Snippet #1109809

"Yeah." I said blantly. I got out of the car and headed into the Grocery Store, going toward the fruit isle.


He had to have guessed I was lying. Nicolai is smarter than that.. Why won't he realize?

I pulled a bag off the dispenser and tossed a couple of apples in.
I picked up a peach and stared at it.

Maybe he doesn't want to realize?

We've been friends for so long, maybe he just can't picture me that way?

The thought was understandable. And quite possible..

I put the peach in the bag and walked away from the fruits, no longer hungry.
I snatched up a few other things and payed for the food.

I made my way to the car while struggling with the bags, Holding the keys in my mouth and four bags on my arm, I managed to lift open the trunk without dropping anything. I shut the trunk and rounded the car. I got in the car and kept my eyes on the steering wheel while waiting for Nicolai.
