Patience is a Virtue(Under MAJOR editing)

chapter 21

“What happened to your forehead?” he asks softly once the movie ended.

“So you ask now about it?” I sigh at him.

“You didn’t want to pause the movie again.” He jokes. I give a small grateful smile.

“I fell doing a challenge with bell.”

“Ah that Christmas challenge.” He says and smiles at me. I give him a confused and weird look.

“You know about the challenge?” he gives me a fake horror look and laughs at my expression.

“Of course I do. I helped you cheat last year.”

“You did? I ask amazed. He nods smiling to himself in a memory.

**Flashback**

“Come on hurry!” I scream at him and he practically runs while pushing me. I try helping once but then I got wheel/ road rash from  my wheels on the wheelchair. He chuckles behind me.

“I’m going as fast as I can sweetheart.”

“Stop flattering me and lets move.” I command. He rolls his eyes but keeps on pushing me.

“What else do we need?” he asks. I look at the list.

“Actually were done.” I start to get excited and spin around really quick and run off on my own. He catches up quickly.

“Hey, hey slow down. No need for the Achilles heel here.”

“Well I am in a wheelchair so it doesn’t matter.” I joke to him. He laughs and pushes me the rest of the way. I shut up and enjoy the moment. I was so happy he agreed to come with me. I didn’t really think he cared about me. I guess I mean more to him.

“Ma’am is this all?” the clerk asks as she is bagging up everything. I look all over and nod.

“Yes it is.”

“Aright then.”

She tells me the amount of money I needed to give her then we rush out quickly. “I think Bell isn’t ready yet. I think we can beat her!” he gives me an uncertain look.

“I don’t know…”

“We can at least hope.” I scan the parking lot and find her picking up a bunch of stuff angrily.

“Oh my god she dropped stuff! Wheel! Run! What ever were doing!” he laughs me and speeds up.  She sees us and panics and shoves everything in. even some slush. And then starts running towards the car.

“No FAIR!”

“All is fair in love and war!” she screams and speeds ahead.

We reach the car about at the same time but she reached it first because josh slowed down. “Dam you’re a fun ruiner.” I grumble and Bell does a victory dance that was quite embarrassing. Then a cute cart guy walks by. She stops midance and smiles at him.

“Hey.” He gives her a smile back. I roll my eyes.

“hey.” She looks at me and smiles. I give her a nudge in his direction and sigh as she flirts with him. Josh rolls his eyes.

“Girls.” He mutters.

“Boys.” I mock mutter back. He looks at me.

“What is that suppose to mean?” I widen my eyes.

“What?”

“Why did you mutter boys?” he asks.

I put the stuff in the car and turn to the side and look at him. “I was just mocking you.”
