A/N: Okay, I REALLY haven't updated this one... sry bout that. I'll try to keep up with my stories.. i'm so unorganized lol. Anyways... here ya go:
Kris got in her car after picking up the movie Untraceable. She figured that it was a pretty good pick. She and Junior could snuggle up since it was a thriller. She stopped by her trailer to drop off her overnight bag and change quickly. She decided, after much debate, to put on an old t-shirt and some light jeans.
She got back into her car and drove over to Junior's apartment. Within 5 minutes she was there, standing in front of his door, movie in hand. She stood still for a moment, clearing her head and promising herself to relax. She reached her hand up and lightly knocked on the door. She heard footsteps reach the door and could feel Junior's presence on the other side.
"Hey," he said to her as he opened the door to let her in. She walked in to find that there was a blue bowl, full of freshly-popped popcorn, sitting in the middle of the now cleared off coffee table in the living room. She also saw that there were two tall glasses on the counter and two bottles of soda.
Junior leaned in and kissed her before going over to the counter and pouring their sodas. "I'll put the movie in," Kris told him as she walked into the living room and opened the door to the cabinet that held the DVD player. She popped it in and pressed play. She then grabbed the remote and hit "Main Menu."
Just then, Junior came over with their glasses of dark, fizzy liquid. Kris took hers from his hand and set it on the table in front of her. Junior did the same and sat down on the sofa. Kris half-lay down, half sat up and leaned into Junior's side, snuggling into him as he hit "play" on the remote control. The previews came on and they settled in for the afternoon.
Kris buried her head deep into his chest every now and then when a scary part came on, and he would rub his hand up and down her arm. When it was reaching the end, and Diane Lane's character looked as if she were about to die, Kris gasped and Junior stopped the movie, not wanting to scare her anymore. Neither one of the two ever found out the ending to that movie, either.
"Hey, wanna have some dinner? I think I have some mac 'n' cheese in the freezer. I can heat it up, if you want," Junior told her as she nestled her head deeper into his warm arm.
"Mhmm," Kris replied, her voice muffled by his sleeve. She lifted her head and gave him a kiss before getting up and going to the bathroom.
Junior took the macaroni out of the freezer and read the instructions. He started to boil the water on his stove and opened the box. He got out milk and butter. He then heard Kris shuffling back into the kitchen. While he waited for the water to boil, Junior got out two new sodas, since theirs had been drunk during the length of the movie. He poured one in a glass for Kris and handed it to her, getting thanked with a smile.
Half an hour later, the dinner was done and Junior dished it out into bowls. It was six o'clock now and they had perfect timing. They could carry on the tradition that no one knew about. Junior turned on the TV and flipped the channels until he got the CW, which was showing "Everybody Loves Raymond."
"Junior! I can't believe you remembered," Kris told him as she hugged him briefly before grabbing her bowl and sitting down to settle in and watch the sitcom.
"Of course I remembered. How could I forget?" Junior told her as he sat down next to her, and held he against him.
They both settled in, contentedly munching on their mac 'n' cheese and laughing whenever a particularly funny part came on. At 8, after they had watched the two-hour block of the show, Junior felt Kris' chest moving up and down in a pretty steady rhythm. He realized she'd fallen asleep. He took the still half-full bowl out of her hands and set it on the table, along with his empty one.
He gently picked her up and kissed her forehead, carrying her like a precious jewel into the bedroom, vowing not to wake her. He held her in one strong, muscle-y arm and pulled the covers back, folding them. He tucked her under them and brought the sheet and comforter up to her shoulders. He then went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and go to the bathroom. He came out and took off his clothes, leaving only his boxers on his body. He crawled under the covers with Kris and fell asleep, dreaming of an "Everybody Loves Raymond" lifestyle with Kris.
