《Friends with the Frat》21~ Engaged
Advertisement
Thanksgiving break was the best week I had in a while. Everyone came back home and we were together again. It felt like last summer all over again.
"Hey Chantel" I greeted as I walked behind the counter. I put my things away and checked in to my shift.
"Hey Cor, how long are you working today?" She asked me.
"Until one" I answered.
I normally started at the counter and cleaned tables when it was necessary. I put a smile on my face and waited for some customers.
"Can you clean off table four and the bar?" She asked and nodded her head to the table.
I nodded and grabbed the cleaning supplies. I walked over to the table and put all the dishes in the bucket. I wiped down the table and booth.
The door rang. I didn't bother looking up to see who walked in.
"Where's my amazing sister that works here and gives me her discount?" Cooper sang from the counter.
I rolled my eyes and walked over to him and the boys. "Chantel, make him pay extra" I winked at her and went to the kitchen. I put the dishes in the dishwasher.
I heard Coop make a commotion from the back. I rolled my eyes and walked back up there.
"What are y'all doing here anyway?" I asked them.
They already ate breakfast. I would know I was the one who helped Mom cook it.
"Came to see you snowflake" Will smiled from behind my idiotic brothers.
I smiled back at him. "I appreciate it when you do babe, but did you have to drag the nitwits here too?" I fake pouted.
"We came to ask a question." He defended. I looked at him to continue. "We're going to the lake and wanted to ask if you wanted to come? After your shift of course."
I smiled at my boyfriend. "Yes I would love to. You're about three hours and forty eight minutes too early."
Chantel laughed. "She's right order or leave you're holding up the line"
Coop looked behind the group, finding no one behind them. "What line?" He smirked.
"Shut up you knew what I meant"
"Do you want to come with us, Chantel?" He asked.
"I guess could try to clear my schedule." She pretended to be uninterested. I knew her more than she thought I did.
Coop smiled at her. "Ok perfect. See you then" he drummed his fingers on the counter and turned to leave with the rest the boys.
"Goodbye Cooper"
"Bye Chantel" he waved as he walked backwards out of the door.
I gave her a knowing look. She blushed and looked away. "Shouldn't you be working" she joked.
"Only if you admit you like Cooper" I smirked.
She threw a rag at me. "Go wipe down some tables" she laughed.
I caught it with a smile on my face. "I knew it" I laughed and went to wipe down some others tables.
They'll be together sooner or later.
After my shift, Will picked me up and we promised to pick Chantel up from her house in ten minutes.
"You look amazing in your swimsuit, snowflake" Will said as I walked out of the bathroom.
I rolled my eyes with a smile. "Thank you" I laughed and threw my old clothes in the laundry hamper.

I was wearing a mauve knot bikini top with slightly cheeky white bottoms. I threw on a pair of denim shorts and threw together my lake bag.
"Aw don't cover up" he pouted and I threw a pillow of his head.
"Shut up Erickson"
"Make me Barnes" he challenged.
I slowly walked over to him. Crawled on the bed to him. It was taking everything in me not to straddle him and kiss his lips off. My lips were inches away from his.
"You wanna challenge me, Erickson?" I asked with a smirk.
"Hell yeah" he smirked.
He knew I was about to kiss him and I wanted to so bad. I couldn't do it knowing that's what he wanted. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't make him suffer a little bit?
I leaned in closer as if I was about to kiss him, but just as he closed his eyes and anticipated contact I grabbed a pillow and smacked him upside the head.
He opened his eyes immediately and grabbed another pillow.
"You're on" he said and began hitting me with the pillow. I hit him with mine violently.
This went on for a few more minutes. I felt his hand on my waist and I let out a little yelp as he pulled me down and straddled me.
I giggled. "You tried to stop me for what I wanted. How could you?" He accused playfully.
"What did you want?" I giggled and bit my lip, knowing it would drive him crazy.
"This" he said before he crashed his lips into mine. I smiled and kissed him back. I placed my hand on his jaw and pulled him closer.
As much as I wanted this to continue, if anyone walked in we were gonna die and we had to leave to pick up Chantel. I pushed will away.
"We have to go pick up Chantel." I told him. "I love you" I pecked his lips and pushed him off of me.
"I love you too" he said and stood up. We both went downstairs.
"Mom, we're heading out to the lake. Where's Dad?"
"Getting ready for our date. Sky's going to my sister's house"
"Okay, I love you, see you later" I waved goodbye.
"Be safe" she called after us.
We got in the car and Will dive to Chantel's house.
We spent three hours at the lake drinking beers and having fun.
"You're parents let y'all drink?" Chantel asked as we pulled out the beers.
She was the only legal one here and barely that. Her birthday was the end of the spring.
"Yeah as long as we're responsible and follow the rule" I answered.
"Rule?" She asked.
"The one rule our dad had when we drink. If you have one sip of anything you don't go behind the wheel." Coop explained.
"So who's driving?" She asked as all three of us had a beer in our hands.
"Will, Lena, and by the looks of it Darren." Con said.
"I don't care for beer" Lena said and sat in Con's lap.
We spent the rest of the three hours talking and joking around before leaving after the sunset.
That was a great day.

