There was a small scribbled note under the movies.
No popcorn, it gets stuck in your teeth, then you’ll have dental issues on top of the neck.
I snort-chuckled. Freaking Josh.
Just as I set everything out of the box, a text went off.
Josh
Heard you got told to take a sick day. Thought you could use some essentials.
Me
I could. It’s perfect. But you didn’t need to do that.
Josh
That’s what boyfriends do right?
I bit the inside of my cheek. Boyfriend? Josh? That was quite the sentence and doing things it shouldn’t be, like making my stomach flutter.
Me
That is what real boyfriends do. But this is pretend.
Josh
Then consider me in character. Besides, I already told you we need to do this all the way, not half-ass it. While we might call it fake, when we’re together it’s real.
My heart sputtered in my chest. This was not at all what I was expecting. But he was also right. If I wanted my family to believe him and I were the real deal, we had to do coupley-things. And this was a gesture I could brag about.
Me
Then you did good.
Josh
Told you I could nail this boyfriend thing.
Me
We’ll see…
Josh
Is that a challenge?
Me
You and your freaking challenges. Isn’t that what got you in this mess?
Josh
LOL. Everyone loves a challenge.
Not everyone, but we did apparently. I couldn’t back down from my sister and admit I was single and he couldn’t lose a bet to Carlos, which I strangely understood. Okay, so what was something that would be a thing real couples did? Alright, Josh. You want a real,fakegirlfriend? Let’s test the waters.
