Trolley pushers


“I wanna trolley!!” Cassidy whined as they entered the supermarket.
“Well I ain’t pushing you!” Becca grinned as Cassidy quickly grabbed an empty trolley.
“Nick…….” Cassidy asked innocently looking up at Nick.
“Get on……” He rolled his eyes laughing. Cassidy jumped on the front of the trolley and they wheeled around to where the aisles started.
“Well, I think we should split up to save time…..you go with Nick and Brian and I’ll get the rest of the stuff…” Becca told Cassidy who wasn’t particularly listening because she was trying to avoid crashing into a pyramid of coffee jars.
“CASSIDY!!” Becca gasped at the near miss.
“Ummmm….I’m gonna get off here now before I kill someone mkay?” Cassidy said guiltily stepping off the front of the trolley.
“Good steering doofus…” Cassidy whispered to Nick. He laughed.
“Cassidy are you listening to me??” Becca asked exasperated.
“Yes…” Cassidy lied.
“Then what do you and Nick have to get??” She asked placing her hands on her hips.
“Ummm….” Cassidy looked at Nick for help, and he whispered something into her ear. Cassidy looked at Nick strangely and laughed.

“umm…did you just ask us to get condoms…?” Cassidy laughed.
“No I did not…Nick!! I wouldn’t pay for those anyway…” Becca rolled her eyes.
“Why not? You need them too now anyw….” Nick replied but immediately shut his mouth when Becca’s mouth fell open. Brian spun around and looked threateningly at Nick.
“Ok well we’d better get going….Nick??” Cassidy said, quickly taking Nick’s hand and walking off. Nick looked back nervously at Brian.
Becca saw Nick and laughed.
“You’re laughing…always a good sign…” Brian looked at Becca worriedly.
“Yeah…He didn’t mean anything by it….” Becca said reaching for Brian’s hand as they walked down the aisle.
“Yeah…he’s harmless like that….he’s a dipshit…but harmless…” Brian laughed.

“you think Becca’s pissed??” Nick asked Cassidy.
“At you? Oh yeah!” Cassidy grinned.
“Gee…thanks…” Nick mumbled.
“She’ll get over it…come on…do you know what we have to get?” Cassidy asked.
“Ummm….Fruit and Veggies, meat and umm something else….” Nick furrowed his brow.
“You’re so cute when you do that!” Cassidy grinned.
“What?…This??” Nick replied and pulled the funniest face she’d ever seen.
“Omigod….no, you just look deformed now…” Cassidy laughed.
“You know you love it…now lets get some food already!” Nick replied as they came to the Fruit and Veg section.
“Nick picked up an apple and twirled it in his hand, “Hey Cass! Think quick…” He threw the apple straight at her. Cassidy turned quickly and caught the apple from the air.
“Don’t underestimate an aussie girl who’s played netball all her life!” Cassidy grinned.
“Netball?” Nick asked as he put some pears in a bag.
“Yeah…it’s kinda like basketball, but you don’t move you’re feet or dribble the ball when you catch it…” Cassidy explained.
“Cool…..” Nick replied.

“Ok…..so what else have we gotta get?” Brian asked as he trailed Becca with a basket.
“Icecream…..” Becca grinned.
“Ooo what kind?” Brian came up behind her.
“Chocolate chip or Caramel swirl…..Rocky road……” He whispered into Becca’s ear.
Becca giggled. “I think the Backstreet Boys should have their own brand of Icecream…”
Brian hugged her a little tighter.
“Why? You can eat me anytime you want….” He whispered.
“Chocolate chip? Sounds good!” Becca laughed and reached into the freezer trying to ignore the strange looks her and Brian were receiving from three elderly ladies further down the aisle.

