"Mom?" Benji called when we got there. No answer. "She must have worked late at work again." He said and we went to the kitchen for a drink.
"Billy you want juice, milk, or water?" I though a second.
"Juice." I replied.
"Cranberry, Orange, or Grape?" He asked me back.
"Grape." I said.
"Warm, iced, or--"
"Jesus, Benji. Just give him the juice." Joel said and we all laughed. Benji walked over and handed Joel his cup then me mine but when I reached up our hands bumped and I somehow wound up with grape juice all down the front of me.
"Shit!" I yelled.
"Sorry!" Benji apologized quickly and ran to get a towel.
"That... definately... was iced." I said laughing. The drink was spilled down my shirt and pants.
"Eh. Sticky." I said.
"Come on, you can jump in the shower." Joel said just as Benji returned with a towel. 'thanks' Joel said as he took the towel from benji and handed it to me.
"Joel showed me to the bathroom and told me when I was done he'd be in his room just next door. I quickly took a shower, rinsed, and got out, not wanting to use much of their water. I dried off and combed my hair only to realize that I had no clothes.
I sighed and walked to Joel's room while wearing only the towel. I closed my eyes and knocked on his door. He yelled for me to come in and I opened them and slowly pulled his door open.
"Uhh... Joel?" I asked nervously. He was about to ask me what was wrong when he realized.
"Ohh. Right. You want to just wear some of my clothes or I can run to your house for you and--"
"NO!" I shouted. He jumped. "No. My parents are home and they aren't exactly.." I trailed off. He nodded.
"Well, you can wear some of my clothes and we can wash your. I guess that just means you'll have to stay a bit longer." He said with a grin. I laughed and nodded.
