Dream Come True (Dreams Series Spin-off)

Chapter 5

Semi edited.

Past: freshman year of college

Squeeze a lime into the pasta salad and toss it one last time before putting the lid on it and grabbing all my stuff to head over to Allie's apartment.

She's having a BBQ and Wes is coming over so we can get to know each other and I hope I don't make a fool of myself in front of him like I did when we were younger.

Since I live in a dorm room I don't have a kitchen, so I came to my parents place and made the pasta salad.

It's just me here since my mom is on her book tour right now and my dad went with her to support her.

Allie said I didn't have to bring anything, but I wanted to and considering most guys are human garbage disposals I won't have to worry about anything going to waste.

I made Mexican street corn pasta salad and I already tried it, it's really good.

I have some Latino heritage on my mom's side because my grandpa was from Mexico, and he taught my mom how to cook and then she taught me and my sister how to cook.

Gene wise I took after my dad's side like my mom took after her mother's side.

When I pull up to the apartment complex I park in the visitors parking and head up the stairs to her apartment.

I transfer the pasta salad to my other hand and knock on the door.

Normally I'd just invite myself in, but now that I know Wes is here I don't want to walk in on them making out or worse.

That's would be like a kick to the stomach.

A few seconds later Allie opens the door. "Hey babe, why are you knocking?" She laughed.

I shrugged. "I didn't want to walk in on something I shouldn't see."

She blushed. "Yeah good call" she said opening the door wider for me to come in.

Thank god I knocked first.

We walk to her kitchen where she has some snacks and platters, I grab a piece of cheese and crackers, I'm starving.

"What did you make?" She asked taking the bowl from my hands and putting it in the fridge.

"Mexican street corn pasta salad."

She groaned. "That sounds amazing and it'll go perfect with the meat" She said.

"What are we having?"

"Well at first I was just gonna have hamburgers and hotdogs, but then I changed my mind and thought grilled chicken sounded good" She said.

"That does sound good, something different."

"Exactly what I was thinking" She said.

I looked around. "So where's the man of the hour?"

"He's manning the grill, the chicken should be done soon" She said.

"Great because I'm starving."

"Same here. I've been munching for awhile waiting for the chicken to be done" She said.

"Hey babe, can you open the door. I'm coming in with the chicken" Wes's voice is slightly muffled since he's outside.

She pulls back the curtain to the sliding glass door and opens it, and he walks in holding the plate full of chicken puting it on the kitchen table.

He sets it down and kisses the top of her head making my stomach drop.

This is how I'll react for the time being, it'll get better.
