The Unexpected

56

"Lemme try again" Leah says and pulls out more cash from her purse. Then she attempts again.

"Agh!" Leah screams and looks down at Veronica. Veronica starts jumping and I started cheering because she actually won this time.

"That one!!" Veronica points out to the prize.

"Here you go young lady" the worker says. "What do you say?" I tell Veronica. "Thank you mister fluffy game worker" Veronica says. I laughed and shook my head. Then I went to Leah and gave her a side hug and laid my head on her shoulder.

"Thank youuuu" I tell her. "No problemo" she says. Then I let go and Veronica gives her a hug.

"What should I name it?" Veronica asks us both. "I don't know mama. What name do you want?"

"How about fluffers?" Leah jokes and we both giggled. "Yeah!" Veronica says. "Oh okay then haha" Leah says.

So Veronica carries that big thing all the way to the car and she had it sit by her on our way home.

During the quiet melow ride, I looked back to check on her and sure enough she was laying her head on the toy as she's asleep.

"How much did you spend on us today?" I ask Leah. But Leah doesn't respond. I looked at her as she drove but was focused on the road. "Hmm?" I mumbled. "Nothing you should worry about" she says. "I just wanna know"

"Then you'll feel bad and find a way to repay me. She's someone I owe my life to Jen. Don't worry about how much I spend." She says.

"Okay...but on me. You spend money on me too"

"Well I care about you" she says. I giggle and looked forward on the road.

"Best friends got each other on buying things. If needed, they'll repay. Or even like say I pay for you now then the next time you got me. But since we're more than best friends because of the things we do.. it's nothing you should even worry about" Leah says. As I listened I just felt this little spark in me. I know she cares. I've hoped and hoped we'd get somewhere else in this thing we have since we've been on and off about each other. But now that we practically have a kid together I feel like this will work out better. And I want it to. I've been wanting an actual girlfriend and she almost made it there. She did but we didn't make any other steps after we became official. I wanna be able to say she's my girlfriend, to go on vacations with, to go on adventures and just be in each other's lives normally.

Leahs POV

Me and Jen waited til Veronica fell asleep. She did in Jens bed laying between us two while watching cartoons. Then Jen carried her to her room so she could sleep in her bed instead of Jen's bed. Once Jen came back, she closed the door a little and walked in a few steps. Then she stopped.

"Did you want water or anything? I'm about to go get some right now."

"Yeah sure. Please!" I tell her as I sit comfortably in her bed. "I'll be back" she says. She walks out and I just looked around her room. Beautifully organized and spacey. I love it. This is the type of room I'd love getting ready in for work or going out. Or even just relaxing like right now. Her head board is like a cushion so I could lay my head back anytime. The ac temperature feels just right too. Then she has a mirror right next to her bed which I remember looking at it every time me and her have sex. We honestly make it look good.

She walks back in. But the second she does I had a random thought and immediately my face changes to a confused look.

"Question"

"Yeah?" She asks and hands me my water. "Uh..you know how you and Richard.."

"Yeah?.."

"Was it on this bed?" I shyly ask. "I- uh-"
