It's Hard to Make It Look Easy

Ch.12

I was woken up by Bella nudging my head and neck with her cold and wet nose and it was making me giggle because I was ticklish on my neck

"Ok Bella, I'm up, I'm up" I said sitting up and she barked happily and jumped off the bed and headed out of the room

I got up and went to the bathroom to do my normal routines and then I let Bella outside and I fixed myself some eggs and toast. While I was fixing my eggs and toast my doorbell rang

Who's coming to see me this early? I thought and went to the door and opened it

When I opened it, it revealed Zak, Nick, Aaron, and Billy. Zak had a hot pink envelope in his hand, Nick had a small white gift bag with a blue and lavender flowers on it, Aaron had a dozen balloons, one had 'Happy Birthday' on it, and the rest were different shades of blue with little drawings that he drew and he had a light pink and red box, and Billy had a small velvet blue box.

"Come on in guys, I was just making breakfast, do you guys want any?"

"What are you having?" Aaron asked

"I'm making eggs and toast"

"Sure, I'll have some" he said with a grin

"Ok, anybody else?"

"I ate before I came, maybe next time" Zak said

"I would love to... but I had a huge breakfast my wife made me" Nick said with a sad look

"I'll have some" Billy said

"Ok, you guys can put those over there" I said pointing to the couch

I started walking off, then stopped

"Oh... and make yourselves at home"

then I started walking back to the kitchen to finish making breakfast. Bella came running through the dog door and started running, but not going anywhere because she was going to fast. She finally regained traction and ran into the living room to greet the guys. I just smiled and shook my head

That dog is nuts I thought

I turned on the little radio I had in my kitchen and when I turned it on that song was playing

Why is it everytime I turn this stupid thing on that song is on, but the song is good and I can't turn it off I thought

Then Billy came walking into the kitchen when it hit the chorus

It's easy going out on Friday night
Easy every time I see her out
I can smile, live it up the way a single guy does
But what she, what she don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so easy


I then started to quietly sing the second verse

The truth is, I miss lyin' in those arms of his
But I don't ever let it show
I laugh and I act like I'm havin' the time of my life
As far as he knows

It's easy going out on Friday night
Easy every time I see him out
I can smile, live it up the way a single girl does
But what he, what he don't know
Is how hard it is to make it look so easy


I sighed then put the eggs and toast on the plates and when the song ended I turned off the radio and picked up the plates and turned around and saw Billy, I looked away from him and said

"Your plate's on the counter" then walked past him

Once I was in the living room I handed Aaron his plate smiling

"Here ya go"

"Thanks... it smells good" he said taking a wiff of it

and then Billy came out of the kitchen with his plate and sat down next to Aaron. While I sat inbetween Nick and Zak

"What's wrong you two?" Zak asked sensing the tension between me and Billy

"Nothing's wrong with me, Billy is there something wrong?" I asked

"No, perfectly fine" he said putting on his best fake smile and putting some food in his mouth

"It should be fine" Nick said looking at him

which made me look at Nick and then Billy

"What happend?" Aaron asked taking another bite

"Well, me and Pam are getting married"

I almost choked on the toast I was eating

Is he serious? Boy she really brainwashed him I thought

"Bri, are you ok?" Zak asked rubbing my back

"Yeah, I'm fine, I need something to drink to wash the toast down" I said getting up and going into the kitchen

I opened the refridgerator and got out the milk and got a cup and poured the milk into the cup and drank it quickly and then put the cup in the sink and put the milk back up and went back into the living room

"Guys, let's not talk about me right now, today is Bri's birthday, focus on her" Billy said

"The food was great Bri" Aaron said getting up with a smile and headed to the kitchen

"Thanks Aaron"

He then came back

"Alright, Bri, do you want to open your presents?"

"Sure" I said sitting down and started to reach for one

"Not yet" Aaron said

I looked at him confused

"We still have to sing Happy Birthday" he said with a huge smile

I groaned and they started singing.

