The day seemed to be moving really fast
It was already noon and I was sitting on a stool watching as Rose fixed the car
"Hey, Rockstar pass the socket wrench?" Rose asked before I looked at the box of tools
"What's taking so long?" she asked coming out from under the car
"What, you don't know what it is?" She laughed
"I know what it is. Um, it's this one?" I said before she shook her head and sighed
"No," she said taking up the one literally next to the one I picked
"Okay maybe I was a little too preoccupied with touring to learn things like this," I said
"Must have been fun" she said sliding back under the car
"It was. Traveling all over the country was amazing but the sleep schedule could be a bit nonexistent at times" I said smiling back at fun memories
"You seem to really like music," she said
"Yeah, I love it. I honestly can't wait to go back on stage"
"Make sure I get a VIP ticket and backstage pass when you do," she said
"So what about you?"
"What about me?"
"Don't you have anything you love doing?"
"Well while I hate the early classes I love the subject. I've always liked cars."
"Okay," I said before suddenly James came out
"Hey Rose, how's the car coming?"
"Just a little more.....and done," Rose said sliding out from under the car
"I guess it's all ready for a test drive," He said and I think I could see literal stars in Rose's eyes
"Yo James, we don't you leave that to me. I'll tell you how she runs" Rose said reaching her the keys in his hands but he moves them away
"Shouldn't the owner of the car drive it first?" he said as Rose continued to stretch her the keys
"Don't you have a date to get ready for?" Sophie asked walking out with everyone behind her
"I have a couple more hours before the date," James said
"Then should we make lunch then for everyone? You all worked really hard you must be starving" Rebecca said
"Mmm lunch yeah" Wendy cheered at the thought
"We're running a bit short on groceries I'm gonna need someone to run to the store," Sophie said
"I'll do it," Rose said grabbing the keys out of James's hand and immediately jumping in the red convertible
"Okay, fine Rose." James sighed
"Okay, what should we make though?" Sophie said
"Something light I have a date later," Britney said
"You have a date?" I asked.
"A dinner date so I shouldn't eat too much"
"With who?" I asked
"Carlton. I asked him yesterday" she said
"That redhead dude you can't be serious"
"And why can't I?"
"Haven't you heard what kinda guy he is?"
"Whatever he has or hasn't done has nothing to do with me so I don't really care. No offense James" she said and he simply shrugged
"And unlike people who would have you believe Carlton is rather sweet and kind"
"You guys you can't seriously be okay with her going out with him"
"Honestly it doesn't really bother me who he dates. As long as he stays the hell away from me" James said
"He would be around you more if he's dating your neighbor"
"Dude I can't stop her from seeing whoever she wants," James said before I looked back at Britney
"Isn't it too soon for you to get another boy toy? I mean you just came to town"
"That's real rich coming from you," she said looking at Rose who sat in the car. Rose only smiled and waved at her in response
"And who I talk to has nothing to do with you so I suggest you stop trying to interfere," Britney said
"You-"
"Hey Aiden, I might need some help finding the store and carrying all the bags why don't you follow me to the store," Rose said opening the passenger door
Looking around at the awkward stares I was getting I sighed and got in the car
"Anyway, I've decided I'm going to make Turkey Sandwiches With Kimchi Slaw and Miso Sauce. Here's the list for everything I need" Sophie said
"Okay let's get going," Rose said driving away
"So how long have you been in love with Britney?" Rose asked the second we were away from the others
"What?" I nervously chuckled
"How long have you had feelings for Britney" she repeated
"Feelings? For Britney?" I laughed
"Yes, it's totally obvious you have feelings for her."
"No, I have no feelings for Britney" I denied
"It's not believable when James and Sophie say it and it's definitely not believable when you say it"
"Come on Rose why would I like Britney when I have a beautiful girl like you keeping me company"
"Awe darling, flattery will get you nowhere in this situation. Come on just tell me" Rose said
"There's the store" I quickly said thanking God the store was so near the hotel.
After we walked in and started searching the aisles for the things on the list
"Come on admit it. Admit it" she continued to pester me
"Fine I admit"
After fifteen minutes of pestering, I finally gave in
"I like Britney okay," I said before she walked pushing the cart with a smile on her face
"That's good because she likes you too" She smirked walking away
I was surprised and even wondered if I heard right. I was going to ask her to repeat but that's when I noticed I had to catch up to her first
"Wait what did you just say?" I asked after running up to her
"Britney likes you" she repeated
"Seriously, how can you tell?"
