"Josh?" Her roommate had been taking a shower for a half hour now. "Aidan wanted me to tell you that he would like to take a hot shower, because he actually has to go to work today." Josh had locked the door, and although Aidan could have easily broke it down, they both agreed that adding a broken door to their agenda was not a good thing.
There was no movement behind the shower curtain. "JOSH!" There was still no movement behind the show curtain, and Sally was starting to get freaked out. "Josh?" She moved very slowly towards the shower, and pulled the curtain back slowly.
"I GOT YOU!" Josh jumped out and scared Sally making her vanish, she reappeared and flung a toothbrush at him. He just stood there and laughed at his roommates embarrassment
"That was so not funny." Sally vanished once more, to where Aiden was standing, laughing at her expense. "You were in on this too, weren't you?" Aidan just smiled mischievously and continued to laugh.
"I took a shower last night, or did you forget that?" Aidan continued to laugh, taking in the enjoyment of the moment. "We have been planning this for a couple of days now." They both turned around at the sound of Josh laughing.
"Let's just say, we are kind of sick of you popping in with out a warning." Josh sat down next to his roommates on the couch, and shook his wet hair splashing water everywhere
"Josh, I hate it when you do that." Aidan looked mad at Josh, because he hated the smell of wet dog. Josh shook his head one more time, splashing more water on Aidan, and laughed. Aidan lunged at Josh and the two were wrestling on the floor.
"Wow guys, way to be mature." Sally rolled her eyes, but she had a smile on her face. She enjoyed these lighter times, and she loved how Aidan was like Josh's older brother some days. "You too have such a bromance going on" She had barely whispered that last part, but both of their inhuman hearing had picked it up, and they stopped wrestling and looked at her. They both jumped up and quickly separated. Josh walked into the kitchen and the two followed.
"So, what do I want for breakfast this morning?" His head was in the fridge searching for something, he pulled out some eggs and milk. He went over to the cupboard and took out six slices of bread, a bowl, a plate, cinnamon and some vanilla. "Well I guess I'm going to have some French toast this morning."
"Oh well enjoy your French toast." Aidan grabbed a mug and poured coffee into it. He sat down next to Sally at the table and just watched their roommate cook. It was oddly entertaining watching Josh cook, the way he would beat the eggs, and take forever to pour things into the bowl. The strange thing Aidan noted was when he took the cap off of the vanilla, he just stood there, and he seemed to be reminiscing about something. He made a mental note to ask him about that later. Josh was done about twenty minutes later and sat down at the table.
"Six slices that is a lot of French toast." Sally giggled and Josh just rolled his eyes and swallowed his food.
"Well with the whole… you know. I eat a lot more then the average guy. So it's a good thing you guys don't eat otherwise our grocery bill would be bigger then the rent." Josh continued to wolf down his French toast, and Sally had a disgusted look on her face. "So when do you have to go to work?"
"Now, actually." Aidan got up, put the mug in the ink, because he knew if he didn't Josh would yell at him later for it, and then Sally would yell at him for having to listen to Josh yell at Aidan. He grabbed the car keys and rushed out the door.
"Do you want to go on a walk or something?" Sally gave josh a wide eyed look full of hope.
"Yeah let me do the dishes first." Josh continued to do the dishes, and thought to himself what an enjoyable day he was having. He actually did want to go outside. Lately the only thing he did want to do was go outside.
…
Aidan was having a very boring day of work. It was one of those days where everyone thought it was best to give him all the paper work, and make him sit at a desk. Aidan was beginning to get very thirsty, and he knew he couldn't slip out, so he decided to call Josh for a distraction, but his phone rang instead.
"Hello?" The vampire did not recognize the number, so he was hoping he could at least recognize the voice.
"Oh hey Aidan, I was wondering if maybe you would like to go out to dinner, and maybe back to my place for a movie or something."
"Oh, yeah Morgan, that sounds great actually." Aidan, knew he shouldn't be going anywhere with an attractive women, after what happened last time, but Morgan was intoxicating and he had to know more about her. He silently decided not to tell his roommates of his date tonight
"Great, you can pick me up at 7:30, don't be late, and bring me some flowers or something."
With that she hung up. Morgan was different from most girls, and he was extremely attracted to women who could just take charge like that, and make the first move. He still knew he was in for a chase, but this way it wouldn't be so hard.
The rest of the day went by very quickly, and before he knew the clock read 5:30 and it was time for him to clock out and go home.
Aidan had to admit that it felt nice having something to do tonight. He cared about his roommates a lot, but it was starting to worry him that he found Josh cooking was a high form of entertainment for his Friday nights.
Aidan could sense something was wrong the moment he got inside the house. He walken in the living room and notices a pile full of broken light bulbs, and Josh was standing on a chair screwing in new ones.
"What happened?" Josh just cocked his heads towards the staircase where Sally was, crying. Aidan walked over there and sat down next to Sally. "What's wrong?" It took a while for the ghost to stop crying, but she did eventually.
"I was a Bridget's house, and she was on her couch crying." Aidan gave her a look to keep going. "Aidan, she had a black and blue eye. Danny hurt her." The ghost took a short pause to take a deep breath because she knew is she didn't Josh would be picking up more broken glass. "I'm scared for her." The vampire could feel all of her sadness, and anger in that one phrase. The ghost was mad at Danny for killing her, but she was angrier at him for hurting someone who was as nice as Bridget.
"Listen. I know you are mad at Danny, and you have every right, but, I think Bridget is a smart girl, and she can take care of herself." Aidan looked at Sally's eyes and she nodded.
"Yeah, Bridget is a smart girl, I'm sure she will be able to notice Danny's dark Side, before it is too late." Josh came up to Sally and gave her a sympathetic smile. The three sat there for about ten minutes, before their lives came back to them and they were reminded of things they had to do.
"Well, I would hate to ruin this little gathering, but I have somewhere to be." Aidan quickly raced up the stairs to get ready before his roommates had time to question it.
"Josh, could you please call her, or invite her over." The ghost was begging her roommate to do this, she was hoping that Aidan could help, but she realized that Aidan has done so much for her, that he deserves to have a night out. Josh however felt conflicted, he was never very good in awkward situations, more then once was he known to change ascents when he felt uncomfortable, and that was usually followed by him saying something stupid or tripping over nothing.
"Yeah, I'll invite her over to dinner, or something." Josh stood up and went to the kitchen, with Sally not so far behind.
"Can I tell you a secret?" Josh looked at Sally's wide grin on her face, and gave her a look that told her to go on. "I've imagined you ripping off Danny's face, or eating him." The ghost laughed, and sat down.
"So, you think of me then." Josh joined in on the laughing, and continued to pull out various pans and spices. Neither of then noticed, Aidan had rushed out the door, eager to go on his date.
Authors Note:
Okay, so I know this chapter is short, and I took forever to update, I just wanted to make sure that Aidan's date was perfect and that all of my upcoming character developments are tied in.
So I made a sort of lightish, fluffy-ish, chapter. I just really wanted to bring about the importance of the friendship between the three.
So what did you think of this weeks episode? I thought it was the best one yet.
Any suggestions for what Aidan should do with Morgan on their first "date" (by date I mean evil scheme to try and destroy the trio MUHAHAHAHA – sorry Morgan is so evil, that I had too.) Any ideas for movies (I was thinking a horror movie, you know blood and boobs, a vampire's favorite thing lol)?
Thanks for reviewing, and the following people are awesome:
