While the two create a bond over time or will...
So I thought my chapter had updated last night however it didn't publish :(. Sorry for the wait guys ———————————————————————— Eve holds her face and stares at the table with her eyes wide with horror. "Shit shit shit shit shit" Eve whispers "So what is it about Jim that appeals you?" Martin suddenly asks leaning over to her. "He's......manly?" Eve says with a raised eyebrow looking to see if they've fell for it. "I mean everyone's different aren't they Jackie?" Martin asks "Yeah." Jackie simply replies as she looks as if she's having Vietnam flashbacks at the thought of Eve and Jim getting together.
Martin looks at Eve and mouths. 'Your an idiot' Eve rolls her eyes in defeat when the doorbell suddenly rings. "Oh looks like he beat me to it!" Johnny announces as he pulls the door open to reveal jim standing their with Wilson. "Hello john..." Jim starts "Dating Eve are we?" Johnny snaps in a protective angry tone. "I.... ah" Jim stutters with wide confusing eyes.
"Jimmy-boo!" Eve yelps as she runs down the hall and wrapping her arms around jim who buckles his knees his eyes wide with shock as his body freezes. "Jimmy-boo!" Johnny repeats with wide eyes and confusion as his face completely drops. Adam , Val , Martin and Jackie watch from the back as yet again Eve mentally curses herself. "I've missed you so much I can't wait for our date!" Eve blurts out "d-date!" Jim blurts out as a smile stretches on his lips and suddenly she feels very bad. "Oh how exciting!" He blurts out as Johnny and Eve both watch him with wide eyes.
"I must put on my finest clothing." Jim announces as he leans down to grab Wilson's Collar but dramatically flinches. "Come on Wilson" he says awkwardly dragging him away as Johnny awkwardly closes the door. Eve rolls her eyes and walks away from Johnny. "Eve" Johnny starts She bites her bottom lip in annoyance. "Eve don't walk away from me!" Johnny snaps as he suddenly runs in front of her blocking her exit. "Why the hell are you dating him?" Johnny asks "You worry about your date and I'll worry about mine." Eve sternly replies "Wait a minute. Are you jealous?" Johnny suddenly asks with an amused smirk on his lips "Jealous!!" Eve blurts out infuriated Johnny nods his head and folds his arms "Yeah! Your jealous!" He says with that smile still stretched on his lips. "You are so annoying!" Eve snaps as blood fills her cheeks again.
Adam stands alongside Johnny as they watch as Eve heads back inside. Adam and Johnny give each other a look as Johnny suddenly pushes Adam over. "Boys stop it!" Eve sits down in the living room as Val suddenly sits beside her. "You like Johnny don't you?" She suddenly says "What?" Eve gasps in denial "Oh come on Eve I can see it all over your face!" Val announces as she pinches Eve's red cheeks "What am I going to do about jim Val? Eve asks "Just tell him to piss off" Val says "But he seemed so happy I don't have the heart to do it" Eve sighs feeling like the worst person on the planet." She sighs "Don't worry about it love." Val says rubbing her back when the door suddenly rings. "I'll get it!" Adam announces as he pulls the door open to reveal Jim standing in a yellow suit. "Hi Jim." Adam replies "Hello Johnny" Jim replies "Adam!" Adam corrects him Jim pauses opening his mouth slightly clearly confused. "Mum!" Adam calls out as Jackie peers around the door "Oh hi Jim." She says "Hello Jackie. You look niceee" he responds "Why don't you come in?" Jackie asks "Thank you , Shalom." He replies "Let's get everything settled for crimble crumble." Jackie says preparing to bombard jim with many questions. As everyone heads into the living room to begin the interrogation. "Shalom" Adam says in a mocking "Yes Shalom." Johnny replies still throwing jim shady looks. As he enters the home. "Jim!" Eve whispers as he swivels his head in her direction without really moving his neck. "Hello Eve." He responds as she peers around the kitchen door. "I need you to pretend that we are on a date." " a date. Why?" "I'll explain later but it's very important." "You know I've been on a date once. Her name was Jackiee." "The one who hated Jews?" I ask "Yess" he replies as his eyes widen remembering the woman with the awful laugh. "Can you do that for me?" Eve asks "Yes oh yes Eve." he responds "won't we wil" he begins but hesitates as he flinches while trying to pet Wilson. "Son..." "Thanks jim your the best." Eve says with a smile.
In the living room it's an awkward silence as Jackie and Johnny throw jim a Death Stare from across the room. "So un how did this happen?" Jackie asks them As Adam desperately tries to hold back his laughter. "Well jim let me pet Wilson one day and I realised he was um....nice." Eve awkwardly replies "Brilliant" Adam whispers "How lovely" Martin sighs The whole night is an awkward silence as jim attempts to flirt with Jackie and eat crimble crumble. Adam annoys Eve about jim and Johnny protectively looks out for Eve and squares up to jim now and again. Nellie begs Jackie for sherry and ends up stealing the bottle. Larry and Val argued four times. Johnny locked Adam outside twice and Jackie scowled Martin for taking his top off while quests were in as he declared he was "bloody boiling"
"Thanks for doing this jim." Eve says as she plants a kiss upon Jim's cheek causing Jim's eyes to widen like saucers and blood to fill his cheeks "My please Eve." He simply replies while quietly leaving the home with Wilson.
Eve closes the door and swivels around to face Johnny. "You lied about dating jim didn't you?" He asks with folded arms "Would it Make you feel better if I told you that I did?" She questions as a relieved smile stretches upon his lips "Oh yeah." As they both head into the kitchen. His phone suddenly beeps while Eve grabs the whipped cream in her mouth. "I Can't believe this." Johnny sighs from the kitchen. "What's wrong?" Eve asks "Lola cancelled our date." He sighs Eve no longer feels jealous but sad for Johnny as she sighs sitting beside him. "I'm sorry Johnny." Eve says as he suddenly tans a bottle of wine. "Drink?" He offers "why not?" She replies taking a drink from the bottle
"You know last Friday was a lot of fun." He admits "You mean the prom?" Eve asks "Yeah that was a great night. I enjoyed it" he says "Yeah me too." Eve replies as Johnny locks eyes with her. His face softens as his brown orbs flicker from her eyes down to her lips. Both naturally lean forward as their lips briefly graze against each other's.
"Come on everyone!! The fireworks are about to begin!" Jackie announces as everyone appears inside the kitchen Johnny and Eve quickly snap forward as Adam glances between the too. "What's happening?" Nellie suddenly asks "we're going to see the fireworks mum" Jackie announces as everyone suddenly stands outside.
