| *~* Flashback *~* �Angel,� Crystal heard from the kitchen of the cottage Lance and Crystal rented for the week. �We need some food.� �Let�s go shopping then,� Crystal suggested. �Want to come with me? I could use some company.� �Only if I can help push the cart,� Lance said walking into the living room where Crystal was standing looking out over the ocean. �Please?� �Sure,� Crystal said. She turned around and Lance took her into a big bear hug. �Are you ready, Hun?� �Yeah,� Lance said still holding Crystal tight. �Are you ready?� �I will be when you let go and let me put my shoes on my feet,� Crystal said laughing. �Lance� are you like sleeping up there or something?� Lance let go after he laughed and watched Crystal as she bent down to fix her sneakers. He thought that he was going to laugh, but he only smiled when she stood up and looked at her pretty face. �What,� Crystal asked smiling at Lance. �Do I have something on my pants?� �No,� Lance said. �Why are you in pants anyway? It�s hotter then your titty here.� �My titty,� Crystal asked looking down at her boobs. �Why did you say that?� �I meant a titty,� Lance scolded himself. �Sorry.� Crystal watched as both his face and her face grew red with embarrassment. She grabbed her bag with her wallet and keys and they were out the door on the way to the store about 10 minutes away. �Okay,� Lance said walking into the store. �What do we need to get? I forgot the list at home.� �We need a lot,� Crystal said. �We just got here today and we still have the rest of today and all week.� �Let�s go through all the isles,� Lance suggested. �Then we can see everything.� Crystal was pushing the cart down the produce isle when Lance came up and put his hands on the handle bar next to hers. He was walking right behind Crystal. �Happy now,� Crystal asked. �You are helping me push the cart.� �I�d rather you sit right here,� Lance said pointing to the seat where children sit. �Then I could keep an eye on you the whole time.� �What is that supposed to mean, Mr. Bass,� Crystal asked stopping the cart and picking up at can of peaches. �Hun, do we want to have peaches or pears?� �EWW,� Lance squealed. �I hate pears.� �Me too,� Crystal said putting the can of peaches in the cart. �I think they�re disgusting.� About 1-� hours later, Crystal and Lance were in the last isle, the dairy isle. �Are we done yet,� Lance asked looking at the half full cart of groceries. �We have been here for 1 � hours already. I�M STARRVING!� �I�ll take you out to dinner tonight,� Crystal said looking at her watch. It was 4:09pm. �Eat this to hold you over.� Lance took the bag of X�s & O�s cheetos and munched on them hungrily. �I suppose you are thirsty now,� Crystal said. �Here.� Lance took the coke that crystal handed him. �I�d much rather drink Dr., Pepper.� Lance said. �This is gross.� On the way back home, Lance and Crystal were singing along to the radio. �I love this song,� Crystal said turning up the radio in the Blue Ford Explorer. �It�s so good.� �I know,� Lance said. �How can I pretend that you�re only my friend when you�re holding my body tight�� Soul decision, �Faded� was playing loudly on the radio. Crystal looked over at Lance as he sang along. She put her attention back to her singing and the road. Lance looked over at Crystal wanting her to know that he wanted her, how could he pretend they were only friends? *~* End Flashback *~* |
