My eyes stung. I took a tissue from the table in front of me. I was watching chick flicks in the living room. Kim was on the floor crying softly too. I wasn’t only crying because The Notebook is a touching movie, but because James was a dick. I don’t think I could live with him for the rest of my life.
I sat up and carried the bowl of popcorn seeds.
“Hey Kim,” She looked up at me with tears in her eyes, “I’m going to get more popcorn. Do you want anything?” I asked her.
She held up her water bottle indicating she wanted more. I shook my head and walked to my right, the way to the kitchen.
I opened the cabinet and took out a bag of theater popcorn. I opened the bag, popped it in the microwave, and pushed the button. I leaned in the corner and waited for three minutes while the popcorn popped. I sighed and looked at my shoes.
My parents would never let me get out this mess. They wanted me to marry that hot, jackass, prince up stairs in our room. I would have to live with a perverted jackass. I would have to live in the same room with that hot perverted jackass. I would have to have kids with him. Then we would have to grow old together. We would have to rule a country together. Everything I do, has to be with… him.
I let a single tear escaped my eye. I looked up and saw James coming through the doorway. I quickly wiped away the tear and looked at the microwave. I groaned, still two minutes left.
James reached in the freezer and grabbed a large carton of ice cream. He looked my way and put on a slight grin. I rolled my eyes. He slowly came towards me and put his free hand on the counter. The other holding the ice cream. He leaned in and slowly reached behind my back. During this whole scene I was quite and looked him dead in the eye.
He opened the drawer and took out three spoons. For himself, Terrance, and Gavin. He leaned back and put the ice cream and spoons on the counter. He stared at me. I stared back. Staring contest.
I slowly walked over to him. I smiled. He looked at me the way I looked at him a few moments ago. I trailed my hand up and down his arm. He seemed to relax. Until I kicked him in the crotch. He bend down and dropped to the floor. I smiled in victory.
“You’ll pay for that, bitch.” He muttered, still grabbing on to his sensitive spot.
The microwave dinged. Thank God. I turned and walked over to the microwave. I took out the bag, opened it, and let the popcorn fall into the blue bowl. I took a piece and threw it in my mouth. A hand came from behind me and took the bowl out my hands.
I turned and saw James towering over me. Not holding his crotch in pain anymore.
I turned and saw he had the popcorn bowl, spoons, and ice cream in his hands. He walked out the kitchen, “Thanks dick,” I said getting out another bag of popcorn.
He didn’t reply back. I had a horrible feeling that that wasn’t the pay back I was waiting for.
*~*~*~*~*
I lightly yawned. The dim sun welcomed me from the curtains behind me. I looked around, that’s right, I slept on the couch. I heard two conversations going on. One from the TV and another louder on from the kitchen.
I quietly got off the couch and crept to the outside of the kitchen. I saw Mary and John. They looked angry. There faces were my direction so I could see their expressions. James’ back was turned to me. He was leaning on the island.
“James, what did you let Ever sleep on the couch? You do remember that I told you that you two must sleep together,” John asked. His face was red.
