~Pre-Sleepover~
Liv's POV
Morning!
That's right, I'm up already. Alex woke me up at around 6:30, being the idiot that he is. I mean, who wakes their little sister while she's having a peaceful sleep!??
Alex. That's who.
We didn't go to church today. Mom wasn't feeling so well. Anyways, I'm already prepared for the day. I wore my black lazy top. It literally had the word 'Lazy' written on it in white. And I paired it with my grey sweatpants and my purple crooks.
So right now I'm heading downstairs for breakfast. I get downstairs and see Alex man-ning the stove in the kitchen. Or should I say boy-ing.
Ha! I crack myself up.
By his side is no other than the girl of his dreams, Natalie. She's wearing a white top that's shows her bellybutton and blue shorts with palm sandals.
While Alex was wearing his pajamas. White shirt and black trousers with white lines all over.
Typical.
I approached them and they were just laughing like they were the only ones there. Obviously they didn't notice I was standing there I shouted "Morning" And it startles them.
Of course, Alex more startled.
See what I was saying? About him being a boy?
Yeah, I was right.
"Oh, hey Liv. Didn't see ya there" Alex said glaring at me
And I just smile back.
"Morning Liv" Natalie said flashing me a beautiful smile.
I gotta say, boy did good.
"So Whatcha guys up too?" I ask, taking a seat at the breakfast table "Well, Natalie has decided to make breakfast for us" Alex said grinning at her. She grins back "Oh, it's nothing" She said dismissively while flipping something on the pan. Either pancakes or eggs or something.
"Oh, cool. Thanks" I say smiling at her. And she winks "Anytime"
"Well, what are you making? " I ask again
"Liv, stop being a pest" Alex said glaring at me once again.
"You stop being a pest! I was just asking her what she was making!" I say starting to get pissed.
"Liv, I'm making us all omelettes. Alex, chill she was only asking a simple question" She said looking at us both like we were six year olds.
We both roll our eyes.
"I bet they taste good" Alex said with a wink
"Oh, please. They're average" Natalie says as she dishes them in plates.
Alex puts the plates on the table. He places them on two sides and dosen't serve me. I clear my throat. "Uh, Alex, I think you skipped a plate" I say literally pointing to the empty space that's supposed to occupy my plate in front of me
"No, I'm pretty sure I served everyone" He said, with a mischievous glint in his eyes
"Alex, be nice" Natalie says and serves me my plate. "Thank you Natalie, you're the older sibling I never had" I said glaring at Alex.
He scoffed feigning hurt "Liv! How could you say that! I am deeply offended. I choose not to believe that my dearest sister uttered such words" He said
And I laughed.
Then I take a bite from my omelette and realise its really good. "Natalie, this is awesome! " I say taking more. "Yeah" Alex says with food in his mouth
Then she grins "I'm glad you guys like it" She says
Then I head to the fridge then bring out some orange juice and three glass cups. I pour the juice into the cups and hand it to them.
I take one and give the other two to them. Only I filled Alex's half way. "Hey!" He complained. I pretend like I can't hear him while I happily hum the tune for 7 rings. Natalie just laughs at us.
"So Natalie, what are you studying? " I asked curiously
"Well, I'm studying mechanics" She says and I'm taken aback. She doesn't seem like one for that job.
But then, my opinion doesn't matter. You can't judge a book by its cover. "Nice. Although unexpected" I say then glance over at Alex and he gives me a knowing look.
"Yeah. I guess I love to get my hands dirty" She says and I smile at that.
"Uh, brother, remind me what you were studying? " I say trying to remember
He chuckles "Well, I'm studying civil engineering. You know that" He says
Oh yeah!
"Well, I forgot" I say
Then I take a sip from my glass cup then swallow "So, are you two dating already? " I ask and then they both blush.
Aww, how cute!
"Not yet" Alex said as he winks and Natalie blushes deeper. Cute.
"So... Liv, how was last night? " Alex asks winking
"I don't... Uh.. Know what you're talking... About " I say starting to blush.
"Oh, what happened last night?" Natalie asks curiously
"Ya see, Liv here, went on a date with this boy she's been crushing on hard" Alex says proudly grinning.
