Chapter 8

                  

We finally arrive home with the trolley.

"All right, I'll unlock the doors and then we can both get as many bags as we can and hopefully not do too many trips" I say starting to unlock the apartment block door.

"Sounds good" Dan says.

I run up the stairs taking two at a time and unlock the door, already wheezing like and overweight old man. I open the door and run back down the stairs and nearly tripping down them.

"All good to go" I say and start to pack bags on my arms.

It ends up with Dan and I having five bags on each arm. I climb the stairs as quickly as I can with a million tons of weight on my arms, and the equivalent of mount Everest in stairs. We finally get to the top of the stairs and practically drop the bags on the kitchen floor.

"They can go on the bench or something. I can take care of putting everything away, you've done enough for us" I say.

"If you insist" Dan says hoisting himself up onto a bench and then knocking his head on a cabinet.

"Smooth Dan" I say laughing.

"Shut up" Dan says laughing at himself.

I start to unpack the refrigerated items into the fridge.

"I only hated one of your videos" I say.

"Which one?" Dan asks.

"It was one where you were a super hero or something and you had a ridiculous bubble wrap suit, captain stress relief was it?" I say with a giggle.

"Why'd you hate it, is captain stress relief not good enough for you?" Dan asks.

"No I just hated the bit where you started to get beat up by those kids and then the panic starts to set in your voice and I wanted to help you but I couldn't and it just caused me distress which I don't think captain stress relief was going for" I say.

And at that sentence Dan looks up and really looks at me

"Captain stress relief sends his condolences" Dan says shaking his head out of the trans.

"Honey, I'm home!" Kyara yells from the door way.

"Hey, how'd you go with all the shopping" I say quickly turning away from Dan.

"Great, can you help me get it out of the car" Kyara asks.

Dan and I both agree and head down stairs to start bring up one of the many loads of the day. We start with Kyara's bed and slowly get through the mountain that Kyara has bought. 

"Thanks so much for helping today" Kyara says to Dan.

"Yeah thank you so much" I say.

"That's okay it was fun hanging out with Australians for the day" Dan smiles. 

"Since you haven't met Phil yet, do you want to come over for dinner tonight?" Dan asks.

"Sure" Kyara smiles.

"We'll just have some showers and then come round" Kyara continues.

"Yeah I could use a shower" I say.

"I'll see you two soon then and I'll text Phil" Dan says.

"Cool see you soon" Kyara says.

We go back into our apartment and start heading up for showers.

"So how was grocery shopping?" Kyara says nudging me.

"It was fine" I say with a smile.

"We have a lot to talk about later though" I continue.
