Chapter 11: The News

Debbie and Lou's 3 months anniversary was around the corner, just a week away. And Lou was getting excited. She decided to do things a bit differently though. She wanted to ask Debbie for a sleepover at her house. She wrote a speech practically pointing out everything about how she should be Debbie's girlfriend. Debbie, on the other hand, needed to tell Lou something. Lou decided to pick a song a week early, because by now, it has become a tradition for Lou to sing every month for their anniversary. And so, Lou picked the song, 'Perfect,' by Ed Sheeran, because to Lou, Debbie was perfect in every way. They arrived at Tammy's place and were greeted by the other 6 friends; Tammy, Amita, Daphne, Rose, Constance and Nine. Lou told Debbie to sit still in her seat as she got around and opened the door for Debbie like a gentleman, in this case, a gentlewoman.

"Awww... baby you didn't have to-" Debbie started when she was cut off by someone.

"UGH BULLSH*T?" Constance yelled.

"What did you just say?" Debbie and Lou said in unison.

"BULLSH*T! 'Awww baby you didn't have to' " Constance mimicked Debbie, then turned around facing her back to everyone and wrapped her hands around her back and made smooching noises.

"Take that back!" Debbie yelled back at Constance.

"You taught me that word so, BULLSH*IT! BULLSH*T! BULLSHI*T!" Constance yelled, then cracked up laughing. And so did everyone.

"Yeah, what Constance said. You guys should just date already." Rose added and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. I mean who celebrates their 1 month, 2 month and 3 month anniversary of 'Friendship?'" Nine asked and emphasized on the word, "Friendship."

"Apparently we do." Debbie said proudly.

"You guys are nuts! Why can't you just date already?" Tammy asked.

"I want to. It's just Debbie." Lou uttered and looked down at the floor.

"Yeah Debs... I mean, Lou already said the 3 letter words to you so many tim-" Daphne began, when she was interrupted.

"Yeah! AND WHEN I SAY IT, YOU SAY SHUT UP!" Constance screeched. Everyone cracked up laughing because what Constance said was true. Tammy too would say, 'I love you,' at Debbie's birthday and she'd make a disgusted face. But with Lou, it's different.

"Alright, alright, let's just go have lunch." Lou calms everyone down. They made their way inside Tammy's house and had their lunch. After that, they all just laid down on a couch, 2 on each, stuffed and full of Tammy's lasagne.

"Let's plaaaaaaaay.... spin the bottle." Daphne suggested.

"Nah, I'm good." Lou backed away because she didn't want to kiss anyone if it wasn't Debbie.

"Yeah, same." Debbie backed away too because she too didn't want to kiss anyone other than Lou.

"Awww look at you two lovebirds being faithful to each other. How cute!" Amita exclaimed.

"What?!" Debbie's eyes widened.

"And Lou, you're just a baby. That's why you're not playing." Tammy added. Everyone knew what they said would surely convince Lou and Debbie to play. And they did. Little did they know, there was a little magnet inside the bottle that Nine placed inside earlier. And under the table, Nine also had another magnet. So it basically controlled the direction the bottle moved from under the table. All 5 have agreed that once Lou and Debbie did their kiss, they'd all make their way out of Tammy'shouse, silently and leave Lou and Debbie to do their thang. Lou and Debbie, on the other hand, were anxious. Whether they'd land the bottle on anyone or them both, they were anxious still. They all bent down and circled around the coffee table.