He had that 'Gotcha' look on his face.
This was probably pay back. Who cares!
"Well, if you really wanna know, It was great" I say, memories of last night flooding in.
I told drew about my past with Lexi. Suddenly, regret washes over me, but I quickly brush it off.
"Oooh, is he cute? " Natalie asks
"Cute isn't the word" I say grinning while thinking of Drew's physical features.
"Really? Tell me all about him" She says looking eager to listen. I take out my phone and show her a picture of him I had managed to steal.
"Oh, you're right. Cute definitely isn't the word" She says nodding in agreement
I nod too, taking a sip from my glass then I tell her all about him and our date.
And Alex just rolls his eyes.
"Well, he sounds interesting. And perfect for you" She says as she winks
"Yeah, but not so sure if the feeling is mutual" I say sighing
I'm not perfect for him.
"Don't say that" She says and I nod.
"Well, I have to get going" Natalie says, glancing at her phone
"Aww, don't leave now" I say pouting
She's cool.
"I'm sorry Liv, I'm volunteering at an elderly's for a senior dance class" She says smiling at the thought.
Wow, volunteering for the elderly's?
That's pretty cool.
"You're so nice!" I gush and look at her in admiration
"Well that's my Natalie" Alex says looking at her smiling
And then she blushes.
"Well, I'll be off now. Bye Liv, " She says as she comes over to hug me. I hug back immediately.
"Bye Alex" She says as she goes over to kiss his cheek which makes him blush.
This is so weird, seeing Alex blush all the time. Natalie had that effect on him.
Then she left.
He sighed picking up his phone.
"You've done well bro" I tell him nodding
"Yeah, I know. There's something about her, Y'know? " He says "Yeah. Nothing like your exes" I say rolling my eyes at the thought.
Alex has had a bad history of bad girlfriends.
There's Alex, Courtney, Piper, Stacey, I could go on.
Stacey was the most recent. They broke up four years ago. He broke up with her mainly because she was mean to me.
Terribly mean.
Whenever he was around, she'd act all nice to me. Pretend like she actually cares. But immediately he leaves, or she has some alone time with me, it was always torture. She'd call me names, poke me, 'tap' me. She literally beats me up, claiming she was raising me the proper way. I was only fourteen. He was never around so he never noticed it. But she, she was always around.
For some sick reason.
Anytime I told him about her, he always called me delusional or looney. Saying that she was always so nice to me, that he didn't believe me. He finally believed me when I told him to see for himself and he hid behind the couch.
I mistakenly spilled tea on her clothes. It was a honest mistake.
But then she started beating me. When I told her that, she would just call me a mistake. And then when Alex had seen enough he stepped in and broke up with her immediately.
I was already crying. The thoughts of this made me scrunch up my face. Alex noticed this. "What's wrong? " He asked "Stacey" I simply said and he understood. "It's okay Liv. That was four years ago" He said and I nodded.
"Yeah, I know. I was just thinking. You really had a bad taste in girls" I said.
I had recurring nightmares about her.
"You can't possibly say that. Look at Natalie" He said grinning proudly.
To be honest, Stacey was a looker. She had tan skin and blonde hair and a skinny model sized body. She literally had a beach body. She also had a pair of icy blue eyes that would pierce your soul. To be fair all his girlfriends were hot. But Natalie was hands down the hottest.
"Yeah, I have a good feeling. She's the one" I say
He nods in agreement.
Then I finish up and drop my plate in the sink. I head upstairs to my room, leaving Alex to drooling over Natalie's pics. He thinks I didn't see him, but I did.
I get to my room and land on my bed face first.
Great, now I'm bored.
I pick up my phone and checked the time. 11:30am.
Oh yeah! The sleepover's today.
But I have to wait till like 6:00 before the girls come over.
Group chat

~L💜: 😃 11:45

Then I drop my phone on the bed sighing contently.
Oh wait, that means I have to change.
Ugh!
But I'm so comfyyyy!!
And bored.
Comfy and bored...
Yeah, I'll get dressed.
Then I head into my closet. I pick out a grey tank top then wear Alex's checkered hoodie on top. I pair it with my black booty shorts and my black sandals.
Then my phone dings and I pick it up and check my notification.
