I've always had this fascination with the night; I would outline the stars and draw constellations on a piece of transparent paper. Then I would hold the paper above my head and determine what the stars held in store for me.
But somehow I felt like fate was playing some sick joke on me lately.
"Come on Andy say 'ahhhhhh.'" Jarred held a spoon full of chocolate ice-cream to my mouth.
"I'm not a kid."
"But you're my kid sister." He replied.
"He's got a point." Tony
"Tony I'm only four years younge-" He placed the cool metal spoon inside my mouth, then pulled it out.
"Isn't she cute?" Mickey gleamed with joy, "I mean look at them!" He said pulling while my cheeks "Just like chipmunk cheeks."
"She's growing up so fast." Jarred wrapped his arm around Leia and leaned his head on her shoulder as fake tears rolled down his face.
Don't let his charming looks fool you. Jarred may be nineteen, but he acts like a nine year old most of the time. Plus the only thing he takes seriously in life is death and the outcome of the next Lakers match.
Which tells you a lot about his character huh?
Funny yet witty, he's the perfect real life version of Goofy. Minus the looks obviously.
Leia stiffed up as her cheeks turned a light shade of pink.
Jarred continued his little act, in till he realized what he was actually doing.
When he pulled away from Leia, her posture somewhat slumped but she quickly regained it and started conversing with Emma.
Emma and I gave each other looks. Her left eyebrow raised up in response, 'we are so going to talk to her later.'
But occasionally, Leia with her sly movements managed to take brief glances at Jarred. Her gorgeous red locks stood out against his dark almond hair with hints of natural dark brown highlights. Her shy greens eyes would look away before Jarred would turn. Jarred himself, with his brown tinted grey eyes would also dart quick glimpses at her.
Tony nudged Jarred and when he didn't pay attention to something he said.
Jarred's light tan skin stood out against Tony's dark beige ones. Tony was adorned with freckles all over his shoulders along with a tad bit on his cheeks. Brown lushes curls tilted slightly upwards, showing off his lean narrow face and dark blue eyes.
His laughter brighten up the room, when Mickey told him a joke. He was always the cheerful one, careless but careful at the same time. Ever since -
Ever since mom died, he looked out for me and the other trouble makers when dad couldn't. Making him the older responsible brother. Even though he never took the credit for being the other parent, he still appreciates knowing that he did what he had to do.
He just turned twenty-one, about three weeks ago. Mickey threw him a pool party, let's just say that even dad agreed it was 'totally epic.'
How did Tony describe it again, oh yea, 'the right ratio between babes and booze.'
Mickey being the twin of Jarred looked nothing like him. Yea they both have the same complexion and bone structure but he had this humorous absurdity which allowed him to seem logical while being illogical. Also Mickey was skinnier than his better half but had a muscular frame and during the time of Tony's birthday bash.
Had shoulder length hair.
We called it his skater stage, despite the fact that he couldn't skate to save his life.
Luckily at the time Jarred and Tony made a bet with him that he couldn't finish a whole carton of chocolate milk without taking a breathe.
He lost.
But if I do say so myself his new 'do' was suiting him pretty well. And when I say pretty well I mean girls flock [and some boys] to him like he was the last living male on this planet.
Mickey called Joshua over from the other couch and all fours boys started talking about god knows what.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall / Who in the land is fairest of all?"
"You are definitely not."
A girl, whose height placed her in a disadvantage while trying to look into the mirror. She recited the famous line from Snow White.
She turned around and faced Mickey.
"That's mean."
"It's true." Anndraia wore cargo shorts and a batman shirt passed down from her brothers. "You even dress like a boy."
"Well at least I didn't try on mom's heels yesterday!" She exclaimed.
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Did not."
"Yes you did Mickey and don't lie. Mom said never to lie."
"Well mom's not here."
"Yes she is."
"Not uh."
"Yes huh."
"She's right behind you."
"Not uh."
"Yes huh." Little Andy pointed her finger to her mother, who stood behind Mickey. Mickey stiffened up and slowly turned around.
"So you were the one who broke my brand new heels?"
Mickey didn't know what to say, "Tony dared me!"
"And if Tony told you to jump out of the house, would you do it?"
"No ma'am." She started to scowl at her son all while little Andy secretly stick out her tongue at Mickey.
"So Leia-" Leia's attention finally turned towards Emma and me.
"What's going on huh? Huh?" Emma hinted.
Leia tried to be oblivious to it, "what do you mean?"
Emma giggled a little, "Leia don't act all dumb all of a sudden-"
"ANDYYYYYY." Jarred yelled.
"For goodness sake," I muttered to myself, "JARRRRREDDDD, I'm only like five feet away from you."
Jarred was about to say something but then stopped, "you're right."
"Well what Jarred was going to say is that do you girls wanna watcha movie?"
Emma looked at him with questioning eyes, "what kind of movie?"
"The scary kind of movie." Tony whispered acting all scary like.
