I leave the theater in tears (of joy, of course.... it's Frozen!), but Sonja and Maddy stay behind to "catch up on their sisterhood", so tucker stuck around with them, leaving me and Jordan. Alone. Why couldn't tucker ditch his girlfriend? I have to last a car ride with him. Let me remind you, I beat his girlfriend no less than 3 hours ago.
So I don't think this car ride was the best decision in my life, but oh well.
"That was excellent tasting popcorn" I say, shifting uncomfortably in my seat.
"It definitely was. The best popcorn ever"
"The buttery goodness"
"The crunch"
"Jordan, what the hell are we doing?"
"To be completely honest, I have no freakin clue. I don't even know what I said"
"I recall you saying 'the crunch'"
"You called it the buttery goodness!"
"Well I like butter! Is that a crime against humanity?"
"Indeed it is. That's why I'm driving you to the park"
"May I ask why?"
"So you can become one with humanity and nature and become a tree"
I laugh, sitting normally again. "A tree? I get the privilege of becoming *gasp* A TREE?!"
"Yep. We will name you Bob. And then cut you down for lumber"
I punch him in the arm. "I deserve way more than lumber man. Maybe a back scratcher or something"
We pull in, but just before we leave, he turns towards me and says "I can use you to itch my sparkly bum"
"EWW JARDON"
____________________________________________
We sit down on a bench right beside the large water fountain, watching the water go up and down. "So," says Jordan, "how'd you like the movie?"
"It was good"
"That's good. How was the popcorn?"
"To be completely honest, I could've eaten better"
"Same here. Um, do you mind if I change the subject? I meant to ask you something"
"Go ahead"
"So, Erin, I was going to ask-"
We are interrupted by screaming. At first I thought I was going insane, until a girl ran towards us with a notebook and a pen, shaking. "Hi my name is Maggie and I'm 12 and you don't understand how much I love you and I also ship you two"
She takes a deep breath when she's finished, like she accomplished something, and hands us the notebook. We both sign, but I'm still extremely confused.
"What's shipping?" I ask. I guess Jordan already knew, because he said "Oh god don't ask-", but that didn't stop her.
"Shipping is when you want two people to date because they're such a cute couple. In your case, you aren't a cute couple YET, but you should become one. Wait, you aren't dating are you?"
I sit there, unable to speak, but Jordan does it for me. "No, we aren't dating"
"Well, it'll happen soon. And, I meant to say sorry. I don't think I really greeted you the best way"
"It's fine. We love fans. How about we send you some t-shirts?"
"WOULD YOU? That would be amazing!"
"Sure!"
"Well, my mom's calling me, I should get going. You two are the bomb!"
As soon as she leaves, I burst into giggles. "I NEED TO THANK HER. SHE CALLED ME THE BOMB" I yell.
So I jump onto Jordan's back, and we sprint after her
____________________________________________
When we finally get back into the car, (after repeatedly thanking Maggie), I remember he wanted to ask me a question.
"So, Jordan, what was your question?"
"Well.. it's not important right now. It can wait"
I let it slide, but if I would've known the question, I probably would've kept asking.
WOOP WOOP. ROMANCE HUNNY. ROMANCE.
So, this chapter is dedicated to:
reedingIsCool
Congrats!
Oh, by the way Maggie, I apologize if I got you entirely wrong in every way possible :p I'm not the best at this. I'll get used to it after doing it a couple more times. (I think we should make it a monthly thing)
HAVE A SUPER FANTASTIC DAY!
