We pulled into the parking lot and I turned off the engine. “This is it.” Angelise looked up from her phone and smiled, “Cool.”
“Ready to make the dreadful trip up the 3 flights of stairs?” I sighed looking at the stairs and she laughed, “It’s not that bad. Lets go.”
We both hopped out of the jeep and walked up the stairs. I unlocked the door and pushed it open while looking at Angelise, “So its kind of a mess right now. Sorry, I haven’t really had a good day today and we still haven’t cleaned up from yesterday.” Angelise’s eyes were wide and she started laughing, I looked into the apartment and laughed.
Charlie was dancing around in her bra and spankies with her headphones in and…. Cleaning? We walked in and put our stuff on the couch. Charlie still hadn’t noticed we were there so I threw a couch pillow at her, “CHARLIE!” she jumped and pulled out an ear bud while turning, “Why aren’t you at work?” I asked confused
“Oh, um some band is making an appearance there, they only need half of the staff and I was one of the chosen to go home.” She smiled (Charlie works at the local hot topic), “I should probably go and get dressed, huh?”
I nodded and laughed, “Yeah, probably.”
“Sorry about that.” Charlie said to Angelise right before she went to her room. Angelise laughed a little bit, “It’s fine.”
I turned to angelise smiling, “So. What would you like to do? We can prank call people, eat, play video games, watch movies…. Eat.”
She laughed, “I don’t know, you’re the hostess, and I think you might be hinting towards you’re hungry. We can eat.”
“Great choice.” I smiled and walked into the kitchen, I played it safe and made ramen noodles. “So, I make these weird. They’re really good, do you trust me?” I smiled at her and she shrugged her shoulders, “Yeah, as long as you don’t poison me I’m good.”
“Okay then.” I chuckled and started boiling water. After it was boiling I added the noodles, once I was done with that, I got out a strainer and poured the contents of the pan into it. I poured the noodles back into the pan after they were strained and added a little bit of butter and milk and then added the sauce packets. I served the three of us bowls and I handed one to Angelise, “Well, tell me what you think.” She took a bite and her eyes went wide, “This is really good!”
“I knew you’d like it.” I smiled and leaned out of the kitchen doorway, “Charlie! Food!” I yelled towards her room and then returned to the table so I could eat. Charlie came walking in and sat down while grabbing her bowl.
“So what band is making an appearance?” I asked between bites, she swallowed a mouthful of noodles and looked at me, “I don’t exactly know, it’s a local one but I don’t know the name. I know for a fact it’s not our boys though.”
I laughed,” I hope not if my plan is going to work.”
Charlie and Angelise both looked at me confused and I sighed, “I can’t exactly tell you. Lets just say it involves a couple really cute guys.”
“Now you have to tell us.” Tasha said looking at me, Angelise nodded in agreement. “Fine!” I glared at them, “Angelise, you’re single right?”
“Yeah, and?”
“Well, I was planning on having the boys come over. I mean Tony, Jaime and Mike anyways. Vic can’t hangout with us until Aliyah gets here.” I laughed and took a bite of my ramen.
“Wait, what do you mean when Aliyah gets here?” Charlie asked me, “Oh! I completely forgot to tell you. Aliyah is moving in with us.” I had a mouthful of noodles.
“Finally!” Charlie threw her hands up in the air and laughed, “Who’s Aliyah?” Angelise looked at me, “She’s one of our best friends, she lives back in Utah, where we’re from.”
“No way! You’re from Utah? What part?” Angelise smiled
“Tooele. Why?”
“I’m from Utah! Well, I’m technically from Idaho, but I grew up in Utah, Grantsville.”
I gasped, “No way! I was born in Idaho! And then I moved to Utah when I was four.” We both smiled and laughed.
“I guess you two have more in common than you thought. So when is Aliyah coming?” Charlie said smiling, “Thursday morning at like 9:30.”
“Wait, who’s picking her up, she’s flying right? We both work.”
“Yeah, she’s flying. And Vic is picking her up. But don’t tell her who is picking her up, it’s a surprise.” I gave Charlie an evil smile and she returned it, “Oh, she is gonna hate you!”
“Why would you’re friend hate you?” angelise joined in the conversation, “Because Vic is her favorite/crush in the band. She’s met him once at a concert and couldn’t even talk because she was so nervous.” Charlie laughed and looked at me, and I smiled, “Although, she did say and I quote, ‘the next time I meet him will be on accident and I wont be nervous.’ End quote.”
“Aha, she did say that.” We both shared that evil smile one more time before dropping the subject, “Well I’m done. Who wants to play video games for a while?” I looked at Angelise who looked deep in thought, “Hello? Earth to angelise? Hhheeeelllooo?” I waved me hand in front of her face and she jumped, “Huh? Oh yeah, we can play video games. Sorry I was just thinking.”
“About what?” I nudged her playfully and took her bowl to rinse it.
“Just about everything.”
