All I know is that John Mcclain was kicking some major ass, I mean he always does. The next thing I remember is my mom coming and turning off the tv, "Jake it is time for dinner."
"BUT MOM"
"Jake, dinner, now, you have this movie I know you do."
"Fine."
I went and moved from the couch to the dinner table. My mom was right behind me and took a seat next to Amy. Dinner looked great, and edible. I love my moms cooking. Tonight ham, mashed potatoes, and corn. I was on the other side. My mom was giving me a look like I did something wrong.
"Jake when are you going to grow up. You are 35 and do the same things you did when you were 12."
"I have to grown up. I have a job, I don't live at home, I can kind of cook. I have a girlfriend. I have a car. What more do want from me?"
"Not eat so much candy, get married soon, have-"
"She means have a place that you have bought," Amy chimed in. She seemed really nervous.
"Yes thats it, its just something that you should start looking into."
"I mean I guess. I mean we could start looking. But shouldn't I think about getting better before we really do stuff like that."
"I mean that is important. But you do have a phone and a computer you can do research."
"I'll get it done tomorrow. Can we please eat?"
The rest of dinner was quiet except for everyones chewing. I am a grown up but I do not like all the grown up stuff. I do what I have to, I mean I can be serious at work I have to be, if I was not at least part of the time Holt would hand me my ass no a platter. Also that is what Amy helps with she is the serious and I am goofy.
"Mom Amy dinner was great, but I am going to go back to watching Die Hard."
"You have been watching that movie all day, isn't it almost over," said Amy as she was standing up and starting to clear the table.
"Yeah but let me finish."
She rolled her eyes she just does not get how great these movies are. I sat and finished the movie it was like ten minutes.
"There I am done."
My mom and Amy were doing dishes. They were having weird conversations about baby names and marriage. So they did not hear I was done with my movie. I walked to the bedroom got undressed wrapped my arm in a plastic bag to make sure my cast did not get wet, and hopped in the shower.
I washed everything with my bubblegum smelling soap and sang my gangsta rap got out and dried off. I put on my Snoopy boxers and went into the bedroom. Amy was sitting on the bed looking out the window.
"Your mom left Jake. She told me to say goodnight and she will call you tomorrow."
"Ok. Did you have a good conversation while doing dishes."
She seemed surprised, "Yeah it was great. It was nice to talk to her. We need to see her more."
"Yeah, I mean it was nice of her to cook dinner for us to tonight."
"Yeah, did she make you mad by telling childhood stories then telling you to grow up?"
"It just feels like you guys gang up on me. It drives me crazy."
"Jake you know I love you and so does your mother."
"I know. But the next time she comes around, can you lay off of me. at least some."
"I will try Jake I cannot make any promises about your mom though."
"Here is your medicine." She handed me my pills. I swallowed them and laid down.
"Amy I want to marry you."
Then darknessā¦.
