It was now 7:00 pm and I was at the apartment. John was getting something from his friends house. I decided I wanted to make dinner, so Im making a pizzas for me and John. Im waiting untill he comes back to make it. I thought it would be a fun thing to do together. I got out the dough I bought and got two pans to the pizzas on. As I preheated the oven, my phone rang. It was maria. I picked it up and said "Hey Ria. Whats up?"
I winced at her scream "IGADWACG! Ahh!"
"what? Whats wrong!" I got worried at her screaming.
"I GOT A DATE WITH A CUTE GUY!" She squealed excitely.
"okay, and?"
"I want you and John to come Silly!"
"uh, no Ria. I dont think its a very good idea."
"Trace! Please please please!" She whined like a child
"no Ria."
"you're going. No if ands or buts. See you tomorrow night!" Befor i could say anything, she hung up. Realising i wasn't going to get of it, I sighed and continued getting stuff pur of the fridge to put on the pizza. Soon, I heard the front door open. Then, in came John. He walked into the kitchen with a bag full of clothes. He put them down on the florr and walked over to me. He wrapped his arms around me as I continued organizing the pizza toppings.
"whatcha doing?" He asked while kissing my cheek and looking over my shoulder.
"getting out stuff to make pizza with. We're making pizzas for dinner. Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah, its fine. As long as you're here, I dont care what we're doing."
"Okay, lets get started then!"
We made our pizzas and put them in the oven. John's pizza had sause, cheese. Onions, sausage, peperoni, olives, mishrooms and peppers on it. Damn, he ate like a man. Mine only had cheese and sause on it. I felt kind of boring. We ate them and cuddled on the couch. By the time that happened, it was 8:30 pm. We were watching Finding Nemo. I always loved disney movies, they were like my weakness. John always thought my soft spot for them was funny.
As we watched, he said "so wheres all your Christmas decorations? Your apartment is bare."
I shrugged and said "never really got a chance to get them. I have to get a tree, but I've been so busy with work."
He shut off the tv and stood up. He got his coat and said "then lets go get them, it'll be fun."
"You sure? We can always get them tomorrow"
He pulled me up from the couch and held me in his arms. "yeah, Its a great thing to do as a couple."
"okay, ill get my keys and jacket and we can leave.." As I turned to walk, John grabbed my arm and twisted me around.
He smiled and held up the keys to his mustang and jiggled them. He said "Ill drive, I got my baby back." I smiled and got my jacket. I slipped it on and walked down to the lobby with John. I walked over to Tim and asked if I had any mail, since I disnt come down since yesterday. He shook his head and I walked away to John. Once his car pulled up, he took my hand and walked me to the car. I got in and so did he. We drove off to the Christmas tree shop. Once we arrived, we saw the tree we wanted and got it cut down.
"how are we going to get this home?" I asked while goldinf Johns hand, watching the tree get cut down.
"I talked to the guy earlier, he said he'll follow us home with his truck. He's gonna put it in the trunk of his car." He kissed the top of my head as I rested it on his shoulder.
"okay, lets get going then." We got in and the truck followed us. We for home, and the guy put the tree in my apartment. Soon, I got out the ornaments and other decorations. I turned on Christmas music, and got out two wine glasses. I poured red wine in them, and brought them out to John. I handed one to him and drank mine.
"so, ready to decorate!" He was excited to decrate the tree.
"yeah, you can start." I sat down on the couch and folded one leg over the other.
"Okay!" He took out ornaments and started placing them on the tree.
I laughed at his childness. I took another sip of my wine and placed it on the coffee table. I said "so, tomorrow night we're going to dinner with Maria and her guy friend"
"guy friend?" he laughed and took out some snowflake ornaments.
"yeah, and we're going out to dinner with them."
"okay, as long as I get cake." He came over and picked me up. He sat me on his lap as he sat on the couch and took a sip of his wine.
"Oh, but I dont think you deserve it. I mean, look at you slacking on the couch when you should be decorating." I kissed his cheek.
"oh really, I haven't seen you put a damn thing on that tree!" He tickled me where im tickish, which is my sides. He always knew where I was tickilish.
I laughed and laughed that tears came out of my eyes. In between laughs, I managed to say "John, s-stop, tick-ticking me! Hahah!"
He laughed and stopped. When I hit him in the shoulder, he pinned me to the couch with me arms above my head. He chuckled when I said "What the hell are you looking at!" His lips crashed on to mine and we made out in the same position for a minute or two. This kiss reminded me of the one we had back in highschool. Soon, Maria barged into the apartment without knocking. She walked into where we were and stopped in place When she saw us. Me and John laughed when we saw her face. It was priceless. shen said "did I interupt something?"
"no Ria, but you know I have a doorbell right?" I sais while John got off of me. He pulled me up and I fkattened my now wrinkled shirt.
"sorry, I've gotton used to just walking in. I guess I have start knocking because of your baby daddy like to get it on. Wink wink." She exaggerated her wink. My face went red when John laughed, showing his dimples.
"Ria, shutu-"
Maria cut me off when she said "John, did I tell you about when I walked into Tracey and this guy having sex? What was his name, Todd I think it was? Anyway, it was New years and I had to get my bag and I walked into her and this guy in her be-"
I pulled her up and said "Maria, I think its time you go!" I walked her to the door and pushed her out. I slammed the door and locked it. I walked into the living room, seeing John put his hands in his pockets barely looking at me.
"you were with another guy while I was gone..." He said quietly. I could hear the hurt in his voice.
I hated those words, I just wanted to punch Maria in the face right now. It was nothing like that! I was drunk, I didn't know what I was doing. I hated myself right now.
"No, I wasn't with him. I was drunk, and I found myself in bed with him." I said while walking over to him. I knew he was mad.
"Thats what Randy said when he cheated, and you said 'you might be drunk, but your brain still works.' He looked at me dissapointed.
"I know I was wrong, im sorry. I just thought I should try dating, I didnt know if you were coming back."
He looked at me and wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him back while he said "I wasn't just going to leave you herethinking I was coming back. I promised you I was coming back."
I looked at him and said "I love you"
he kissed me and I said "I love you too."
