Joe's POV

I yawned as Caspar searched for a movie to watch, honestly why didn't he just use Netflix?

Caspar put his arm around me, I stopped yawning and gave him a weird look, he ignored me.

"Aha! This one's a classic!" He exclaimed, after what seemed like 10 years.

I read the title and I immediately agreed, "The Nightmare Before Christmas? I love that one!"

"It's settled then."

We were watching the movie, Jack had just started to deliver presents, when Caspar suddenly grabbed the remote and shut it off.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked angrily.

"This movie's boring, let's do something!" He whines.

"It was your idea in the first place," I point out.

"It was a stupid idea, c'mon."

"The Nightmare Before Christmas is a masterpiece! How dare you!"

"Joe..."

"Well, if you've got a better idea, what do you want to do, oh so great one?"

His face broke out into a mischievous grin, "Let's go ice-skating!"

"Sure, when hell freezes over."

"Do you wanna go to the arcade?"

"No, it's cold and it's late, Caspar."

"London Eye?"

"You've got to be kidding."

"Swimming?"

"Do I look like Moriarty to you?"

"Do you wanna watch a movie?" He asks sheepishly.

"That's what we were just doing Caspar!" I yell.

"Fine jeez, calm down."

"You wear me out, seriously. Now what?"

"Do you wanna cook dinner?"

"Can we just order pizza?"

"Pizza?"

"Pizza," I wistfully agreed.

"Well I'll go call the parlor then."

"Yeah, you do that."

He stood up, phone in hand and started ordering from the top of his head. I turned my attention back to my phone, 1 new text message.

Tyler 👑:
is bringing a jar full of cheese puffs okay?

Me:
sure, knock yourself out

Tyler 👑:
I'm not gonna knock myself out with the jar of cheese puffs, Joe

I could feel the sass oozing through my screen.

Me:
It's an expression

Tyler 👑:
I know, just messin with ya! byE ;)

Me:
bye :)

So the others are bringing food, Zoe and Alfie have decoration and Caspar and I provide shelter. Well, sort of. I seriously can't wait.

Caspar came back, "They're on their way."

I nodded.

"Question," Caspar said suddenly.

"Shoot."

"What're we going to even do at the party tomorrow?"

"I don't know, watch a movie or something," I replied thoughtfully.

"Okay cool."

An awkward silence came over us.

Caspar clapped, "Well, I'm gonna go set the table."

He walked away.

"Use paper plates!" I called after him, "I don't wanna wash today!"

"Okay!" He yelled back.

The doorbell rang, wow that's fast service. I get up and walk towards the door. A girl with reddish-brown hair looks up when I open the door.

"Are you," She looks at the receipt, "Mr. Lee?"

"No, I'm his roommate, Joe."

"Oh, alright," She hands me the receipt and the pizza.

"That'll be £9."

"Uh, sure."

I go back inside and grab my wallet, I return and give her the money.

"Thank you sir, enjoy your pizza."

She leaves and I close the door.

"I got the pizza, Caspar!" I yell out.

He comes and yanks it from my hands, jumping up and down.

"Yay!" He yells.

I follow him back to the table and he sets it down and serves himself. I grab a slice and sit down. We eat in silence.

I was about to reach for my second slice, but I decided against it. I'm way too full, but Caspar on the other hand, is on his 4th slice. He finishes up and pats his belly.

"Boy am I stuffed," He groans.

"Me too."

He scoffs, "You only ate like, one slice."

"Since when do you keep track of how much I eat? Are you stalking me Caspar?" I shot back.

"Touché," He says.

"Well I'm gonna put these away," I grab our plates and put them in the trash. I put the pizza in a container, saving the rest we didn't eat for another time. I walked out of the kitchen and was squeezed by Caspar.

"Thanks for the pizza Joe!" He yells in my ear as he continues to squeeze the life out of me.

"Caspar...I...can't..breathe," I squirm.

He lets me go and I cough a little. I go to the living room and he follows me.

"Do you wanna watch a movie?"

Not again.

"No!"

He shrunk back, looking scared at my outburst,"Okay!"

We glare at eachother and go on our phones.

Before we know it, it's 12:22 am.

"Caspar, I think I'm gonna go to bed," I say, getting up.

"Yeah, same."

I go upstairs to my room and change into my pajamas. I go to the bathroom to take a piss and brush my teeth. My eyelids droop the entire time. I finally finish, and I can't wait to sleep. I get into bed, feeling strangely lonely. I fall asleep, questioning tomorrow's party.
