Made in the USA

I lied down on my bed just as my phone buzzed. I groaned and stretched my hand to reach for it. The phone decided to fall against my face, so after making a face and glaring at my phone I unlocked it and raised an eyebrow. I didn’t recognize this area code. Oh yea…I should probably open it.

“Hey it’s Brandon”
I smiled and replied.
“Hey”
My phone dinged and I smiled.
“What are you doing?”
“I am laying in my bed being lazy” I replied to him.
I got up and locked my door. I jumped on my bed and looked at my phone.
“Lucky I wish I was in bed right now”
I smiled
“Well that’s what you get for being a hockey player hotshot ;)”
He replied pretty quickly.
“Haha of course”
I smiled.
“So tell me about yourself Brandon?” I replied to him.
“Well what do you want to know?”
“How about 20 questions?” I asked him.
“Sure you start”
I opened my laptop and typed in his name.
“Hometown?”
“Pittsburgh”
“Nice city nice” I replied.
He replied back quick.
“What city do you call home?”
“Well LA I guess, but I live in Bell Gardens” I replied to him.

I got up when I heard a knock.
“Who is it?” I asked.
“Laura”
“What do you want?” I asked.
“I need a dress”
“Then buy some or get a job” I said.
“I’m telling mom”
“I’ll tell her you want to wear my dresses and how you dirty them and don’t even wash them” I said.
I smiled when I didn’t hear noise.

I looked at my phone and he was telling me it was my turn to ask a question.
“Ok here is a tough one…. favorite Disney movie?”’
“That’s a hard one but ill go with Lion King”

I smiled and cracked my neck. The door opened and Mason came in.

“Hey” he said locking the door.
He jumped on my bed and he closed his eyes.
“You are so going to miss your bed” he mumbled.
I laughed and I heard another knock.

“I need your keys”
“You aren’t touching my car’ I said.
“Well move it!”
Mason stuck his hand out and I handed him my keys. He got up and walked out. I looked at my phone and I smiled.

“Favorite color?”
“Hand’s down Purple”
“I figured haha”
I smiled and he texted me a question.

“Italian or Mexican?”
“I am Half Mexican, so Mexican”
“Nice”
I smiled.
“thank you and family BG?”
“Mom’s Polish, Dad is Syrian”
“That is so cool!”
“haha thanks. You?”
“Dad’s Mexican, Mom’s Irish” I replied.
“So that explains why you know Spanish haha. You were talking Spanish with your coworker right?”
I smiled.
“Yes it does and yea I was.” I replied.

“Ok then sunny or rainy days?”
“That’s a hard one. Rainy days I like doing nothing”

I smiled and replied.
“Like your answer”
“Hot Chocolate or Coffee?”
I smiled.

“Hands down Hot Chocolate….with Marshmallows” I replied.

“What is your opinion on tall people with big noses?”

I raised an eyebrow and a text came in.

“sorry they got my phone”
I smiled.
“Well ill still answer that question. You don’t date people cause of their looks you date them because you are attracted to them emotionally. Looking good is just a bonus” I replied.
“They liked your answer”
I smiled.
“Tell them it came from the bottom of my heart”
My phone buzzed and I answered.
“Hello” I said.
“Hey”
I smiled and leaned on my pillow.
“Hey yourself” I said.
“So what are you doing?”

The door opened and I looked at the ceiling.
“Nothing, literally I’m just laying down” I said.
Mason jumped on my bed and closed his eyes.
“Give me a second Brandon” I said.
“uh ok?
“Mason you’re going to fall” I said.
“I am n- Woah!”

I rolled my eyes as I heard a thud.

“told you” I said.
He jumped back on my bed and closed his eyes.

“Sorry continue” I said.
He laughed and I smiled.
“You just got out of work?” he asked.
“Yea like an hour ago” I said.
“Who knew making drinks would be so hard” I added dramatically.
I heard people laugh and I smiled.
“You got me on speaker don’t you?” I asked.
“Shawzy put you on speaker.
“Hi!”
I smiled and rubbed my forehead.

“so what are you doing later on”

Mason opened his eyes and snatched the phone away from me.
“She’s doing nothing. Probably burying me later on though” Mason said as he pushed me away.
“You should take her out. She get’s kinda boring after a while though. Just sits down in her room and reads” he said rolling his eyes.
“Mason” I warned.
Mason smiled and nodded.

“You should taker her out on a date” Mason said.

He laughed and nodded
“Ok then ill send her to you” he said.
He hung up and looked at me.
“You can continue 20 questions with him later on” he said.
I hit him and he smiled.
“You’re welcome” he told me.
“No because now I have to change” I said hitting his shoulder.
“I love the doorknob” he mumbled.
I smiled and leaned back on him.
“I know I love my disappearing doorknob” I said.
“Dad said it was fine since that creep my sister calls her baby’s daddy tried to get into my room” I said.
He nodded and looked at me.
“What’s going to happen when you leave?” he asked.
I looked at him.
“It stays locked” I said.
He nodded and smiled.

“How did you result so nice? Your brother is Satan himself and your sister the she-devil” he said

I shrugged and stood up.
“Well help me pick out a dress since you oh so kindly got me a date” I said.
“Hey he’s a good guy” he said.
“He’s a rookie and well if he’s interested” he said winking.
I rolled my eyes and he got up.
“Keep it casual” he said looking through my closet.
