Through the Screen novel Chapter 5

"hey noah, i'm at the grocery store do you need anything?"

"what? what are you doing at the grocery store, it's like four o'clock,"

"yeah, not too much work today so i thought i could come home earlier, and make dinner and stuff,"

"not too much work huh? you mean you just kept procrastinating so you took a half day?" noah teased and abel could feel his cheeks flush as he shook his head.

"shut up lester, tell me if you need anything from the store or i'm hanging up,"

"i swear to god, you take advantage of your poor boss, he's just too lenient,"

"excuse me! he loves my work, i am his favourite employee," abel boasted, and noah laughed lightly from the other side, his laugh muffled due to loud chatter in the background.

"sure, sure," noah rolled his eyes, his mood uplifting slightly at the fact that abel would be home early for once.

"anyways, could you just buy a packet of marshmallows for adrian, because you know how he complains when there's none in his hot chocolate. and yeah, buy some detergent too, it's almost finished from the last time i did laundry," noah explained, running his mind to come up with anything else that they needed.

"okay," abel nodded. "chris! grab some marshmallows and the liquid detergent," chris just gave abel a small smile before pushing their cart along the food aisle, dropping in a packet of marshmallows.

"chris? why is he with you?"
