Getting to Know a Yaujta

Chap 14

Candy.

I was lying on the couch watching MTV2's countdown, I wanted some inspiration for my art. I pondered on what a 'city of wonder' would looked like, maybe a crystal metropolis...with a parade...

I saw Josh step into the kitchen with the groceries he left to buy earlier.

"Hey..." I called out with a bored tone.

"Yo..."

"Didn't hear you come in."

"What do you want me to say, 'Honey I'm Home'?"

"Gross, Josh," I flipped the channels lazily, "So, whatchya buy?"

"Um..." is he stammering? I quickly grow suspicious, "you know...stuff..."

I sat up from my lying position on the couch, "What kind of...stuff?"

He took out the milk carton and placed it on the island, he did the same with the orange juice and rice. Josh never takes out the groceries... "

Stuff stuff...what else would I get?"

I was about to list thousands of possible items(most of which were illegal)when my suspicions were proven. A small bag fell out of a hole from the plastic shopping bag. And not just any bag.

It was a bag of gummy bears.

"JOSH YOU DIRTY LITTLE SNEAK!"

I sprang out of the couch and lunged toward the plastic bag of gummy goodness.

"I BOUGHT IT WITH MY OWN MONEY! HANDS OFF!"

He swipes it up and holds it captive above his head. I tackle him to the ground.

"GIMME!"

"GET OFF!"

"GIVE IT TO ME JOSHUA!"

"NOOO!"

We roll.

"GREEDY!"

"IT'S MINE!"

"AAAAH!"

"HANDS OFF!"

"NEVER!"

"NO! NO! HANDS OFF IT TURDFACE!"

"NOOOO!"

I pin him to the ground.

"Hand it over!"

"Spit on me!"

I mustered up the beginning of a giant loogi.

"No! No! I didn't mean it!"

"Then hand it over!"

"Fifty-Fifty!"

"I get to count it!"

"No way! You'd keep it all!"

"Like I'm gonna let you split them!"

"You'd be lucky if I let you keep five!"

"Wrong answer buddy!"

Again with the loogi.

"NO! NO! SOPHIEEEEEEE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Josh started squirming and wailing like a little girl, if it weren't for the urgency of the gummies I'd have laughed.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-uh?"

I looked up to see what had caught Josh's attention. Krone had once again found us in an embarrassing circumstance. Then again...

I found my opportunity.
