I Never Planned On You

Day 7/18- Cabinet

"Wake up!" Melissa yells as she and Josh jump on my bed.

"Why are you guys awake? It's like 2 in the morning!" I complain, rolling over.

"It's noon!" Josh says, plopping down next to me.

"And, we want to hear all about your date!" Melissa gushes, sitting next to Josh.

"Yeah! Ben won't tell me anything!" Josh whines.

"Fine, I will tell you about our date." I say, making them happy.

"Yay!" Melissa exclaims, "Tell us everything!"

"Okay, so we were gonna go to a really fancy restaurant, but Ben accidently made the reservation for the day before, so we had Chick-Fil-A instead."

"Typical Ben." Josh butts in.

"We had way too much food, so we just walked around for a while. Then he suggested that we go laser tagging, and so we went and then he brought me back here." I finished.

"That's it? I wanted full dialogue!" Melissa complains.

"I don't remember everything that we said!" I tell her.

"Well, I want to know everything that happened! Did you hold hands? Oh my gosh, did you guys makeout?" She presses on, making me blush.

"We didn't makeout, it was our first date!"

"Okay, you didn't makeout , but did you at least kiss?" Josh asks, causing me to blush even more. He notices my red cheeks and says, "Awww, my babies kissed!"

"Ah, shut up!" I say, covering my face with a pillow.

"Aw, you two are too cute! When did you kiss?" Melissa asks.

"When we were laser tagging. Nobody else was there, and I was hiding from him because he's way better than me. Then he found me and just...kissed me." I smiled, remembering what happened a little over 12 hours ago.

"Aww, you and Ben are my new otp!" Mel cheers.

"Shut up!" I whine, blushing.

"Fine, we'll stop talking about you and your precious Benny-Boo." Josh says. "But, some of us are going to lunch in 20 minutes. Do you wanna come with us?"

"Sure. But if you'll excuse me, I have to go get ready." I say as I stand up off of my bed, grabbing some clothes, and going into the bathroom. I start playing music on my phone, rinse off in the shower, brush my teeth, put on some makeup, and put on a cream sweater with leggings and those comfy moccasins from last night.

I walk out of the bathroom to see Nick, Ben, Kaitlyn, Josh, and Melissa in our room.

"Why are you guys in here?" I ask, getting their attention.

"You were taking too long, so I told everybody to just come over." Josh explained.

"I was in there for 15 minutes!" I laugh.

"Sorry for being hungry!" Josh says.

"Then let's go!" Nick suggests.

I grab my purse from next to my bed and we leave the room.

"So, where are we going?" I ask, assuming they were talking about it while I was getting ready.

"Don't know...Do you guys wanna go to Olive Garden?" Kaitlyn asks.

Everybody says yes, so Melissa, being the responsible one, looks up the closest Olive Garden so that we don't get lost. "Okay, the closest one is 20 minutes away, so do you want to walk, or do you want to get an Uber?" Mel asks.

"Will we all fit in one car?" Ben asks.

"Probably not, we would have to get 2." Josh says. "I CALL BEN AND ANDIE!" He grabbed our wrists and we laugh.

"Okay, so I will get those cars coming." Melissa says.

"Mel told me all about your date!" Kaitlyn quietly told me in a sing-songy voice.

"Does everybody know how our date went?" I ask. It's not that I don't want everyone to know all about that date, I just kind of wanted it to be a thing just between us. Granted, I did tell Josh and Melissa, buy Josh and Ben are practically the same person, and Melissa is-well she's Melissa.

"No, just me. Have you talked to Ben yet?" She asks. I'm glad it's only her who knows the (kind of) specifics.

"Well, I'm not throwing myself at him, but I'm also not ignoring him." I say.

"You should talk to him! You guys are too cute! I loved the picture he put on Instagram last night!" She said.

"What picture?" I ask.

"You didn't see it? She asks.

"No, I've been asleep." I laugh.

Kaitlyn goes to Ben's Instagram account and his most recent picture is of the both of us on the Dance Dance Revolution game from the laser tag place with the caption, '*announcer voice* World's best DDR player, Andrea Collins!'. It was taken from the back, but you could still tell that we were having fun. How that picture was taken, I have no idea.

"That's a cute picture." I smile.

"And if you start dating, there could be even more cute pictures. Wink-wink, nudge-nudge." She hints.

"I'm about to pee my pants!" I hear Josh complain.

"Then go pee!" Nick says.

"I don't feel like it!" Josh replies.

"If we're going to share a car, you better pee now m, because I don't want you having an accident all over the seats." Ben says.

"Fine, I'll go. Josh gives in, heading for the bathroom.

Not a second later, Melissa says that one of the cars is here. Seeing as though Josh isn't even here, we let Mel, Kait, and Nick have the first one, leaving me and Ben alone.

"I like your shoes." Ben laughs.

"Don't make fun of me, these are very comfortable!" I laugh, looking down at my feet.

"No disrespect. You can really pull off cheesy tourist slippers." He says, a smile appearing on his lips. I kissed those lips. God, I sound like a total freak of the week. Calm down, Andie.

"Why thank you." I said, posing like some deranged model.

"So, about last night, I really want to do something like that again." He says, making me smile.

"Yeah, I do too." I reply, and this time, I make him smile.

"Great. Wonderful. Amazing. Phenomenal. Fantas-" Ben says, but I cut him off.

"I get the point." I laugh.

"Yeah, I probably should've stopped after 'amazing'." He says, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Anyway, where is Josh? It doesn't take that long to pee." I point out.

"Yeah, I have no clue what is taking him so long." Just then, Ben got a text from Josh saying,

' HELP ME! '

"What's up with him?" I ask.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna go help him out of whatever it is that he did." Ben laughs, before going into the bathroom. They both came out a few minute later.

"Long story short, Josh got stuck in a cabinet, but will not tell us what he was doing in there." Ben tells everyone after we got to Olive Garden, as I was dying laughing.

"This moment will forever go down in history as The Cabinet Incident." Nick says.

We all kept calling him "Cabinet Boy." all day.

"You get stuck in a cabinet once." Josh says.
