It was 3:30 and Alex was about to pull her hair out. Amy had asked questions all last night and today, she was ready to just leave. She but her bags in her car and headed for the Carter’s. She pulled up to the gate around 4 and pushed the button. B.J.’s voice came over the intercom, “Hello?”
“Hey B.Jee, its Alex.”
“hey Alex, hold on a sec and I’ll open the gate.”
the gate opened and Alex drove up the circle drive and climbed out. Aaron and Angel came running around the corner to meet her. “Hey Alex!”
“Hey guys, how’s it going.”
“Fine.” The chorused “B.J.’s inside, you can just go in.” Angel said
“Okay, thanks.” Alex said. She walked in the house and found B.J in the kitchen making cookies, “Hey!”
B.J. looked up and grinned, “Hey!”
“Where do you want me to put my stuff?”
“Oh you can just put it in the living room. We’re gonna take it over tonight, because mom and Dad are gone until tomorrow.”
“Oh, they having a date?” Alex asked
“Yeah,”
“How sweet, I’ll go get my stuff, and then I’ll come help you.”
Alex went back out to her car and grabbed her bags, she noticed Nick’s truck was gone, and she wondered where he was. She went back in and dropped her stuff in the living room and then went to help B.J. with the cookies.
“Nick went to go get movies, he should be back in a little while.” B.J. told Alex as she walked back into the kitchen
“I hadn’t even noticed he wasn’t here.” Alex said with a smile
“Sure.” B.J. said laughing, “Well, everyone else should be here around 5.”
“5? I thought it was 4?
“Yeah, it changed.”
“You should have called me.”
“I needed someone to help, and Nick told me not too.” B.J. said with a grin
The girls finished the cookies, called in the pizza, and were cleaning up the kitchen when Nick came in with a stack of movies, “Where do you want these Bjee?”
“In the living room. Thanks.”
Nick walked past the girls and stopped to give Alex a quick kiss, “Hi.”
“Hey.” Alex breathed as he grinned at her
“Please, I’m gonna be sick.” B.J. said rolling her eyes, “You guys are not going to do that all night are you?”
“No, I’ll try to keep my hands off.” Nick ground as he walked into the next room
“Yeah right, like he can do that.” B.J. muttered
“I HEARD THAT!” Nick yelled from the other room
Alex and B.J. laughed and then they heard the buzzer for the intercom, “Okay, you ready to have fun?” B.J. asked
