Chapter 1

Blair's POV

I laughed as Gilbert tried yet another cheesy pick up line. Me and him were at Lamson's working. I was organizing the cans while Gilbert was sticking prices to the ones that didn't have any.

We heard someone come into the shop so I looked up and saw a woman with a food land bag in her hands.

"Can I help you with anything?" Mr Lamson asked.

"No" she replied awkwardly before exiting the store.

"Thank you and goodbye" I heard Arnie call out to the woman.

I looked over at Gilbert, who was already looking at me with a sly smile.

I give him a slight grin and say "have something to say mr Grape?".

He was about to speak until mr Lamson beat him to it.

"Gilbert" he called out to him.

Gilbert looked away from me to give mr Lamson his attention.

"Sir?" Gilbert questioned.

"Is something goin' on at Foodland?" He questioned.

"Well if there was he wouldn't know sir, he doesn't shop there"I replied for Guilbert who nodded in agreement.

"I'd rather die" he said with a slight smile.

Lamson nodded then looked over at me "you know anything Blair?"

I shook my head "I wouldn't know either sir, don't shop there either".

"She'd rather die" Gilbert repeated with a smile nudging my shoulder with his.

"I'll tell you two, Foodland's up to something if you ask me" he said.

"It's those lobsters, isn't it? Scads of lobsters all in a tank,Am I right?" Lamson questioned in a insecure tone.

"You know,you shouldn't worry about it" Gilbert told him.

"It's just a phase. People will come back here, believe me" Gilbert continued to give him comforting words.

"You think?" Lamson questioned, still doubtful.

"Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah" Gilbert told him assuringly.

I smiled at him "the wise words of Gilbert grape".

He chuckled at my comment.

"Yeah, The way you say that makes me think I'm talking to your father" Lamson says to him before leaving us to our work.

Gilbert stays silent, his face going blank.

I look at him sadly, his dad is still a sensitive topic to him.

I smile gently and nudge his shoulder with mine "now what were you about to tell me before Lamson interrupted?".

He smiled gently and cleared his throat before saying "you know, For some reason, I was feeling a little off today. But when you came along, you definitely turned me on" while putting a arm around my shoulders.

I giggled and pushed him away "perv".

He laughs as he starts to tickle me but I resist and put a finger on his chest.

"Back to work Gilbert, Lamson's not gonna like us slackin" I tell him before resuming my can organization.

He bites his lip and smiled, shaking his head as he continued doing his job, casually sneaking glances at me.

"Can I have these two?" Arnie asked Gilbert.
