Taylor vs Reid (GxG)

Part 19 - {Drew vs Gator}

"Where is this seawater place, anyway?" Reilly asked me as we drove away from my apartment. My overnight bag was in the backseat with everything I would need for the weekend, including an outfit for if we needed to go to court on Monday. Therefore, we would not be coming back to this side of Coral Gables once we're done shopping. There was still no word yet about the verdict, but in case they were ready by Monday, I wanted to be ready too.

"It's Sweetwater," I told her with a laugh. "And it's like 12 miles from us."

"Twelve?" she gasped at me. "Isn't there another IKEA in Miami?"

"Yeah," I confirmed. "But the day bed and bedding set you picked out is only in stock at this location. Unless you want to drive to Fort Lauderdale or Georgia."

She scrunched her face. "Nevermind. How long should it take us to get there?"

"Like 30 minutes if we're not taking the toll."

"And if we take the toll?"

I clicked my tongue in thought. "Twenty, maybe."

"Take the toll," she decided quickly, a look of misery on her face. I laughed but obliged.

We got there in twenty-one minutes and Reilly had fallen asleep. I took a cute picture of her before gently shaking her awake. "We're here."

She groaned sleepily, lifting her head from against the window to look around. "Thank God. That took forever."

With a shake of my head, I undid my seatbelt and hopped out of the car. She followed, coming around to take my hand. I locked the doors as we headed into the store together. We would be getting a few things. The day bed frame, mattresses, pillows and some bedding for it. Everything was already ordered before we left my apartment. Therefore, we would just be picking them up. It didn't take us long at all since somebody had already been gathering and preparing the pick-up. They helped us load everything into the car then we were off again.

"Do you think it would be good to stop at the grocery store too?" She asked me.

"Yeah, since we're already out and about. However, we can wait until we get back into the city."

She nodded. "Cool, I'm going to make a list."

"Or, babe, you can do what we just did here and have them deliver it or we can pick it up?"

"Yeah? I'm going to checkout Target and Walmart then and see what's up."

"Ok."

As I drove, she shopped for our groceries online, periodically asking me what I would like and what I thought kids like. "Okay, baby, can I just run by you what I got?" She asked halfway through our journey.

"Sure, go ahead."

She smiled. "Okay, so we got some fresh fruits and vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, sugar snap peas, spinach, bananas, berries, especially for Molly, and apples etc. Oh, and by the way, everything that I'm reading to you is like to take us through the weekend and then next week too but mostly through the weekend because I don't know how much five--well, four and a half people eat."

I chuckled, "Okay. Shoot."

"Yeah, so fruits and vegetables. I got some loaves of bread. My dad alone will eat like an entire bread throughout the day, so I got a couple. Sourdough, butter bread and honey wheat and I got some bagels and croissants for you." She finished with a smile.

I smiled in appreciation. "Thank you."

She hummed and absentmindedly, her hand was playing with my fingers. The hand she had been holding all the time. I let her because it was just so cute whenever she did stuff like that. "For protein, I think I overshopped."