“Ok, onto the meat section….” Nick said, once again pushing Cassidy on the front of their trolley.
“Now on you’re right we have you’re frankfuts….kabana, cheerios, salami and you’re polish salami…” Cassidy said in her best tour guide voice.
Nick had the biggest grin on his face when Cassidy reached up for their ticket and they took their place in the queue.
“What the hell are you grinning at??” Cassidy laughed.
“What? You’re telling me you don’t even think about it….” His grin broke again.
“Think about what?” Cassidy replied clueless.
“When you’re in this section…” He continued.
“The sausage section…what? Ohhhh….” Cassidy clicked on and Nick burst out laughing.
“You’re so mature Nick!!” Cassidy swiped him on the arm.
“So…what? It doesn’t even, cross you’re mind??” Nick lowered his voice a little.
“No! I’m glad I know what you remind yourself of every time you see little red cheerios….” Cassidy teased.
“Shhh….” Nick elbowed Cassidy embarrassed, as a middle aged woman gave them dirty looks. Cassidy laughed and ordered her meat.
“Ok where to next….” She asked placing it into the trolley.
“Ummm I think Becca said something about ummm sanitary somethings?!” Nick said confused.
“Huh…Ohh ok gotcha…..follow me…” Cassidy said smiling.

“Awww….they don’t have it…” Becca pouted as she looked at the hundreds of various bottles in front of them.
“Than get another type! It’s only shampoo!” Brian laughed.
“Fine….but it’s not the same…” Becca said taking a bottle off the shelve.
“Come here…” Brian said pulling Becca close and kissing her. “Now what else do we have to get?” He asked sweetly.
“Ummm cereal…” Becca smiled.
“Come on then…” Brian said taking her hand in his. Rebecca laughed as she saw Nick follow Cassidy down the female sanitary aisle.

“Ohh….I get it now…” Nick laughed.
“You’re not wielded out?” Cassidy asked.
“I have three sisters….” Nick replied.
“Very cool…hmmmm….such a selection today…” Cassidy said thoughtfully as she turned back to the shelves. Nick picked up a leopard print box and made a lion roar.
“Nick!!” Cassidy laughed grabbing the box off him.
“What!?” Nick grinned.
“These are kinda cool…” Cassidy admitted inspecting the box.
“Some for Becca?” He asked.
“Yeah….” Cassidy laughed throwing the box of tampons into the trolley.

“Hmmm…which one do you suggest?” Becca asked looking at the many breakfast cereals.
“Coco puffs do?!” Brian grinned taking a box.
“Yep…” Becca said reaching for the box.
“Cause we’re delicious and nutritious and covered in chocolaty goodness…” Brian said in a funny voice from behind the Coco Puff box. Becca laughed as she began tickling Brian for the box which he was now holding above his head.
“Mommy….I want some of those…” A little boy pointed to the cereal Brian was holding.
“Come on Billy…” “The boys mom pulled him away.
Becca laughed again. “Come on Captain Coco Puff….let’s find Cass and Nick…”
“Awww….ok,” Brian pouted and put the cereal into their basket.
“Oh wait…” Becca stopped and smirked.
“What??” Brian asked.
“How many boxes of Jelly crystals do you reckon we would need to fill a kiddie wading pool??” Becca said picking up a box.
Brian grinned. “You’re never gonna do it Bec…” He shook his head.
“I will! One day I shall swim in the jelly!!” Becca vowed looked at the boxes of crystals longingly.
“You don’t even have a wading pool!” Brian replied.
“Ah!! You’re wrong! We bought one!” Becca squealed excitedly and told him the story.

“Faster!!” Cassidy said as Nick pushed her around on the trolley.
“Ok let’s find Bec and Brian…” Nick said.
“Oh shit! Stop Nick!” Cassidy gasped.
Nick stopped the trolley a few centimeters away from a display of Coco puffs.
“Hey Becca…” Cassidy grinned sheepishly.
“Cassidy!! You’re gonna kill someone I swear..” Becca laughed.
“Have you two got everything?” Brian asked as they walked towards the checkout.
“Of course…” She looked at Nick and he shrugged.

“You guys wanna come to our place for lunch?” Cassidy asked, wrapping her arms around Nick’s waist.
“Sure..” The guys nodded as they got into the car.
“What’s for lunch??” Nick asked as they put all the groceries away.
“Umm…” Becca looked at Cassidy.
“Pasta bake?” Cassidy suggested.
“Mmm sounds good…” Nick grinned.
“Where’s Brian?” Cassidy asked poking her head into the loungeroom.
Becca laughed. “I think he’s looking for our wading pool!”
“What? You have a wading pool??” Nick asked confused.
“Out on the balcony…” Cassidy laughed.
“Awesome!!” Nick laughed as he walked onto the girls balcony and saw the blue pool.
“I say we eat lunch in the pool!!” Nick grinned widely.