"I'm in."
"I'm so out." Leia said.
They both looked at me.
"I don't care." I shrugged my shoulders in response.
"Well that's six against one." Mickey proclaimed while he pulled a movie out of the glass case next to the T.V. dad watches his NFL games on. He stood in front of us and read the title of the movie out.
"Oh Prom Night. How about that?"
"So 2008." I said.
"Never seen it." Leia admitted.
"Sounds cool." Emma kept on stealing looks at Leia and Leia kept avoiding it. I knew that Leia knew that Emma would keep pestering in till she's satisfied.
This is going to be one long night.
"No don't. Don't look in the closet." Leia muttered to herself.
Mickey turned off all the living room lights and micro-waved a batch of butter popcorn. Everybody crowded around the T.V. Mickey and Tony sat next to each other while Emma was able to squeeze on to the same couch as them. The only reason why she did this was because she wanted to be closer to the popcorn and candy or she wanted to be closer to my brothers.
Meh.
Leia and Jarred decided to sit on the smallest of the three couches we had.
And let me tell you something, they were sitting so close to each other you couldn't let air get through.
Which left Josh.
I sat on the only other couch available. Joshua sat on the other end.
And I got to admit.
His overall presence was distracting.
I wonder if he's wondering the same things I'm wondering.
What if he has a secret motive for being here?
Maybe he had something to do with the disappearance of the ice-cream.
What if this is all a conspiracy-
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Leia screamed out.
Her scream literally made me fall off the couch, while Emma, Josh, Mickey and Tony looked back at her.
Leia was hiding her face in Jarred's face.
"Holy shit Leia." I placed my hand over my chest.
"Scared much?" Tony commented.
"Sorry." She whispered.
My cell phone went off and Leia squeaked.
Leia gave me a terrified look.
I feel so bad for her.
The Blackberry started to play my ringtone
Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track
What you waiting-
I thought I heard somebody snort, but the movie was so loud it could have been anything. I excused myself and headed towards the kitchen.
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for-
"Thank you for calling Radio Shack. How can I rock your world?" I leaned against the kitchen counter and propped myself on top of the kitchen stool.
"Um is this Andy?"
"Um are you a stalker?"
A laugh erupted from the other line.
"No, it's Will."
"Will as in the William I met in class?"
"Yea that Will."
How did he get my - oh yea I gave it to him after English. Before the whole 'incident.'
"Will as in the Wilhelm that totally alienated me during Shop class?" I asked again.
Who does he think he is? Thinking that I'll drop and hop.
"Yea that Will ... look Andy I wanted to apologize-"
"For?"
He went silent.
"I wanted to apologize for being a jerk."
"Well apology not accepted."
"I knew it."
"Why did you think you could just call me thinking that I'll be all mushy gushy and forgive you? This is the 21st century bud. Not the Victorian era." I reminded him.
"I know I know, I just thought I might as well try to make peace."
"Well I guess that's not working out."
"Yea how about I make it up to you?"
I laughed, "how can you make it up? Buying me a yacht or something?"
"Something better." He replied.
"Okay what?"
"How about a date?"
"You wanna give me a palm fruit?" Well I suppose that was one way to make peace.
Will chuckled even more. "No I meant like go on a date with me."
Oh,
Oh.
A date?
"Like a date date?"
"Yea like a date date."
The room started to heat up or maybe it was me.
"Um-"
"What do you have to lose? It's just a date and if it doesn't work out then, we can just forget about it. Plus you get a free meal and see a free movie, all paid by me."
If it's free, then it’s good.
A date? He's asking me on a date? Like the whole candle lit dinner, spaghetti meat ball dinner, lady and tramp date?
"I don't know I mean like-"
Just hurry up and say yes already jesh.
"I will."
"You will what?" Will asked confused.
Uhh, "I will love to go on a date with you, Will." I corrected myself and then added his name again for a sense of humor.
"That was so not redundant."
"I try not to try sometimes."
We both laughed.
"Well I have to go." He said apologetically. I heard voices in the background, if I focused clearly it sounded like he had company over.
"No it's fine I understand I have a slumber party to get back to." Slash hanging out with my brother’s slash being further more clueless about this whole thing with Joshua.
"Oh lala a slumber party, what do you girls do?"
"Well you know, talk about boys and stuff."
"And stuff?"
"You'll never know." I heard him laugh a little.
"So text me your address okay?"
"Yea okay."
"Bye Andy."
"Bye Will." I hanged up on him and quickly sent him my address via text.
Will: I'll pick u up nxt sat @ 7?
Andy: Sure :)
Will: Dress nicely. G'night <3
A huge grin appeared on my face as I jumped off of the stool and did a little celebratory danced.
"I'm going on a datteeeee, I'm goingggg on a date." I sang out loud.
"So I guess you're going a date huh?"
I stopped my little celebration dance and turned my head to the direction of the voice.
"Whose it with?" Joshua asked.
