"I want you and Brody behind the counter. Jake, stand near the table. Get them water or anything else they may ask for." Kevin demanded.
Brody hopped up next to me.
"Lukas." Kevin said motioning for him to walk over to him. Lukas sighed and followed Kevin to the back.
"Mind if I come over tonight?" Brody asked me.
"Um. Chris and I were planning on watching tv in bed and eating pizza hut." I said.
"Oh. Okay." He said.
"Sorry."
"No problemo." He said.
We watched the band come in from the back. Lukas was showing them where to sit. He looked so nervous, it was funny. "I want to kiss you again." Brody whispered in my ear as he scooted closer to me. "Have you been drinking?"
I giggled. "Just a little."
"Don't let Kevin find out." He said.
"Wanna know a secret?" I said quietly.
"What?" He asked giving me a strange look.
"I want to kiss you again." I said.
He laughed quietly. "Is this drunk talk?"
I just shrugged my shoulders smiling. He smiled back.
"You still hooking up with Chris?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Is he really THAT great in bed?" He asked.
"Unbeleiveable." I said smiling as I thought about it.
"Snap out of it." He said laughing. "I get it."
I giggled.
The line started inside the store and went outside. I couldn't tell how long the line was, but I figured it was pretty long. We had to ring every single person up as they walked by. It was a requirement for them all to purchase the new single from our store. There were only two songs on the cd and we heard it them played over and over and over again. I wanted to wrip my hair out by the time we were let off to go home. I was beyond tired. I wasn't even sure if I would be able to stay awake long enough to watch even one episode of Friends. I didn't bother staying after to meet the band like most of the other Tracks employees did. I went straight home when my late shift was over. I was excited to see Chris in bed waiting for me. "Let me change real quick." I said.
"Okay." He smiled.
I changed into a comfortable nighty and climbed into bed with him. He opened the box of olive, pineapple and cheese pizza as I pushed play on the remote. We layed back and started eating.
"Were they cool?" He asked.
I just nodded. I had just taken a huge bite of my pizza, so my mouth was full. He laughed at me.
"Shut up." I said, still chewing.
"Did you talk to them?" He asked.
"No." I said swallowing my pizza. "I didn't bother to. I wanted to come home."
He laughed. "You're crazy."
"Maybe." I said. "But, I came home to you instead."
He smiled. "Much better choice."
"I thought so." I said smiling really big. I let out a giggle. He got on his knees and pushed the pizza box over as he walked up to me. He laughed as I finished chewing. When he noticed me swallow the pizza, he leaned down and started kissing me. I kept getting all these crazy thoughts running through my mind. I felt so close to him that night and it really screwed with my brain. As I turned over, he turned over to and put his arm around me. I had such a weird feeling and it made my stomach tingle. I put my hand over his and couldn't help but smile. I wasn't exactly sure what it was I was feeling, but it felt great and I had never felt it before.
