Nick and Brian were on the floor, leaning against the couch that was occupied by Hope, Destiny, AJ, BJ, the twins and myself. Howie and Kevin were sitting in two of the arm chairs. And Leslie was stretched out on the floor in front of Nick and Brian.
The movie we were watching was a classic choice. Dumb and Dumber. "And how many times has everyone here seen this movie?" I asked laughing as Nick and Brian recite the lines from memory.
"Way too many!" BJ answers, also laughing.
"No one was talking to you BJ!" Nick chokes out between laughs.
"Well, actually Faith was. She was talking to everyone." Nick doesn’t answer that one. He just pulls her down from the couch where she had been sitting next to me.
When he has her on the floor he starts to tickle her and doesn’t stop until she threatens to puke all over him. She starts to regain her composure and just to annoy her he decides to sit where she had been sitting before. Next to me.
"Nick get up!"
"No BJ. I don't wanna."
"Fine be that way!"
"Oh don't you worry. I will." Having heard that she sat on him. He lets out a loud "Oofff!"
"Oh, shut up! I’m not that heavy!"
"That’s what you think!" Brian burst out.
"Shut up! No one asked you Brian!"
"Hey! That is the second time someone has said that to me in the past hour and a half. What is this? Gang Up On Brian Day?"
"YES!!!!!" Everyone said at once.
"OK! Just checking! Boy oh boy do I feel loved."
After everyone laughed some more we continued watching the movie. Five minutes later the door bell rang. "I’ll get it." Brian jumped up. "Nick why don't you come with me?" Nick looked at him confused but got up after pushing BJ off of his lap and practically into mine.
They went to the front door and got the pizzas. They then took them to the kitchen, which was right off of the room we were all in. I could tell that they were talking but I couldn’t tell what they were talking about.
After a few more minutes they called everyone into the kitchen, to eat. "You mean there is still some food in here? I was afraid that you two eaten it all!" Kevin joked.
"Ha Ha, Kev! You are just soooooo funny," Brian said sarcastically.
"I know! Aren’t I though?"
They remind me of a large family. Family....I wish mine was still talking to me. Well, two of my four older brothers are but the other two and my parents haven’t talked to me since they found out.
They were very unhappy about the fact that I was making them grandparents at age 18. I can’t say that I blame them. The brothers that are talking to me, Seth and Shane, are the ones that I have always got along with the best. When I told them I was afraid that they would cut me off, like the others but they are standing by me. It is nice to know that I do have some support from sources other than Tiny and Hope.
I don't ONLY have Shane and Seth to help me, but I also have Jared Dayton and Jeff Hoffmann. They are Shane and Seth’s best friends and I have known them since I was little. They are close friends. But other then those six I have no one.
And Jake isn’t helping.
But anyway, we all get our food and go back into the living room to watch the rest of the movie.
Aaron was asleep on couch next to me and had his head in my lap. Angel was sitting on the other side of me, also asleep. She was using my leg as a pillow. Nick was sitting to the right of her. Destiny and AJ were in the family room talking and Hope was asleep on the floor.
Leslie and BJ had gone up to the loft to look around an hour before and hadn’t come down so I am assuming that they fell asleep. That leaves Brian, Kevin, Howie, Nick and I sitting in the living room watching TV. Nick was almost asleep. Brian was stretched out on the floor in front of the couch while Kevin and Howie, again, were sitting in two of the arm chairs.
"Nick?" I asked, whispering.
"What, huh?" He jerked up and looked around. I was surprised he could hear me over the blare of the TV. "Oh, Faith. Sorry."
"It’s OK. You don't look very comfortable that’s all. You can lay down."
"But if I lay down then I’ll be using you as a pillow, either that or my feet will be in your lap."
"I think I would prefer that you use me as a pillow. It’s OK. I don't mind and it isn’t like I was planning on going anywhere soon." I said looking down at the twins.
"Are you sure?" I nod and he proceeded to lay down. He moved Angel a little towards the edge of the couch and lays behind her. But, so that she doesn’t fall on top of Brian, he holds on to her. Once he is situated he closes his eyes.
What a sight we must have been!
