ON WITH LE STORY!
Mitch's POV
"Wow! There here a little early as well. Good thing I came early."
"Yes, where would I be without you Mitch?" she said jokingly.
"Ha ha. I'd like to see you lift all the heavy boxes."
"Wanna make a bet?" she asked. She is so serious about this. No way she can lift it though :D
"Why not? And if you lose, hmmm what should you have to do?" I couldn't think of anything at the moment.
"While you think of that, if I win, you have to do all the work for me." She said defiantly. Wow she is confident in her strength.
"If I win you have to cook dinner for me." Wow Mitch, that's the best you got?! Oh well it'll be a free dinner for me :D
"Your on!" she said as she went to start getting the smaller boxes.
"I take it were leaving the big boxes for last?"
"Of course, then we'll be equally tired."
"Ha ha okay then." I said as I went to start getting boxes.
~Time Lapse to when all the small boxes are in the U-Haul truck~
"Well Lex, looks like its just us and the big boxes. Lets see, there are two equal sized ones and one huge one. One equal size one each, then we see who can move the big box."
"Works for me.." she said. She's getting tired. I can see it in her eyes. Gosh those eyes are gorgeous.
We both easily moved the smaller boxes, which shocked me, considering how tired she looked. She just doesn't quit does she?
"You want to try first?" I said pointing at the large box.
"Um-yea." She said, catching her breath.
"You sure you want to go on with this bet? You look exhausted."
"Im sure." She said, the light beginning to build up in her eyes again. At least she has her second wind.
She marched over and bent to grab the box. She got it maybe an inch off the ground before having to put it back.
"Well…lets see if you can lift it. I obviously cant, so were either both screwed or im cooking you dinner."
"Looks like im getting free dinner than!" I said with excitement.
I bent and picked up the box. I got it a couple inches off the ground, but still managed to get it out of the door, and into the U-Haul Truck.
"So what are you cooking?" I said, as I had just put the box in the back of the truck.
"That depends. What do you want?" What do I want? All I want is you. Okay but seriously I get to choose?! YAYYYY
"Hmmm, what are you best at cooking?"
"That would be either smothered pork chops or fettuccini alfredo. Your choice."
"Smothered pork chops all the way! I love me some meat."
"Ha ha okay."
~Time Lapse till apartment is set up~
Lexys's POV (Time for this, Mitch has been the star for to long in this chapter :D )
We had just finished setting up my apartment. Turns out it was right across the hall from Mitch. AWESOMENESS. He had apartment 135 and I had 136. ACROSS THE HALL BUDDIES. Well more than buddies :D
"Uhg im exhausted. I still gotta make you dinner though. Good thing I went shopping early yesterday, I just kinda took that food…"
"Nice! Okay get working peasant." He said jokingly.
"At your service, my king." I said, playing along.
"Ha ha aren't you cool."
"Okay im gonna start cooking now or else its gonna be like 8 o'clock before we eat."
~Time Lapse till Alex is done cooking~
"Dinner is served!" I said as I placed a plate with 2 smothered pork chops, mashed potatoes, and green beans like my grandma used to make in front of him. His eyes lit up.
"No way you cooked this. Come on where's the tv dinner box?"
"No tv dinner box. My mom taught me all her recipes, you know before she passed away." NO NO NO I WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO TELL HIM MOM DIED! GOSH NOW HE IS GONNA ASK WHAT HAPPENED!
"I didn't know your mom died. I thought you said she was working in Germany."
"Um, this wasn't supposed to come up. Its just, whenever I cook, I feel like she is still with me. Its like I can still see me with her when I was little. Me on a stool, and her showing me how to make all her recipes. This one was my favorite. I had to learn it from her. I haven't made it since she died."
"Oh. This might be touching a bad note, but how did she die?"
"Long story…" I said, trying to get off the subject, but clearly seeing it was not gonna work.
"I got time. Its only 7 o'clock."
