late night wishes

naomi-hour two, wish four

"Then what's the fifth wish?" Eric asks as we scramble into the nearest Ralph's causing the zombie-like employees to wake up and stare at us oddly. "Sorry." Eric mumbles.

"You'll find out soon enough." I grin at him, grabbing his hand and running through the aisles. More and more employees(and a few customers) stare at us like we are a deranged couple.

Not that we are a couple...

You want it, Ruth. You know you do.

I shake off my thoughts as Eric's palms get sweaty. His hand holds mine tighter as we laugh, scaring as many people as we can. I finally pause in the pet food section, leaning against the shelves. Eric leans next to me, still holding my hand as if it were a lifeline.

It feels kinda nice.

We smile at each other and I take a step back. Eric stands behind me, bringing my hand behind my back. "Why are we in the dog food aisle?"

"Pet food aisle, excuse you." I correct him, turning around and smiling up at him.

"We're standing in the dog food section or the aisle though." He whispers, leaning closer to me.

What color do you think your cheeks are right now, Naomi?

I let go of his hand, running over to find the cheapest can of dog food.

Aw, poor Eric.

I grab a dollar can and gesture for Eric to follow me. We go to check out and the sleepy, annoyed cashier scan the dog food for us. "Shit! One second, I'll be right back." I tell Eric and the cashier as Eric pulls out his wallet, leaving them as I run to grab a small box of small sized condoms. "Okay, now I'm done." I tell them as a lay the condoms on the conveyor.

"I really wanna ask, but I won't." The cashier winks at Eric.

"Oh, it's not like that..." I blush, looking over at Eric whose head is down. He quickly hands the cashier the amount and I grab the items, leaving. As we exit the store, I stop to look up at Eric. "I'm sorry. For grabbing your hand and for making this awkward and for just-"

"Being you? Don't be sorry, Ruth." Eric smiles. "It was kind of fun, running through the aisles with you. I enjoyed it."

"Really? I-I tried doing that with another friend but Amelia told me to stop..." I look down, kicking at the ground.

"Amelia is a loser than." Eric grabs my hand. "I live running through aisles."

We both laugh, our eyes gleaning. I swear, that for one spilt second, we might have looked like an extremely happy couple. A Jim and Pam if you will.

Too bad he doesn't like you.

I take my hand back and look down at the items. "Alright, time for us to take a little intermission part two before we drop these off to a certain bitch."
