*****T.P.O.V*****
After awhile of singing and laughing, we arrive at the Walmart to pick up some food. We walk through the automatic doors and of course Josh, being the dork he is, acted like he was using the force to open them. Jenna grabbed a cart and we were on our way.
"So Jenna, what are you making us for supper?" Josh asked looking at all of the vegetables she was putting in the cart.
"I can't tell you, it's a surprise." She teased as she put some tomatoes in the cart.
"Nooo. I want to know." Josh wined.
"Sorry buddy." She smirked.
We made our way through a few more isles until we found ourselves with all of the cookies and snacks.
"What kind of cookies do you all like?" Josh asked as he admired all of the choices.
"Ummm. I like Oreos." Jenna stated.
"Ooo me too." Josh looked over at me, "what about you, Ty?"
"Oreos sound good." I had no intention on eating them, but I think that I like them, or use to anyway.
Josh picked up a package then we went to the drinks, we picked up some Coke Zeros and Dr. Peppers along with two packs of Red Bull. The. We headed towards check out.
"Alright, Josh if you want to pay for the drinks or the cookies, I can buy all my ingredients for supper." Jenna suggested.
"Nope, sorry ma'am, I'm paying for all of it." Josh stated.
"Josh, this is a lot of food, let us help pay." I chimed in.
"Nope nope nope." He closed his eyes and shook his head.
Jenna and I sighed in defeat.
We made it through check out and back to the car quickly. We hopped in and started towards Josh's apartment. When we arrived we all went to the trunk to help carry the bags in.
"I can get the veggies and the meat if you all can get the drinks and Oreos." Josh stated as he picked up bags and started towards the stairs.
"Okay, Ty, you get the Oreos and I'll get the drinks."
"No, Jen, you carry the Oreos, let me carry the heavier stuff." I reached to grab the Coke Zeros out of her hands but she quickly pulled away.
"Nope, you still need to take it easy," she glanced at Josh to make sure he was out of ear range, "I've noticed that you are still limping so don't pretend to be fine."
"Ugh, okay." I sigh and pick up the Oreos. I haven't even noticed that I had been limping but now that Jenna pointed it out, I realize that my left ankle is still hurting a bit and that I am noticeably limping.
Once we get up stairs Josh is on his way back out the door, "We already got everything, Josh." Jenna turned towards him as he slides out the door.
"I'm going down to get your alls bags."
"I can get them." I say to him.
"Nope. I'm not letting limpy and the lady get their own bags, besides, you all are guest, so make yourselves at home." He smirked and ran it the door.
"Okay, seriously, why didn't anyone tell me that I was limping that bad?"
Jenna just giggled in response to my question. Gosh her laugh was cute. She was so perfect, maybe one day I'll make her mine. I feel like we've known each other for so long, yet it's only been a day.
I'm taken away from my thoughts when I hear Josh shut the door rather loudly behind him.
"Okay, bags are on the couch."
"Thanks man." I smile at him when he walks into the kitchen area.
"No problem."
"So Jen, what are you cooking?"
"Sorry, Josh. Still can't tell." She smirked as she started pulling out the veggies.
"Where is a chopping board and the knives?"
"Um... chopping board should be here" he bent down and dug through a cabinet until he found one. "And knives should be...." he started digging through a draw. "Crap." I heard Josh whisper.
"Give me a second." He ran out of the kitchen and towards the back of the apartment. Jenna and I looked at each other in confusion then shrugged. We turned towards the door when we heard Josh coming back in.
"Here you go." He was wiping the knife off on his shirt then handed it to Jenna.
"Thanks?" She said more like a question.
"Why wasn't it in here?" I asked Josh curiously as he sat beside me.
"I-I hadn't unpacked it yet." He stared at his hands.
"Okay." I accepted his answer even though I was still skeptical of the whole thing. After several minutes of silence other then the chopping sound from Jenna cutting up vegetables, Josh decided to speak up,
"So, what do you guys want to do after supper?"
"Uhhh I don't know. Do you have any board games?"
"Ummm, I'll have to check. I might have Monopoly?"
"That game takes forever though, doesn't it?" Jenna asked as she put the vegetables into a pan on the stove.
"Yeah." I replied.
"I don't think I have anything else."
"Okay, well, we could always just talk since we don't know each other that well." I suggested.
"Yeah, I don't like having complete strangers in my house." Josh laughed a little.
"That sounds good." Jenna turned towards us.
"I hope you don't mind me raiding your kitchen for supplies, Josh." She started going through his cabinet looking for pans and cooking utensils.
"Nah, I don't mind."
We chatted for awhile more then moved to the living room when dinner was ready.
"So, what's for supper Jen?" I asked looking up at her.
"Well, tonight we are having chicken, breaded in my grandmas homemade chicken batter, mashed potatoes, and salad." She smiled as she sat down the plates.
"Wow, it looks delicious." Josh smiled at her.
"Well thanks."
"I'll go grab drinks. What does everyone want?" I ask as I stand up.
"Dr. Pepper please." Jenna looked up and smiled at me.
"And for you, Josh?"
"I'll have a Dr.Pepper as well."
"Coming right up." I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the drinks. I grabbed myself a Coke Zero because that would be less calories to have to burn off later. I stepped back into the living room and walked over to the couch, setting the drinks on the table and myself on the floor next to Jenna.
"Who wants to bless the food?" Josh asked looking at us.
"I will." Jenna raised her hand.
"Alright." Josh smiled.
We all bowed our heads as Jenna prayed. It's nice having friends with the same beliefs as you.
"Amen." Jenna looked up.
"Amen." Josh and I repeated at a volume that you could just barely hear.
About five minutes into them eating and me playing with my food Josh looks up at me,
"Tyler, please eat something."
"I'm not hungry." I sigh.
"Tyler.... it won't kill you to at least take a bite."
"What if I choke and die on the food? Then it would kill me."
"Please Tyler." He made eye contact with me.
"Tyler, it would mean the world to me if you would at least try it." Jenna pleaded for me to eat.
"Fine." I sigh in defeat and take a few bites of the salad and a bit or two of the chicken.
"Thank you." Jenna smiled.
"No, thank you. It's delicious." I sadly smile at her.
She looks down and blushed, "Thanks."
By the time we finish our little conversation everyone is done.
"Are you finished?" I asked Jenna as she looks up at me.
"Yep, thank you." She smiles as I pull away her plate and stack it on mine.
"What about you?" I look at Josh.
"I'm done but I can get mine, thanks though." He smiled.
We walk into the the kitchen area and place the plates in the sink.
" So Ty... do you like her?" He smirked at me.
"N-no." I stumbled on my words and blushed.
"Dude!" He yell whispered, " You totally like her!"
"Okay.. maybe just a little bit." I smiled.
"This is great, my two best friends in love." He put his arm around me and sighed.
I just shook my head and laughed at his remark.
"She doesn't like me."
"She totally does, I'll prove it to you by the end of the night." He did an evil smirk.
"Are you two love birds coming back or are you going to spend the rest of the night making out in the kitchen?" Jenna teased.
"Whatever, your just jealous that you aren't making out with him!" Josh said back as we walked into the living room. Jenna quickly looked down and blushed.
"Told ya." Josh whispered into my ear.