Thanksgiving day was a bit crazy. We only got to have Will, Remi, Logan, Mom, and Cole's families over since everyone else had plans with other family. It ended up being about thirty people, some being babies.

Harper's sister, her husband and son came over early to help cook in the morning. Will and Remi's families came over to help as well.
I could already tell I was going to love today. There were eleven different families coming over and I couldn't wait for all the smiles and noise to take over my house.
"Jacob!" A small voice shrilled from the other room. I heard the scamper of feet run into the kitchen. "Mommy Jake pulled my hair!" Sky ran tattled.
"It was an accident!" Jacob defended.
The two moms sighed as they looked at their kids.
"If the two of you can't be nice, then you can sit in the living room and be quiet" Lauren said strictly.
They both looked at her with wide eyes and paling faces.
"No mommy please" Jacob begged.
"Then be nice to Sky."
Mom looked down at Sky. "You little missy, stop being a tattletale"
"Do you want me to take them somewhere really quick? I could get them out of your hair for a little bit" I offered.
"Are you sure, Cora? They're a handful especially together." Lauren asked me.
I waved her off. "Seriously it isn't a problem. I'll take Will with me."
"I'm okay with it if Lauren is. You'd have to switch the car seat for Jake." Mom said.
I nodded and looked at Lauren for confirmation. Mom and Lauren needed a break from the littles for a while.
"Yeah, my keys are in my purse in the living room. You can take my car if you want."
I nodded and went over to the living room. "Come on guys we're going on a little trip!" I said to the littles. They squealed and went to put on their shoes.
"Where are you going?" Will asked and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"You mean 'we.' You're coming with" I smiled and pecked his lips.
"Perfect." He smiled at me.
The kids went out to the car. Will switched Jacob's carseat and we left.
I took them to Riley's because. It's the only place I could think of that was open today.
We walked in and Chantel was manning the counter.
"Chantel? What are you doing here? I thought you weren't on the schedule for today."
"I wasn't I'm covering Simon's shift. He got food poisoning. I'll be back with my family for dinner though" she assured me.
"In that case, I'd like four of your famous root beer floats please" I asked. She laughed. I paid. Will took the kids to sit down.
We stayed there talking to Chantel for a while. Then the devil himself walked through the door.
"Adrien, when are you gonna get the hint? I don't know where my brother is. Get out of my restaurant." Chantel said. She wasn't as scared as last time.
"Whenever you get the hint that I know you're lying sweet cheeks" he smirked at her.
"Shut up and get out. I've had enough of your bull for a lifetime" I snapped at him.
He threw his head back in a laugh. "How did I know you'd be here to save the day?"
I shrugged. "I don't know but I will kick your ass if you don't leave." I threatened.
"Fine I'm going. See you later sweet cheeks." He laughed and left the restaurant.
"You good?" I asked her.
She nodded confidently and hugged me. "I'm fine. My brother is a jackass"
"We gotta go, I'm sorry."
She smiled at me and practically pushed me out of the door. She assured me she'd be fine if he came back.
We headed back home just in time for lunch to be ready. Everyone was outside standing in a circle waiting for us.
It was time for the Barnes' family thanksgiving tradition.
Everyone big and small got to say something they're thankful about. It went around and finally came to me.
"I'm thankful that we all got the chance to be here together and very thankful that Will's back even if it was just for a week." I looked up at him and hugged his arm.
Will said, "I'm thankful that I get to be with my wonderful family and friends."
The next person was Logan. He smiled. "I'm thankful for Cora and her family for inviting me and my family for thanksgiving and my team going into the fourth round of the playoffs"
The boys whooped and I laughed.
Everyone else went leaving Dad last. "I'm thankful for everyone that got the chance to be here and for those who aren't. I'm thankful for my children, biological and not, whom I love dearly and my beautiful fiancé that I will spend the rest of my life loving."
We all gasped and looked at Mom. She had the same shocked look as everyone else did.
"Oh I almost forgot." Dad said as he got down on one knee. My breath hitched as I looked at them. "Harper Louise Ellis, I love you to the stars and back a hundred times. Will you make me the luckiest guy in the universe and marry me?" He pulled out the ring and showed it to her.
She slapped her hand over her mouth. I could see the tears in her eyes from over here.
"Yes!" She let out a strangled cry. "Yes yes a million times yes." She cried and flung her arms around Dad as he stood up.
He crashed his lips to hers and everyone cheered and clapped. I was crying the boys were overly congratulating him.
It was a beautiful sight. They broke apart and slid the ring on her finger.
"She said yes!" He announced and the cheers only got louder. I ran over and hugged the two of them along with the boys. Dad picked up Sky.
"Can I be the flower girl?" She asked Dad.
He laughed. "Of course you can" he kissed her cheek. "Time to eat!" He called and everyone went inside to grab food.
The rest of the day was absolutely perfect. There was screaming, yelling, laughing, smiles, tears, and Bandit stealing Ryan's food.
