"What's the plan for today, Biggums?" Jerome looks at me. I shrug.
"I'm not sure....." He stares into space, thinking for a moment.
"How about we record a video or two with some people then head out for a fun night tonight?"
"You mean at a bar?"
"No, I meant at a funhouse." He chuckles and jokingly nudges me. "Yes, at a bar. Unless you have a problem with it..."
"No!" I suddenly blurt out, maybe a little too quickly. The truth is, as much as I do like occasionally getting drunk, it's not my idea of fun every night. It's not Jerome's either but still..alcohol can make you do stupid things...stupid things you'll regret. I nod anyway. "A bar is good." He smiles.
"Great! But first, let's do a quick video with....how about Sky and Tyler?"
"Depends, which Tyler?"
"Does it matter?"
"Nah, just curious."
"Oh. I was thinking LogDotZip. That okay with you?" I shrug.
"Dat's cool G." We head to my room, set up the equipment, get in the call with Tyler and Sky and start playing a game of Hunger Games. I push all my worries aside and focus on the task at hand; win the Hunger Games.
"BIGGUMS, BEHIND YOU." Jerome turns around to see someone named ProAcer98 (Random name) heading right at him with an iron sword. I try to defend him but he's no match for ProAcer's sword. He disappears and ProAcer starts picking up his loot until I step in, hitting him as hard as I can with my stupid wooden sword. He disappears, the only reason being Jerome weakened him enough for me to kill him. I hear Jerome laugh.
"You get em, Biggums. Win it for me."
"You got it G." I grab the iron sword, switch my sexy lingerie to the iron boob plate and check how many players are left. Suddenly, I'm transported to the centre. D match already. I look around quickly, realizing it's only me, Tyler, and someone named NeonLights17 (THIS IS MY MINECRAFT NAME I WANTED TO USE IT SO. YUP. DON'T JUDGE MEH) She doesn't seem like much of a threat, considering all she has is leather booties and a stone sword. I ignore her for the moment and run at Tyler. I notice she's running at him too and together we take him down. I thank her for help in the chat then kill her with one hit.
"I WON DA HUNGA DEENS." Jerome chuckles.
"GG, buddy." In real life, he hugs me. I feel a slight blush creep across my cheeks. He's so warm. And he gives great hugs...I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Sky doing his outro...or trying to.
"So yeah that was the Hunger Games with Fluffy, Tyler and Mitch so go subscribe to them and-TYLER STAHP." We're all back in the lobby so I look over and see Tyler's character crouching next to Sky's.
"NO SKY. LOVE ME." Jerome and I burst out laughing as Sky runs away with Tyler chasing him as he tries to finish.
"Subscribe to these people except Tyler CAUSE HE'S A JERK. SO YEAH BYE GUYS." We all say our goodbye's and stop the recording. Then Sky starts properly yelling.
"TYLER SCREW OFF I SOUNDED LIKE AN IDIOT." I can practically hear the smirk in Tyler's voice.
"You love me, Adam."
"Go away." I look at Jerome and he looks back. We both nod and he quickly speaks to the two arguing men.
"Okay well Mitch and I gotta go and stuff so yeah we'll be off now bye." Before he ends the call, we hear one last shout from Sky.
"FLUFFY NO." Then Jerome ends the call and we both collapse into a fit of giggles.
"That was something else." I nod and try to calm down.
"I'll say." He stands up.
"Alrighty that took a little while. A lot longer than I thought. I have to go get ready." He leaves the room and I chuckle. Recording, especially with Jerome, makes me happy. That's a pretty rare thing for me to say anymore. It's hard to find many things that can even make me crack a real smile. But Jerome is the one thing that always makes me laugh. He makes me smile....and he makes me feel alive...
I must've gotten lost in my thoughts because Jerome walks in and throws a pillow at my face.
"You haven't even started getting ready?" I shake my head loosely.
"Kinda zoned out for a moment there." Jerome goes in my closet and throws me a shirt and some pants.
"Wear this. I like that shirt on you." He heads out again, leaving me a blushing mess and deciding to wear that shirt more often.
A bit later, I head out into the living room to see Jerome already there.
"Ian and Jason are both around here so they're coming with us tonight. Sound good?"
"Sounds good." We head out to the bar closest to my place called the Red Flame. We get past the bouncer easily and step inside, taking in the view. Girls are grinding against guys everywhere you look. Some people are over at the bar, most clearly drunk, others completely passed out. Ian and Jason head up to us and greet us.
"Let's get this party started!"
I've been sitting at this bar for two hours. I've been only drinking a little. Jerome, Jason, and Ian are completely drunk. I suddenly feel someone wrap their arm around my shoulders.
"Hey there buddy!" I can smell Jerome's alcohol breath from here. I smile.
"Hey buddy." He orders two shots of tequila.
"One for me, one for you." Once we get them, we down them immediately. I feel a little buzz and I giggle. He orders a few more and soon, I'm a little more tipsy than I would've liked. Jerome drags me on the dancefloor.
"Come on Biggums lets danceeee." We start stumbling every way and laughing the entire time. The room is spinning. Everything begins to blur until we get home after taking a taxi, (Cuz they're smart drunks....or cuz I called one for them. You're welcome) We manage to get in the house and go to my room. We both fall on my bed, the room a dark spinning mass. Suddenly, through the darkness, I can see Jerome getting closer and I suddenly feel his lips on mine. I press my lips against his, desperately hoping this is for real.
If this is a dream, never let me wake up...
