Chapter Eight
The ride home only took about forty-five minutes, considering there was less traffic.
Brian pulled into the left side of the driveway and Howie took the spot next to him.
Kevin saw that Erin was sound asleep, and he really didn't want to wake her up, but he knew he had to.
"I know how to get her up." Kevin thought.
He leaned over and gave Erin a soft kiss on her lips. She sighed softly and opened her eyes.
"Well, I wouldn't mind a wake up like that everyday !" she smiled.
"And I wouldn't mind giving you one." Kevin replied, as he helped her out of the car.
"Have a nice snooze ?" Brian asked.
"Actually, yeah, I feel a lot better now." Erin said.
Everyone followed the walkway to the front door and followed Brian in.
As soon as he got it the house, Nick made a bee line for the bathroom.
"Man, Howie. I told you we let him have too much pop !!" AJ joked.
Everyone laughed at AJ's joke which, of course, was at Nick's expense.
After that they all walked through the foyer to the kitchen.
"So, whatıs everyone hungry for ?" asked Howie.
"I think it's fend-for-yourself night." Brian said. "Whatever you can find, you can eat !"
"Sounds good to me !" AJ agreed.
"What would you like, Erin ?" Kevin called.
"Hmm...I'll share whatever you're having." she said, her voice coming from the living room.
"Okay then." Kevin agreed.
The guys all started rummaging noisily through the kitchen.
"Hey...what's goin' on guys ?" Nick asked, having just returned from the bathroom.
Brian stopped what he was doing and turned to Nick.
"Tonight is make-your-own-dinner night." informed Brian. "Good luck, man !!"
"Hmm..." Nick thought, as he opened the refrigerator and stared at itıs contents.
After thirty minutes of clanging and banging the guys' dinners were finally done.
Brian's meal consisted of macaroni and cheese and a ham sandwich.
Nick had come up with a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup.
AJ, being extremely unoriginal when it comes to food, ran out and got McDonald's for the second time that day.
Howie's concoction was a Mexican dish with Spanish rice and tacos.
And Kevin had made himself and Erin a breakfast / dinner. He had whipped up Belgian waffles, bacon, hash browns, and fresh squeezed orange juice.
"Now, this I could get used to !!" Erin said to Kevin.
"Hey, consider yourself lucky. I don't cook like this for just anyone !!" Kevin joked.
"Well, it's very delicious...thank you." Erin said.
"You're very welcome." Kevin replied.
Dinner went by quickly and everyone cleaned up their share of the mess.
After everything was straightened up, Erin decided she should be heading home. Kevin then walked her out to her car to say good night.
"I want you to know, I had a really good time today." Erin said sincerely.
"I did too, I'm glad Brian invited you over." Kevin added as he helped Erin into her car.
"Are you busy tomorrow night ?"
"I don't think so. Why ?" questioned Erin.
"Well, we have a concert tomorrow. I thought you might like to come." Kevin answered.
"Yeah, I'd love to go !" Erin said excitedly.
"Well, I'll call you tomorrow to let you know what time I'll pick you up." Kevin offered.
"Okay, I'll talk to you then." Erin agreed, then started to drive away.
"Wait..." Kevin said.
He went up to the car and stuck his head through the open window.
He gave Erin a long, deep kiss.
"Mmm, good night." she managed to say.
"Good night." Kevin returned.
Erin drove all the way home thinking about Kevin. She was on cloud nine.
When she got home, she changed for bed and fell right asleep.
