A few minutes later, Alex walked up with the shopping cart. I started getting out of the car to help. "Stay in there." He said laughing. I laughed and sat back down. I closed the door and started laughing even harder. I popped the trunk and he loaded the food. He got in the car. "That was crazy." He said.
"I talked to Goose." I said laughing.
"Good. Man, I hope that never happens again." He said laguing. There was a knock on the passanger window, and we both jumped. I rolled it down and it was Mrs. Murphy. "Alex, you forgot your turkey at the check out!" She said, handind it to him. She saw me, and her smile dropped.
"You two know each other?" She asked.
"Uh, kind of." Alex said.
"He knows my father. I'm just giving Alex a ride while he waits for his rental." I lied.
"Oh I see. But in there..." She trailed off.
"We didn't want you to think anything weird was going on." Alex said.
"Oh, I see. Well, bye. I hope you feel better Alex." She said.
"Me too. Bye Margarit." Alex said. She waved and walked away. I don't think she quite believed us.
"Wow." I said.
"Yeah. Nice story. I couldn't think of what to say." Alex said, and then we both started laughing.
"Let's go before we run into anyone else." He said.
I pulled out of the spot and drove off.
"Now I'm freaking out." He said, "Now I am thinking it is probably good that we broke up."
"What?" I asked.
"Well, it is. Isn't it? I mean look how close that was." He said.
"Yeah. I it was." I sighed.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing." I said, smiling unconvicingly.
"Ally. Something is wrong." He said. I didn't say anything. I just drove him home, and helped get the groceries inside.
"You don't have to stay if you don't want to." He said.
"I'll help you put everything away." I said.
I helped him carry the groceries inside and put it all away. "I'll see you around I guess." I said.
"So, you're not going to fulfill my needs?" He asked smiling.
"No, Alex." I said.
He just nodded looking disapointed.
"Sorry." I said, "Like we said before, it's probably best we don't get involved whether we want to or not."
Again, he just nodded. "See ya." I said smiling and left.