“What’s everything?” Charlie got up and put her bowl in the sink so I could rinse it as well.
“Oh, just stuff like work and my tattoo and how it itches like a mofo. And how I’m most likely going to meet my celebrity crush today, so ya know, the usual.” We all laughed and I finished putting the dishes in the dishwasher, “Not most likely, you will meet him today, even if we do have to lure him here with weed and Jack Daniels that we don’t have.” We all erupted in laughter, “Yeah, there is no way that Mike is having any of my weed, he can get his own!” Charlie folded her arms and pretended to be mad.
“We only need it for leverage, we’re not actually gonna smoke it, not in this apartment anyways. I don’t want my apartment to smell like a skunk.”
“That’s what it smells like?” angelise asked, Charlie and I stared at her in shock. Angelise started squirming, “What?”
“You’ve never smelled pot?” I said still shocked
“Nope. Surprising huh?” she laughed a little bit.
“Well you gon’ learn today.” Charlie and I started laughing and angelise was looking confused, “what’s so funny?” Charlie and I were on the floor clutching our stomachs, “In…. side…. joke….” I was trying to talk in between gasps of air.
“Oh… okay?” she laughed a little bit.
After we got our breathing and laughing under control we got up and wiped away our tears. “Well, shall we call Le Michael Fuentes?” I smiled and took out my phone. I dialed mikes number and put the phone to my ear. Ring ring. Ring ring. Ring ring. Ring ring. “Hello?”
“Miiiiiiikkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeee…”
“Wwwhhhhaaaaaaaatttttttt.???” He groaned
“Wanna come over?” I said it so fast I almost didn’t understand myself. “Sorry, Em. I can’t.”
“Why are you being an douche canoe.”
“Because I can be, and I’m making new material for MikeyWhiskeyHands.”
“But I have alcohol. Jack Daniels to be exact.” I smiled in the phone.
“But I really need to write new songs.” He whined.
I sat there thinking for a minute. “Should I tell him?” I asked Charlie.
“Tell me what?” he asked me.
“Shhh. I’m talking to Charlie.” I responded to him.
“Did he refuse the alcohol?” Charlie asked me.
“Yeah, shockingly.” I smiled
“Hey!” Mike said loudly and Charlie started laughing.
“Yeah. I guess you can tell him. But he’ll owe me.” Charlie managed to say when she could breath.
“Okay. I’ll tell him that.” I said to Charlie before returning to my phone call.
“Okay, Charlie says she has some weed she’ll share with you if you come over.”
“Okay! But why does she want to share? She never shares!” he asked.
“Because she bought way more then she planned. And I know right?!” I said without thinking.
He laughed. “I’ll be over in a few minutes. Is everyone else gonna be there?”
“Yeah, but not for awhile.” I responded.
“Oh, okay. I’ll see you soon.” He said.
“Alright. Bye Mike Wasowski.” I said cheerfully.
I hung up the phone and looked at Angelise with a huge grin.
“Is he coming?!” she asked.
“Yeah!” I said loudly.
We all sat there laughing like little five year olds.
“Shit.” Charlie groaned.
“What?” I asked her.
“I don’t even know if I have weed.” She was looking at me worried. “And I can’t go buy some on such a short notice.”
“Fuck dude. You better go check!” I said to her. She was giving me a weird look. “What?” I asked.
“Are you okay?” she asked me while putting her hand on my forehead. “I’ve never heard you say fuck unless you were really pissed off.”
I pushed her hand away laughing, “Yeah, I’m fine you weirdo. Now you better go look before he gets here.”
She laughed, “Okay.” And walked to her room.
I watched her disappear into her room and then I looked at Angelise.
I gave her a nudge, “You nervous?”
She just nodded her head. I guess she was speechless.
“Don’t worry. You’ll be fine. Charlie and I are gonna be here with you.” I said smiling at her. She smiled at me than looked at her hands.
“Aha! I found some!” we heard Charlie yell from her room. Angelise and I both started laughing when she came running out of her room with the bag in her hand. “See?” she said smiling. “Its not a lot. But I could always ‘drop some’.” She said smiling at us while air quoting. Then she walked back into her room.
“Angelise is nervous. What should we do to break the ice?” I asked Charlie when she sat back down on the couch.
“Hmmm. Lets think.” She said sitting back, looking at the ceiling while putting her hand on her chin and started tapping.
We sat there thinking for a couple minutes when I sat up, “Do we have syrup?” I asked with an evil grin.
Charlie just looked at me. I waited while my plan sunk in and she gave me an evil grin, “I think we do.” She got up really fast and went into the kitchen.
“We do!” she yelled from the pantry.
I stood up and got a bucket to put the syrup in. I motioned Angelise to follow me into the kitchen.
Charlie was opening the bottle when we got there, and I set the bucket on the table. Charlie started pouring the new two-gallon bottle of syrup into the bucket.
