Chris did end up staying home. He didn't seem thrilled about Brody going with me to the party, but he didn't say anything about it. When Brody and I got there most of the people from work were already there.
"Hey, awesome to see you guys!" Jake said, opening the door to his house.
"Of course bro!" Brody said, and shook his hand. Jake gave me a hug, and we went in. I saw Rob and Lukas in the corner showing each other fighting moves. Or what they thought were fighting moves anyway. I laughed when I saw them.
"Drink?" Brody asked.
"Pahleeze." I said, and he laughed and walked to the kitchen. I walked over to Rob and Lukas.
"HEY!" Rob shouted, and hugged me.
"Hey....weirdo." I said, and he laughed.
"Dude, this chick is so cool." He told Lukas.
"I know, I work with her too." He said.
"Shut up." I told them both.
"Did you friend come?" Rob asked me.
"My friend?" I asked.
"Your roomate." He clarified.
"Oh, Chris. No, he didn't come out. I came with Brody." I told him.
"What?" He asked.
"I came with brody." I said really slowly.
"Shut up, I heard you." He laughed. "Why though. Wasn't he being a dick?"
"Yeah, but we worked it out." I told him.
"Oh. Well, if he is a dick again, let me know. I'll kick some sense into him. WAHHHHAAAA!!!!" He said, then struck some wannabe nija pose. Lukas started laughing. Brody walked over and handed me a drink.
"Talking about me?" He asked joking around.
"We were just saying how totaly kick ass you were." I said.
"Yeah. I don't believe that." He said, and I lauhged. We talked for a while, and Brody put his arm around my waist and slid his hand in my back pocked while he was talking to Lukas. Rob looked at me, then down at Brody's hand. I just shrugged. He shook his had, and smiled.
"Right Blair?" Brody asked.
"Huh?" I asked.
"Indie is the best kind of music." He repeated.
"Oh. I don't listen to that." I told him. Lukas started to laugh.
"Sorry, I just never got into some of that stuff." I told him.
"She doesn't listen to Billy Idol or The Sex Pistols either." Rob said.
"Because they suck." Lukas said.
"Blasphemy!" Rob shouted, and pointed at Lukas.
"Whatever. What do you listen to Blair?" He asked me. I just shrugged. I couldn't really think of stuff. I hated being put on the spot like that. I didn't want them to think what I liked was stupid either.
"Oh come on. Just say it." Lukas said.
"Bon Jovi. David Bowie. A lot of 80's stuff." I said.
"But no BILLY IDOL? OR THE CLASH?" Rob asked.
"No. Sorry." I told him.
"We've got to get you listening to some better stuff." Brody said.
"Hey, leave her alone. She has great taste in music." Lukas said, coming to my aid.
"Thank you." I told him, and he smiled at me. I felt myself blush. I had always thought Lukas was so hot.
"Hey, do you want to go sit down?" Brody asked me, suddenly.
"Uh, sure. I guess." I told him. I had kind of wanted to talk more to Lukas and Rob, but Brody seemed anxious. I followed him to the couch and sat down.
"What is up with you?" I asked him.
"Nothing." He said.
"Brody, we talked about this." I told him.
"I know, but- ahhh. I can't help but like you." He said.
"I'm going to go see what Lydia is up to." I said. Before I could stand up, he grabbed me and kissed me. I kissed him back at first, then pulled away.
"Brody! What are you doing?" I asked him.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that!" He said.
"Yes you did!" I said, and stood up. I walked out to the back yard and sat down on the ground with my back to the fence. I wanted to think.
"Hey. You okay? I just saw what happened?" Rob asked, and walked up to me.
