We head over to Josh's parent's house for dinner with little or no excitement. The swimming must have wiped us out because all we want to do is sleep. Yet, we open the front door and see Josh's parents, brother, and the sister we finally get to meet eating pizza. "Free food" I whisper to Jess as we move toward them.
Kim runs over to us and hugs us all. "Oh, the crazy 4 I've heard so much about." She looks at me and seizes me up and down. I raise my eyebrow with question but Josh jumps in "Yes, Kim this is Jenn. Nice to see you too. Where's that nephew of mine?" I knew Josh mentioned he had a nephew but I never knew much about him. "Oh, he's past out in mom's room. Leave him be. He'll be a little hellion in the morning for you" she says.
We all grab a slice of pizza and pull up a seat. Ben is heading up stairs but I shout to him "Good Night, Ben!" He briefly turns and smiles at me. "I love that my brother likes you" Josh whispers. "Well he means a lot to you so he means a lot of me."
We don't stay very long after we inhale our pizza. Kim says they're staying here considering their kid was sleeping in her parent's room. We offer to help clean up but Diana waved us off since it was pizza boxes and paper plates.
The four of us drive back to Kim's and get ready for bed. I actually wash my face, take out my contacts, and throw my hair up in a messy bun. It was strange and normal at the same time as Josh and I brushed our teeth next to each other. But during the process I subconsciously kept my spit to a minimum not wanting him to think if I was gross at brushing my teeth. He held my hand and led me to the bedroom where Jess and James were already snuggled up and buried underneath mounds of covers. We climbed into our bed and naturally we fell into place. I started to think about how Josh previously said that he just wants to sleep with me next to him considering he can't sleep anymore. The truth is he is absolutely right. Every time I fell asleep in his arms it was so much better. I fall asleep with Josh running his fingers through my hair and me holding tight to his tee shirt. I kept breathing him in deeply smelling of mint and clean soap.
