Chapter Six
"So, we have everything?" Xavier asked.
"Popcorn, check. Fake spider, check. And The Conjuring, check." I grinned at the list.
"Excellent." Xavier grinned evilly as he acted like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.
I rolled my eyes and watched out the window as Xavier drove the two of us home. I smiled and thought about how the prank would end up today. I was dying to see Neil and Margaret's faces today during the prank. I texted them to come over to ours to have a movie night today, but what I didn't tell him is that we were going to watch a horror movie.
Neil is extremely scared of horror movies and that kind of stuff. Hell, he's even scared of spiders! Get it? So the prank is to scare Neil, but I don't know if it's going to scare Margaret, but that should do the trick. I just can't wait for later!
"But I don't feel like Ryan should be in the house." Xavier said.
I completely agreed with him on that one. I was scared that Ryan would get scared and get nightmares for a few days later on, considering the fact that he had a terrifying past.
"I agree. But what are going to do then?" I asked.
"How about we ask dad to spend some time with him?" Xavier suggested.
"That could be an option!" I grinned.
---
I ran and hugged dad tightly from behind. He laughed and turned around and hugged me back tightly, I giggled as he kissed my forehead.
"You're such a sweetheart." he said and motioned me to sit on the couch next to him.
"Hey dad!" Xavier walked into the living room and threw his car keys on the table as he sat down on the other side of dad.
"Hey, Xavier!" he patted his back.
Xavier smiled a real smile with a glint of love for dad in his eyes. I love the way Xavier loves dad. It makes me feel so happy, because I have loved my dad my whole life, but he never even appreciated my presence. It was painful, but I never hated my parents until they did that thing that day. I would never want to speak bad about my parents, but by the way they're acting, this is ridiculous.
When we told dad about the pregnancy, he was so happy that he was ready to throw a party! Yes, he was that happy! It was so adorable to see how happy he was, and Xavier said he liked my tomato face. That bitch.
The baby made me really excited. I literally can't wait until the baby's here. The family will be complete! Suddenly I remembered the reason why I was here. Mostly to see him and spend some more time with him, but also to ask about Ryan. If he would want to go out with him. It would be a great time for him and for Ryan. If he wanted to, of course.
"Dad, are you free tonight?" Xavier asked as if he read my mind.
That seems to happen a lot lately. Stupid husband.
"Yes. Surprisingly I am." he said.
The good thing was that dad didn't seem exhausted today. In fact, he seemed like he was ready to do anything for today. He seemed so happy. Maybe because he didn't go to the office today. I need to make more time for him so he visits the office a little less than he usually does. He needs to rest, which he doesn't do much.
"Why don't you spend some time with Ryan then? He even told me that grandpa doesn't play with him anymore." Xavier scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
Suddenly guilt was written all over dad's face and he scratched the back of his head sheepishly. Well, like father, like son. I smiled at both their sheepish look and shook my head.
"I'll go out with him today then." dad said and we grinned.
I rested my head on his shoulder and stared in front of me. He kissed my forehead and I felt him relax a little. He wasn't as tense as he was anymore and he began to loosen up a little.
"I love you, dad." I closed my eyes for a second.
"I love you too, sweetheart." he said and I imagined him smile.
---
"Bye mommy!" Ryan placed a big kiss on my cheek.
I grinned and said goodbye as dad and Ryan waved at us before driving away. I walked into the house and started preparing the popcorn and all the stuff for later. I wonder how it's going to be today. I can't wait to prank them!
If you're wondering where Xavier is, he's at work. He had to finish some paperwork, so he went to finish that and he said he'll be home before ten, so I hope he does and I also hope that he doesn't come home exhausted.
After making some food I went into the bedroom and turned on the TV. Just then I realized how much I've missed John. He has been away for nearly a whole month and it feels so weird without him. Especially how I'm used to his presence every time I look around.
John is very protective when it comes to me and Ryan. He even scolded a random guy at a store, because he was looking at me one time. It was hilarious though.The guy went all pale.
I glanced at my watch on the bedside table and saw that it was just five pm. So I decided to just read a book to pass some time. I looked in one of the drawers and found Looking For Alaska by John Green. I had read the Fault in Our Stars and I was completely devastated by that story.
I made myself comfortable on the bed and started reading the book like there was no tomorrow. It is an amazing story I might add. Awesome.
---
"I'm home!" I heard a voice and the bedroom door closing.
There was a kiss placed on my forehead and my eyes fluttered open. I groaned and sat up. I checked the time and saw that it was 10:30 pm already. How long was I asleep? And when the fuck did I fall asleep?
"So you're awake, I see." I heard a creepy voice all of a sudden and I yelped.
I placed my hand on my chest and breathed out in relief when I realized it was just Xavier. This guy need to stop doing that thing.
"You need to stop doing that." I groaned.
"Doing what?" he smirked.
I groaned. "Startling me!" I stood up from the bed.
