----------------------- Interested Parties - Mike ----------------------- Jamie glanced at the clock. "Oh s**t, its three! I need to change!" It was, in fact, my 24th birthday. I'd invited my close friends and Jamie had done the same. Well, honestly, her friends had subtly also become my friends. I didn't really mind though. I think she was looking forward to the party more than I was. It was an excuse to get together and talk about nerdy s**t, which she was always up for and I found extremely endearing. We had persuaded mom and dad to take a weekend getaway, telling them that we'd like to have a party and we weren't sure how late it might go. Our parties were pretty laid back and the worst we got up to was smoking weed. As long as we stayed out of mom's stash, they were fine with us
