Picture of Blake on the side. Yes it's Colton Haynes, I love him and you should too.

I had finished eating my lunch, checked the documents that I had brought back home from the office and sent out some important emails.

I was lying on the couch in my living room and watching reruns of Ground Floor. I had finished watching both the seasons but honestly I had nothing better to do. I really wanted to take a nap but of course sleep never came to me easily.

I decided to call Blake and bother him. I grabbed my phone and called his number. It rang four times before he finally picked up.

"Hiiii," he seemed to be in a great mood.

"Hey, what's up? I'm majorly bored," I said while sighing.

"Well in that case, you should come grocery shopping with me. I was just about to head out, I'll pick you up on the way," he said.

Anything to get rid of the goddamn boredom.

"Alright, sounds like a plan," I nodded my head.

"I'll be there in like 10 minutes," he stated.

"Okay bye," I hung up.

I got up from the couch and went to my room. I changed from my sweats into leggings and a grey t-shirt. After fixing my hair, I swiped some mascara on my eyelashes and made my way out of my room. I sat down in front of the television again and picked up my phone from the coffee table. I scrolled aimlessly through it while waiting for Blake to arrive.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, I finally got a text from Blake telling me that he was here. I grabbed my purse and locked the main door and headed down to the ground floor. After getting out of the apartment building, I quickly spotted his car and walked towards it.

I got into the passengers seat and put my seatbelt on.

"Hey," I said while looking at him and smiling.

"How've you been?" he returned my smile and started driving.

"Apart from the fact that I get bored very easily, I'm pretty good," I looked ahead to the road.

"Don't you worry, I'm here to make that boredom of yours go away," his eyes looked at me for a split second before he focused back on the road again.

We chatted all the way to the mall and even after we got out of the car and walked towards the store, Blake kept speaking and smiling. He literally was a big ball of sunshine. It made me happy.

He pulled out a cart and then we entered the store together while walking side by side.

"What do you need to get?" I looked at him and asked.

"Basically food and some other shit," he summed up.

I nodded my head and he lead me towards the fruits and vegetables. He picked out some apples and oranges and that's when I remembered that I was almost out of fruits. I decided to buy whatever I needed too and that's how we spent the next almost 3 hours.

"You bought so much shit, I can't believe you. Are you even gonna eat all of that?" I asked Blake while he was getting his stuff checked out.

"I'm a growing boy, I need all the food that I can get," he said with a straight face. Even the cashier looked at him weird.

I shook my head and laughed at him.

After we both paid for our things, we made our way back to his car and dumped all the groceries in the trunk. We both settled in our seats and he started driving back towards my house.
