Short story- (this is one i made up. its also kinda funny and romantic and cheesy)(i will have different themes though)

First person

Its been 20 days, 20 horrible days since I have last ate one piece of popcorn. I grumble to myself while I try to shove a piece of broccoli in my mouth. why did I ever even go along with this stupid 'new years resolution' thing? ugh. I give up. I set the stupid steamed broccoli down and put on my coat. Target: buy popcorn and ice cream and binge watch supernatural. I take a last look in the mirror, finishing with my new coat of washed out eyeliner and rubbing the black marks that have managed to sink down. Yea I am not looking like a fat ass AND a raccoon.  My dark blue jeans contrast pretty well with my long red and black buttoned trench coat. I shrug at the mess that is my long wavy hair with red dyed tips. 'I should re-dye that' I think to myself as i get the keys from my really cute cat-key hanger. "Ill be back!" I yell out to Ella, hearing a 'meow'after. Smiling, I step out to the chilly Chicago weather, "spring needs to hurry" I mutter as I close the lock to my apartment.

Walking down the road to the nearest 7-11 about a block away I plug in my earphones jamming out to ode to sleep by twenty one pilots.  'SOME SEE A PEN I SEE A HARPOON' I whisper shout closing my eyes  and doing a random hand gesture. I open my eyes to see im walking straight into a slippery piece of ice. "fuck" I mutter before feeling my dirty converse defying gravity. I brace for impact, which is literally me trying to turn into a turtle. I feel my self falling into- a tree? Oh shit, trees don't breathe. I quickly regain my balance and turn around, I sneak a peek at my 'tree'. My god. he is gorgeous. He chuckles lowly his laughter turning into little clouds of white.
"you o k?" he says after a while, I move my eyes somewhere else this time. His image still embedded in my brain. His loose jeans and black jacket contrast so finely with his lightly tanned skin. His eyes a nice tropical green. Along with his light brown wind tossled hair thrown to the side  seeming to fit him perfectly.  I shiver as I answer back "yea, im fine, thanks!" He nods, " the names Nick,yours?" I blush a little although its dully seen due to the cold. "Allison" i say shaking his awaiting hand. He nods. "beautiful name for a beautiful girl" I laugh, "thanks" i say. "what you don't believe me?" " No comment."  I state,laughing. he shakes his head. So Where to, miss Allison?" "7-11 Actually " 'i say lowly. WhY and i telling him the truth oh my lord he's doing to think im wierd.'
"Uh I mean you dont have to come with me" I stutter out.
He chuckles 'this boy does that Alot huh?'
"Its alright. Wouldn't want you falling again now would I?"
I laugh awkwardly,
"Uhm sure thanks!"
We start walk in down the street nearing 7-11.
"So what do you do?"
He asks catching me off gaurd
"Oh, uhm im working at the vet around the corner" I say shyly
"Wow, your a doctor?!"he asks, his perfect eyebrows moving upwards.
I giggle and nod my head.
"Im sorry. Its a shock. You seem younger, to have passed vet school?"
"Oh I know everyone tells me. I actually started a vet program in high school and I skipped 7th grade and sophomore year. I was immediately accepted, since I graduated early and now here I am a 26 year-old vet" I say. "Wow" he says smiling as he opens the door for me to enter the store.
I thank him and we walk to the snacks section I grab popcorn chips and ice cream and he gets a beer chips and gum? 'M. Ok' we go to the cash register as he tells me about his career. Turns out he is a 27 year-old tech at apple. Gosh is smart. He also told me he moved in recently due to a fall in out with his parents in Indiana.
I nod as he tells me about all this.
Im so into his story I dont notice him buying my things.
When I finally pop into the real world he is lead in me out the door, holding all the bags. "Wait what?! You did t need to pay for me oh my gosh" I say out loud. He chuckles "dude dont worry about it."
"O god. I have to pay you back somehow!"
"You can invite me over to your apartment?"
'Wow he's so not subtle'
"Uhm yea sure! I was planning on being lonely all day hah" I say awkwardly.
"Same here" he smiles.
We and make our way up to my apartment.
----------------------------------
I get out of my little world. "And that. Kids is how me and you father met" I say to Wendy and peter while I finish tucking them into their beds. "One more time mommy!" I hear peter say. I laugh and shake my head. "I swill never get tired of saying it. But you need sleep. So go on and sleep." I hear whines and I laugh as I wobble over to the door entrance, turn off the lights and close the door.
"Goodnight kids" I whisper.
I make my way to the bed,
"Hey hun,' I hear nick say from the sheets under the bed. I plop onto it and sigh. Its been a hard day. Handling 5 year old twins is hard.
I sigh. Holding my growing tummy. It doesn't seem to stop growing and I know Emma is going to pop out anytime soon.
"You know. I think we got prego too fast" I say chuckling. "We had only been together a year!" "SHHH" he says turns off the light and nestles in bed. I lean into him hearing his heartbeat, lulling myself to sleep.
