Food

Everly pov:

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door. " Ugh . Who is it early in the morning?" I lazily got up from bed , slowly gaining my sight and balance , I walked to the door almost tripping halfway before arriving. " Everly , It's me Mark your neighbor!" I heard a faint voice from behind the door. I groaned in annoyance.... Why is he here this early?

"What?" I groaned as I opened the door . " Good morning to you too." He sarcastically smiled , bashing through the door making me tumble a bit to the back . " Excuse me?"

He looked back at me innocently smiling as he mumbled a 'what?' . I shook my head to the sides as I stretched my shoulders a bit , following him the couch as he plopped down on the couch sighing happily. "We planned to go food shopping today. Have you forgot ?" He nonchalantly mentioned as his lips formed a straight line , his eyes digging deep into my soul . I stood there lost in the feeling. I felt my heart race faster as I became more aware of my short , fast and loud breath. I coughed lightly trying to start a new conversation . " I'll g-go get changed" I stuttered as I mentally facepalmed myself , quickly entering my bedroom to change and get ready.

What a good way to start my day .

"Green tea will suit you " He added as he looked at every inch of me . Two hours have passed and we were still in the 5th aisle , more than ten left to go. Mark would spend an eternity in each aisle , inspecting every product and choosing what he calls ' the best match for me' . At this rate why not just sleep here tonight. "Let's get you honey too" Mark walked a few steps to the left as he picked some honey 'inspecting' it again. I had no choice but to follow him , waiting for him to finish choosing my 'best match'.

Now standing in-front of the 7th aisle, I sighed heavily as I saw all the canned beans filling the entire aisle. I guess we won't finish today. "Stop sighing . You'll be thanking me later " He softly said as he slowly patted my hair. I looked at him pouting as I sighed again . " Well , it won't matter that much cause I can hardly cook any dish. " He laughed as he shook his head pushing the tray to the front. " I can cook for you" " No thanks" I directly declined. If he'll cook for me that means more time together. I can't get used to his presence, I'll only get hurt when he leaves.

" That was a fast no" He chuckled as he started to inspect the peas jar he had in his hand. "I can learn alone , you don't have to. " I continued to follow him around as the time was painfully slowly passing. One more hour have passed as it was already one in the afternoon and I was dying from hunger. My stomach was growling every few seconds as I waited impatiently for Mr. 'this will suit you' to finish choosing the groceries that could last me a whole year. The tray was already full , few products even hanging up from it. I looked at the tray sighing as I knew that it's gonna be a huge sum of money.
