It's Complicated With Friends

Chapter 13

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wakey, wakey! Hello? Guys? WAKE UP!" I jolted from the bed as a loud ringing broke through my ears. I looked down next to me to find Jake on the floor rubbing his head in confusion at the sudden noise disturbing our sleep. 

"WHAT?!" I yelled with irritation and annoyance. I looked up to see Derek with a devious smile spinning on his lips indicting his sense of pride in waking us up in a rude manner. 

"I just came to tell you guys that dinner is ready... Sheesh!" Turning around Derek stomped outside of our room. I looked down at Jake the same time he looked up at me, we burst out laughing from the hilarity of the situation. Quickly getting up I grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom to change. 

"Are you ready to go?"

"Hmm? Yes of course lets go!" Stepping out the bathroom we walked down the stairs to the tantalizing smells of tomato soup and grilled cheese. Everyone had already seated themselves and started feeding themselves the dishes around them. Taking our seats we started eating with the rest of the gang Jake instantly joining in on the conversations, me just eating silently and listening. 

"So Rosa... How are you likin' the place so far?" Kelsey asked me with a interested look. 

"Oh its great! I really enjoy it! Its super beautiful thanks again for letting me come join you guys!" 

"No problem! What's mine is yours!" Derek replied in a confidant voice. I smiled and started joining in the multiple conversations with Jake, feeling happy that I was getting along with Jake's friends. Suddenly I heard the clicking of heels as I looked up towards the stairs to see Christy walking down with all the pride in the world. She was wearing a blue glitter tight fit dress that hugged her body like a leather pants on a rockstar would, she was wearing bright blue heels that were at least 10cm tall, and of course she curled her hair to perfection adding pieces of glitter and long gold streaks. Looking down I felt self conscious in my ripped jeans and red t-shirt. 

"Hey don't worry you look beautiful she may be wearing some of the most expensive clothes, but you have something she doesn't natural beauty and I love you for that exactly." Jake whispered in my hear while squeezing my knee. Relaxing my body I turned back to my food ignoring the sauntering Christy that sat on the other side of Jake. 

"So Jake, are you excited to spend the winter break with me at the lodge?" I tensed with the way she seductively said those words to him. 

"Well, I am excited to spend the winter break at the lodge with my GIRLFRIEND ROSA!" I smiled down as my plate while grabbing Jake's hand over the table. I watched from the corner of my eye as I saw Christy pout, cross her tanned arms together and glare at the table. I smiled to myself feeling a sense of triumph when Jake refused to fall into Christy's trap, I beamed a smile at Jake as I laid my head on his shoulder listening to the various conversations going around the room. 

"Hey guys lets gather around the fireplace and share stories!" I heard Kelsey yell out to the table, I looked around the table seeing everyone nodding their heads and making their way to the fireplace with their mugs of hot chocolate and tea. I got and walked with Jake their both of us sitting on the love seat cuddle up against each other like a baby Koala with their mother. 

"Okay guys I want to start did I tell you about the time I slipped on a banana peel and landed face flat in a plate of pasta?" I heard everyone burst out laughing as Kelsey shared her story, and a bright smile on Kelsey's face enthusiastic that everyone was laughing and enjoying her story. I couldn't help but giggle as she used actions and faces to describe the incident. 

"OKAY OKAY MY TURN!" Derek screamed with excitement.

"Alright, well did I tell you about the time Jake wore a skirt to school because of his mom?" 

"DUDE SHUT UP! NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW THAT! ALSO MY GIRLFRIEND IS HERE! JEEZ!"

"Psh, its a great story! Okay well I was sleeping over at his house one day and the night before we had fun sneaking into his mom's closet and trying on clothes while making fun of her. When we had to wake up early for football practice and I left his house first because I had to go grab my clothes. When I got to school I heard students laughing and pointing at a boy wearing a pink skirt and when he turned around I saw it was Jake! I asked him what happened with his clothes and he told me 'I forgot that I put this skirt on last night and when I tried to take it off this morning the zipper was stuck and my mom refused to help me so I had to wear it to school now shut up!' and trudged to the locker!" I felt myself burst out laughing at the though of Jake wearing a skirt and noticing Jake's cheeks turned bright red. Clutching my stomach I continued laughing until I felt my lungs run out of air resulting in me to breathe leading me into gasping for air and grabbing onto Jake's shoulder for support. I looked up at his face and pinched his cheeks then spoke in a motherly voice, 

"Don't worry Jakey everyone needs some femininity in their lives!" Before I started laughing again, and oddly enough Jake joined me in laughing. I knew that this was going to be an awesome trip with all of these new friends I've made, Jake my loving hilarious boyfriend and Christy is already forgotten! This is going to be a trip to remember!
