Wilbur and I were shopping, prepping for dinner. Since we moved out of Goop House, it's always been just us, and I liked it that way.
"Will." I clicked at him.
"Mari." He clicked back.
"Fuck you man. Can you grab me some bread? Aisle four."
"Uh... Okay."
Wilbur left and I was still searching around for the right sauce.
10 minutes of looking later, I finally found it. On the top shelf. Which I couldn't reach.
I looked around for anyone who could help me.
"Um excuse me, do you think you could help me with something?" I mumbled
"Oh sure! What do you need?" He had hazel eyes and brown fluffy hair. His hair bounced as he tilted his head.
Instead of responding, I just hung my head and pointed at the sauce I needed.
"There you are miss." He smiled
"Oh! Thank you. My name is Marina by the way."
"Benji! Pleasure to meet you!"
"Do you think I could have your number? J-just incase you ever want to-"
"mmmmAAAARINAAAA!" Wilbur cried from across the store.
"I think someone needs you." Benji chuckled.
"Haha, yeah. I should probably go then." I smiled, disappointed I didn't get his number. He's really cute.
"Here's my number, just incase you ever wanted to talk." He smiled, "I guess I'll see you around hey?"
"Well uh... I'm moving tomorrow. To a different country."
"Wait really? Where to?"
"Back to Australia, I was born there but uh Wilbur wasn't haha."
"Wilbur?" He sounded hurt.
"My best friend!"
"Oh right! Well I'm going back to Australia aswell!"
I didn't realize how much I was smiling until my cheeks started to ache.
I think I'm in love.
"Well, I'll see you around Australia! Hopefully." He smiled.
"Yeah! Bye Benji!"
"Bye Mari!"
Mari? No one but Wilbur has ever called me that before...
Wilbur came trudging up behind me with four different loafs of bread in his hands. I just wanted white bread.
I just sighed and thanked him, he placed all the bread in the trolley.
My phone buzzed
Unknown Number
hey!
Me
who is this?
its benji!
I just got butterflies.
ohmygod hi! im so sorry
i didnt recognize the number!
dont worry!
You changed Unknown Number to benji!
I look up to see Wilbur staring at me, clearly upset.
I put my phone away and desperately try to ignore all the buzzes, we quietly proceed to checkout, making small talk with the cashier.
I pay for the groceries and proceed to the car, I of course am driving.
"Oh, Xender snapped me." I pull my phone up to my face and open the snap.
'tommy and rad are gone????'
I snap back: 'dont ask me i aint even in the country'
I sigh and put my phone away, "I don't know if I'm ready to move back."
"How come?" Wilbur questioned.
"I don't know. I haven't seen the others in months..."
"Years actually. It's been two years."
"Two years?!"
"We're going back Jayden."
