I haven't seen Jack in a while since it's been a busy week but we've been texting, a lot I would say.
He called me last night after a game they had which they won. He's not in Jersey right now but at least I get to talk to him whenever.
The Devils are up in Canada now from playing back to back games. Jack FaceTimes me after a game where they won 6-5 against the Edmonton Oilers.
"Have you ever had moose tracks ice cream?" he questions as I write footnotes on my script.
I give him a weird look through my phone screen "Moose tracks? Is that an ice cream flavor?" I ask.
"Yes it is Rory" he looks at me in shock as he leans against the headboard of his bed. "I can't believe you never heard of it" he jokingly frowns.
"I swear I've never. What's in it?"
"It's vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups- literally Reece's and fudge. It's so good" he explains.
I don't like peanut butter or any thing that has to do with peanuts in my ice cream. He has yet to know that.
"Yeah no"
He looks at me with wide eyes and his mouth open as I laugh at him "I don't like Reece's in my ice cream or anything peanut butter in it" I laugh.
"I refuse to believe this" he says in disbelief which I find incredibly funny. "Okay you have to try it I will literally buy a tub of moose tracks for you"
"I promise you that you'll end up finishing it" I joke.
He sighs through the screen "Rory, you are something else" he smiles to himself.
"I know" I happily smile. "Thanks Jack"
"Have you ever had Jollibee?" I question him this time.
He shakes his head and answers no.
"Damn and you're coming after me for moose tracks? You've been living in Jersey for like what? A while? And you've never had Jollibee okay Hughes" I tease leaning back against my chair.
"Got me there babe" he smirks.
Babe?
I brush it off "There's like three locations in the state Jack and you've never had any so rude" I joke.
"Okay when I come back you're trying moose tracks and I'll try Jollibee but you have to take me there" he compromises.
"Alright bet" I smile.
We continue to talk while I finish the last bit of my footnotes and annotations before I land on my bed.
"What time is it there again?" I question as I hug one of my pillows and lay on my side.
"It's 10:40pm" he answers.
Shit and it's 12:40am over here.
"It's getting pretty late for you and don't you have class in the morning?" he worries.
"I do but it's fine"
"Lights out in 20!" someone says in the background on Jack's side.
"Got it! Night man!" he replies.
"Oh wait can they hear me?" I question.
"No you're good" he pulls his hood down to show his AirPods.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I like talking to you at night" he smiles.
It's been almost a week since I last saw him, that's how long we've been talking for now and I think we've established where we are as friends wanting to get to know each other more.
