Thompson
It goes on and on with about a hundred and one interruptions. A mini commercial where I attempt and fail at suppressing my laughter.
And It happens...
Both Adam and I burst in laughter, giving each other a low five as we laughed hysterically.
His laugh was long, breathy, sometimes internal, with soundly ends.
He had his eyes shut in the most adorable-slash-amusing way ever...
Three arcs formed on both sides of his cheeks crawling up to the side of his eyes.
It was the first time I saw his flashing white set of teeth.
He looked so good laughing! He should be laughing often!
"I can't-"
"I'll never stop..." I had to walk a bit farther away from him and face away to be able to stop my laughter.
The problem was that he was laughing at my laughter and it made it so hard for me to stop.
With him laughing and that girl's image replaying itself before my eyes, I almost got myself in tears from how hard I laughed.
"Ah..." Adam sighs, rubbing at his tummy.
I take a deep breath and purse my lips hard.
"Oh..." I release my held breath and I instantly feel a lot better, specifically more kept together and in control...
"If we hadn't come out here, we would've missed all this..." He laughs softly and I nod joining him.
"Let's go look for the others. It's getting late..." He jerks his head towards the door and I follow him back in.
We go separate ways and as usual, I find Cole and Madonna and Adam finds Nala, Brandon, and James.
We meet out front and we all walk together towards our cars.
"Can Nala ride with us?" Brandon asks Adam but Adam shakes his head without a pre-thought.
"It's already late. Come on..." He speaks and Brandon turns to Nala with a sad smile.
"Oh, we haven't discussed the trip."
"Ya'll in right?" Cole asks.
"Madonna here is going to fix something up with work..."
"You'll make it work right?" He smiles at Madonna and she smiles sweetly.
"Hopefully..." She nodded.
"The rest-you're all good to go right?" Cole looks around and Adam glances at me.
"Tess?" Cole frowns a little.
"Umm-when?" I ask and I hear Nala huff before she places a kiss on Brandon's cheek and walks away towards Adam's front car seat.
"Backseat." Adam utters without even turning her way.
"My ass..." She takes the front seat anyway...
"You're coming right?" Cole takes a step closer to me.
"Just for a weekend." He nods and I glance at Madonna who cocks her head a little, indicating it was possible.
I nod and he grins.
"Alright, I'll drop Madonna home..."
"James!" Brandon howlers for James to get in the car and we soon all part-ways.
I take the back seat and none of us speaks a word all the way back...
Thwaites
I sat on the edge of my bed, browsing my phone, waiting on Tess, still feeling slightly uneasy.
I felt very empty on the inside.
