True Love | Book 2

Chapter 25

(Jennifer)

I pull into the parking lot and park the car, making sure to lock the doors after I get out. I walk inside the store and walk straight to the back where the drinks are. I pick out a bottle of dr.Pepper for me, a bottle of Mountain Dew for Josh, and a gallon of chocolate milk for both of us. Then I walk through the aisles, grabbing as many snacks as I can. I set them all up on the counter, ignoring the weird looks I get from the guy at the cash register as I hand him my money.

I step inside the house and am greeted by the smell of candles burning. I set the bags down and take my shoes off, freezing when I feel a set of arms on me. "Hey." Josh whispers. "Hey." His arms linger around my waist for a moment before he lets me go. "Do you want some help with these?" He asks, eyeing the bags. "No, it's okay. I've got them." I grab the bags and carry them to the kitchen, setting them down on the table. As soon I set them down Josh starts looking through them. "Why'd you get so much?" He asks, taking the empty bags and moving them to the counter. "I was hungry and it all looked good to me. It's not like we have to eat all of it tonight." I don't know why he's complaining, he's the one who sent me to the store hungry. "I wasn't saying we couldn't eat it all tonight...For starters, I could eat these doughnuts right now." He says, picking up the box of doughnuts and starting to open it. "No!" I grab it out of his hands. "These are mine!" I hold them away from him. "Fine." He picks me up easily, making me set down the box of doughnuts on the counter in the process, and throws me over his shoulder, holding me upside down. "Josh put me down!" I scream. "I'm not putting you down until you agree to share." He says. "Fine I'll share. Now put me down!" He gently sets me on my feet again and I grab the box of doughnuts. "I'm going to go check on Ava and then change. And I'm taking these with me." I say, taking two doughnuts out. As I turn to walk away he smacks my ass. "Josh!" I turn around to look at him, smiling. "What?" He asks innocently, taking a doughnut out of the box. "Nothing." I roll my eyes and walk away. I can hear his laughter as I walk upstairs.

I come downstairs dressed in only a white t-shirt and a pair of Josh's boxers, and see that he's already moved the mattress downstairs. He's covered it in blankets and pillows and laid all our snacks on the floor next to it. The candles he lit are still burning around the living room. They smell like warm cinnamon apples. When I finally look down at Josh I realize he's been staring at me this entire time. "Did you wanna pick the movie?" I ask, sitting down beside him. "Um...yeah." He presses a button and Netflix appears. He finds the horror movies and selects Friday the thirteenth. Then he presses another button and the movie starts.

As we watch the movie Josh and I eat our snacks, more focused on the snacks than the movie. "Give me some chips." I reach into the bag and take some, having to climb on top of him partially to get to them. He's got all the snacks on his side. I climb back off of him and take a big drink of my soda, finishing the last bit of it before I throw it off the bed. I curl up closer to Josh, digging my hand into the chip bag every few minutes.

Halfway through the movie, Josh's hand finds it's way to my thigh. I look away from the movie and down at his hand, watching it creep down to my inner thigh as I munch on some popcorn. I glance up at Josh and see that he's looking at me. He slowly slides his hand back up my thigh and wraps it around my waist, leaning in and kissing me. I drop my handful of popcorn and kiss him back, wrapping my arms around his next. I fall on top of him, and continue kissing him, my hand making it's way to his shirt. His hands moves up my back and around to my chest. I pull off his shirt and he rolls us over, pulling off my shirt and boxers, leaving me completely naked. Then he pulls off his pants and boxers and climbs back on top of me.

We both get dressed again, Josh in his boxers and me in my boxers and shirt, and lay back down. "Come here." He says, and I do. I lay my head on his chest and wrap my arm around him. He wraps his arm around me and pulls my leg on top of him too, his hand sliding up the back of my thigh and then to my butt. His hand stays there, resting on my butt. The credits start rolling on screen and Josh picks up the remote. "Can I have a cookie?" I ask, looking at the box sitting next to him. He hands me the box and says, "Yeah, You can have as many as you want." I slowly get up, my legs feel as if they're detached from my body. "I'm gonna go get chocolate milk. You want some?" I ask. "Yeah." I start to walk away then turn around. "Don't start the movie without me." I smile at him, winking before I turn to walk to the kitchen.
