GRILLED CHEESE

"i'm in love with you, and all these little things."

october 17th, 2022
📍BUFFALO, NY

the bills beat the chiefs 24-20 yesterday, and since i didn't report it, i watched it with my parents and their house.

josh threw for 329 yards, completed 27 of his 40 passes, and 3 touchdowns. one to stefon, one to gabe, and one to dawson. stefon had 10 receptions for 148 yards.

although i wanted to go to the game, games at arrowhead, or should i say burrowhead, are not particularly my favorite.

it's super loud and my ears ring for the next 3 days after i leave that stadium.

the team was supposed to come back to buffalo yesterday, but the flight got pushed back today. i'm going to surprise josh and stefon by picking them up from the facility.

i drove over to the facility at 10, and waited for the busses to arrive. i didn't think this through to well considering they both drove here themselves and they can't just leave their cars here.

i saw the busses arrive and backed out of my plan, i didn't want to seem stupid. i drove out of the parking lot and back to my mom's place.

when the busses arrived back at the facility, i noticed eleanor's car driving out of the facility. i had no clue why she was here.

i got off the bus and got back into my car. i followed stefon to his mom's house. we had planned that the day we got back, we would spend the day with her.

mrs. diggs has been asking me to come around a lot more recently, and i don't know why. i'm not complaining, because i love mrs. diggs, she's like a second mom.

dawson, jordan, and damar are also coming over. they'll be over later for dinner like we did a couple of weeks ago.

once stefon and i walked into their house, i was immediately hit with the scent of vanilla candles. that makes more sense now.

"hi, mr. and mrs. diggs." i said politely as i took my shoes off and placed them by the front door.

"josh hunny, can i talk to you for a second?" mrs. diggs asks me.

i nod and i help her into her room, i sit down in the chair in the corner. "i have something to ask you." she says.

"i need you to make sure that this family doesn't fall apart when i'm gone, ok?" she asks, i nod.

"i need you to promise me you'll take care of my sweet eleanor ok?" she asks, i nod once more.

"i have watched you two fall in love with each other and it would be a shame if i couldn't see you two together before i pass." she says.

"with all due respect mrs. diggs, i don't think now is the time to confess these things to her." i say.

"think of it as my dying wish for you, josh." she says.

as my mom is talking to josh, i can't help but wonder what she's talking to him about. i hope it's nothing embarrassing.

"what was that all about?" i ask as josh walks into the kitchen, i'm making a grilled cheese.

"nothing." he replies. i know it was something, but he won't tell me.

"well what did she talk to you about?" i ask flipping the sandwich.

"nothing, eleanor." he replies with a slight laugh. he leaned against the counter, watching me make the grilled cheese.

"i don't think watching me make a grilled cheese is the most interesting way to spend your time." i say.

he just shrugs his shoulders and grabs an apple from the fridge. he finds himself in the same position he was in before.

"can you make me one too?" he asks biting into his apple.

"you are eating an apple right now." i say.

"and i am a hungry man." he replies taking another bite.

"can you make me one too?" stefon asks walking into the kitchen.

"me too." dawson says walking into the kitchen.

"okay, who all wants grilled cheeses?" i ask. josh, stefon, dawson, damar, jordan, and my father all say yes.

it's overly crowded in the kitchen at the moment, so i make a 'lunch line'. "grab a plate, stand in line. i'll put in on your plate then leave the kitchen. got it?" i say.

everyone does as i asked, i make six grilled cheeses and finally make my own before sitting down at the table.

everyone else has already finished there sandwich, but they still sit there with me anyways.

before i can take a bite of my sandwich, i hear heavy coughing coming from my mom's room. i quickly stand up, grab a water and head straight for her room.

"hey mama, you ok?" i ask putting a head on her back. she's stopped coughing now.

"yes, sugar." she says taking the water. "i've been having these bad coughing episodes lately." she states.

i make sure mom is okay before i leave her room. dad walks in and stays with her so i can eat.

when i walk back into the dining room, my grilled cheese is cold, and they don't taste good reheated.

i throw it away and join the guys in the living room. i don't feel like making another grilled cheese right now, and i'm kind of annoyed that i can't eat it.

josh looks over at me and disappears out of the living room, i'm not sure where he went until a couple of minutes later he comes back with a fresh grilled cheese.

he hands me the plate and sits back down. i have to fight from letting a smile creep up on my face. i know it's the littlest thing someone could do, but it made me smile.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

grilled cheese is the loml
