Chapter 10
The next day, I couldn�t get my mind off the day before and when he would call. Finally, after cleaning every inch of the house and
giving all the dogs a bath, I had nothing left to do. So, I sat down on the couch and started flipping through the channels. Nothing on,
so I decided to go out and rent a couple movies.
I barely got in the door when the phone rang. I answered it and sure enough, it was Brian. We talked for a few minutes about this new
band that is giving him some problems. They seem to want to do things one way and it�s not the way that he is accustomed to doing it.
�Okay� he said. �Now that I am done ranting and raving, how was your day?�
�Oh, pretty slow� I said remembering how I did anything I could to keep my mind off of him. �Say, I just went out and got a couple
videos. How about you take a break from your stressful day, come over, and watch them with me?�
�Sounds like a plan. Do you want me to bring anything?�
�Um�well, how about some chocolate? I�ll nuke some popcorn and we can pig out.�
�Okay, I�ll be over in about a half hour.�
�Alright, see you then.�
We hung up and it just hit me that I actually technically asked him out. Oh my God! That is so unlike me. I usually never would have
initiated something like that! What is wrong with me?
I spent the next thirty minutes feeding the animals and putting the dogs out. Well, all except for Silo. He seemed to be well behaved
enough around Brian, so I didn�t have to worry about him. I just got done putting powdered cheddar cheese on the popcorn when the
doorbell rang. I grabbed the popcorn and a couple cans of soda with glasses, sat them down on the coffee table, and opened the door.
Brian was standing there with two bags full of different kinds of chocolate candy and he had a big grin on his face as he held them up
to me.
�Geez� I said looking in the bags while letting him in. �Can we say overboard?�
�Well, I didn�t know exactly what kind you wanted, so I bought one of everything.�
�That was sweet of you. Come on in and have a seat. The popcorn is ready and I have the movie in the VCR ready to play.�
�Cool� he said plopping down on the couch and grabbing the bowl of popcorn. �Cheese? You put cheese on your popcorn?�
Remembering that he loved cheese, I knew where he was going with this. �Yeah, doesn�t everybody?�
�Well, I know I do� he replied. �But I didn�t think anyone else did.�
I stood there looking at him with a sheepish grin on my face and seeing that, he got the point.
�Oh, I see. You read that once during the Backstreet days that I liked this, didn�t you?�
I sat down beside of him and started opening the multiple bags of chocolate. �I have to admit that this is true. Since then, I tried it
and absolutely love it. I can barely stand popcorn without cheese anymore.�
With that, he stuffed his mouth with popcorn as I hit the play button on the remote and then dug into the popcorn myself. We sat
back and started watching the first movie. We were sitting close enough to where our legs were touching. He had the bowl of popcorn
sitting on his lap and I had three bags of chocolate opened and sitting on my lap. Every now and then our hands would touch and I felt
the butterflies all over again.
