Here I sat on my bedroom floor trying to figure out chords on my guitar I had gotten a few weeks ago.
Since then me and Taylor have gone on another date. It was really nice he took me to a local band's show. It was really good they were lots of fun to watch and pretty amazing musicians too.
Today I had nothing planned and it was Thanksgiving. I wish I had family to spend it with, but it was fine as I was use to not having anyone. I was probably just going to fiddle around my apartment or get take out. I continue to just mess around with chords until I'm bored. I put my brightly colored guitar back in its case and go to my kitchen when a knock hits my door. I spring over to it and slowly creak it open.
"Hey I know your probably busy but I have exciting news" Taylor begins as soon as he sees me. "My boot and crutches are officially gone" he exclaims lifting up his foot.
"That so great and don't worry I wasn't busy" I tell him as I lean against the door. He nods as the smile that he wore slowly slips into a frown.
"It's Thanksgiving and you have no one to celebrate with do you?" He asks looking at me. "Yeah I do I have got Booth and Bones" I joke trying to make him not feel bad about it. "Those are tv show characters" he says shaking his head. "Exactly I'm going to eat a Tv Dinner and ice cream while enjoying my favorite show" I explain giving him a grin.
"Tv dinner wow that's such a divine food" he laughs giving my shoulder a light shove. I laugh too and fix my messy hair.
"Well since you have no one to spend it with would you care to spend it with me?" He asks a blush rising to his face. "I would really like that" I smile. "Alright cool well then may I come in?" He grins. I nod and allow him to walk in. He looks around at my place and notices that I had put up some new things.
"Nice Christmas decorations?" He says puzzled.
"Thanks, it's never to early in my opinion" I shrug. He just shakes his head and smiles a little. "So it about 2pm which means we have a couple hours before we eat our very expensive meal of TV dinners,why don't we do something" I say looking at him. "Ok sure but what?" He asks. "Hmm how about we play uno" I suggest. "Yeah sure that's sounds fun" he smiles.
I walk over to my coffee table and grab the stack from a bin that was set on it. We each take a seat on my carpet and I shuffle the cards before handing them out and starting the game.
"Skip, Skip, Skip, reverse back to me, reverse Draw four and I'm out bitch!" I exclaim pumping my fist. "Fuck this game" he fake pouts tossing his cards in the middle. "Hey, it's only fair that I won after you made me draw like 15 cards that one time" I say laughing a little. "Yeah I guess" he smiles. I smile back and then help him pick up the cards. I slide them back in the box and toss the pack onto my table.
"I haven't played that game in forever" he tells me getting up and picking out a cd from my tall shelf.
"It's been a while for me too, me and Polly the previous own of the diner I work at used to play it with my other coworkers on slow days" I explain thinking back. "That's so cool...Wait so if Polly doesn't own it anymore why is it still called that" he queries giving me a weird look. "Well John our now owner liked the name and was good friends with her so he kept it, plus he couldn't come up with any other names" I explain walking over to him. He slings his arm over my shoulder and pulls me in close. "I'm glad he didn't change the name" he says quietly. "Me too" I giggle sliding our hands together as he puts in one of my favorite cds, Feel something by movements.
"So are you ready for a TV dinner ?" I ask giving him a mischievous smile. "Yeah I'm little hungry and those things take like forever to make so by the time they are done I will be starving" he replies letting out a sigh. "Alright I'll go put one of them in then" I tell him.
I walk away from him and let go of his hand heading to get the food. I take two of them out of my small freezer and pop one of them in. While that ones in there I just bounce around the kitchen singing while he watches. "Are you just going to stand there and stare?" I ask teasingly. "Maybe" he jokes raising his eyebrows. "Ok then stalker" I say giving him a smirk. He just smiles back at me.
Once both TV dinners are cooked we take a seat at the table and eat in quiet. He would mumble something to himself or ask me something now and then but we weren't having a full fledge conversation.
I finish my dinner before him so I get up and throw away the tin that it was in before sitting back down where I had been moments ago. "You know any good thanksgiving movies?" My friend suddenly asks as he finishes his last bit of his food. "Uh there's the Charlie Brown Special that's thanksgiving themed I think" I reply giving him a little bit of a weirded out look. "Oh yeah I forgot about that, we will have to watch it" he exclaims. He gets up and throws away his tin like I had minutes before. He then turns off my CD player and motions me over to him.
"What?" I query confused. He just gives me a look and then proceeds to ask "can we watch the show right now?" I put my hand to my head as I giggle. "Sure but can I do something first?" I question. "Yeah go ahead" he replies letting out a small laugh. I pull his face so it's close to mine and lightly kiss him. He accepts it and doesn't pull away. When he finally does I look at him and his face is tinted pink. I giggle one again and the pull him over to the couch where we were going to watch the movie.
"Are you ready?" I ask as he puts his arm on the back of my couch.
"Definitely" he smiles...