"Didn't you notice how she looked at me when she saw us together? It was obvious she was jealous"
"Jealous? You really think so?"
"Totally," she said stopping in the condiment aisle
"She's actually jealous. Wait, is that why she's going on this date? She wanted to see me react. You know what, I won't"
"Hate to break it to you Rockstar, but you already did," she said jumping to reach for a bottle of ketchup on the top shelf
"Well I won't react anymore," I said
"Good for you. Mind giving me a hand now" she said
"Oh yeah sure," I said walking over to her
I accidentally pressed against her as I reached for the ketchup but surprisingly she pressed herself back on me
"Wait if you know I like Britney why are you doing things like this?"
"What does that have to do with this?" She asked confused
"Never mind," I said finally taking down the ketchup
"Should we get going?" I asked her
"Sure," She said before we went back to the car
We went into the hotel and back to the room where everyone was sitting in front of the TV
"What took you guys so long?" Sophie asked before Rebecca looked at Rose
"I was good," Rose said raising her hands while going over to the couch
Rebecca sighed before she and Sophie went to make lunch.
When we all sat and bit into the delicious sandwich.
It was incredible. The turkey sandwich was great
"Wow guys, this is the best thing I've ever tasted," I said and my brothers immediately agreed with me
"Thanks, guys but in all honesty, it's all thanks to Sophie. She's an amazing cook"
"Thank you," Sophie said before the doorbell rang
"I got it," I said after finishing my sandwich getting up, and getting to the door
"Hey," I said to the guy standing at the door
"Hey I'm looking for Rebecca Romanoff"
"Rebecca?....oh Rose's roommate. Sure I'll be back" I said before I went over to everyone else
"Yo Rebecca some guy's at the door for you," I said before Rose and Rebecca looked at each other
Rebecca got up and went to the door.
Curious I went over to Rose and watched as the two entered the living room
"Who's the new guy?" Sophie asked.
"Everyone, this is Jason. Jason, this is Sophie"
"Hello," Sophie said
"That's Aiden, Roman, and Tevon"
"What's up?" Aiden said
"Salutations" Roman said
"Hi," Tevon said his face filled with food
"This is Britney, Jennifer, and umm"
"Ellen" El said
"The six of them live next door" Rebecca continued
"Yo," El said
"Greetings," Jen said
"Hey," Britney said only looking up for a second before her attention went back to her phone
"And you already know Rose and James"
"Hey," James said
"How's it been handsome," Rose said
"Hey Rebecca, what about me? You forgot about me" Wendy said pulling Rebecca's pants
Rebecca smiled before lifting Wendy
"How could I forget you? I was only saving the best for last" Rebecca said pinching Wendy's cheeks
Wendy giggled before looking at that Jason guy
"Jason this cutie right here is Wendy. She's Sophie's cousin"
"Hello everyone," He said
"Rebecca?"
"Yes, Wendy?"
"Is he your boyfriend?" She asked surprising Rebecca to the point where if she was drinking something she'd probably do a spit take
"Um...Wendy..." Rebecca said obviously embarrassed as she looked everywhere except at Jason.
I looked at the awkwardness between them and whispered a question to Rose
"Are they usually like this?" I asked
"Yeah they're still in that awkward first date getting to know each other phase of the relationship"
"Oh, I see. Have you been in that phase before?" I whispered
"Nope I always skip to the fun part" she winked at me
"Wow Mister you're really handsome and that suit really fits you," Wendy said drawing everyone's attention to what he was wearing, a black modern-fit suit with a dark purple tie
"Thank you," Jason said before he looked at Rebecca's messy clothes
"Um, aren't you going to get ready?"
"I was but aren't you a little too early"
"Too early? The reservation is at eight and it's already half past six" he said
"6:30!!" James, Britney, and Rebecca yelled
"Is it really that late?" James asked checking his watch
"I can't believe it's that late. What am I going to do? Carl's should be here any time soon. I haven't done my hair or my makeup. Much less looking for my clothes. Girls you have to help" Britney told her sisters who sighed
Wait, wasn't she on her phone the whole time?
