My Darling ♥

chapter 18

we rushed everyone to the backyard and they all hid behind the humongous tree that I love so much.

Jen gave me a thumbs up and I smiled returning the hand signal. walking to the front door I heard Emily's keys jingling and my walking turned into running.

she opened the door and her eyes widened when she saw me. "something wrong?" I asked innocently with my hands behind my back and continuously shifting my weight from my toes to my heels so I was slowly rocking back and forth.

"oh nothing. I didn't think you would still be here"

"well here I am" my smile growing wider.

"yes you are" she says walking past me and into the kitchen "did you change?" she asks as she opens the fridge and looks for something.

"yeah"

"do you know where the strawberries are?"

"yeah"

"where?"

"in my stomach, probably half way digested by now"

"awwe really?"

"yep, sorry did you want some?"

"uhh, yeah! did you just happen to forget that strawberries are my favorite snack ever? oh wait. I forgot, you were too bust stuffing my delicious red 3D triangles that happen to be juicy and red but filled with seeds that you don't really notice. oh, and did I mention that they were red? my favorite color of all time!"

"yes, I'm aware"

"and you didn't bother saving me some?"

"well actually I was going to tell you that I left some in the living room but you were too busy giving me a very vivid description of your favorite snack. oh and another thing.. they're cones but can sometimes be a pyramid depending on what person handled them before you bought them"

"nice to know"

"yup" I turned to walk to the living room and she followed me. my eyes went to the table that I set the strawberries on. they're eaten and the little green plant attached to the top of them was the only thing left.

"I thought you said you saved some for me"

"I did.. maybe Jonas ate them"

she looked at me as if I were a dog that tried to enter a doorway but it was shoved back because it had on 'the cone of shame'.

"Jonas hates strawberries. why do you think I love them so much?"

"that's right.. well maybe you dad  or your mom, or.."

"babe. no one in this house will eat strawberries voluntarily except me"

"not true"

"oh really?"

"yep"

"who else?"

"me"

"but you don't live here"

"well I spend more time here than my own home so I think that the rules would apply"

"yeah I guess.. we have home rules in our book?"

"yep. out of that giant book you didn't think there would be home rules? I mean you did help me figure out all the rules"

"true"

"enough taking I wanna dress you up. you're gonna be my human Barbie doll for a little while" I say grabbing her wrist and pulling her upstairs to her room.

"umm.. okay"

opening her door I shove both of us inside "sit down" I instruct pointing to here vanity chair.

I don't mean to be so pushy but we spent so much time discussing the strawberries that everyone is  probably really mad at me for taking so long and I haven't even started working on her hair yet.
