This one's pretty much a filler so it's pretty short. Sorry though!
Jessie's POV
The ding of the microwave jolted me from my thoughts and dragged me away from the mirror. Luckily there wasn't much so it was gone in only a few large bites. The flavor flooded my mouth and I loved every bit of it. Stir-fry is good even as leftovers. As the flavor started to melt away I walked back into the living room and set my mind on the day ahead of me. Butchers shop first, then fresh market. I slipped past James as I grabbed for my wallet and phone, which sat on my dresser, and so many things ran through my head being so close to him. I finally settled on one sentence and took a deep breath before speaking. "Well" I started before I turned and met his bright blue eyes. I almost froze, but I pressed on. "Want to tag along?" I said with a slight laugh. His face lit up at the question and I swear he nearly hopped with happiness. "Yeah! Just let me go get my wallet" he said before he bounded out my front door. I giggled for the first time in a long time before I followed him out the door. I watched him run back to Luke's house as I headed to the front gate. I figured I'd meet him there and we'd take the long way to town as it passes the butchers shop.
James POV
When she asked that question I swear my heart fluttered a little, and I don't know why. It wasn't like she was asking me to kiss her or something; she just wanted to know if I want to go into town with her. But I couldn't help but get excited at the thought of being alone with her. "Just let me get my wallet" I said before I headed out the door and down the walkway leading back to Luke's house. As I neared the house I slowed down and hid my smile. If I wanted this to be just me and Jessie then I'd need to hide that fact from Matt and the others. As soon as I stepped through the door I was bombarded with the sound of drums and as I got further in I saw that Ben was pounding away at a drum set in the corner as Matt jumped around like an idiot. I laughed as I skirted past them and quickly grabbed my wallet out of my bag. Nobody even noticed me until I was nearly back at the door, but I was stopped by Dino, our guitarist, just before my hand touched the door. "Hey man, where are you off to?" he asked over the boom of the drums. "I'm just going to run down to town and grab some stuff" I quickly replied, hoping I could get out before Matt noticed me. "Well I need some stuff too. Mind if I tag along?" he asked over another loud boom of the drums. Every word of profanity was running through my mind at that very moment. How am I going to get out of this? Just as those words floated through my mind I heard Luke call out for Dino from behind me. "Hey Dino, we need to get your guitar hooked up for recording" He said to my relief. "Get your butt over here man!" he added with a laugh. Dino just gave a slight shrug of the shoulders before he patted me on the arm and walked away. I took that as my signal to leave and popped out the door. I saw Jessie waiting by the front gate for me and she gave me and bright smile and a small wave when she saw me coming. The sun was shining, my band was recording, and I was walking along with a beautiful girl. Nothing could ruin my day.