"Thank you guys" I said and Aaron gave me his present first

when I opened it I took out a black hoodie with a person Big Steppin'

"Your the first one that got one, they're not even released yet" he said

"Thank you Aaron" I said hugging him

I then picked up the gift bag that Nick brought and inside there was a set of body products, it had lotion, purfume, a bubble bath mix, and it smelled like raspberries

"Thanks Nick" I said hugging him

"Not a problem"

then it was time for Zak's envelope, I opened it and it had a $50.00 gift card to Victoria's Secret

"Thanks Zak, how did you know I liked that store?" I said hugging him

"Your welcome, and doesn't every girl like that store?"

"I know a couple that can't stand that store"

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's kind of sad"

Then I opened Billy's present, when I opened it there was a beautiful silver necklace that had diamonds making the letter B in a fancy font. I just sat there and looked at it

Why? I thought

"Do you like it?" Billy asked

I snapped out of my thoughts

"Yeah, it's beautiful"

"Would you like me to put it on you?"

"No, I don't want to wear it right now...thanks for the present" I said hugging him

"Bri, we've got one more present for you, but it's at the office" Zak said

"Ok, well let's go" I said and we headed out the door and to the office.

When we arrived at the office we headed to the evidence/review room and Zak stopped

"Before I let you go in, the reason we done this was because we all have something that we like in here, and now you do too" he said with his hand on the door knob

I looked at him confused and then he opened the door and my mouth flung open and I walked inside. There by the tall windows was a see through hanging blue bubble chair that had sparkles melted into the plastic and it had light blue fuzzy cushions (if u don't know what it is type in hanging bubble chair)

"Do you like it?" Nick asked

"Like it? I love it, Thank you" I said and sat down in it

The rest of the day we had fun at the office and went out to eat and the guys were not at my house getting ready to leave

"Bri, do you want to go out to the club tonight or are you ready to relax?" Nick asked

"I think I'll stay here and relax, I had a great birthday, thanks guys"

"Alright" Nick said with a chuckle and then hugged me and left

"I'll see you later" Aaron said hugging me then left

"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Zak asked

I chuckled alittle

"Yes, I'm sure"

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow" he said hugging me and left

"Do you want me to stay Bri, I can cancel what I have going on" Billy said

"No, go do what you need to do" I said sternly

"Fine, just don't do anything stupid Bri" he said hugging me and then leaving.

About 30 minutes later I started getting ready to go out to the club Once I was done I got in my car a drove to a club. Once I got there the music was loud and the place was going nuts. I sat at the bar and ordered a drink while listening to the music. While I was drinkng my drink I looked over at the DJ booth and saw Billy

REALLY!? Why is he here Djing? I thought

I downed my drink and got another and another and another. I danced with a few guys until they started getting alittle to touchy-feely with me and I went back to the bar and got another drink.
Before I knew it, it was closing time

"Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to leave, it's time to close up" the bouncer said

I was about to say something

"Don't worry, she's with me, let me put my things in my car and I'll come back and get her"

"Alright"

I put my head on the bar counter and a few minutes later somebody was shaking me slightly

"Bri, come on, let's go"

I looked up and saw Billy. He helped me off the stool and put an arm around my waist to keep me balanced

"Bri I told you not to do anything stupid" he said walking me to his car

"I didn't do anything stupid, I just had a few drinks, how's that stupid?"

"Bri, I watched you, you had about 10 different drinks"

"Whatever"

he then opened the passenger door

"What are you doing?"

