One More Time
Chapter 1 - Two years later..
Jasmine's Pov
I threw my head back on the couch in defeat. Wasn't there any good television shows on a Saturday afternoon? I guess not.
"Jas?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you wanna do anything babe?"
Jerry sat beside me, his hand resting on my shoulder. Jerry was my roommate and my best friend. We had agreed to share an apartment when we realized that we couldn't pay the rent by ourselves. Of course, before that we had argued over who would get the apartment, since we both wanted it.
"Well, we could go to the movies or you could take me out to eat?"
He laughed,"You're a hungry little person aren't you?"
I smiled,"You already know that."
"I must have been out of my mind when I decided to come live with your ass."
"Hey, you know you love me besides it's you payment to me for being your best friend."
"I didn't know I had to pay to have a best friend. That's it, I'm not your best friend anymore."
"You'll be back."
He laughed,"Where do you want to eat at?"
"See, I knew you couldn't resist me. Why don't you take me to Chucke e Cheese's?"
He raised an eyebrow at me,"Jasmine, you're like twenty."
"So? You're never to old to go to Chucke e Cheese's. Anyways I'm nineteen and a half."
He rolled his eyes,"Same difference and it's like two hours away in Albany."
"This is all on you. You shouldn't have asked me where I wanted to go."
"Why can't I just go get you Sambo's? We literally can walk there."
"Fine, go get me Sambo's. Two chicken sandwiches and a cone ice cream."
"You're so demanding, but okay I get it. I'm the man in this house. I have to do everything!"
I laughed,"Yes you do. Now shoo, I want my food."
He gave me an annoyed look,"At least come with me? If you don't your ice cream will melt."
I sighed and pushed my self off of the sofa,"And go out like this?"
I gestured toward my fluffy shorts and baggy t-shirt
He looked me over,"You look fine to me."
"Fine, just let me get my shoes."
I found my shoes in the middle of the kitchen. How did they get there? I don't know, but I put them on and went outside where Jerry was waiting for me.
"Nothing ever happens here," he said out loud.
"Well, what can you expect? This is Willacoochee."
"You're right. When I moved down here, it was nothing like I expected. I mean come on, two gas stations? One dollar store and grocery store? Three very small restaurants? I swear its like they're located in the same place too."
I laughed,"Well, it is very peaceful here. Even if we don't have very much."
He nodded,"I agree, but don't you get bored?"
"Of course I do. How can you not get bored? We have like two parks, and one of them isn't even a park. It just has a basketball court and a big enough field to play soccer or football."
