Braids
Chapter 3
The Move In
Esther and Dib sat at the front counter, waiting for a customer to walk through the door. "We've been sitting here for hours," Esther complained. "Is it always this slow?" Dib nodded. "So how was your little talk with Zim yesterday?" Esther asked.
Dib sighed, "God damn, I still can't believe the two of them ran off and did that."
"Well, at least they admitted it to you."
"Yeah... I guess." Dib paused, then started to silently laugh.
"What?"
"Yesterday, Zim had the funniest idea that we were a couple."
"Yeah, so did Gaz," Esther laughed.
The two of them began to laugh for no reason. Each one, trying to hide their true feelings for each other. They slowly stopped, and the two of them stared in each other's eyes.
'Oh God, could Zim be right? Maybe I do want more than friendship from Esther' Dib thought.
'Oh no, I think I'm falling in love. Just looking at him makes me feel all... different.' Esther thought. "Dib," Esther began, "I apologize in advance for this." Esther quickly grabbed Dib's head, and pulled it towards her's, kissing him firmly. Dib pressed his lips against Esther's, and wrapped his arms around her beautifully curved hips. "Wait!" Esther ran to the door, and switched the sign to CLOSE. Then ran back to Dib, knocking him down to the floor, furiously kissing. They were interrupted by the door opening; they quickly stood up.
"What were you two doing down there?" Zim said raising an eyebrow.
"Just friends?" Gaz said.
"Gaz! Zim!" exclaimed the two of them in unison.
Zim and Gaz smiled slyly, "What a friendship!" teased Zim. "Hey Esther, wanna be my friend, too?" Zim said winking and he pointed at Esther's shirt which sunk down, revealing part of her bra
"Eww!" exclaimed Esther, pulling her shirt up.
Gaz snickered, "I knew you had something for my stupid brother."
Dib and Esther were red with embarrassment. "Uh... what brings you two here?" Dib said trying to change the subject.
"Gaz tells me that Esther is moving in with you, Dib. We were wondering if you needed any help with moving."
"I think we can handle it," replied Esther.
"Aw, I see... Gaz, let's go home. I think these two love worms would like to be alone."
As soon as Zim and Gaz left, Esther and Dib returned to their work as if nothing happened.
The next day, Dib helped Esther move in her things. She didn't bring much, a few bags of clothes, a bed, television set, a dresser, a desk, and a small mini couch, along with a few personal items. They were done within forty-five minutes.
When they were done moving everything into what used to be the guest room, they sat on Esther's bed watching Mysterious Mysteries. "Uh, Esther... remember yesterday's incident..."
"Yes."
"I was wondering... what exactly was that? I mean, I know what it was, but--"
"Dib I love you."
"This isn't a joke is it?"
"No no, it's the truth."
"Yes! I mean yay! I mean I feel the same way."
Esther laughed, "I'm glad you do."
Dib smiled, he took one of her braids, and studied it, "How do you do it?"
"The braids? It's simple." She slipped off the rubberband of one of her braids and unbraided it. She began to rebraid it, "See?"
Dib took the strands of hair, and began to braid it for her, "Woah, this is kinda neat-o." He tied the rubberband round the finished braid.
Esther took the braid, and studied it, "You're a fast learner."
