Just Another Stupid Love Story

Chapter Eight: The Date

I stood in front of my mirror in the bathroom, brushing at my straightened blue hair waiting for Jared to wake up from his sleep. I was nervous and I really had no idea what to expect on this ‘date’. Poison understood that I was being forced to go on this date and because he was curious he was going to be with Jared a few tables away watching to make sure this Chris guy didn’t do anything, or maybe they were making sure I wouldn’t kill him if he did do something.

I sighed, bored of doing the same, continuous motion. Placing my brush onto the table, I walked out of the bathroom and headed towards the guest room. Chris was going to be taking me out to lunch and would be here around midday and it was already eleven thirty. There was no way Jared would be up and ready by twelve. Letting out a huff, I knocked several times onto the hard wooden door, waiting for some sort of reply.

When I heard no noise, I rattled the door knob to find it locked. Growing irritated fairly fast I knocked on the door heavily, the sound echoing throughout the house. A groan made its way from the room before swearing and shuffling was heard, soon enough the door opened to reveal a tired looking Jared, him still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes as he stood only in his grey batman boxers.

“You need to go get ready,” I said, smiling at his grumpy figure.

A groan made its way from his lips before he grabbed a clean pair of clothes and headed for the bathroom to have a morning shower. I smiled and shook my head at his laziness before the door bell echoed throughout the house, indicating that Poison had arrived. An excited squeak left my lips as I raced to the front door, flinging the wooden door open to reveal Poison.

A grin was portrayed on his face, it matching my grin equally. Grabbing his hand I tugged him into the house, feeling as if someone’s eyes were on me. Furrowing my eyebrows I skimmed a quick look around the neighbourhood before closing the door and turning to Poison.

“So, this is where you live...” Poison said, looking around the small path that parted off towards the kitchen.

“Yup,” I replied nodding my head as I grabbed his hand and tugged him through the kitchen.

“Good morning Fury, why aren’t you looking cute this morning!” I heard Jared say chirpily before running into view with Fury behind him, Fury trying to swipe at his heels. “Good Morning Alisa and Aiden! Where is my breakfast?”

“In the cupboard,” I replied, smirking at his happy figure that quickly deflated.

“You love to ruin my day don’t you? Couldn’t you just be like a proper woman and make me a god damn sandwich!” Jared complained before moving over towards the fridge.

I smiled at this Jared. This was the Jared I loved most. I loved the Jared that was spontaneous and completely random, even if he is more energetic today than usual but that’s because he’s now Ezra’s boyfriend. I chuckled a bit at Poison’s shocked face before drawing myself to his chest to wrap my arms around his torso.

“You’ll have to get use to this Jared, this is what he’s really like under the ‘no smile’ Jared,” I said, placing head against his chest making him wrap his arms around my lower back.

I closed my eyes as a smile made its way to my face. I heard a grunt come from Jared as he turned around, making me open my eyes to see Jared drinking straight from the two litre milk bottle. I grinned over at him making him roll his eyes and lower the milk away from his lips, the milk leaving a moustache.

“Can you stop that? You have a date soon and you can’t be seen hugging your adorable boyfriend,” Jared said with annoyance as he put his milk back into the fridge.
