Chapter 137
Mom and I were in the kitchen having afternoon coffee when Paige walked in wearing a Halloween costu (the party wouldn't start for a few more hours).
"Check it, I'm a scary black cat," said Paige.
"Dear, the only person that costu scares is . Go change it," said Judith.
I looked at them weirdly. I swear I've seen this scene sowhere else. But hey, who am I to talk about plagiarism?
"Mom is right, Paige. It's a teen party. You're not trying to seduce a Japanese businessman..." I added.
She huffed a little but changed into a more decent outfit.
---
After a while, Carly, Sam, and Freddie arrived.
I looked at them strangely.
"What are you three wearing?"
"I'm a tuna sushi," said Carly, who was wearing a beige dress and so sort of prop on her back.
Paige whispered, "You were talking about Japanese businessn?"
"Yeah, but Carly is just being cute," I retorted.
"I'm Lewbert," replied Freddie.
"Wasn't that your weird doorman?" I asked.
"Yes," said Freddie, making so faces.
"And you, Sam?" I asked again.
"I'm a hand sanitizer," she said, unfazed.
I glared at Paige, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm happy with my costu now," she declared.
But then, Cher and Regina arrived dressed as bunnies.
Now Paige was giving the look.
"They're almost 16, and they're bad influences," I explained.
I made the two of them tone it down a little.
I went to my room and changed my clothes. I was now wearing a vampire costu (Regina's idea). When I ca back to the living room I asked:
"Are we all ready?" I said, looking at them.
Cher and Regina nodded in approval at my outfit, but Regina added, "Let's put so makeup on your face," already grabbing a makeup kit.
"Okay..." I agreed. "But just the white powder. I don't need lipstick."
"We all know why..." murmured Cher, helping Regina apply the makeup.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang and the first guest arrived.
"Hey, if you need anything from , I'll be on the deck," I said, looking at Cher, Regina, and Paige.
Carly, Freddie, and Sam were exploring our haunted house (we rented one from an amusent park, complete with actors. It runs on a small train).
I went inside and greeted Milly. She was wearing a witch costu. We stayed on the deck until the party really started.
---
7 p.m., an hour after the party officially opened, I stopped kissing Milly and said to her, "We should head to the party."
She smiled and nodded.
As we walked through the house toward the party, a few people greeted .
"Hey Jake," said a group made up of four girls and two boys.
"Hello, guys. Welco to the party and have fun!" I greeted back with a smile. They kept walking.
"Who are they?" Milly asked curious
"I have absolutely no idea..." I replied honestly.
She laughed, a little surprised. "But it's your party."
"Yeah, but Cher and Regina handle the guest list. I think even they don't know everyone here," I explained.
I was watching my security team checking the guests. Mostly for dangerous items and drugs. I have a zero-tolerance drug policy. Sa as during my birthday.
We walked into the main party area.
A while later, a kid sohow managed to sneak into the party. He spotted Milly and decided to confess his feelings.
She looked at him weirdly, rejecting him instantly. I stepped closer (I had been talking to Terrance).
Milly gave a kiss and said she needed to go to the bathroom.
What the hell is Manny doing here? I thought, while looking at the kid
Manny looked at and froze.
"It's you again," he said, pointing at .
"How did you even get into my party, kiddo?" I asked, already signaling security.
Before he could answer, a guard showed up.
"Get him out of here. This isn't a kindergarten party."
"I'm not a kid!" Manny shouted, outraged, as the guard grabbed his shoulder and started escorting him out.
Just then, a girl spoke up. "Wait!"
Everyone turned to her.
A girl dressed in a black cat costu stepped forward.
"I'm Haley. Haley Dunphy."
"Jake Harper," I said. "What are you wearing?" admiring her sexy costu a bit
"I'm a scary black cat," she replied, moving closer to .
Huh. Now I rember where I saw the morning scene
"So, you're with him?" I asked.
"Yes. Can he stay?" she asked, running her hand down my arm, clearly trying to seduce .
I grabbed her chin gently and tilted her face up. Yeah, she was kinda cute. And the costu did add to the appeal.
"I got it," I said with a smile.
"You do?" she asked with a smirk, still touching .
"Yeah." I took her hand off and turned to the guard.
"Get her out too."
"What??" she said, stunned and outraged.
"Go babysit that kid until soone cos to pick you two up."
A female guard grabbed Haley by the shoulder and escorted her out.
"Wait, wait! I don't know him!" she protested.
I waved my hand dismissively. The party didn't lack cute girls. Besides, I already had a partner tonight.
Speaking of cute girls, more had just arrived. I went to greet them.
"Cara, Lauren, and Pippa, glad you made it. Make yourselves at ho," I said, my eyes lingering a bit longer on Pippa.
The three of them smiled and greeted back—Pippa with the biggest smile of them all.
Pippa had dyed her normally black hair blonde and added colorful streaks. She wore a bright rainbow-colored sweater, a flowery skirt, long multicolored socks, and several bracelets on each wrist.
I narrowed my eyes and gave a thoughtful look at her. She tilted her head and said, "What?"
"I don't get how it works. You're wearing like... rainbow, but sohow that's incredibly cute," I said honestly.
