The Break Up Plan

16: GROCERY SHOPPING

"Hey" I greet as I open the door on Saturday morning.

Cole raises his eyebrow, a small smirk on his lips, "You're still wearing my hoodie"

I smirk, "you're never getting this back, move on"

He shrugs as he walks in, "You look cute"

I bite back a smile as I close the door behind him, "So I was thinking we could study in my library today"

Every Saturday he comes over, we study in a different room of my house.

He turns to me and I discreetly check him out. He's wearing black jeans and a blue flannel shirt with a grey inner Tee. He's wearing my favorite pair of shoes of his (he doesn't know that though), a pair of grey converse. Don't ask why, it's just my favorite.

"I thought we did that two weeks ago" he asks.

I shake my head as I lead him, "That was the general one"

"Of course" he mutters as he follows me.

I unlock the door and walk in, closing the door after him, I gesture to the space, "Welcome to my niche"

"Wow" he breathes.

I smile proudly, my library is my favorite part of the house. To the left is a huge oak shelf filled to the brim with books, I specifically asked for it to look like the one in Beauty and the Beast, ladder and all. Opposite is a desk and two chairs (one I just added) with a computer, beside that is a huge beanbag chair facing a TV. There's also a refrigerator and a vision board on the wall.

I lean against the desk and watch as he checks the place out, "Who knew? You have a secret nerd"

I chuckle, "I've loved reading and writing ever since I was little, it's my safe place"

I clear my throat when he reaches a part of the shelf, "uh let's start okay?"

He turns away and walks towards me, I'm hit once again by how amazing he smells.

"Do we have to?" he whines.

I roll my eyes as I take a seat, "You're surrounded with books, the least you could do is honor them"

"That makes a lot of sense"

I smirk, opening the textbook, "I know"

"Why did you bring a car?" I ask Cole when I walk him out.

"I'm going grocery shopping for my mom, I can't really carry all that on a motorcycle, can I?"

I frown, "Grocery shopping?"

He nods, "You know, when you go out and buy food items and other things from a store?"

I roll my eyes, "I know what grocery shopping is, I was just... wondering"

He pauses, "Don't tell me you've never been grocery shopping before?"

I shrug, fiddling with the end of his hoodie, "Once or twice with my mom, a long time ago"

I've never had cause to, especially since we became rich, Marie takes care of all that.

"Do you want to come with me?"

I look up, "You want me to come with you?"

He nods, "I know you're different and all but you have to have some normal girl experiences"

I fold my arms and scowl, "I'm a normal girl"

He smirks, "If you say so" then he dangles the keys, "You coming? You can do some shopping that doesn't involve clothes"
