Coming Home [UNDER EDITING]

Ch8: Planning my Life With You

"but hey! past is past, so…" Benny paused.

"what do you want to do, Luan?"

"get married"

"that fast?"

"I'm kidding!" Luan said "we could probably talk about some stuff, what happened during those 8 years without seeing each other!"

Benny and Luan talked about alot of things, mostly about them missing each other, they spent every second catching up, and clowning around until the sun goes down "…and I was like, that would be a disaSTAIR" Benny joked and Luan laughed "that's a good one" Luan said "oh no…" Benny said as he looked at the time "why? what's wrong?" Luan asked "my curfew" Benny replied, Luan looked at her clock and frowned.

"do you have to go?" Luan whined "I can still see you in work" Benny said patting her head "no! I'm your boss and I say you stay!" Luan demanded and Benny laughed "okay, I guess 30 more minutes won't hurt" Benny said and Luan happily clapped "I found this theater play, and it's so hilarious you have to watch it with me" Luan said.

Luan grabbed her laptop and typed the title on her search bar, she clicked on a video and cuddles up with Benny "I have arrived!" the male actor said "your personal heater came to heat you up" he added and the two laughed at how cringe it was "imagine if he pulls out a flamethrower and burns the girl" Benny joked and Luan laughed harder.

they finished the play and Luan stands up and stretches "today was fun" Luan said, looking back at Benny who's still sitting "yeah, it was" Benny said as he stood up "see you at work" Benny added "and I'll see you in my dreams" Luan joked, tapping his nose. Benny left Luan's apartment and quietly squealed, knowing that Luan still remembered him, Benny texted Lincoln to tell him the news.

: LINCOLN MY DUDE

: what?

: LUAN REMEMBERS MEE

: whaaaaat?! :OOO

Benny goes home and sighed "you seem happy today, did you had fun?" his dad asked and Benny nodded "yep! I really thought it's going to be short but… oh crap! am I in trouble?" Benny shifted the topic, his dad chuckled "no son, you're an adult now" his dad said "yeah, an adult who lives with his parents" Benny thought.

Monday, Benny still arrived early then smiled when he saw Luan's car "hi Benny!" a blonde greeted, Benny waved to Leni who closed the car door loudly "Leni! be careful on Beatrice!" Luan scolded "oops! sorry Luan!" Leni apologized "get in loser, we're going shopping… for groceries" Luan called and Benny got confused, if Luan and him are going to go out for groceries, then why on Earth did they spent yesterday talking and joking?

"Leni, take care of the resturant" Luan said while Benny opened the door to the passenger seat "you can count on me Boss Lady!" Leni said and Luan drove off, Benny looked at Luan "so… why are we grocery shopping on a work day?" Benny asked "because my personal shopper got sick, so I gave them a week vacation" Luan replied "a week?! um… Luan, I think I'm sick too" Benny joked and Luan laughed "if you're sick then why are you going to work in the first place?" Luan questioned and they laughed.

they went to the grocery store but instead of doing what they're suppose to do, they were goofing around "oh my god, look!" Luan pointed at a pack of granola bars "did you know I lost a tooth by eating one of those?" Luan asked "no way" Benny replied "yeah! I was like 7 years old, I bit into one and a tooth feel out" Luan explained "and now I'm scared of them because they're rich in iron… hahaha! get it?" Luan joked and Benny laughed, understanding the joke.

they walked around and making comments on random objects "look at that leaf blower" Benny pointed "3,999?! what does the air come from?! Jupiter?!" Luan joked and Benny laughed. they went aisle to aisle making jokes on the items.

"wait, hold up, what is that?"

"they're burgers"

"those are burgers? 7 DOLLARS?! do you think they're bad?"

"it's 8, yeah, if it's cheap it's bad"

"as a medical student, do you think I'll get food poisoning?"

"maybe not, it does said that it's vegan"

"vegan? ew, I'm joking! hahaha!"

Luan bought it anyway, along with some frozen ingredients that was near by, Benny gasped dramatically and pointed, Luan turned to where he was pointing "cherry juice!" Benny said, a long silence started "I don't like cherry juice" Benny added and Luan laughed "then why would you say cherry juice?" Luan asked "it's too red, it tastes like red, if you wanna know what red taste like, drink cherry juice" Benny replied "good point" Luan said "it is mostly cherry with water and sugar" Luan said "exactly, that's why it tastes like red" Benny said and Luan laughed.

"does the resturant has a salad menu yet?" Benny asked, Luan thought for a moment and shook her head "hey Luan! what do you call a rooster staring at a head of lettuce?" Benny asked, Luan smiles and shrugged "a chicken-sees-a-salad!" they laughed "that's a good one, I'm veggin' you to say another one" Luan said and they laughed some more.

"that's the one"

"don't kale the vibe, Benny"

"peas don't get angry"

"alright fine, let's just carrot on"

Benny and Luan paid for the groceries and went to the car, Luan noticed that Benny carried most of the bags "let me help" Luan offered and reached for a bag "no no! you're the boss" Benny said, refusing to give Luan a bag "and who knows? maybe I have to get used to this when you're carrying our baby" Benny added, Luan froze and blushed with the idea.

"c-carrying our baby? wait…" Luan shutters to have her mind straight, she realizes then clicked her tongue "Benny, you're too much of a wuss to even make me pregnant" Luan said "I still believe with the plans we made in high school!" Benny whined making Luan chuckle "suuure you do…" Luan mocked while opening her car, Benny places the groceries inside then sat on the passenger seat "what was our plan again? marriage, a house and… 2 kids?" Luan asked "5 kids, Luan" Benny corrected "I want biological kids, not adopted ones" Luan joked, she reversed the car and started driving off.

"hey, have faith in me"

"my mom had faith in our dad, what look happened; 1 boy and 10 girls"

"are you saying we can't have a son?"

"I'm saying that if I had faith on you, we might be having 11 kids"

"you're not a rabbit, Luan. you're more of a squirrel"

"(dramatic gasp) how dare- you're lucky I'm driving"

"and you love me"

"and I love you… but mostly I'm driving"
