Jesse had begged to drive us there so I was Twittering away and texting Thea. When the security guard opened up the gates for us he smiled at me. I smiled back and looked forward, spotting Nate leaning against his car. When the car stopped I opened the door and ran up to him. I jumped up and kissed him.
"I haven't seen you in two days! It was killing me." Nate said, kissing me again. I laughed and sneaked my arms around his waist. We were leaning in for another kiss when Jesse and Mom cleared their throats. "Uh, sorry. Rebecca, Jesse." Nate finally acknowledged them. I rolled my eyes and leaned back.
"Well, come on boys. Mom's starting dinner." I said, dragging Nate and Jesse to the house. I got my keys out and unlocked the door, pulling them to the recording studio. "Right, Jesse, you and I are behind the screen. Nate here's the track. Just play it and record it." I started the song off for Nate and ran in, putting on headphones. Nate gave me the thumbs up and I started singing.

"Who's the song for?" Nate asked. I took the headphones off and played the song.
"Amy." Jesse said, joining us on the sofa. Nate nodded and smiled.
"Well, she'll love it." He grinned, fist-bumping Jesse and hugging me.
"How about we do the music video now? We won't have guests coming till 6." I said. I checked my watch and it said 10:00 am. Jesse nodded and went to make the phone call.
...
The colors in our music video were; blue, red, green. Amy was so going to love this! Pierre did my makeup and I stood next to Jesse, my two female dancers behind me. He had to male dancers behind him. The song went up and the video director said that we should start singing. Nate sat next to him on his own 'Director's' chair. I had choreographed the dance and everything. There was going to be toast in this music video. Weird right? Ever since that scene, I was craving toast. We also had a mini Harlem Shake in as well. We were filming our last scene when the door rang.
Mom went to answer it and in came Aunt Reneé, Uncle Harry, Phoebe, Hilary, Jake and Phoebe's family. Quincy, the director said 'cut' and I quickly ran over to greet them. I introduced Nate and got congratulations on our engagement. It was 5:45 and they were early.
"Miss Caitlyn, we have to quickly finish this. I need to be gone by five to." Quincy said. I nodded and told them I'll be back. I went to Jesse and waited to Quincy gave the 'ok' for me to slide on the green sofa. When he did I finished the song and finally we were able to finish the song.
"Go Jesse! Go Caitlyn!" Jake whooped. I rolled my eyes and Jesse finally went and introduced himself. I was right, they loved him to bits. Hilary kept, flicking her hair, talking to him. "Hillie! He's our cousin, you idiot." Hilary rolled her eyes.
"Ich wollte nur ein Autogramm für meine Freundin. Du Idiot." I burst out laughing. (I just wanted an autograph for my friend.)
"Sei un idiota." Jake retorted.
"Hey! Non litighiamo. Bacio e make up." Aunt Reneé said. I laughed. (Hey! Let's not argue. Kiss and make up.)
"Sie sind mir peinlich vor meinem Verlobten." I said, leading everyone to the living room. The directors and their teams packed up and left before their leaving time. (This means: You are embarrassing me in front of my fiancé. I'm half German :))
After a couple of minutes, Uncle Bryan and Aunt Mia arrived with little Ben. I hugged my aunt and uncle and introduced them to Nate, carrying Ben on my hip and giving him high-fives. Cornelia came with Fiona and Tim. My family cooed around Fiona as I talked to Jesse, Nate, Jake and Hillie.
"So what was the song you sang?" Hilary asked, sipping on her Coke.
"Oh it's called Acapella. Have you seen my new music video?" I said. Hilary nodded and squealed.
"Oh, she loves that song." Jake said. "Who owns this place? It's wicked!" Jake said, looking around.
"Actually, it's ours." Nate said. Jake and Hilary's eyes widened.
"No!" Hilary said. I nodded. "How much?" She asked wide-eyed.
"8 million." Uncle Bryan must have heard because he too was shocked.
"For this place? Wow, Nate! 8 million for a house?" He shook his head and sat with us.
"Can you sing Acapella and We Can't Stop?" Phoebe asked me. I rolled my eyes and nodded. I led everyone to our music room and stood on the stage. Nate sat with my family as Jesse joined me on stage. We put a karaoke version of both songs on.

I took a large sip of my Fanta and gave the rest to my Mom who happily drank it. She loves her Fanta. "Ok, this is Acapella. Enjoy." Jesse said into his mic. We had the ear piece type of mics on. We wanted to dance around.

Everyone clapped and cheered and we bowed. The rest of the evening was very eventful and fun. Fiona slept through it all though but she was cute. Nate got along well with Jake because he and the guys were in the game room watching the game.
Us ladies retreated to the kitchen to talk about my upcoming wedding. It was funny because we kept hearing Jake exclaim things like, 'That's your car?! A Ferrari?!' and 'I am glad we're going to be cousin-in-laws!'. We laughed and rolled our eyes at Jake's funny remarks.
Now probably this would be updated on Saturday or Friday :)
