That Summer
Damn Girl
Katie's POV
"Beau hurry up!" I yelled from the staircase. We had to be at the airport to pick up Annabella in half an hour. I couldn't wait to see that girl. It had been almost 4 months since I had seen her and we had a lot of catching up to do. Annabella was going to be staying in one of the spare bedrooms in our apartment. It was weird saying 'our'. I had always seen this place as Beau's and Jame's but now I was living here too. James was fine with me living here. He was more than happy to help when I was moving my stuff in and he was always up to make breakfast. At times he acted more like my boyfriend than Beau! With that thought I realized Beau didn't even respond to what I just said. I sighed and started trudging up the stairs.
"Beau, what the hell are you doing in here?" I said as I opened our bedroom door. Sure enough he was still in his boxers digging through a pile of clothes. He turned around and stood up. "Trying to find something to wear!" I laughed. "Beau we're going to the airport...no where special." He rolled his eyes and bent back down to dig through his clothes. "It might be easier to find something if you didn't make such a mess." Beau overagtingly through the shirt he had in his hand back in the pile and stood up again. "Katie, we could just stay here and let her walk if thats what you want." He gave a sly grin as we walked over and gently pushed me back down onto bed. I stopped him from going any further. "Beau, we need to go." He still wouldn't let me go until we heard the door open. "Did I hear arguing?" James said jokingly as he entered are room with nothing but a towel wrapped around him. "Dude get the hell outta here" Beau said getting off of me. "Come on you're half naked!" James just laughed at Beau's anger. "I could say the same to you" he said. "Yeah but I'm in the privacy of my own room trying to get ready." Beau was so funny when he was mad. He took everything too seriously. He didn't realize Neal was just joking with him. "Yah right. 'Getting ready'" Beau just stood there and glared at him. "Whattya want Neal" "I heard that you didn't have anything to wear so I brought you this." James through Beau a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and before Beau even caught it, James had left the room. "There ya go Beau now we can leave!" I kissed Beau on the cheek and exited the room to let him get dressed.
"So you tell Annabella good things about me?" Beau asked me as we drove to the airport. "I tell her your the best" I said sarcastically. "Hey what's that supposed to mean?!" He said as he looked over at me. I motioned for him to keep his eyes on thr road and then laughed. "Exactly what you think it means." He sighed. "Well then...." After that, we sat in mostly silence. I was too busy thinking about Annabella to talk. I had so much planned. We would go out to eat, go to one of Beau's hockey games, catch up on gossip, and so much more. Even James was excited. I told him I would be bringing back one of my single hot friends for him. I think Annabella and James would get along just perfectley.
"Annabella!" I yelled as soon as I saw her. Beau let go of my waist so I could run up and hug her. "I've missed you Katie" she said. We both hugged again and complimented each others outfits before walking back over to Beau. We talked for a little bit more before moving on. I didn't even talk much. I was too busy zoning out and planning the week in my head. I came back to Earth as soon as I heard something that I didn't expect to hear. What?! Did she really just say the word?! Did she really just say she had a boyfriend?! A million questions started popping into my head at once. I was about to open my mouth but Annabella had dismissed the subject. I looked over at Beau and he had shrugged his shoulders because he was just as confused as I was. Just great. James was gonna be a little lonely with Annabella here.
The car ride to our place was silent. She tried talking about other silly little things, but I made it a point not to engage in the conversation too much. I wanted to get the hell outta the car so I could pull her aside and ask her what the hell was going on. Annabella could tell I wantdd to do so. Everyone time I looked back at her she gave me a slight smile. Ugh Ann. We were gonna have a long talk.
"Thank god the boys had left." I said as I poured us both drinks and sat on the couch next to Annabella. I purposely sent Beau and James out of the house for a while so I could talk to Annabella. "You wanna know about Brendan don't you." Was all she said as she took a sip of out of her glass. I grinned. "Brendan Gallagher?" She blushed and nodded her head. "Damn girl. I knew the second you met him at the party you'd fall for him." She continued blushing. "Yah, he's somethin'". Annabella filled me in with every little detail of her and Brendan and it made me realize how far apart we had grown. We didn't even have time to talk about boys anymore. When James and Beau got home we decided not to talk about how attractive Brendan was anymore. Beau was the jealous type and I know if I said something in front of him he would make it a point not to pay me back later. And what did I tell you, Beau always knows how to win a girl over.
