Little Things

054

Ikea took a really long time and now they're just delivering everything to the address I wrote. I called Kai to tell them that there will be stuff for my bedroom arriving and to just leave it in the living room so Nick and I could decorate it soon.

Right now, Nick was all dressed up and ready to go on the date I promised him. I would say he was bored the entire time, but we saw a 7/11 nearby and I bought him chips and soda to keep him distracted while putting on HxH. He didn't even notice I was gone until I came back 2 hours later with some small decorative things in a bag, wrapped around my arm.

"I'm back" I announce, watching him just state at the phone with pure focus. His hand was dipped into the Cheetos bag and he stared like a child seeing a Tv for the first time. "Nick"

"Oh hey Daphne" He paused his anime with cheesy ass fingers and turned to me. "Were you just standing there the whole time?"

"I was shopping for furniture while you were gone. Thank god the anime worked." I rolled my eyes. "Clean yourself up and help me carry these to the car. You can continue watching later."

"You went shopping without me?"

"Look I love you, but your style fucking sucks. Your bed and other things in your room don't match at all. Both bedside tables of yours are completely different. Don't get me started on your lamp with boobs"

"That's a gift from Luke when we were in college and partly living together in a dorm."

"Nick, your lamp has fucking boobies. I got a neon lights and stuff for my bedroom. Theres this saturn shaped pink neon light and I got it as well as some fake leaves to put around my room. Ooh and I also got that princess type of bed where it has like tall thingies in the corner so you can put some white clear shit on top." I was beyond excited to decorate my room. It would probably end up messy again in like 2 weeks, but living with Kai would force me to clean it.

"I'll help you set everything up later" Nick grabbed some of the shopping bags around my hand to lessen the weight on me. "Shit, can you grab my phone? I'll carry these to the car"

He ended up taking all of the shopping bags from me, thankfully, and waited for me as I grab my phone. I accidentally swipe down to show his notification panel and the first notif I see was fron someone named "my hoe" asking where they wanted to go on a date.

"Who the fuck is my hoe and why are they asking to go on a date?" I sounded very passive aggressive but I was getting frustrated. Was he texting other girls when we weren't official? Or maybe he was still texting Kaycee. Or Kaylee, I don't give a shit about her.

"Baby, that's you. You were asking where I wanted to go out later but I probably forgot to reply because I was focused on my show"

"What the hell. Your name on my phone is literally just Nick with a panda emoji. I'm changing it to my bitch later" I rolled my eyes and marched my way out of 7/11 with him. "Can't believe anyone that checks your phone now thinks I'm a hoe"

"You're my hoe. My heaven on earth, you know?" I turned as the words spilled his mouth and I could see his failed attempts to keep his straight face. "Hey, you better laugh right now because I made that on the spot"

"Shut the fuck up" I stifle a laughter. I didn't want to boost his ego by letting him know his joke was funny.

We drove off to the place Nick wanted to go on a date at. I thought he wanted to go to some place like Mcdonald's or Burger King but no, he drove to the place we had our very first argument at.

The restaurant where I told him I didn't want to be with him because I wasn't ready. The restaurant where Dylan had to check up on both of us because the food had arrived and both me and Nick were seated in the car with uncomfortable silence taking over the moment.
