When Jeff arrives at his apartment, he places the bouquet of roses in a nice vase and gets a quick shower to rid himself of the smell of alcohol.
Just as he gets out of the shower he hears a knock. He wraps the towel around his waist and hurries to the door.
"Oh, hey, Annie! You're early," Jeff says as he lets her in.
"I texted you, but you were in the shower I guess. One of your neighbors let me in," Annie explains.
Jeff jogs to the kitchen and grabs the vase. "These are for you, Milady."
"Aw! Jeff, they're so pretty. Thank you," Annie gushes before standing on her tiptoes to peck him on the lips.
He sees her eyes flicker to his still dripping wet chest. He smirks, "Like what you see?"
Annie blushes and swats his chest. Jeff catches her hand and kisses it. "Do you wanna get some Thai food delivered?"
"Yes, I'm starving!" Annie heads to the kitchen to put the roses down and flip through the delivery menus. "Thai Garden or Thai Hut? Thai Palace is pretty cheap, too."
"Thai Garden. They have the best Pad Thai," Jeff says on his way to his room. He changes into pajama pants and a tank top, then dries his hair and quickly styles it.
"Just ordered," Annie says from the doorway, "You have cash right?"
Jeff checks his wallet, "Five is enough of a tip, right?"
"It'll have to be enough. I'm gonna change real quick. I made sure to bring a dress like you said."
"Good, you'll need it for what we're doing tomorrow," Jeff teases on his way out.
Ten minutes later Annie comes out.
"It's about time," Jeff says dramatically.
"Oh hush. I wanted to get all cleaned up. Did you pick out a movie already?"
"Took out a few cheesy love movies and then some comedies. You can pick," Jeff gestures to the stack of DVDs on the coffee table.
"Or we could watch something on Netflix," Annie says after looking through the pile.
"Fine," Jeff turns on the TV to Netflix, "If there's nothing on here, we're watching Grandma's Boy."
"Ooo we can watch the To-Do List! Abed just told me that it's finally on Netflix. I only saw it once when it first came out," Annie takes the remote and searches for it.
"It came out in 2015, right?"
Annie nods, "Yeah, and Abed was able to get Troy a part in it since he worked on it. Wait, Jeff, did you not watch it?"
He shrugs, "I just didn't get around to it."
"It's been almost two years! You're ridiculous! Well, then it's final, we're watching it," Annie says decisively.
"It's been like a year and seven months, not two years. I'm sure it's good." Jeff motions for her to press play.
When their food comes fifteen minutes later, Jeff jumps up and runs to the door. "Thanks man," he says giving the delivery guy a decent tip before bringing the food back to the couch.
"Do you have a chart like that?" Jeff asks teasingly.
Annie blushes. "I do not, and her mix of colors is not for organizational purposes, it just looks messy."
Jeff laughs, "Of course you notice that."
"I mean I did think about making a list like that, but only in my head, not on paper. Abed would find it while snooping in my room." Annie acts nonchalant about it, but Jeff looks at her suspiciously.
"So...If I was to ask how many things on your list you've done, hypothetically, would you answer?" Jeff asks in between bites of food.
Annie shrugs, "There are still some things I need to cross off."
"Recommendations are Two Night Stand, 10 Years, and Parks and Recreation."
"Good show." Jeff picks at his fingernails. "That movie was pretty good. Troy was actually funny and didn't stare at the camera." Annie scoffs. "What? I expected Troy to not do well. I mean we saw how he was in Greendale's commercial. I can't believe he go to-" Annie raises an eyebrow. "work with Aubrey Plaza. She's great in Parks n Rec."
Annie laughs at him and pats his arm. "Yeah she seems cool. Troy would send pictures when he was on set, it looked fun," she says dreamily.
They sit on the couch for awhile longer, Annie curled up basically on Jeff's lap. When he feels her beginning to doze off, he lightly josses her shoulder. "C'mon, let's go to bed."
"Mmmkay." Annie tries to stand, but ends up back in Jeff's arms. "Whoops."
Jeff picks her up and carries her to bed, placing her under the covers. He lay awake thinking about tomorrow while Annie sleeps. "Love you. I love you. I love you, Annie Edison." The words feel foreign on his tongue, but he knows he means them. He rolls on his back and closes his eyes, forcing his thoughts to stop.
