"Ice cream?"
"Check."
"Tissue?"
"Check."
"Lame romantic movie?"
"It's not totally lame, but check."
Charlie and I walk through Target as we gather things for tonight's sleepover at my place. We turn into another food aisle and look for random snacks.
"Should we get Pizza Rolls?" Charlie asks.
"Aren't we already ordering pizza?" I remind her.
"Okay, yeah, but not rolls of pizza. This is different Jasmine!"
"Fine, we can get them."
Charlie smiles at me before opening up one of the fridge doors and getting two bags of Pizza Rolls.
"Liquor?" Charlie asks me in a low voice.
"Not checked off yet." I say.
"What does Paige like?" She asks.
"She's into the hard stuff."
"Shit. They only sell wine coolers and that weak stuff."
"Maybe we can call someone and ask them to buy us some?" I suggest.
"Why bother? I got my fake ID with me. We'll just drive to a liquor store on our way back home."
"What if we get caught?" I ask her as we enter another aisle.
"Relax. I've done it like, twenty times already." Charlie assures me.
We walk through aisles and gather a few more things for the night.
"Hey I need to get some more tampons for the house." I tell Charlie.
"Alright. I need some myself, too." She says. Together we head into the Feminine Products aisle and look for our tampons. I grab my box for Paige and I and Charlie grabs hers. Through the corner of my eye, I see Charlie slip a box of condoms in her basket.
"Are you ready to pay?" I ask her.
"Yeah. Are you?" She responds.
"Mm hmm." I nod.
She and I head off the pay for our items and then pack the stuff up in the trunk of my car. I get in the drivers seat and Charlie gets in the passenger seat and reads one of those trashy-celebrity magazines.
"Charlie?"
"Hmm?"
"What's the box of condoms for?"
"Oh...uh..."
"You're seeing Matt, aren't you?" I ask her.
"W-what? No!" She chuckles.
"Liar! I know when you lie! You and Matt are doing the do!"
"Shut up! I swear Jasmine if you tell anyone..." Charlie trails off.
"Relax," I laugh, "I swear to not tell anyone this!"
"Look, I kind of like the guy." She mumbles.
"Have you guys been on any dates yet?" I ask her.
"Yeah, but they usually end up in one of us on top of the other."
"Okay, too much information!"
"No, I'm serious thought. He's nice."
Charlie and I talk about her relationship with Matt as we drive home. We got caught up in the rain and some traffic, but we made it home safely.
Diana opens up the front door for us and we walk in. Paige wasn't back from work yet so that gave Diana and I time to set up. Charlie went off to "use the toilet", but the sounds of her camera clicking told Diana and I otherwise.
