A Different Reality (Lasting Love)

Spontaneous

"Hey," Justin opens the shower door "You soon done?  I need in here."

"What do you need in here for?" I move to the side so he has room "You're literally doing nothing today."

"Uh I'm going to the store.  I gotta look nice," He says dramatically "I could meet someone there.  You never know."

"Oh, well in that case, here," I hand him the glittery, strawberry scented body wash I never use "I think you should use this."

"Do you like this kind?" He asks holding it up "Obviously I don't need  impress many other people."

"Babe," I look around "We're standing in our shower together naked for no reason at all.  I think you're done with impressing me."

"Yeah true," He opens the door "Now get out.  I need privacy."

I stand on the outside of the door drying off my hair, while we runs the body wash I showed him all over his body religiously.  He turns the water off a few minutes later, and walks out of the shower grabbing a towel.

"Why are you still here?  I need my privacy."

"For what?" I ask knowing that there isn't much privacy left in this marriage "So I don't see you draw funny pictures with the steam on the mirror?"

"How do you know about that?" He looks confused "I thought I wiped those away."

"I didn't until now," I walk over and kiss him quickly "I'll be ready in 20 minutes."

About an hour later, after Justin realizes he has glitter all over him and scrubs it off, we arrive at the almost empty store.

We walk past the few paparazzi that have followed us here and get in the store.  I grab a cart, and Justin walks next to me picking up everything he sees.  He throws a bunch of it in the car as well like a little kid.

"We don't need any of this, Justin." I start to put some of it back "When I the last time you actually ate fish crackers?  You aren't 5."

He puts the crackers back in the cart, and even adds an extra bag.

"They're delicious and I want them.  You should've thought of this before you tricked me into rubbing glitter all over myself."

"Fine then," I start to walk away "Just know that you're taking snacks from innocent, tiny, children.  And it's not my fault you were dumb enough to fall for that."

"Well when you say it that way I feel like I should be stocking up for ours," He mocks me "It'll need to eat something."

"I think you can wait a little to start that." I reply in a way that he knows to change the subject "We've talked about this already."

He takes the hint and gets quiet as we walk around.  I grab a few more things that we really need while he looks at everything there is.  He even grabs a bunch of random chips that he knows we don't need.

"What if we have a party?" He asks when I tell him we don't need them "We could be having a party soon.  We don't want our guests to starve.  That would just be mean.  They wouldn't want to come to any more of our parties."

"Well if we're having a party I think we need drinks." I walk over to the alcohol section and grab a few different things, wishing I could open one now "I think this is everything."

"I wanna go look at the toys," He starts walking away "There's always cool things to play with there."

I follow him, not wanting him to get kicked out or do anything stupid, and realize very quickly that I did marry a 5 year old in an adult body.  He walks through the aisles throwing everything from chalk to pool toys in the cart, and even grabs one of those huge balls from the cage thing.

"Are we done now?" I motion towards the cart "I think we have enough for the Theroux amusement park back yard."

"No," He glares over at me not liking my comment, and grabs a pack of water guns "Now we are."

I start to walk away, but quickly notice that he isn't next to me and turn around.   When I look back, I see him and some kid throwing toys to each other to catch, while knocking everything over at the same time.

"Jesus, Justin!" I walk over to them and throw a ball at him to get his attention "Come on.  You're gonna get the kid in trouble."

"No, I'm having fun!" He fights back and throws the ball back at me hitting me right in the stomach "Oh shit."  He mumbles while trying not to laugh "Let's go."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

We pay for everything after Justin throws random candy into the cart, and he drives to the ice cream shop instead of going home.

"What are we doing here?" I follow him over to a table "I thought we were going home."

"I wanted to annoy you some more," He smirks. 

A few minutes later, he walks back over with our ice cream.  He sits across from me making a face that I know all to well.   He's about to tell me something, and I don't know if I should be happy or nervous.

"What are you thinking about?" I take my ice cream from him "There's obviously something on your mind."

"Just thinking about things," He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a paper sliding it over to me.

"These are plane tickets," I read over them "To Italy.  What is this, Justin?"

"You have a week off of filming over our anniversary," He hands me another paper "And we're going to Italy to celebrate!"

"What?!" I look up at him in complete shock "We're going to Italy?  I've always wanted to go there!"

"We're going to Italy, babe." He walks over and kisses me "I wanted to do something special for you."

"I guess I deserve it," I kiss him back "For putting up with you for so long."

"Hey, you aren't the easiest person either." He jokes.
