"Hey Alea, can you get popcorn while i choose a movie to watch?" he asked while he was going through our dvd library. "sure. i can't believe you trust me to bring you something edible! i definitely wont put something poisonous in it to get revenge for poking my ass if that's what you were thinking..." i said trying to give that obvious voice tone that they do in movies when they're not very good liars.
"i'm sure you won't haha. NOW GO MAKE ME SOME POPCORN WOMAN!!!" he said in the saddest impression of a 1920's actor. " ugh, fine." i said dragging my feet into the kitchen like a three year old. Grabbing the popcorn, Natasha Bedingfield just popped up in my mind. I started humming to one of her songs while making the popcorn and sort of got lost in the song. i started shaking my hips to the beat while i was humming to "Unwritten" and while the popcorn was popping in the microwave, i grabbed the pepper shaker and started singing into it like a dorky little rockstar wanna be.
"Feel the rain on your skin. Noone else can feel it for you. Only you can let it in. Noone else Noone else" i sang while throwing my hands in the air in the moment.
"ahah! you done with the popcorn yet?" I heard while doing the running man. James startled me and i dropped the pepper shaker. He was just casually leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He sure looked entertained. "You were not supposed to see that!!!" i said running at him and ramming him like a bull, right into what i thought his belly was. "uumphh!!" i said on impact. " what are you hiding under your shirt?? a dictionary?!?!?!" i said laughing at myself. "Do i have to keep repeating myself when i say that i've been working out??" he said smiling down at me.
"ugh, whatever! go back into the livingroom captain america. the popcorn is almost done." i said pushing him back into the living room. "wow Alea! i didn't know you think i was THAT hot! Chris Evans certainly is a hottie. I'm FLATTERED!" he said moving forward at my pushing. "shut up and leave!" i said laughing.
When i finally got him back into the living room, the microwave alarm went off. Popcorn was done! Ahh, the smell of buttered popcorn. i poured all the popcorn into a large green bowl and put some rice crackers in it. We both love our popcorn with rice crackers.
i was in my favorite green silk pajama pants, dark blue tank top, and bunny slippers. James is the only person besides my parents who is allowed to see me like this. I walked in with my bunny slippers squeeking out loud announcing my arrival. "i was always fond of those slippers" he said laughing in a face palm. "you gotta love it!" i said when i stepped on the corner of my small carpet and the carpet did a super slide on me, landing on my butt. Luckily the popcorn was saved. "AND SHE STICKS THE LANDING!!!!!!" he said laughing. then he started laughing harder, then harder, then finally to the point where he's litterally rolling on the floor. "MY GOD ALEA!!!! I'M DYING!!!!" he said rolling on the floor, laughing to the point where it hurt because he couldn't breathe.
After he said that, i started laughing hard, too. Hell, i was laughing so hard i tried to get up and i fell back down because i just couldn't stop. "BAHHAHA!!! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET!!!!! I TOLD YOU YOU'LL DIE!!" i said trying to breathe and finish the sentence, still laughing.
it took us a while to calm down and when we finally did, my stomach hurt. I took the right end of the couch while he put in the movie. "What are we watching Muscle Man??" i asked him. " you're just going to have to wait and see Ms. Cluts" he said reinacting my little incident over again. Me, still laughing, threw a handfull of popcorn at him. "HEY! it was funny!" he said. "I KNOW! and you will not mention this to anyone." i told him "especially not Mellissa. I'll never hear the end of it." i said laughing at myself playing over the scene in my head.
"scoot over!! Captain America needs a place to sit, too!" he said waving his hands in front of me gesturing me to move over. "umm, there are three feet of cushion right next to me to sit on!" i said not budging. " exactly! that way, you can move over!" he said just waiting for me to move over. "Nu-uh!! i'm not moving!" i asid crossing my arms like a little girl. "well, fine then!" he said sitting on me and moving his butt from side to side. "JAMES!!!!!! GET YOUR ASS OFF OF ME!!!!" i said laughing. "Not until you scoot yours over!" he said chuckling as well.
"How can i scoot over when you're on top of me?!?!" i said squirming like a worm under him. "Touché." he said getting off my crushed rib cage. So as i was told, i finally scoot over and James stole my favorite seat on the couch. " You ready to cry?" he said smiling down at me. " Oh, God no. Let me guess. Titanic? A Walk To Remember? My Sister's Keeper? Oh, wait. Marley and Me?" i said counting the different sad movies that i know like the back of my hand.
" haha the first one." He said smiling. " oh the nonsense of the sad story of Rose and Jack?" i said. "what? you don't like that movie?" he said with the smile disappeared. "ahem! that thing she was on could've fit two damn people on that thing!" i said chuckling. "true, true" he said running his hand through his hair. He always had this habit of playing with his hair when he starts thinking of anything.
The room got cold so I laid down next to him, putting my head on the inside of his shoulder while he put his arm around me. I always loved his warmness that surround me. What can i say? I'm comfortable around him. He's my best friend. Why wouldn't i be?
"so what are you waiting for? PLAY IT!" i said poking his side.
