Adam was the first one to wake in the morning as the sun shined in his eyes. He groaned and stretched a bit as his favorite blanket slowly fell to the floor. He paused and looked at it a little confused. He could have sworn he had left it neatly folded at the end of his bed. He looked around to see Charlie sleeping on the floor with his head leaned up against the recliner. Adam smirked knowing Charlie had slid out of the chair sometime in the night and was two lazy to stand up and go to his room.
Adam then scrunched his eyebrows together as he tried to remember why the boys were sleeping in the living room and not their warm cozy beds.
Amore. Adam thought in realization. They had tried to stay awake in case Amore had come home. At once he flung his blanket behind him and got to his feet. He headed for the front door and sighed in relief to see Amore's car parked in its parking spot.
He turned on his heals and headed up stairs. Amore's door was open slightly so he peaked in. She was laying on top of the covers as she cuddled with her body pillow. Adam smirked knowing she was a constant cuddler. She always had to cuddle something. His eyes then narrowed as he noticed what she was wearing his favorite navy blue gym shorts, he thought he has lost those the beginning of his freshman year at Eden Hall, and and a warn out black polo shirt he could have sworn used to be his in Jr. High.
"I don't want to talk to you Adam." Amore said into her pillow, not even looking at him. She just knew he was there, standing out side her door. "I'm tired of apologizing for something that needs to come from you."
Adam opened his mouth to say something, but instead walked away and headed back down stairs to make breakfast for him and Charlie. He got out a frying pan, not caring how much noise he made.
Charlie came rushing into the kitchen and slid to a halt when he saw Adam. He blinked at Adam a few times then looked at the frying pan he held in his hands. He couldn't believe Adam was acting like nothing happened last night.
"She's in her room." Adam replied placing the pan down on the stove. Charlie sat down at the kitchen table with a heavy relieved sigh. "You want scrambled or fried?"
Charlie raised an eyebrow at his friend unsure what he meant. Adam smirked. "Eggs, Charlie. Scrambled or fried?"
"Scrambled, with cheese, mushrooms, peppers and sausage." Charlie ordered rubbing his hands together excitedly.
Adam rolled his eyes at him. "I'm not a chief Charlie, you're lucky I even offered to make you. Breakfast."
Charlie smirked as Adam went to the fridge and got out every thing he had asked for. From the doorway the heard a small giggle. They turned to see Amore standing back and watching them. She walked up to Adam, bumped him out of the way, and nodded towards the table with out saying a word. Charlie smiled when he saw the playful behavior from Amore. Maybe they had finally given up fighting. Adam threw a fork at Charlie while Amore's back was turned. He knew what Charlie was thinking and he didn't want him opening his mouth to ask. The boys sat back and watched Amore cook their food. She spooned some eggs out of the pan and put them on a plate then brought it to Adam then added a few more things to the rest of the eggs.
"Hey where's your mushrooms." Charlie asked when he noticed Adam's eggs were mushroom free. Adam took a bite with a slight smile on his face.
"Don't like them much." He replied. Charlie looked at Amore's back with a surprised look on his face. Amore still knew every thing about Adam.
"Well mine had better have mushrooms!" Charlie demanded as Amore brought over two plates. She sat one down in front of Charlie then ruffled his hair a bit. She sat down and began to eat. Charlie took a few bites then watched his friends intently. Neither of them made an effort to speak to each other or even look up from their breakfast to glance the others way. Charlie rolled his eyes. At least they aren't trying to kill each other.
XOXOXOX
Amore came down stairs and flung herself on the couch that was already occupied by Charlie. He groaned as her elbow nailed him in the side but didn't protest as Amore laid on top of him. Adam turned his head away from the scene. He was glad Amore was in a better mood, but she still hadn't talked to him since that morning.
"Ewe Amore!" Charlie protested. Adam turned to see Amore giggle and sit up on Charlie's back. Charlie attempted to grab at her. But since he was laying on his stomach hid arms wouldn't bend back that far. "Hasn't any one told you it's rude to lick people!"
Amore messed up his hair and whipped the spot on his cheek she had licked. "We need toilet paper. And I need shampoo. So I was thinking this would be a great time for a shopping trip."
Charlie groaned. "Slick, I'm sorry to say this, but its 10:00 at night. Where the hell are you going to go shopping at?"
"Wal-Mart is open 24 hours." Adam said. Charlie glared at his friend as he smirked back.
"Don't help." Charlie demanded.
"Come on Charlie! Wally world trip!" Amore said getting to her feet and holding out her hand to him. He shook his head and buried his face into the couch. "I'll let you sit in the cart."
Charlie's head raised slightly and he open one eye to look at her. "Even through the check out?"
Amore nodded with a smile. Charlie quickly got up off the couch and headed towards the door, but not before punching Adam in the shoulder.
"Come on Cake-eater! Wally World awaits!" Charlie said heading for the car. Adam looked up at Amore as if asking if he could go too. Amore just shrugged. He hesitated for a moment before he jumped out of the chair and raced to the car. Amore giggled and rolled her eyes. What was it with those two and their love of Wal-Mart.
When they got to Wal-Mart Amore was about ready to smack both boys. Charlie had put in his Ipod and blared the most annoying songs he could find. Then both boys sang along with the songs at the top of his lungs. Jumping up and down in their seats. Amore walked into the store and grabbed a cart and stood next to it annoyed as she watched Charlie jump on Adam's back. Adam shrugged his friend off with a laugh as both boys raced into Wal-Mart.
