the right direction, slapping my ass then chuckling as I shoot him a warning look over my shoulder.
“Have fun, remember we are just upstairs if you need us, ok?” He says his tone serious.
“Ok” I reply, watching him disappear back upstairs then turning to face Kat and Jenny.
“Ok” Jenny claps, “I figured we would just watch something like friends first so we can write a list of things we want to get and not be distracted by the movie, sound good?”
“Sounds good” Kat replies as I just nod.
“What sorts of things do you need to get?” Kat asks me as we settle down on the sofa, each of us grabbing a blanket and pulling it over us as Jenny hands out coffees and Kat hands out her cookies.
“I know it’s the morning but it is the holidays and you went through hell yesterday so I’ve made the coffees Irish” Jenny grins as I gape at her, not expecting that in the slightest. I take a sip not really knowing what an Irish coffee is, just knowing that it’s got some sort of alcohol in it.
Oh Wow, this might just become my new favourite drink.
Jenny puts friends on the background, and I put my cookie in my mouth so I can reach out and grab a notebook and pen from the coffee table, Jenny really did think of everything.
“I need more pyjamas, tops, jeans and jumpers but Riot also mentioned something about snow stuff and to be honest I haven’t got any idea what I need for the trip” I shrug.
“Right ok, well these are the websites I use for the clothes and this one is brilliant for snow stuff,” Jenny says as she writes down a list of websites and hands it to me.
“As for what you’ll need snow wise, I’d suggest a full snow suit and snow boots, it gets bloody cold up there. Thermal leggings and long sleeved tops for underneath” Kat starts, “do you have a hat, scarf and gloves?”
“Nope” I say as I continue to eat my cookie, writing down everything she suggests.
“In that case you’ll need those too but I’d double up on gloves if I were you, especially if you’re not used to the cold” she grins. “I also have a perfect site for snow boots, on the more expensive side but they are beautiful and well worth the money” she adds.
“Sounds good to me, let’s get started” I say grinning, excitedly.
Chapter Five
We spend a good part of the morning shopping and talking. It’s honestly really nice to have some girl time, it feels really relaxed and chilled out. There’s no expectations or awkwardness and actually even with Rylie it doesn’t feel this chilled, I just hadn’t noticed before since I didn't have anything else to compare it to. Now that I think of it, Rylie hasn’t messaged me at all and I sent her a text earlier whilst I was getting dressed, letting her know what happened with Jeremy. I know it was Winter formal last night but it’s gone lunch time now and she still hasn’t replied. It’s probably nothing but I know that if she had gone through what I had last night, I probably would have turned up at her house and not let her out of my sight until I knew for certain she was going to be ok. I know I have the guys and honestly if I didn’t have them last night, I would’ve been an absolute mess but regardless it still would’ve been nice to hear from her.
I hope she’s ok. Hopefully she’s just gotten caught up with Darcy and her phone’s died or something, so she hasn’t got my messages. She probably thinks that I’m having sexy times with my guys.
I fucking wish.
“Are you girls hungry?” Jenny asks as she stands up.
“Sure but since we are pigging out all day and are having takeout tonight, do you want to have something a bit lighter for lunch?” Kat asks.
Honestly I am feeling super stuffed from all my snacking anyway so lighter lunch sounds awesome. That way I’ll have more room for pizza later.
“That works for me” I agree turning towards Jenny.
“I’m pretty sure I have the stuff to make Caesar salads?” She asks.
“I’ve never had one but there’s not much I won’t try” I laugh. “What about the guys?”
“They can fend for themselves, they’re more than capable enough to make themselves sandwhiches” Jenny giggles.
“Fair enough” I grin.
“Get the wine Jen, we’ve already had Irish coffee we