Blair💖
Here you go. Expecting u 😃
Yay, On my way
K, see you in a few
Yeah
I hit send and head downstairs with my phone in hand. I get downstairs and see Alex isn't there. He's probably in his room. Then I head back upstairs and walk down the hall until I get to his room.
Eminem's Venom was blasting loud
I knock once, respecting his privacy. I hear a groan and took it as my cue to come in. I head into his room.
The theme is Red and blue. He has posters everywhere of Eminem and Lil Wayne and the likes. Then posters of wrestlers like Roman reigns and Dean Ambrose and the likes. He has a desk to the left and a full length mirror to the side. His bathroom was then on the right side of his room, with his grey towel hung on it. His bed with grey sheets and black duvet at the centre.
He was lying down on his lazy boy recliner, shirtless with a magazine in his hand.
"Yo, whatcha need?" He asked lowering the volume of the music from his bt speaker.
"Uh, I need a ride" I say
And he nods and gets up. Then he takes in my appearance as he stands and stretches. "Hey, isn't that my hoodie? " He asks and I shrug.
He heads to his closet and comes back after some time. He was now wearing a black tank top and sweat pants. I thought that was all he was gonna wear until he picked up his red hoodie and wears it without zipping up and pulls the hoodie over his head.
"Let's go" He said as he picked up his car keys that were on his desk. And he wears his black and blue crocs.
We both leave his room and head downstairs to his car in the parking lot.
He unlocks his Volvo SUV and we both hop in.
When we're both settled in he asks "So, where are we going this time since you've literally turned me to your personal uber driver"
I laugh "We're going to my friend Blair's place" I say as I give him my phone and he sets the coordinates in the car.
"Onward chauffeur" I say with a medieval accent
And he rolls his eyes and chuckles and starts the car.
I reach out and turn the radio on and There's nothing holding me back by Shawn Mendes starts playing.
I do the expected and sing along, drowning out Alex's voice telling me to "Shut the hell up"
»»*»»
So, twenty minutes later Alex pulls over and parks to the side in front of one hella big mansion.
It's completely white. The pillars, the door, everything. It looks like the White House. I look at Alex and he's staring in shock too. "Whoa" He says
And I nod "Maybe I should come with" He jokes
"Well, bye. Oh and text me Natalie's number" I say while un-buckling my seat belt.
"Uh, what for? " He asks
"Well ya see, I want her number because I want to.. Uh, what's the word, oh yeah that's right, 'text' " I say sarcastically
He rolls his eyes "Whatever sassy sally" He says and then I get out of the car and he leaves.
I head to the door and knock. I Knock once. I knock twice.
I kno-
As I'm about to knock, a boy opens the door making me hit his nose.
Hard.
He had short dirty blonde hair and he was wearing a cap with the back facing the front. He's cute. "Oww" He groaned in pain
"Omg, I'm so sorry" I say apologizing frantically.
"It's Uh, it's alright. And you are? " He asks as he rubs his nose as it is already red.
"I'm Liv. Blair said I could come over" I said nervously
He smirks "I didn't think Blair had any hot friends" He said as he gave me a once over.
I laugh nervously "Can you uh, just let me in? " I ask
"Oh yeah, of course, I'm Nathaniel" he says
"Okay, Nathaniel, Can I come in now" I say
"Nate" he says as he widens the door and I finally enter. Then Blair runs downstairs as Nate leads me to the living room. "Nate stop flirting with her she's taken" Blair says
Then he groans "All the hot ones are taken"
I feel my cheeks heat up but I don't blush that noticeably. Only Drew makes me blush like that.
At the thought I almost blush again.
Darn hormones!
"Well, Liv, Let's get going" She says as she drags me to her room.
It's beautiful.
And big. Really big.
It's themed yellow and pink. Pink sheets, yellow duvet, pink wallpaper, yellow carpet, pink furniture, yellow things. Well, she's rich, so.
"So, what should we do now?" She asks as she falls on her bed and she literally sinks.
It's looks really comfy so I face plant on the bed and sink too. It's pretty soft, so I was right.
"How bout we just watch TV and talk? " She offers
"Fine with me. B-tee-dubs, that's your bro right? " I ask and she shakes her head.