“Charlie go stand by the window and watch for him while Angelise helps me put this on the door.” I quickly ran and laid down a couple towels by the door so the syrup wouldn’t get on the carpet.
“Okay.” She smiled and went over to the window.
I ran back tot the kitchen and grabbed the bucket before going back over to the door and passing it to Angelise, “Hold this.” She took the bucket in both hands so she wouldn’t drop it. I measured how big the bottom of the bucket was so I could put it on the door without it falling to soon.
I had just barely put the bucket on the door when Charlie yelled, “He’s here! Hurry! Everyone come sit down!”
Angelise and I looked at each other and she helped me off the chair and Angelise went and sat next to Charlie on the couch and I sat on the huge bean bag to act like we have been playing Black Ops the whole time.
He knocked on the door, “Hello?”
“Come in!” Charlie yelled.
We all looked at the door and watched him come in. he slowly pushed open the door, “So, what’s u-” the bucket fell from the door and landed upside down literally on his head. All of us erupted in laughter.
“What the fuck?!” he pulled the bucket off of his head and looked me dead in the eye. “Whose idea was this?”
Charlie and I both raised our hands.
“You are so getting it!” He said while running towards us.
We both screamed and started to run to Charlie’s bedroom. “Angelise, run!” I stopped as I watched mike turn towards her, “And were you in on this as well?” he started walking towards her.
“N-n-n-no.” she stuttered while walking backwards away from him. “I mean, kind of I guess. B-but..”
“Fine, I’ll let you go this time. Just cause you’re new.” He smiled at Angelise and turned after Charlie and I once again and started chasing us. “come here, Emily! Running is useless, I’ll catch you anyways!”
“Never!” Charlie had ran into her room and slammed the door, so Mike was now chasing me around the couch. “Wanna bet?” mike jumped over the couch and was about to grab me, but he missed and tripped over himself, while Angelise was in the corner laughing her ass off. “You can shower!” I yelled running into my bedroom for cover.
He stopped. “Good. Your lucky I can.” He looked at Angelise. “Both of you are.” Then started to walk to the bathroom. Angelise and I were still laughing as Charlie poked her head out of her room, “Is the coast clear?”
“Yeah, now it is. Thanks for locking me out of your room, skank.”
Charlie smiled sweetly and batted her eyelashes before sitting down on the couch with Angelise.
We soon heard the water turn on. I looked at Charlie and smiled, “should we play another prank on him?”
“No! I am not getting in more trouble with him than I already am.”
“Angelise, do you wanna play a prank on him with me?” I gave her the puppy dog look. She stopped laughing and sat up, “yeah, no. I still haven’t really even met him and I am not getting off on the wrong foot; even more than I already am anyways.”
“Fine. I guess I’ll just play a prank on him by myself.” I started walking towards the bathroom and looked back at them, “Just be prepared. It’s gonna be rated R.” I turned toward the bathroom for a second and looked back at them, “Okay, possibly X, but I can’t be positive. It depends on how he reacts.” and I walked to the bathroom. I opened the door silently and stepped in leaving it open. I grabbed Mikes towel and clothes and took them, hiding them in my room. I went back into the bathroom and slowly walked up to the curtain, “hey, mike…”
“Yeah, Em?” He responded while still showering.
“You know that I love you right?” I was trying very hard not to laugh
“Yeah, why?”
“Because of this.” I grabbed a handful of the curtain and yanked pulling the curtain down and exposing mike, “HAHA! See ya Whiskey hands!” I then ran out of the bathroom grabbing his phone off of the counter and screaming. Mike was following and yelling at me, “EMILY! Where the fuck are my clothes?! And my towel!” I ran out the front door and stood in the hallway holding his phone and the shower curtain, mike came running into the living room completely exposed. He stood staring at me, he heard Charlie laughing and Angelise giggling, he slowly turned around to look at them. I looked passed mike to angelise; “He’s white as all hell huh?” she laughed and nodded.
Mike slowly scooted closer to the couch and took the blanket to wrap himself in. “Uuummmm. Emily, who is this again?”
“Oh, this is angelise, she’s my…uh..Friend.”
“Oh, well hello there Angelise. You have now pretty much seen THE Michael Fuentes Naked. Consider yourself lucky.”
“Hey, Em.” I looked down the hall to see Jaime walking towards me, “Oh, hey JAIME.” I emphasized his name hoping that everyone else would catch on, but I guess they’re too blonde. Jaime walked over to me and kissed my cheek, “So, what’s u-” he looked up and saw mike. “Emily, why is there a naked mike in your living room?”
“Uhh… I played a prank on him. Hey, Jaime. This is angelise.” I pointed to her but Jaime ignored me, “What kind of prank did you play on him?”
“They dropped a bucket of syrup on me, then I was showering and Emily took the shower curtain along with my clothes, phone and towel.” Mike shot me a glared and then returned his eyes to Jaime, “Well, I guess I’m going to go back into the bathroom now.” Mike awkwardly walked back into the bathroom and shut the door.
