Insanity

Chapter 34

The drive to Jonny's house feels like it's taking forever. I glance over at him and smile. "You're cute." I say suddenly, not really meaning to. He shoots me a surprised look and I can see his cheeks reddening. "Is there any particular reason you decided to say that?" He asks, staring at the road ahead of us. "I didn't...I didn't really mean to...it just kinda slipped out..."I mutter. "Hm." Is the only response I get, the car once again falling silent. I begin to fidget, my impatience staring to affect me. "Jonnyyy," I whine. I see him raise an eyebrow. "Yes?" I turn and look at him, "I'm impatient." I state truthfully. He rolls his eyes, "I've noticed," he says. I stay silent for a moment, then, "I'm hungry." He glances at me, then back to the road. "What do you want?" He asks. I bite my lip and respond with, "Taco Bell..." He sighs and agrees to take me to Taco Bell for food. I smile happily and kiss his cheek. "Thank you, Jonny." He nods and pulls into the parking lot of the restaurant and hands me some money. "Obviously, I cannot go in. I'm wanted. I'll wait out here. Go get what you want and just get me a taco." I nod and climb out of the car, walking toward the door as quickly as possible, my stomach growling. I approach the counter and order two Quesaritos, two tacos, a large Mtn Dew Baja Blast and a large Coke. The woman behind the counter takes my money, gives me my change, and hands me my receipt. As I fold the dollar bills up and shove them into my pockets, I feel anxiety welling up inside of me. There are people waiting behind me. Pressuring me to hurry. Just by standing there. I blush bright red and move aside, snapping a rubber band against my wrist. You big baby. They didn't even say anything to you!  The voice in my head tells me. I sigh, knowing it's right, but not caring. The woman calls out my order and I grab the bag of food and the drinks and rush out the door. When I get back in the car, Jonny is staring at me, taking note of my red face and erratic breathing. "Are you okay," he asks. I nod, biting my lip and silently cursing myself. "Just anxiety," I explain, reaching into the bag and grabbing one of my Quesaritos. He nods and reaches into the bag, grabbing a taco. "I got you a Coke.." I say, feeling awkward. He smiles a little. "Thanks." I nod, nervously picking at the foil around my Quesarito.  He tilts his head slightly. "You're acting strange. Nervous. But, why?" I blush and sigh. "I have this thing about....eating in front of people...Not like, people in general, but...people whose opinion I care about..." I say. He gives me an odd look and I look away. "I'm not going to judge you for eating." He states, smiling. He thinks you're stupid. You just had to tell him that. I nod, "I know that sounds really stupid..." I say, unwrapping my food. He just chuckles. "Not stupid. Just different," he responds, taking a bite of his taco. I smile a little, had he doesn't think I'm dumb for my anxiety. He nods toward the uneaten Quesarito in my hand. "Eat," he says, and I do. I take a bite nervously, blushing.  He smiles encouragingly. I relax, enjoying my food. "Good girl," Jonny says, taking a drink of his coke. I blush and nearly choke on my food. "What did you just call me," I ask, taking a sip of my Baja Blast. He chuckles, "I called you a good girl." He's looking at me with an amused expression. I look away, biting my lip. He reaches over and turns my face back to him, kissing me gently. "Eat your food." I blush and nod. We eat the rest of our food in silence. Once we're done, he pulls out of the parking lot and resume our journey to his house, sipping our drinks silently.

Guys, I'm so sorry I haven't updated in such a long time. So much has been going on. I'm not even sure where I'm going with this story. But, I'll try to update somewhat regularly. I have some ideas, so I guess we'll just have to see what happens.
