"I missed you" I told him as I pulled him into a hug.
"Me too. My life has been so quiet recently." He jokes
"You mean boring and surrounded by un-intellectuals?" I joke right back.
"Totally. The Thesaurus you gave me has just been dusting away in my room." and our conversation and comfort starts right where it last left off.
Eventually we made it to the car and with some help from Luke we loaded it up and were on our way to the lake house and Luke was giving me a run down of the people I would be meeting.
"So right now Quinny is home and I think Norris might be here or is coming soon and maybe Brady too and Jacky is gonna be back on Monday with Cole and Z and next week on like Tuesday of next week Eddie, Duker, and Markie are coming and on the next day I think my parents are coming up and were doing dinner with them so you'll get a few days before the house is super full." He gives me the run down for what feels like the 170th time and every single one has changed.
"Cool and will I have to share a room with anyone?" I would totally understand if end up having to but I'm still not wishing for it to happen.
"Nope. The others like sharing rooms and what not and I didn't wanna force you to Michigan then make you stay in a room with someone else. My cousins would have been mad at me if I did that." As he talks I just get more and more excited to meet his parents later. We have had a couple opportunities to cross paths but we've never seemed to be at the same games.
"Well tell them I said thank you." I replied. The rest of the car ride is us singing songs then him pointing things out, then getting distracted and telling me about all the fun plans he has and it gets me excited too.
We made it to the famed Hughes Lake house and Quinn wasn't home. Luke said he was probably getting groceries or doing some other "mom shit". Once we walked in he made me leave my stuff by the door and started on his very Luke Hughes tour of the place.
"The liquor usually kept over her- Oh! Be careful when you come down here to eat or cook first thing in the morning. One time Z had sex with a girl on the counter top." And then he moved on like I wasn't scarred for life by his comment. "This is the downstairs bathroom. Try not to poop in here 'cause one time Quinn took a dump and then it got all clogged up." And then it's onto the basement. "So here we have our pool table and the leaderboard. Currently I sit on the top of it because I'm just too good." There is some numbers written to the side and i am about to question it when I realize this is the stomping ground of three ultra competitive people and their just as competitive friends.
We started making our way to the front stair to go up to the second floor when I'm pulled into an unexpected hug. First I let out a shriek and then I hear the two Hughes' dying of laughter and look over to see another guy I don't know looking just as petrified as me.
"She's more scared of you than the other team's players are Quinny." Luke somehow manages to get out in the midst of his laughing fit.
"Haha. You're so funny Luke. Maybe you should quit hockey and become a standup comedian." He tells Luke then looks over at me and asks "Do you wanna try the whole hug thing again." To which I respond by throwing my body back at him.
"Nice to see you Quinner." I tell him.
"You too Charly." He then looks over to his friend and realizes that we haven't been introduced. "Josh, this is Charly, the only person who seems to keep Luke's ego in check-" I hear Luke let out a whine in the background but he just ignores it in true older sibling fashion. "-and Charly, this is Josh, one of my best friends." He gives me a wave and a smile and I give one back to him.
"Nice to meet you. Sorry you've had to deal with these two for so long." He tells me.
"You've known them both longer so I feel for you." I reply back.
With the two new additions Luke continues our tour with a lot more interruptions by Quinn either stating this is not how it went down or telling embarrassing things about Luke and that's when I knew I was in for a crazy summer.
Luke led me up to my room and told me that I would get my own bathroom, perks of being the only girl and arriving before his brother and his friends. I put away my luggage then joined Luke back downstairs. He was on the couch watching whatever 5 O'clock show was on TV. He quickly noticed that I had come back downstairs and was quick to get up and start giving me options of what we could do.
"So we could go out on the boat if you want and invite Quinny and Norris." I was about to reply but he kept going "But if that sounds like too much because you're tired we could just go sit on the dock. Or we could go to the club for dinner, get all dressed up and stuff. Or we could go down stairs and play pool but if you're too scared to lose we could also just watch a movie in here."
I decided to just skip by his chirp about my pool playing abilities-- god I just said chirp i have been hanging out with Luke too much-- "Watch Mama Mia you told me that you don't even remember watching it and we can get Quinn and Norris in here too?" I ask him
"Can I pick next time then?" He says rather than answering my question.
"As long as you watch Mama Mia with no push back I don't see why not." And that is how we ended up on the couch with popcorn and me singing and dancing along to one of the greatest movies of all time. Quinn and Norris joined us right before Our Last Summer started and they stuck with us through to the end.
By the time the movie ended it was 8:00pm and we still hadn't eaten so we all went into the kitchen to split the leftovers they had for the past week. I ended up with some leftover fettuccine alfredo and it was pretty good. I got first pick as the newest guest and I definitely can't complain. I have been warned as the house gets fuller that it's gonna get crazier and become utter chaos. But I've decided to cross that bridge when I get there and just enjoy the calm and serenity and the time with my friend before there's too much going on.
After we ate I went upstairs and got ready for bed. I took a shower and the water pressure was to die for. I put on my PJs, brushed my teeth, then headed back to my bed after grabbing the fuzzy blanket I packed to sleep with. I'll admit I'm a bit of a phone addict and spent a little to long mindlessly scrolling through Instagram reels and texting Anika about whatever random thing I saw on my reels, currently it was how Bianco Vorrot graduated from school with not just a bachelors but also a masters too. She was a Bitch in High School, friends with the right people, good at soccer, pretty, extremely smart but didn't understand what it meant to be nice.
After we both realized that it was getting late and she had to be up early tomorrow for the internship she was doing we said goodbye and 30 minutes later I fell asleep.
