~~~DEXTER POV~~~
“ALEKS STOP PEEPING!”
I playfully yell at my roommate. Goodness I hope he enjoys being a little twat, looking at me while I try and get dressed for today. Some skinny jeans, a plain black v-neck type shirt, and I mess up my bed head a little. After the events of last night, with our whole scene, I guess Aleks and I are dating. Maybe. I’m not entirely sure. But we are heading over to the office to hang out with the other guys.
The three of us, Eddie, Aleks, and I, hop into the car and drive on over to the office. As usual, we let ourselves into the office, but notice that we can’t find anyone. Eh.
Eddie walks a couple steps in front of us, while Aleks and I walk side by side. Our hands brush against each other, and eventually interlock. So that’s what was happening when I felt my hand on fire! I like it.
The two of us snap out of our moment just in time, as Eddie decides to stop in the middle of the bloody hallway, “Shhhh, I hear James and Seamus! I wanna sneak around because I’ve noticed them acting weird!”
Aleks and I don’t really know what to think, so we just go along. We quietly sneak into the gaming room, like TMNT. Only there are 3 of us, and we aren’t turtles, or teenagers. Whatever, you understand that we were all stealthy and stuff!
“James… stop it… what if someone comes in here?” “It’s okay Seamus, our little secret…” Aleks and I have our backs pressed against the sofa while Eddie tries to sneak around the side for a better view, hopefully the side James and Seamus aren’t facing.
Eddie’s loud outburst caused us all to jump, “AWEEEEEE YOU TWO ARE SOOOOO CUTEEEEEEE!”
I quickly hop to my feet just in time to see Seamus sitting on James’ lap, holding hands. Then, the rest of The Creatures make an amazingly timed entrance, “Hey, what’s so cute? James? Seamus?”
All of us quickly scramble to our feet and face Jordan and Dan. Oh goodness, this is a mess, this is bad, oh no oh no oh no!
Aleks senses my panic and quickly grabs my hand. His thumb draws circles on the top of my hand, calming me down, “Oh, Jordan, Eddie was just talking to James and Seamus about how cute he thinks that Dexter and I are.”
I swear, I crapped my pants, my face looked like I saw a ghost, and I almost ran out of that room. I knew he was going to tell them we were practically dating now, but, it still hit me. You know that feeling, you prepare for something that you know will come. But when the moment happens, you still weren’t prepared enough. You didn’t realize it would come as such a shock.
There is a few seconds of silence. James and Seamus seem to be thankful yet guilty, Eddie wants to explode like the school girl I know he is, Dan kind of smirks, and Jordan has a… look. Finally, Jordan breaks the silence, “YOU TWO FINALLY GOT TOGETHER! DERN DUDE!!”
“SHUT UP JORDAN!” Aleks replies and Jordan tries to run out of the office. My annoyed love somehow found a red solo cup and hits Jordan in the kneecap, causing us all to break down laughing!
Dan gains some composure and suggests, “Hey, should we get ready for the next Creature stream? It’s tonight, and for charity.”
I ponder this into my schedule, “I’ll stay for the beginning, but not for the challenges. I have recording and all of those things to do for my channel, which I’ve neglected.”
“BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN!” Eddie quickly responds to me. I am thinking of the children, that’s why I’m staying for the beginning, but not for the challenges. I’m not dying my hair, or drinking questionable liquids!
The rest of the day pretty much consisted of us hanging out in the recording/streaming room checking all of the equipment for the stream, helping Dan with odds and ends, and coming together to think of some last minute ideas. These ideas included, but not limited to: Nasty challenges that I mostly provided since I won’t be the one suffering, hashtags to spread the word on social media while streaming, and who is doing what during the stream.
Finally, the stream starts, and all is well! We receive many donations, the guys play some Shovel Knight (which I couldn’t figure out), and some challenges were completed. Poor James and his hair! Oh well, he’s some sort of caveman, it’ll grow back quickly.
The time comes around for me to leave. At least I won’t have to play Balsamic Pong, or watch James turn pink, or watch Dan wax his chest. I already had to suffer by watching Aleks when he got his leg waxed, and then comfort him, against his will. Goodness, he is stubborn and a crybaby!
After saying goodbye, I hop in the car, and Eddie comes with me. I guess he has things to do also. Good thing I trust Aleks, or I wouldn’t have left. For some reason, I have this weird feeling. I just can’t pinpoint what it means exactly, only that it showed up once I saw James and Seamus on the couch, and James saw Aleks. It’s not jealousy, I know that. It’s something else. Something that seems like it is going to ruin my boyfriend and I’s “honeymoon” stage.
~~~AUTHOR’S NOTE~~~
Wow I’m giving too much plot away with all of this foreshadowing!!
But it’s okay, I’m just as excited for it as you guys!! Finally getting into the “meat and potatoes” of this book. Where the title Vodka or Tacos is explained. OOOOOOHHHHHHHH hahaha
So since I just started school, we haven’t done anything. And I may or may not have written the outline for the rest of VoT… :3
I might have more chapters that are shorter, or less chapters but longer. Shorter ones would be maybe 600 words. These current chapters are 1k. Would probably be same amount inbetween chapters. But more chapters means that VoT wouldn’t run as smooth, and would last longer, about 5 more chapters longer. Comment below?
OMG Better Late Than Never FINALLY RELEASED ON ITUNES!! Only $4 :D
Thanks for reading!