"Let's go," El said
"It was a pleasure spending the day with you all," Jen said before they left
"I have to get ready too," James said running up the stairs
(Sophie)
After Jason made everyone aware of the time. It place got a lot busier Roman and Tevon went back to their apartment. Leaving their brother on the balcony with the redhead girl while Jason leaned silently on the wall while Rebecca was playing with Wendy
"Alright Wendy, it's time to leave Rebecca alone. She has a date to get ready for" I said deciding to interrupt their play
"Do I have to?" Wendy whined but I only glanced at her and she sighed
"Let's go get a shower. Thank Rebecca for the wonderful evening" I said
"Thank you, Rebecca. I wished we could have played longer" Wendy said before suddenly my phone started ringing
"It's Nick" I sighed
"Is something wrong?" Rebecca asked
"It's Nick"
"I heard that. What does he want?" Rebecca asked sitting in front of the counter
"You see we got a reservation for a dinner but-"
"What? You don't want to?" Rebecca asked
"No, it's not that"
"I'd totally get why you wouldn't. I mean he's your ex and you did catch him kissing someone else"
"No, it's not that. Honestly, with all that's happening I had no real time to be angry at Nick. I don't even remember what exactly he did" I answered
"Okay, so you have no feelings towards him at all. Not even anger"
"Not really"
"So why not go out with him? It's not a date or anything. I mean you said a lot has happened maybe an elegant dinner could be a good break from all the drama" Rebecca said smiling at me
"I guess you're right, but what about Wendy? I'm pretty busy watching her"
"Um I guess that's gonna be a problem," she said before looking at Jason
"I'll be right back," She said leaving
"Sure," I said
(Rebecca)
"Alright since that's over why don't we get going," he said
"Um actually Jason I sort of have an idea"
"Which is?"
"Why don't we skip the dinner?"
"And do what exactly?" He asked
"Definitely not what you're thinking," I said before he sighed
"So why do you want to skip the dinner?"
"I want to get to know you and I think being alone would make it easier"
"Okay, so what about the reservation?"
"We'll take it off your hands," Rose said walking back into the room
"What?"
"We'll take the reservation" Rose repeated before I looked back at Jason who seemed to be thinking it over
"I don't know. I had this perfect night planned and it took a while for me to get this reservation"
"Come on Jason. She'll make it worth your while" Rose said winking
"No," I said
"So what you say handsome?" Rose asked
"Fine but what are you guys gonna wear?"
"I have a lot of suits," Aiden said
"And Britney and I look like the same size"
"Alright I guess it's settled then"
"So where are the two of us gonna go?" Jason asked
"I was thinking we stay here. You know it's a pretty nice hotel" I said
"Fine" Jason sighed
(Carlos)
"Come on Superman could never beat the Flash in a race!" I argued with one of my friends in a comic book chat group. That moron had the delusion notion that Superman even stood a chance of catching up to Flash's shadow in a race.
"Superman is the strongest and fastest hero in fiction" he argued
"And Flash is literally connected to the embodiment of speed itself" I retorted
"Look let's just agree to disagree for today. We can pick this up tomorrow; for now, we should get ready to binge that new Batfamily series" another interjected
"Come on guys I already told you I can't make it"
"I had forgotten you said you had a date"
"You have a date?" The one I was arguing with asked.
"Why did you think I was in this stupid monkey suit?"
"I thought you were cosplaying as Bruce Wayne. I can't believe you're really not gonna watch with us. I mean first, you missed Comic-Con and now you're missing the grand premiere. I heard even Amara was joining the forum tonight after" he said
"Amara huh? it's been a while since I heard that name. I'm not joining though" I said
"Oh come on,"
"It really sucks that I'm gonna miss it, but my Shining one tried her best to get this reservation"
"So where are you going?"
"The Midnight"
"How did she manage to get a reservation there?"
"She performed there last week, the manager liked her performance so she gave her a reservation and she decided we could use a date night," I told them
"So where is she?"
"She's in her room getting dressed. I tried to help but she threw me out of the room" I chuckled
"So really gonna miss the premiere?"
"Sorry but if I had to choose between watching this and spending a night with my Shinning One. I'd definitely choose my Shinning one" I said
"Hey Carlos, I'm ready I think we should head out," She said coming into the living room
One look at my Shinning One dressed in a blue skin-tight dress and I immediately knew I made the right choice
"Should we get going?"
"Sure I'll let my Dad know we're leaving"
"I see you guys later," I said
"Lucky bastard"
"Damn right" I smirked leaving the group
