~Chapter 29~

Walking into the store, everyone started going their separate ways as they went to their preferred parts of the store. Rob to the Flowers, Mitch and Jerome to the candy, and Vikk to the small book selection in the back.

Preston and I just looked down at the list, strolling through the store. Grabbing what we needed when we walked by, silently crossing off each thing on the list.

"Everything all right?"

My hands nearly drop the dish soap when he talks suddenly, but I just continue and set it in the shopping cart.

"Yeah, Yeah. Tired."

He sighs lightly from behind me, as I eye the isles to see which ones to avoid or to go to.

"You slept for a few hours."

"It wasn't a great sleep."

Picking up a package of candy and setting it in the buggy, I'm reminded of the heaps of Candy Mitchell kept in his closet back home. I smile lazily, glancing back at Preston.

"Do you miss home at all?"

"Of course I do."

"I do too, but I'd rather be here. With all of you guys, living the dream."

"Same here."

A small smile on my face, we roll past Rob again, who was looking at a small boquet of roses. Just before he can set them down, the little mist above the flowers goes off, and he drops them in the little display before rushing back over to us.

"I think the flowers just sneezed on me."

I giggle, and Preston just smacks Rob's back whilst laughing.

"They did. I saw it all." He jokes, Rob laughing nervously.

We continue walking down all of the little isles, running back and forth and grabbing things as Rob crosses things off the list.

I had about eight things in my arms at a time, dropping them in the cart before running back to grab more.

"This is going to take forever," Vikk complains, walking back with a thick book in hand. "Mitch and Jerome haven't been shopping in forever and we're here doing all of their work."

"Well we do live with them, and thankfully we don't really have any issues with money. So this is really a group effort." Rob explains, earning a groan from Vikk.

He pulls out his phone and holds it up, a photo of Mitch and Jerome playing in the candy isle taking up the screen.

"Group effort my ass." Vikk says, putting his phone back in his pocket. "Lets go and get them."

"PRESTON, GO AND GRAB MITCH AND JEROME AND IF YOU'RE BACK FAST ENOUGH WE CAN GO TO FIVE GUYS FOR DINNER!" I yell, pointing down the isle. His eyes light up and the next thing I know, Preston is out of sight.

Vikk chuckles lightly before picking up the list, and taking a picture of it on his phone. Rob glances at the list as well, grimacing. "There's at least 30 things left on this list."

"That's why we're getting the entire pack here, so we can divide an conquer." I explain, taking a picture of the list as well. "Everybody will get five or six things to scout out and grab, and then we'll meet back up and then we can go. And the sooner we can get everything and check out, the sooner we get to five guys."

Preston comes running into the isle again, dragging Mitch and Jerome along with him.

"I HEARD FIVE GUYS AGAIN!"

Laughing, I grab Preston's phone and unlock it with my thumb print before taking a picture of the list.

What? He did it to mine so its only fair if I get to put fingerprint in his phone.
