Happy flowers and pixie sticks
Shelly was the first to be at their new home, as Eric usually had the band practise with the guys after school, she unpacked her clothing, and found her formal dress and smiled going to touch it gently, formal was next week. The red material felt so good against her skin, she sighed and knew she wasn't really going, but still it wouldn't hurt to wear it, just to feel pretty, besides there was a thing going of after the formal at the Pit, maybe she could convince Eric to at least go to that. She hung up the dress and put it in the back of the small closet, hidden by everything else, she didn't want it to seem as if it was a big deal. Besides possibly that night they could have a horror movie marathon or something. Looking around, she noticed there was a still a mess and went to clean up, putting clothes away, and some cooking stuff, such as pots and pans even though she knew she was a terrible cook, and scowled glaring evilly at a pan as if it was her worst enemy. " Stupid things," she mumbled hanging them up in the small cupboard by the stove. Moving the table around with slight difficulty she managed to push it by the wall so it wasn't in the middle of the room, and went to make a sandwich and put on some music to lighten up the place and started to dance around the apartment, grinning taking out pictures, and putting up curtains to make it feel like a home, even though the windows weren't that big, but still "better then nothing right?" she mumbled to herself with a mouthful of bread. Once everything was how she liked it, she sat down tapping her sock feet as she waited for Eric, getting bored she reached for a book, getting frustrated with the book she threw it down on the old red beat up sofa. And started to bounce around again, then sat down in the middle of the room, looking around. Standing up she went and dug around in some stuff in a bag in her section and found all sorts of candles, placing them randomly around the room, Red ones, blue ones, dark purple ones, scented one, just anything. Sitting down again, she groaned and stood back up, she had an itch that needed to be scratched but didn't know what to do about it, so she put her shoes back on and locked the door, leaving her wallet behind so she didn't buy anything.
Eric walked in half an hour later, and noticed she wasn't there but everything was set out, and stuff was moved, red beaded curtains were up, along with candles and a weird lime green shag rug she had placed in their bedroom, he shook his head sitting down on the bed, all his clothing folded and semi sorted, she had been REALLY bored. Eric was getting somewhat concerned, as he didn't know if she had gotten home safe or not, or if she was still has school, he decided he would wait for a little while to see if she just went out for a little bit . . .
Shelly walked by the pet store, there was this pathetic little white kitten mewing at her through the window and pawing at the glass, she fell in love instantly and cooed at it through the glass" hello there! aren't you the most sweetest pathetic thing ever! how I would love to take you home" she said with a smile, then sighed and knew they couldn't really afford a cat right now, besides was Eric even a cat person? she scowled and scuffed her shoes and kept walking, just needing something to do. Not knowing what time it was she took her sweet time, not realising Eric was now at home. Eric kept checking the grey and white clock in the kitchen, tapping his toes and snapping his fingers, trying to keep the what if's from entering his mind. He scowled and went to get his shoes on leaving his coat on the couch as he left. Shelly came back in seeing his coat, said loudly " Eric? I'm home!" she said grinning, she was holding a fresh bouquet of Irises and daisies, she crept into the room thinking he was sleeping as the door was closed, and got ready to spook him, she found the room was empty, she looked around and sighed going to the kitchen and putting the flowers in water. Eric walked around town, the sun was starting to go down, he was getting really worried, he checked everywhere she would be, the pet store, bookstore, library, even familiar streets they walked down together. Nothing. Shelly looked around the apartment and hugged his coat tightly, getting worried as the sun was going down, and real creeps came out at night. She put his coat down, and went to find him, Eric started going back to the apartment, thinking what if she gave out on the first day and went home..or what if she was with someone else..Shelly bit her bottom lip twisting her fingers, thinking what if Eric went home, cause he didn't want to be with her anymore..or what if he was with some other girl...They passed each other for a second, she looked up " Eric?", he stoped hearing his name and turned around " huh?" he said densely, she started laughing " go figure!" she grinned and ran over and hugged him tightly. He smiled relieved " where were you! I was worried!" she looked up at him and poked his cheek gently " look for you, goose" she said laughing relieved that none of it was true. He laughed " I thought you had gone home" she looked up at him with a sad smile " why would I leave out on you?" he shrugged and looked down feeling kinda stupid now for letting his imagination wander like that, she just shook her head and rolled her eyes, kicking herself inwardly for thinking how stupid she had been for thinking what she did, she kissed him on the lips, he picked her up easily and swung her around gently, she laughing holding onto him. Eric set her down delicately and took her hand " well now that we're both out here, want to go get something for dinner" she asked swinging their hands, the unresponsive silence was broken by Eric's stomach grumbling, he started laughing "food it is, where to hunny?" she gave him a weird look " I thought you were hunnie?" he shrugged and kissed her temple " does it matter" she shrugged and brought them to a small pizza place at bought them both dinner for 12.55$. Eric looked at her and tried not to laugh, his eye shining with mischief " you have a little smutch on your face sweetie.." she looked at him and wiped her cheek, he shook his head " other side and a little higher" she wiped her cheek a little higher, he started to laugh as she kept missing it and leaned across the table wiping her cheek with his napkin, she glared at him playfully blowing bubbles in her milk carton pretending to be mad " and so you blow bubbles at me for getting Pizza sauce off your face" he commented with a smirk, she stuck her tongue out at him. Eric rolled his eyes and nudged her gently with the two of his shoe, she looked at him with mock shock and nudged him back, he looked at her with mock offense, and poked her right in the middle of her nose, she twitched her nose like a rabbit then ended up rubbing it with her hand, she stood up and walked over and wrapped her arms around his neck kissing his cheek then walked out, waiting outside for him. He stood up and walked outside wrapping an arm around her " what do you want to do when we get home" she looked at him with an look " hmm depends" she said wrapping an arm around his waist, he kissed the side of her head " on what" he asked with a smirk " stuff" she said cockishly, he picked her up and swung her over his shoulder, walking that way all the way home, " you know this isn't much of a view" she said sarcastically, he laughed " just shush, we'll be home soon". He set her down by the door and unlocked the door taking off his shoes, then looked at her stroking her cheek " now what was that idea" he asked looking at her and kissed her gently, she looked at her and took his two fingers leading him to their room kissing him, resting her hands on his cheeks, his hands wrapping around her wrists gently, as he kissed her back, she dropped her hands kissing him again slowly sliding under his shirt and rubbing his back, and then gently taking off his shirt.