"I'm taking you back home, you're to drunk to drive"

"I'm fine" I said and tried to walk

but I stumbled and Billy caught me

"Breanna, no you're not, now get in"

I then got in and he shut the door and then got in and drove off to my house. It was quiet on the way to my house, the only thing that I could hear was the radio softly playing. About 15 minutes later we arrived at my house, Billy turned off the car and got out and came to get me out, once he had the door open he extended his hand and I smacked his hand away and got out

"Like I said, I'm fine" I said standing up wobbily

he shut the car door and put an arm around my waist

"Bri, I'm just trying to help so you don't get hurt" he said as we walked up the stairs and to my door

Billy opened the door and there was a happy Bella at the door

"How's my little baby?" I asked and went inside

Billy came inside and shut the door and helped me to the couch. I sat down and took off my shoes and Bella jumped on my lap and then Billy sat down. A few minutes of silence passed and Bella had calmed down and went to go sleep in her dog bed

"Billy, I've got to ask you something and I want the truth, do you still love me? Because if you don't then why did you buy me that $2,000 necklace? And why did you bring me home?"

"I bought you that necklace because it was your birthday and I brought you back so you wouldn't get in an accident or thrown in jail for a DUI, and how did you know how much that necklace cost?"

"Me and Kelly went shopping at the mall and I saw it in the window. And Billy, you might not believe me when I say this because I'm drunk but I still love you" I said kissing him on the lips

we then pulled apart

"Bri, this isn't a good idea, your drunk"

"No I'm not, and apparently you do love still or you would've stopped me from kissing you"

"Bri, I'm going to be a married man in a couple of months"

"You're not married yet, that fake whatever she is doesn't have to know, and I know you don't love her"

I kissed him again and then we pulled apart. Billy then put his arms around my waist and kissed me
"Bri, I still love you" he said inbetween kisses

I put my arms around his neck and he then picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him while he walked to my bedroom. When we were at my bedroom door he pinned me to it so he could open it and he started nipping at my neck

"Bri, are you sure?" he asked whispering in my ear and nipping at it

I gasped and clung to him more

he then got the door open.Once inside my bedroom he closed the door with his foot and laid me gently on the bed and then crawled up on top of me and started kissing me while gently biting my bottom lip and nipping my neck and I moaned while running my hands threw his hair. Next thing we knew clothes were scattered everywhere and we were making love.

The next morning I woke up to somebody's arm holding me alittle tighter and the person snuggled into my hair

Who's with me? I thought panicing

And I started thinking back

After the guys brought me back and left I went to the club, had a few drinks, danced and...saw Billy DJing, what else happend? I thought and then I heard

"Bri, what's wrong?"

I turned my head slightly and saw Billy and I calmed down and then I felt him rub my side soothingly

Wait, why do I feel naked... I thought

then I realized we both were nude then Billy's phone went off and he turned over and picked up his pants to get it and answered it. I got up and went to my dresser and pulled out some clean clothes and went into the bathroom and got cleaned up. Once I was done I got dressed and opened the door and saw Billy in his clothes lounging on my bed, I then put my hand to my head

Maybe I shouldn't have drank that much I thought

"So how's that hangover treating ya?" Billy asked with a smirk and put his hands behind his head and watched me

I just glared at him and then I felt nauseated and went back to the bathroom and threw up. I heard Billy come in the bathroom

"Next time you see me drinking, stop me" I said with my head still in the toliet

When I was done I flushed the toliet, took a pain reliever, and then brushed my teeth, and then I turned to Billy

"So, when your so called fiance finds out about last night, what are you going to do?"
he just shrugged

"Ready to go get your car and head to the office?"

I sighed

"I guess"

we then walked to his car and he took me to my car and then he went home and changed. I drove to work and then went into the office and went straight to my blue blubble chair to relax. Apparently I took a nap because the next thing I knew I heard Billy and Aaron so I opened my eyes

"Well, looks like sleeping beauty's awake" Aaron said smiling

"Hi Aaron"

"Bri, Billy tell me the truth, what's going on between you two or what was going on between you
two, Billy I know you were at her house all night...So what's going on?" Aaron asked with a serious face

I looked at Billy and then back at Aaron

How did the goofball of the group figure it out before the others? Well, I guess we have to tell him I thought.
