Chapter 16: Thick Goddess

Nat's POV

In the morning, I was the last to wake up. I don't know what Rosalina was planning on doing for her winter break. On one hand, I didn't want her to change her plans because of me. But on the other I really wanted her to stay because it'd be easier to watch her. As far as I knew, she was staying for the weekend, as well as her friends and the friend's brother. The instruments were already on the stage again, and everyone but Alex was drawing on the chalk board, and Alex was playing on the drums. I felt arms wrap around my neck, Rosalina's head nuzzling in my shoulder. "Did you have an amazingly fantastic birthday?" she asked. I nodded, taking her hands and turning her so she was in front of me. "So what'd you decided about what Cooper said?"

"Well actually, I was wondering what you were doing with the rest of your winter break," I said. She thought about it for a moment.

"I'm going back to Connecticut for Christmas and then I'm coming back for New Years and just staying after that." she said.

"New Years is the day before we go back to school," I said.

"I mean I'll be back on New Year's Eve." she said. "Now, you're decision?"

I shrugged. "I'm cool with it, as long as you guys are doing it," I said.

And that was the start of the official Naked Brothers Band. A bunch of CD signings, photoshoots, concerts, albums, and interviews went by. It was awesome. And I got to do it all with my best friends, my brother, and my girlfriend. A few months into our junior year, I was reading a book when Rosalina came into the library, sitting next to me. "Nat," she said. "Did you know that Thomas and Kristina were dating?" I nodded.

"Yea," I said. "Why?"

"How did everyone know before me?"

"Thomas is like our brother, he tells everything," I said.

"What about David—"

"Asking out Gina." I finished. "And Qaasim deciding to man up and ask out Stacy?"

"You're no fun," she pouted.

"Ssh, were in a library," I said. She groaned, then took the book from me.

"Let's go to your place," she said. "It's so boring here."

"Rosie, I'm trying to study," I said.

"We can study at your place," she said. "And why are you trying to study? We're not going to school tomorrow."

"Cause I don't want to study when we're on the plane to Austin," I said.

(We're performing in Austin, Texas, in two days. We fly out tomorrow, rehearse, then preform the next day. That's how life works. We're only allowed to miss a total of 20 days of school a year, but we're only missing on for tomorrow.)

"Plus, I'm still gonna have to take the stupid test on Monday," I said. She shrugged, grabbing her bag.

"Cooper said to make sure your bags are packed," she said. "Call me when you finish."

"You're just bragging because you're in AP History and I'm in regulars, which is so much harder for some reason."

"I have a test every few days," she said. "They're easy."

I stuck my tongue out at her, seeing her heading for the door. I grabbed my bag and speed-walked to follow her, stopping her before she crossed the street. "I haven't even started packing." I informed her.

"Does that mean I have to come pack for you?" she asked, and I nodded. When we got to my house, Alex was passed out on the couch while the guys sat around the kitchen table, listening to Kristina talk.

"Were you all having a party at my house without telling me?" I asked jokingly.

"We were tutoring Alex cause missing school sucks on him," David said.

"Poor freshman," Qaasim said, looking at Alex.

"And now Kristina is explaining to us why Thomas is her first date," Cooper said. "Even though I feel extremely sad for her because of how disappointing it is to date Thomas."

"Well I'm sorry that I'm not a hoe and date when I'm super young," Kristina said, looking at us.

"Why don't you just scream my name while you're at it," Rosalina said.

"Don't worry my Thick Goddess," I said, wrapping an arm around her. "You don't need her negativity."

"Thick Goddess?" Rosalina asked.

"Yes, because I have succeeded and fattened you up," I said, pinching her thigh. "You're welcome."

"You are a fucking weirdo," she said, walking with me to the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Cooper asked.

"My room," I said.

"No fucking in this apartment!" Alex groggily exclaimed, making everyone laugh.

"I thought you were asleep?" I said.

"I woke up when you called Rosalina a Thick Goddess," Alex said.

I brushed him off, climbing the stairs quickly. Rosalina and I walked to my room, going inside. "We're gonna be gone for three days, two nights," she said. "I'd say you'd need eight pairs of boxers."

"Why?" I asked.

"There might be a pool at the hotel." she said.

"But then I'd skinny dip with you by my side," I said. She rolled her eyes, pulling my suitcase out of the closet.

"Does that mean you don't want me to pack your swim shorts?" she asked.

"You can if you want," I said. "We'll see if I use them."

"You know I'm not gonna be around forever to pack your bag," she said.

"Yea you will," I said. "I'm gonna follow you to college, then force you to marry me, and then you're gonna make annoying mini me's."

"You can't force me to marry you," she said.

"You'll see," I said, plopping onto my bed. I tossed her a stuffed, brown monkey. Or what was left of it. "Put this in there too."

"I thought you threw this away ages ago," she said.

"I will never throw it away," I said defensively. "I love Mr. Pancake like a son."

"Your such a weirdo," she said. She opened my drawers, pulling out a bunch of my clothes and putting them on my bed. "Start folding." I rolled my eyes.

"I should've stayed at the library to study," I mumbled.

A/N: So actually, there's gonna be two more chapters after this one.
