Realistic or Modern I need more than your Photograph

He raised his hands as a promise. “I’m a smoker not an idiot.” He told her, making a face when she said they are the same thing just getting in his rental car and following her back to her apartment, completely unaware the two weeks of lockdown were going to be a lot longer than originally planned

 

[Forever6A7X]

Two weeks had passed in a flash. Things were awkward to say the least but it was working for now. She sighed softly though when she turned on the new seeing that the state had gone into full lockdown. She got up from her bed and made her way to the living room glancing at Joseph who was busy reading over lines "The state is in lockdown...which means there is no more production. Just about everywhere is closed so your best bet is to stay here instead of finding somewhere."

 

[decadent-rider]

He looked up when she came in, just pulling his sheets over him a little more. “I thought we agreed that you would knock…” he mumbled. “Uh… yeah I was just reading an email from the guy I was gonna rent from ,.. No moving house allowed at present.” He mumbled, rubbing his face. “Guess you got your wish after all. Me moved in with you in the states.” He mumbled a little grumpy after being stuck inside for two weeks straight

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod as she listened to him "Not like I haven't seen it all before." She murmured but sighed "But I'm sorry for not knocking." She said before sipping at her drink. She glared in his direction at his comment about moving in and slammed her cup on the table "Not like I fucking wanted you here right now." She muttered as she took off back to her room and slammed the door shut

 

[decadent-rider]

He sighed heavily getting up and dressed before going to slip a note under her door saying sorry he was just grumpy and went to get himself some breakfast, rubbing at his face a little, seeing her eventually come out again. “I’ll go do a grocery shop today, let me know what you want.” He told her quietly, nodding to the coffee. “There’s one cup left.” He mumbled going to put his bed away to make it a couch for the day time

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned when she heard a knock at her door and then saw a piece of paper slide under. She opened it and gave a heavy sigh seeing him apology. They had been like this since the begining, one of them saying an off hand nasty comment and then apologizing after. She was growing tired of it and just wanted things to be right with him and not this awkward hostility. Shw walked out later finding him making coffee and shook her head "No thank you, I'm alright." She said before pulling out her little notebook that she kept grocery lists in "Here, I already have a list." She said handing it over to him "I can go with you if you'd like, get us both out of here."

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded a little and watched her. “Alright but we have to go in separately. They were refusing entry last week to couples.” He told her, going to write up his own list as well. “Hey you wanna see if I can get that VPN set up? So you can get the British shows on your Netflix?” He asked her

 

[Forever6A7X]

She frowned some but gave a small nod "Alright then." She murmured before giving a small nod "Yeah sure, I'd like to see what other stuff they have." She said before going to sit on the couch watching him and giggling quietly when she noticed his tongue sticking out in concentration as he wrote his list.

 

[decadent-rider]

He raised an eyebrow and eventually looked up at her. “What are you laughing at?” He asked her, sticking it next to his keys once he was done and got up to go take a shower

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max quickly stopped herself and smiled a bit at him "Oh nothing." Shs said before turning her attention to turning on the TV while he went to shower. She put on a random show and just half watched it while she zoned out a bit just thinking over things.

 

[decadent-rider]

He came out with the towel around his waist still dripping wet after he was done. “All free in there.” He told her quietly smiling some as he headed to get changed in the lounge.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max jumped slightly at the sound of his voice. She went a bit wide eyed when she saw him "Oh...I..okay.." she stuttered out before quickly gettimg up and trying to avert her eyes from him as she walked past him to the restroom

 

[decadent-rider]

He got dried off and changed, going to sit down and wait for her, leaning back whike he tried to work out the VPN for her laptop.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max came out a bit later and quickly went to her room to change. She walked out and sat next to him leaning close to look at when he was doing on her laptop "Did you figure it out?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded and showed her after he logged out of his email. “I was just printing off my script as well. Couldn’t connect my computer to your printer.l he muttered, handing the laptop over to her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max nodded some and gave a small laugh "Yeah it can be finicky at times." She murmured before looking over the new things she could watch "Are any of your shows on here?" She asked while scrolling through not even looking at him

 

[decadent-rider]

He rolled his eyes and watched her. “I don’t know. Can we go? Cause I need snacks and we don’t have any.” He muttered. “Or anything to make a martini.” He told her frowning as he picked up his keys

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max rolled her eyes at his haste but quickly closed her laptop "Fine lets go, but you do know that you can't buy the alcohol needed for a martini in a normal grocery store right? You'll need to go to the liquor store." She explained while she got her shoes on.

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned. “What? Please tell me the liquor stores are open.” He muttered just wanting a drink after the chaos of the last month.

 

[Forever6A7X]

She shrugged some as she grabbed her purse "I'm not sure, but there is one down the way from the store, so we can check." She said before heading out with him. About an hour later they were back in the apartment and she was putting things away. She watched as he sat on the couch happily munching on the snacks he had bought "Do you want some lunch? I could make us something."

 

[decadent-rider]

He looked over at her with a mouth full of food and shook his head. “I’m good. I picked up some salmon. I was gonna do salmon with mash and beans tonight… what the fuck is that powder stuff at the store for mashed potatoes?” He muttered

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max laughed some at him and gave a nod "They're called instant potatoes. No I don't know why people like them. They're for convenience." She said already knowing the answers to his follow up questions "Some aren't terrible, but most are." She explained before putting the last of the things away.

 

[decadent-rider]

“That. Is disgusting. Just boil some taters and mash em. Bi’ o’ butter and you’re done.” He muttered shaking his head some and turning the tv on.

 

[Forever6A7X]

She laughed as she sat next to him and nodded softly "Mhmm, ooo or put some garlic and chicken broth? Delicious." She said laughing again as he made a face "I'm gonna make you some and you'll change your mind." She said before she noticed how close she was to him. Quickly she put some distance between them before tying her hair up "So what are you putting on?"

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head making a face. “Ruin everything good about food over here.” He muttered. “Uh I don’t know yet. Gimme a second.” He mumbled, undoing the first few buttons on his shirt now they were back in the flat, his chain sticking out