He pulled out his button up shirt and placed it on the bed and once again he was shirtless in front of me. I swear he does that on purpose every damn time. And that shit is getting annoying! He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"What time are they coming over?" he asked.
"They'll be here by eleven." I said.
"Then I guess you should go shower." he smirked and I hit his chest before wriggling out of his grasp and walking to the bathroom after taking my towel.
I locked the door and stripped out of my clothes and jumped into the shower and cheerfully sang as I washed myself. I danced, sang, but carefully not slip and fall though, just like last time on that stupid honeymoon. That was a great honeymoon but at the end it was the worst thing ever.
I pushed the thoughts away and wrapped the towel around my body and went to brush my teeth. After brushing my teeth I walked into the bedroom and saw that Xavier wasn't there. Maybe he went to shower in the bathroom downstairs. I walked into the walk in closet and picked one of Xavier's over-sized shirts and one of my shorts. I wore my underwear, my bra and put on the clothes before walking downstairs. There I saw that Neil and Margaret were here already and I quickly walked over to them.
"Hey guys!" I hugged them.
"Hey Rod!" I glared at Neil, but he just smirked at me.
"Jerk." I scowled at him.
He shot me another cocky smirk and bro hugged Xavier. These two are two close. Too much.
"So what are we watching today?" Margaret asked.
I walked to the television and took The Conjuring in my hands and grinned at the two.
"NO! No! No! NO!" Margaret groaned.
"Are you kidding me!?" Neil scowled at me. "I am not watching that shit!" he rooted.
"Well, were watching this, so get fucking over it, you !" I said and placed the disk in the DVD.
"NO!" Neil yelled dramatically.
"And we're not scaredy-cats!" Margaret said.
"Right." Xavier said sarcastically.
The movie began and I paused it. "Okay everyone, on your places. We're watching this." I stated.
"Fine." Neil muttered and sat down on the couch and Margaret sat next to him.
Perfect.
I glanced at Xavier and he was grinning evilly at the two. I shook my head and sat down next to Xavier and played the movie. Xavier threw his arm over my shoulder as we watched the movie fully focused.
By the part where the movie was getting scarier and scarier, Xavier excused himself and walked put of the living room. I looked at Margaret and Neil and saw that they were watching the movie fully focused, not removing their eyes from it and occasionally startling when the creepy part pops out of nowhere. Every time they would slightly jump, I would giggle.
From the corner of my eye I saw Xavier tip toeing into the room with something in his hands. I tried holding in my laughter as I looked at the TV.
"Uh... Guys... There is something on my shoulder." Neil said, looking with wide eyes at the television screen.
"Neil, there's nothing there." I said flatly. "Stop. Just stop, because you can't scare us."
"I'm not lying! There is something on my fucking shoulder!" he yelled and looked behind him, but Xavier quickly ducked behind the couch and crawled to my side before Neil or Margaret could see him.
"This is getting creepy! Bitch, come sit next to us!" Margaret yelled and I giggled and went to sit next to her.
"Hey, where's Xavier?" Neil asked.
"He went to take a shower." I quickly made up an excuse.
They nodded and we continued watching the movie. I remembered hiding the fake spider behind the pillow I was leaning on and I slowly took the spider out without them suspecting it.
"Oh my god! That little piece of shit is fucking hideous!" Neil yelled as he jumped a bit. It was funny though.
I held the spider in my hand and did like I was about to take some popcorn. I did take the popcorn, but I left the fake spider behind in the bowl. I continued watching the movie like nothing was happening, also occasionally jumping along with the other two.
Suddenly I heard the neighbor's dog barking and I remembered the plan. It must be Xavier out there. I tried not to chuckle and watched the movie. The dog kept barking and Neil and Margaret kept eating the popcorn without looking. Finally I heard a scream and it didn't take long for me to realize that it was Margaret screaming.
"A spider! Aaahh!!!" she screamed and not short after that Neil screamed along too. It's contagious.
"It's just a spider! Why are you making such a big deal of it!?" Neil yelled.
"Then why are you yelling!?" Margaret yelled back.
"Because you're yelling!" Neil yelled again.
Margaret was about to say something, but a loud bang on the window startled them. They jumped from the sofa and clutched onto each other when they heard another loud bang on the window.
"What was that!?" Neil yelled taking a vase in his hand, with his other hand wrapped around Margaret's waist.
They walked towards the window with the vase in Neil his hands, while I just stood there and watched what they did. It was so funny to see their facial expressions! It just changed from horrified to extra horrified. I walked behind them and as Margaret quickly opened the window I quickly took the vase from Neil's hands before he hurts Xavier.
"Boo!" Xavier yelled as soon as the window opened and the two fell on the floor right on their butts.
Xavier and I laughed hysterically as the two just looked at us with the 'what the hell is happening here expression'
"You tricked us!" Neil yelled and Xavier was soon attacked by the son of Thor.
