12 : Slumber Party

AALIYAH

Out of all the things Desirée could come up with. She had the idea for a slumber party.

So now here I am straightening up the house trying to make sure everything looks presentable.

"Everything looks fine," Desiree said sitting on the couch watching Grey's Anatomy and eating a bag of chips. "Oh yeah by the way we're definitely watching Vampire Diaries tonight."

I went down to sit on the couch beside her and dug out of the bag of chips that she was eating out of. "Do you think they'll like it?"

"I didn't think of that but then again it doesn't matter."

"Fair point."

"You know you never told me what Lucas meant when he said he likes all the shows you watch."

"Oh, that yeah that was nothing."

She stopped to stare at me.

"We just stayed on the phone and watched Grey's together all night."

She gasped dramatically. "Aaliyah Leilani that is so not nothing." She then hit me on the shoulder and went back to watching TV. "So are you letting him back in?"

That was a good question. I mean I kind of already let him back in, but I don't know if I should fully yet.

He really hurt me, but then again I still don't know why he did what he did.

"I mean I guess. It's just really hard to let him back in because of how he hurt me. But then again...I don't know. You know it's hard I guess."

"Well whatever you decide let it be what you think is best for you."

I smiled at her then we went back to watching Grey's Anatomy. I got up a little while later to go in the kitchen to get me something to drink.

When I went in there someone knocked on the door. Desirée went to open it and immediately started laughing.

I guess Xavier's here.

I walked into the living room and saw Lucas and Xavier standing in the entryway.

"Hey, guys," I said when I walked to where they were. Lucas stared at my face for a second and looked me up and down.

Then he licked his lips.

I didn't have on anything special and I surely didn't look my best.

My hair was in a messy bun with strands hanging out. I had on a gold necklace from a while ago, a white short-sleeved crop top with grey sweatpants on, and some white socks.

"Hey." Lucas and Xavier said simultaneously.

"We brought snacks," Xavier said holding up bags.

"You know you didn't have to do that," I said going over to get the bags.

"I know but we did anyway."

Lucas came over to take the bags from my hand a walked them over to the kitchen table.

"You know if you keep doing things like this I won't have any strength in my hand."

"We can work out together to make sure that won't happen."

We walked back over there and Desiree and Xavier were sitting down beside each other talking.  

I went to sit down on the couch and Lucas sat beside me. I sat back on the couch and he started playing with the strands of my hair.
