Accidentally Roommates

Chapter 29

Mayleen's POV:

"Ok so anything else?" Elizabeth said looking through the grocery list.

"No I think that's it." Charlie said. "Remember be back by 4 cos the turkey ain't gonna cook itself you know."

"Yeah, yeah." I said, opening the door.

"Bye." Elizabeth and I said at the same time, before closing the door.

"I can't believe this is my first Thanksgiving with friends." I said, all giggly.

"I can't believe Charlie is cooking the whole Thanksgiving dinner." She said. We both laughed.

"Hey we'll help ok. We are not completely useless. Plus I think Charlie said Brandon is helping." I shrugged.

"You mean the guy can cook?" Elizabeth said sounding unimpressed. I shrugged.

It took us hours to find all the ingredients. Plus we may have fooled around a bit. But we made it home before 4.

"Here are the ingredients." I said coming in with grocery bags.

"Here let me help." Brandon said taking the heavy groceries from my hand, and putting it on the table.

"Thanks Brandon." I said.

"No problem." He replied. Just then Elizabeth came in with heavy groceries, more heavier than mine. We can see she's having trouble carrying them. When Brandon saw, he went to offer help.

"Hey let me help you with that." Brandon said.

"No thanks, I can carry it myself." She said. It didn't sound mean, just flat. When she reached the table, she put the groceries down, and took a sit.

"Hey do you realize this table is too small." She asked, after a moment.

"Hey that's what I was about to ask." Brandon said, coming over to us. Elizabeth looked at me.

"Yes I know it's too small." I said rolling my eyes.

"That's why I told Brandon to bring an extra table." Charlie said coming out of the bathroom. He looked like he just took a shower.

"It's right there." He pointed to the table folded on the corner.

"Its bigger than this table." I said.

"I know." Brandon said.

"So what? We're using that table?" I asked.

"Yeah. And we can use your table to put the food on. You know extra space." Charlie said. I gasped. Everybody laughed.

"Ok cooking time. Come on Brandon." Charlie said gesturing him to the kitchen.

"Hey we want to help." I said, looking at Elizabeth. She nodded.

"Yeah come on. We can do something." Elizabeth agreed.

Charlie and Brandon looked at each other. Then at us. "Fine." They said at the same time.

"Yeah!" Elizabeth and I said.

We ended up an hour late finishing cooking everything. Because either me or Elizabeth messed up on something, or we were goofing around.

"See I told you the girls are going to be distractions." Brandon said to Charlie, but loudly on purpose so me and Elizabeth can hear. Elizabeth and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes.

"Hey you guys don't mind my boyfriend coming right?" Elizabeth asked us.

"Yeah sure." Charlie and I answered at the same time.