(GET READY FOR AN UBER SAD BACK STORY. NO THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO ME IN REAL LIFE I JUST WANT TO LET THEM TO GET CLOSER WITH THIS SECRET OUT)
"Well, it was about 5 years ago. Momma was diagnosed with cancer. She was given 2 weeks to live. It was serious. She fought it though. I got to spend an extra year with her before the cancer took her. I still sometimes cant believe she is gone. Ever since then, my dad has never been the same. Me and him used to be closer than me and my mom. Now its like he is my younger sister, who I never really got close to. Now he has a girlfriend, Sam. She is a piece of trash. She is just dating my dad for his money. If you saw her without him, and it was just me and Chris(short for Christina like Alex is short for Alexandra) , my younger sister, she is awful. She always cussed us out, especially Chris. When this first happened, Chris was only 7. We have like a 7-8 year difference between us. Even though we weren't that close, I couldn't stand seeing Chris's face when those words came out of Sam's mouth. Im kind of distant from my family now. I never really tried after mom died."
"Lex, I had no idea. You didn't have to tell me if it made you uncomfortable."
"Its okay. Really. I just hope I did her cooking justice with what I made you."
"Well lets see if I approve. You never know if you've made good food until IVE said it was good."
"Ha ha okay then. What do you think" I said as he shoved a big hunk of porkchop, followed by the mashed potatoes and green beans.
"ErYummerj" he said with his mouth full.
"Come again? No comprendo me amigo. You finish chewing while I put on some music. I think my dad packed my cd's." Luckily he did. I was a big country music fanatic (DON'T JUDGE IM CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH THESE SONGS SO I HAD TO PUT IT IN HERE because Alex is an OC me)
"Well I said it was yummy. Tastes exactly like something my mom would make, but better. You are an amazing cook by the way. Wait-is this country music?" I could tell he didn't expect it. "I never would've pin-pointed you as a country girl.
"Well I used to live in Tennessee (I don't live there btw just a countryish state to me) then I moved to Illinois so my mom could say goodbye to her siblings."
Just as I finished saying that, my favorite song came on. Angel Eyes by Love and Theft (I DON'T OWN ANYTHING CONCERNING MUSIC)
Mitch's POV
Just as Alex finished talking, a song came on. It talked about a girl with Angel Eyes. This is your song Lexy. You have those angel eyes. Most people consider blue eyes to be the best, but in this case, her green eyes were so much better than blue eyes.
"You know Lex, this song describes you perfectly." I said as she blushed.
"Really? You like my eyes? I've always hated them. I couldn't stand the orange line in them. I was always like, why me, why the orange line?!"
"Well you cant say that anymore because I say that they are beautiful."
"Well aren't you sweet." She said. THANK THE LORD! She is mine.
While saying these things, we had finished dinner. It was only 8:05 now.
"Wanna watch a movie?" I blurted out.
"Well, I never really collected movies of my own. There all back…at my dad's place."
"Its cool I have a ton of movies. Ill go get some."
Soon enough I was back and we were watching an old comedy movie about Twilight. It was called Vampires Suck (I DON'T OWN THIS EITHER). I really don't know why I had it. Anyways, she couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't either.
Jerome's POV
Ever since last night, I felt kinda bad. I don't know why but I did. I decided I was gonna hang out with Mitch. It wasn't Friday so I wasn't worried about Lex bein there. I grabbed my keys and headed out the door.
When I got to Mitch's apartment, he didn't answer the door. However, I heard his laugh. It came from across the hall. Weird. I thought that one was for sale. Mustve sold. I went and knocked at the door. No answer, but it was unlocked. I just decided to walk in. (Idiot move right?) Sure enough, Mitch was there, and with…Alex. They were sitting on the couch watching Vampires Suck. They were in the classic couple position. Her, resting on his shoulder, Him, his arm around her, holding her close.
"Hey, sorry for barging in, but I heard Mitch's laugh. I was wondering who moved in here that Mitch would be hanging out with."
"My dad kicked me out, and he bought me this apartment. He has 2 years already paid for. He said that he would have that set and paid for until I got a job and was halfway through college."
"Oh…well welcome to the neighborhood I guess…"
Yay long chapters! Sorry if you don't like long ones, but I didn't want to keep writing really short ones, plus I was feeling really creative.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED! And if you did…slap dat follow button with your forehead…xoxoxBajanCanadianxoxox