"Cousin, unfortunately" She says
"Okay then what is he doing here? " I ask confused
"Visiting. And unfortunately he has to stay with us. Can you believe that? " She says
"Okay, so how old is he? " I ask desperate
"We're age mates. I'm 18" She says
"I'm seventeen. I'll be eighteen by April " I say
And she nods
"Okay do you watch Marvel Runaways?" She asks
"DUH!! " I reply
"OMG!! Let's watch that" I squeal
Then Nate bursts in and shouts "I'm in"
"No one asked you dimwit" Blair says
He was wearing a black tank top and green shorts and black slippers. Blair was wearing a blue tank top and pink shorts with a pink and blue crocs.
Nate just rolls his eyes and ignores her as he gets comfy on the couch. Blair sets up the TV then I go and join Nate on the couch.
He gets up and leaves.
"Thank goodness" Blair says
But then he comes back with two bowls of buttered popcorn.
"Oh is that popcorn for me?" Blair says faking sweetness.
"No, it's for my new friend Liv" Nate says smiling at me while handing me the second bowl.
"It's buttered" He says in a sing-song voice "But you get Zeroo Zeroo" He says singing Zero by Chris Brown
I just laugh and she pouts. "I'm still gonna eat some" She says
She plays the movie and she seats in the middle of me and Nate and starts stealing popcorn. Then she whispered "Toldya" as she was sneaking some more popcorn.
"Shut up" I whisper
And then we binge watched Marvel Runaways for about 4 hours.
And episode is like forty-five minutes , so yeah.
»»*»»
"WHAT!?! " We all scream when the screen shows
'Season finale'
"It can't end that way!!" Blair says
"There's another season idiot" Nate says and I laugh.
I pick up my phone and see that South and Cece wanted to face time me. But I missed it so I call them back. I hold my phone up so it can show my face and I sit on her bed.
"Hey guys. Sorry for missing your call. What's up? " I say
"Hey" They both say
"Sleepover remember? We wanted to ask but then we just decided to show up at your place" Cece says as she shows me that she's in the living room.
"Yeah, we asked Alex and he said you were at a friend's but he couldn't remember the name"
"Airhead" Cece said as she chuckles
And Alex yelled "Hey! Right here ya know"
Then I laugh "Sorry, I'm at Blair's" I said then Blair came into view and said "Yo" As she waved.
Then Nate got up and came into view and said "Here too"
And then South's eyes literally pop out of her eye holes "Uh, hi" she says nervously as she tucked some hair behind her ear as she does when she's nervous then She whispers "Who's he? " to Cece thinking we can't hear her but we can .
"I have no idea who he is" Cece said purposely making sure Nate heard.
I roll my eyes. "I'm Nate" He said flashing a flirtatious smile, the one he flashed earlier when I first met him. "South and Cece" I say pointing to both of them and then Nate nods
"Nice to meet you" He says "You bet it is" Cece said as South and Nate just keep flirting back and forth. I roll my eyes then take the camera from Nate's face "Cut it out" I say then cut the call.
Then I turn to face Blair "Sleepover at mine?" I ask
"I'm game" She says
"Hey can I come?" Nate asks
Before Blair could say no, his phone rang and he picked it.
"Dang it, I can't. Gotta go" He says
"Nice meeting you Liv" He says smiling then hugging me.
I was surprised but then I hugged back. "You too Nate" I say
He reaches out for my phone and taps on it for a while then gives me.
"There, my number, text me now so I can save yours" He says
Then I get my phone and see he saved his name as 'Blair's hot cousin'
I text him a pic of Blair that I took of her sleeping and he snickers.
She asks "What? What's so funny?" Then I start laughing too and then she pries the phone out of his hands and when she sees the pic, she deletes it.
"Very funny" She says.
Then she packs for the sleepover after Nate leaves
"Ready" She says
I nod. She heads into her closet and comes out wearing a jean jacket on her tank top. We both leave her house and head to her car while I help her carry her sleepover needs. "Hey, wait where's everyone else?" I ask curiously "Out. They went shopping or something. Nate and I decided to stay back" She said shrugging
I nod then we hop into her Porsche and she zooms off.
