Fourth of July

Chapter 8

"Fall Out Boy played with the Pistons, their song was called the latest or something"(He was talking about the last of the real ones) "and I know my Fall out boys, I know Pete Wentz anywhere his eyeshadow makes him look like a raccoon" -my dad

Also wtf is "if you were Church I'd get on my knees"? I've gotten at least ten comments about it on three different books yesterday and I'm so confused

I walked inside and smiled when I saw Gee.

"Guess what, I got you a gift," I said.

Jamia smiled as Gee ran over to me. I held out the stuffie and Gee screamed, making both of us flinch.

"Squill!" He shrieked.

He hugged the squirrel stuffie tight in his arms as he squealed.

"Squill, you have to meet Sebby!" Gee exclaimed.

Gee ran off back to the bedroom and I smiled as Jamia walked over.

"You know that new movie is coming out tonight," Jamia said.

"The one with the detective?" I asked and she nodded. "Shit, I totally wanna see that."

"We should go together tonight," Jamia suggested.

"Yeah, definitely," I agreed.

Jamia lit up as she smiled.

"Although I don't think Gee would like it," I said.

"Evan can watch her," Jamia said. "I'll call him."

I nodded my head and went back to the bedroom, finding Gee making Sebastian and his squirrel talk to each other.

"Hey, Gee, how do you feel about Evan coming over to play with you?" Frank asked.

"Play with you and me?" He asked.

"No, I won't be home, it's like how Jamia babysits you," I said.

Gee looked a little nervous but nodded anyways. Jamia walked in and smiled.

"He agreed," Jamia said. "I'm gonna run home to grab a shower and get ready."

"Alright, I'll pick you up later," I said.

She kissed my cheek before leaving. I smiled and walked out to the kitchen. Gee came in and sat on the couch, pointing the remote at the tv.

"Why doesn't big Evan work?" He asked.

"You have to press a button, you don't just point it," I said.

I helped turn on the tv for him and turned to some cartoons. Gee ended up falling asleep as I cooked, making a pan of lasagna. When Evan came in I smiled, letting him in.

"So, I made dinner," I said. "It's in the oven and I'm not sure if Gee likes it or not but he probably will. If he doesn't then I'm sure he would be happy with just a bowl of ramen, which are in the cabinet at the top. He likes apple juice the most but do not give him coffee, I learned that the hard way from him dumping it everywhere."

Evan chuckled softly as he tossed his jacket onto the armchair.

"He shouldn't need a bath tonight but make sure that he's in bed by nine," I said. "He'll probably start dozing off just a little bit before then. We probably won't be gone long, but we'll be gone until after he goes to sleep."

"We'll be fine," Evan said. "Go have fun."

I nodded and I gave Gee a hug.

"Alright, sweetheart, I have to go now," I said.
