Summary: The things Robbie and Laura get up to while shopping and after…
"Right, so we've got all the fruit and veg?" asked Robbie as he continued pushing the trolley around the supermarket, following Laura while she read out the seemingly never ending list.
"Yes, and we're done with this aisle too, we've enough meat in there to feed all the lions at London zoo" replied Laura pointing at the trolley but her eyes remaining on the sheet of paper in her hand "next is Dairy"
Stopping at the milk Robbie froze as he looked at all the different brands staring back at him. Usually he would have grabbed the first one he saw but now that he was with Laura he had to try to remember the particular brand she liked and that was not an easy task. And it wasn't just milk, it was cereal, bread, tea and so on, he didn't mind though, it was nice shopping for someone other than him and Monty. That thought reminded him, cat food.
"Laura, add cat food to that list of yours" he said as he placed the correct carton of milk in the trolley.
"Already on it" she looked up and smiled at him
They strolled through the shop, placing items in the trolley as they walked from aisle to aisle in a mannerly state until they came to the biscuit section where Laura swore Robbie became a child again as each time she dragged him along with her to do the shopping he would scan the shelves until he found the custard creams, his custard creams, no one else got a look in when it came to him and his favourite biscuits. Buying them in bulk as he always did Laura couldn't help but smile while he dropped four, maybe five packets into the trolley on top of all the rest of the groceries.
"Gonna get any biscuits Laura?" Robbie asked before he started moving again with the trolley
"Are you saying you're not going to share?" she could see him trying to find a polite way of telling her to leave him and his snacks alone so she decided to ease his pain "I'll get some chocolate digestives" she winked as she grabbed a packet and chucked them into the trolley.
He'd lost her; he really didn't think it would be possible. Leaving him to go back to get eggs which they stupidity walked right past she told him not to move in case she'd lose him but now having stood in the same place for at least 20 minutes right beside the fish Robbie was getting worried. Surely she'd not have left him in the shop without any money or bags; he'd left the shopping bags at home and had held of from telling her that important fact just yet.
Finally she appeared with the eggs in hand and she was laughing at something.
She'd been speaking to someone.
"Sorry got delayed, met someone from work" she carefully moved the cornflakes and pasta to the side and gently put in the eggs in the free spot.
"I'd never have guessed" he joked and started moving again happy to be free from the stench of the fish.
As they approached the baking section Laura stopped Robbie "Any idea what that says?" she asked and showed him the second last word on the list.
"Wi… wire? Do we need wire?" he had no clue why they'd need wire "You did write the list, you should know" he smirked
"I know I should, but why would I write wire? We don't need any wir…" it suddenly dawned on her "its wine!"
Her cheeks turned crimson and the more Robbie laughed the quicker she walked, he stopped himself for fear of losing her again.
Robbie got his beer; Laura got her bottle of red and after getting a bag of Whiskas for the third member of the family they queued up for the checkout.
"Where are the bags Robbie?" Laura asked while she rifled through the shopping in the reasonably full trolley.
"Ahh, yes, I forgot them" he was in for it now.
She stood up straight, hands on hips and spoke slowly "You forgot them?"
He nodded and she exhaled
"Right its ok, we'll just have to buy some" she wasn't all that mad with him, she thought it was nice seeing him get a tad worried "I do despise buying more of something I have and fail to use" it was getting harder for her to stop herself from grinning as he got even more worried looking.
"I'll put the others in the boot when we get home" he said while he put a few bags that hung from a hook that was near the till into the trolley.
Laura walked over to beside him and kissed his cheek "smart idea"
He smiled and knew he was forgiven.
When they got to the till they began loading items onto the belt. Once the trolley was empty the packing commenced.
Laura noticed Robbie attempting to squish the pack of toilet rolls into a bag and thought she better speak "Don't put them into the bag, put them into the trolley".
He put them into the trolley as advised and looked up at Laura "As you wish master"
She giggled and then the checkout girl spoke.
"You two are so cute" she was a girl of not much more than around twenty with long wavy brunette hair tied up and with just enough makeup on that was appropriate for work.
Both Robbie and Laura were taken by surprise. When the girl spoke again the tension seemed to fade "Out doing the weekly shop?"
"Yes, it's our day off work so we thought we'd get it over and done with" Laura replied and packed the last of the shopping into the trolley.
"Best to get it done and then enjoy the rest of the day" she agreed
They paid for the shopping and went to the car. After putting the bags and toilet roll into the boot Robbie said he'd leave the trolley back.
"Don't forget to take the pound out this time" Laura teased
"That was a mistake and you know that!" he called back
She stifled a laugh and hopped into the passenger seat. Soon Robbie returned to the car and handed her the pound before starting the car and heading home.
The drive home was pleasant, they chatted about the friendly checkout girl and listened to the radio.
Robbie parked the car, boot facing the door and they got out and started unloading the bags.
Laura stumbled up to the door somehow managing a bag in one hand and two in the other "Robbie will you unlock the door please?"
"On my way" he carried the remaining bags up to the front door with him and placed them beside the wall while he unlocked the door and opened it for Laura
"Thank you" she said and walked past him and entered the kitchen.
Robbie ran back to the car and was about to shut the boot when he saw the toilet rolls. He rolled his eyes and snatched them before slamming down the boot. He put them under his arm and when he got to the door he lifted up the bags and once inside he shut the door behind him with his foot.
In the kitchen Laura had begun unpacking the shopping bags. She'd put the milk in the fridge, the bread in the breadbox and the apples into the fruit bowl. Robbie stopped and leaned against the doorframe just watching her, she'd not seen him observing her so she was still stretching up to reach the top shelves in the cupboards and bending down to the low presses. But when she reached up to put the teabags away she had stuck her foot out behind her to balance herself and her top had gone up slightly to reveal her waist and that's when Robbie dropped the bags and the toilet roll had fallen from under his arm.
He walked up to Laura and stood behind her, placing his hands on her stomach he spoke "The bags will be here later, lets go somewhere less cluttered" he leaned down and kissed her neck, sucking gently on her delicate skin he heard her moan.
She rested her hands on his "I have no objections" and with that Robbie lead her out of the kitchen and up the stairs to somewhere free from the clutter of shopping. The unpacking would just have to wait.
