False God | Conrad Fisher

five, the party & dinner

❁ FALSE GOD ❁

SHELBY, it was now dinner and Simon was here with all my family and friends, except Taylor, Belly, and Cam because they were still in Boston for literally no reason, just fun i guess

"this is delicious." simon said eating the food, "yeah" I smiled and ate some lobster, "of course it is" Susannah said and smiled, "so, simon cowell . you mind if I call you simon cowell?" Jere said breaking the corn in half, "mm-hmm. yeah, man. feel free. that's funny." simon said and laughed, "cool" jere said

"im glad you're here, simon. I know your mom, Denise, from the club. I have heard a lot about you." Susannah said to simon, "thank you so much for having me, Susannah. my mom says hi." he smiled and held my hand under the table, "Simon, have you ever had miyeok-guk before? It's a Korean birthday tradition." my mom asked him

"no. looks so good." he said " thank you. Shelly told me you're vegetarian, so I didn't put any meat in it." my mom said, " thank you, Laurel." he thanked her, "Oh, geez. why don't you eat meat, Simon cowell?" jere asked him, "Uh, the meat industry is, like, the number one contributor to global warming." simon told him

"mm" Jere said, " and I just, I like animals." simon said, "just don't come for my leather jacket." clary laughed, "I'm pretty sure you mean pleather." steven told her, "ooh. toy know, uh, actually, shels eats meat. so, you let her kiss you with those lips?" jere laughed

"guys. stop" I rolled my eyes, "no, I don't judge people for eating meat. It's just, like, a personal choice. I don't care." simon smiled and told him, "so you don't mind if, uh, like, her lips touch a dead animal, and then those dead animal lips touch your lips, right?" jere asked

i kicked his legs under the table, "ow." jere said, "I don't mind at all. in fact..." simon leaned over and kissed my lips for about 5 seconds to prove to the boys that he would kiss me even if I eat meat.

i looked over to see Conrad looking down in jealously. everybody then awed in cuteness, "all right. all right, all right. Shel's allowed to kiss, but that's it." my mother laughed, "mom, please. no. you're so not funny. no more wine for you, okay?" I told her

"im sorry. I just don't understand why anybody would want to kiss somebody who once fully shat in the bathtub." steven laughed, " I was like two years old." I said, "two? more like six." jere and Steven said in unison, "six" I then said, "shut up, Steven."

"steven" my mom said to him, " aw, I remember that. god, that feels like a lifetime ago." Susannah said, "I remember when I visited last summer, and you and you dared him to pee in the fireplace, and you stunk up the entire house for days. do you remember that?" clary said to Steven, we all then laughed and groaned

"I blamed the neighbor's cat." Susannah said, "we were drunk. we were drunk." Steven sai, "on like half a White Claw." I laughed, "she got you there" jere said

we were now getting ready again for the party, now we were fully ready and drove to the party, "shels you came!" Aubrey came up to me and hugged me, "hey, Aubrey. you look so pretty" i told her, "oh, me? look at you. oh, my goodness. are those real flowers?" she looked at me and said

"yes" I told her, "incredible. wel, we have to show Gigi." she told me , "yeah, yeah, totally. you want to come?" I asked clary, "you have fun over there." she told me and Aubrey took me to another room, "okay. okay"