"Get in here, or I'm changing my mind." Amore demanded. As Charlie did Amore rolled her eyes. "On the way back we're listening to my Ipod and I'm taking control of it."
She pushed the cart down a few isles as Adam grabbed random things and put them in the cart. Charlie went threw each item and if he didn't like it, he'd throw it back at Adam. Adam didn't seem to mind, he just put the items on the closest shelf and placed another item in the cart.
"Charlie Conway you put those back!" Amore demanded when she realized Adam had placed purple tinkerbell sunglasses in the cart and Charlie placed them on his face. He looked back at her with an innocent look and she laughed. "We are not buying child sunglasses!"
She turned to Adam to glare her annoyance, but couldn't hold back her laughter. He was also wearing Tinkerbell sunglasses except his were pink. He looked at her funny as if wearing little girl sunglasses was a normal thing for them to do.
"That's it I'm going to find the things we need. You boys have fun screwing off." Amore said she attempted to turn and walk away, but found her way blocked by Adam.
"Fine." Amore said rolling her eyes as she turned Charlie noticed she has a slight smirk on her face. Adam and Charlie behaved for a little while till they made it to the movie section. Adam took off towards the five dollar movies while Charlie rocked back and forth, attempting to get Amore to move faster. Amore rolled her eyes and pushed the cart up to Adam as she went to look at some other movies. She went through a few movies then looked over her shoulder to see Charlie's lap full of movies as Adam tossed some in. Amore smirked and went to look at the movies Adam had put in the cart. She picked up a few and put them back.
"Hey! That's a classic!" Charlie demanded.
"A classic I have." Amore said with a smirk. "If you boys want movies, I'll have Dad bring my collection next weekend. So no more movies in this cart. After we figure out what I have, We'll buy more."
Charlie and Adam exchanged looks. There was a slight pause and soon Adam was placing more movies in the cart once again.
"Fine put more movies in that damn cart." Amore said trying to sound like a stern mother. "But I'm not paying for a single one."
Charlie looked up at Adam, then thrusted a couple movies into his chest. Adam quickly put them back and grabbed the next stack from Charlie. Amore waited patently for them to finish then grabbed the cart and pushed Charlie to where the toilet paper was.
"Awe this one has a baby on it." Charlie said picking up the toilet paper and placing it in his lap.
"This one has bears!" Adam said grabbing the toilet paper from Charlie and replacing it with with his choice.
"I want the baby toilet paper!" Charlie pouted.
"To bad. I was the bear toilet paper!" Adam demanded crossing his arms.
"Baby!"
"Bears!"
"Baby!" Charlie said throwing the toilet paper at Adam.
"Puppy!" Amore demanded as she picked up the four roll package from the floor and placed a 12 roll package next to Charlie. Both boys glared at her. "Look puppies are cute like babies and are animals like bears. So shut up about toilet paper and compromise."
She pushed the cart away from the toilet paper before they could pick up their little banter and quickly headed for the check out. The girl behind the counter looked at the four friends as if they were the craziest people she had seen all day, but they didn't seem to notice.
Charlie was too busy placing items on the counter, while Amore was attempting to stop Adam from placing anything else in the cart. Not a word was said between the three of them.
The cashier didn't even tell them the total, she just tapped her fingernails on the counter, till Amore pulled out a credit card and swiped it. She handed Amore the receipt as the boys headed out of the store. Charlie still in the cart. Amore rolled her eyes and quickly followed. They were already waiting for her next to her car. Amore realized then that Adam had ran.
"I'm never taking both of you in there again!" Amore demanded as she dug through her purse for her keys. When there was no protest she looked at the boys and groaned. They were once again wearing those dang tinkerbell sunglasses. She then started to wonder what all she had bought.
XOXOXOX
When they got back to the apartment, Amore let the boys carry all the bags in. They wanted to act like children in Wal-Mart, then they could carry everything in.
Amore set her keys on the kitchen table then went up stairs to change into something more comfortable. She wasn't up stairs long before she heard the TV turn on and the volume turn way up. She rolled her eyes and walked back down stairs. Charlie was sitting on the floor in front of the TV with four new movies spread around him.
"Buttery, not so buttery or extremely buttery?" Adam called from the kitchen. Charlie raised an eyebrow and looked up at Amore as if wondering what the hell Adam was talking about.
"Popcorn Charlie! I'm talking about popcorn!" Adam said knowing Charlie had no clue what he was talking about. Despite the fact they had just talked about making popcorn not seconds before.
"Extreme man!" Charlie replied as he placed one movie aside and stared at the others intently.
Amore rolled her eyes and randomly picked out a movie and placed it behind her back while kicking the rest under the TV stand "Since I'm not waiting an hour for you to pick out a movie. We're watching this one."
Amore turned down the volume and placed the movie into the DVD player. Charlie moved to the couch and stretched out on one side. Amore smirked and sat down next to him. A few minutes later Adam came in with three movie theater popcorn bowls, Averman had swiped a couple cases after he got fired. He handed one to Charlie then one to Amore. He then sat down At the other end of the couch and put his feet up by Amore.
"Hey, where's your extreme buttery goodness?" Charlie asked when he noticed Amore's popcorn was different. Amore looked confused, then looked down at her popcorn. She smiled shyly over at Adam, who was pretending to watch the previews.
"I'm not a fan of pop corn butter." Amore said. Adam looked over at her, they locked eyes, then he went back to watching the TV screen.
