"I'd love too," I responded happily, "And my family's coming here the week before that, so they can meet you."
"Does that mean you want to meet my parents, too?" Joe asked nervously.
"Yeah-wait, you haven't said anything to your parents yet," I exclaimed.
Joe shook his head, and I laughed. "It's fine. Take your time."
I took one last bite of my pasta, and then looked over at Joe. "Ready?" He nodded, and stood up.
OOO
Joe pulled into the driveway of Starkid Manor, just as the sun was seeping into the horizon.
"We have the guest room set up for you upstairs," Joe told me, pulling the key out of the ignition, "you're welcome here until you get an apartment."
"Thanks," I said, smiling genially, "Who's here now?"
"Brian, Matt, Nick, Jim, me, and now you," Joe replied. He opened the trunk, and handed me the suitcase, "I think they're out now, though."
I followed Joe up to the door, and we stepped inside. It looked pretty much the same as it had a month ago. We both sat down on the large couch in the living room.
"So," Joe said awkwardly, "what do you wanna do?"
I shrugged. "Watch a movie?"
"Ok," Joe agreed, standing up.
He walked across the room to a door, and pulled it open. I followed him, and peered inside. It was a closet, lined with shelves. The shelves were packed with movies. There were probably at least two hundred DVD's and VHS tapes in there.
"Woah," I said, marveling at them all, and scanning the names.
"Yea," Joe said, "Most of them are Nick and Matt's. Which do you want to watch?"
My eyes landed on one of my favorites, and I pulled it off the shelf. "Peter Pan," he nodded his approval. I handed it to him and he popped it into the DVD player. As the opening credits came on, I leaned back against the couch. After a few minutes Joe slowly put his arm around my shoulder. I smiled.
I know it's a really short chapter, so I'll update again on Saturday. See you then. :D
