Chapter 34
"Seth?"I ask.
"Yeah?"He replies leaning back on the seat.
"What are you gonna be for Halloween?"I ask him turning around.
"I think I'm gonna be a Zombie."He says.
"Do you actually know how to do face paint and all that?"I ask.
"Nope, No clue."He laughs, Opening his door and waiting for me.
"I'll do it for you."I laugh.
"Thanks Em."He laughs."What are you dressing up as Dean?"
"A Zombie Cowboy."Dean coughs awkwardly.
"Cool."Seth says as we stop at one of the stores.
"First, We need a crap tonne of decorations."I explain.
"How much is a Crap Tonne?"Dean asks holding my hand as we walk into the store.
"A lot."I say walking straight to the Decoration section."Why the hell do they already have Christmas stuff?!"I say loudly looking over to Dean who laughs.
"Is this good?"Seth says holding up some slightly childish but vey cute bat garlands.
"Yeah, That's adorable."I laugh as he throws it in the cart
I pick out some balloons with bloody handprints on them and some balloons that have 'Happy Halloween' written on them.
"Hey Em?"Dean calls me over.
"Yeah."I say walking over to him and inspecting some fake spiderwebs.
"What do you think?"He asks Passing the packet,Which I inspect. But really how am I meant to know If it was good or not? Who am I? The damn web police?
"Great, Put them in the trolley."I say acting like I knew what I was doing.
"What's a trolley?"He laughs.
"A shopping cart."I blush.
"Who calls a Shopping cart a Trolley?"Seth laughs, walking back over.
"British People."I say walking over and looking at some more hanging decorations."Dean?"
"Yeah."He says standing next to me.
"Should we buy this?"I ask pulling out a grim reaper and looking at it.
"What is it?"He asks looking confused.
"You hang it on the wall or something..."I explain.
"Do you really want it?"He asks looking quite uncertain.
"Yeah."I say putting it in the cart.
We choose some final decorations and head to the checkout area.
"Hi."I say to the checkout lady.
"Hi, How's your day going?"She asks scanning our items.
"Pretty good, We're doing our Halloween shopping today, so."I explain.
"Yeah, I can tell. Do you have any special plans?"She laughs, Scanning the items one by one.
"Well, I'm planning a party."I say, Listening to the beeps of the scanner.
"That's nice."She says scanning the final item."That will be $102.11."
I pull out my purse and take out my credit card and pay.
"Thanks!"I say walking out of the store and holding his hand as we walk over to the car.
"Em, You just spent $100 on Halloween decorations."Dean sighs, Disapprovingly opening the door to the car and putting in the bags.
"I know Dean."I sigh."It's not like I'm gonna throw them away after, I'm gonna keep them."
Dean looks over at Seth "Still, $100 is still a lot to spend on decorations."Seth sighs.
"Oh well.."I say as Dean starts the car and we head home.

We walk up the path and open the door slowly, Expecting to catch Roman and Vicky doing something... embarrassing and awkward.
"Romes?!"Dean calls, Walking in and through the hallway into the kitchen.
"Yo."Roman says opening the door from outside.
"What are you doing?"Dean asks staring at the wet Roman.
"I was in the pool."He says wrapping a towel around himself.
"Its October."Dean laughs.
"It's heated..."Roman says sarcastically and quickly walks off and heads upstairs.
"Romes, Where's Vix?"I shout up to him.
"In the pool!"He shouts back, walking back to the landing.
"So, You two were having some steamy pool bonding time?"I laugh.
"Oh Piss off."Roman laughs, Clearly embarrassed.
"Seth, Could you get Vicky?"I ask, pouting at him.
"Yeah."Seth sighs, Rolling his eyes and slowly walking outside.
Dean and I unpack the decorations while Roman put on some clothes and Seth returns with Vicky.
"Hey guys."Vicky says wrapped in a towel, Hugging me with wet arms.
"Ew, Go put some clothes on you weirdo."I laugh, Pushing her off gently.
She heads upstairs and after a while returns down with a smiling Roman.
"While you two were having some steamy bonding time, We got the decorations and all that."I explain as I put the last of the decorations on the big glass table.
"Are we gonna decorate today?"Vicky asks, scanning her eyes over the mass of decorations.
"Yes."I say throwing some garlands at her."Put some of those up in here."
"You two help me outside."I say pointing to Dean and Seth.
"What am I doing?"Roman asks leaning against the wall, His hair clearly still very wet.
"You. Help your girlfriend."I laugh.
Vicky blushes and Roman sighs.
I wink at Vicky before heading back down the hallway and joining the guys outside.
"Seth can you set up the reaper over there?"I ask him.
"Yeah."He says picking it up and taking it out of the packet."So, Are Roman and Vicky actually together?"
"Not yet."I sigh,"But it's obvious that they want to be."
"Yeah."Dean sighs passing me some fake spiderwebs.
"Hey, Can you lift me?"I ask him.
"Yeah."He says kneeling down,"Get on my shoulders." I send him and uneasy look before eventually agreeing to get on his shoulders.
"Don't drop me."I warn him as I climb on.
He stands up and I place spiderwebs around the windows, above the door and on the knocker.
"Does that look okay?"I ask and he lifts me over his head and puts me down."Thanks."
"You're welcome."He smiles, kissing my forehead gently."It looks great."
"Em, Come over here."Seth calls excitedly. He was such a child sometimes, Which was probably part of the reason we got along so well.
"Coming."I sigh, walking over to see the reaper he'd set up.
"Is that good?"He asks.
"Yeah, That looks amazing."I smile.
"That thing is massive."Dean says wrapping his arms around me and hugging me from behind.
"That's what she said."I laugh quietly.
"Don't get too excited, I meant the reaper thing."He smirks, laughing.
We set up some tombstones and glowing skulls on the lawn and the decking before heading back inside to check on Roman and Vicky.
"How's it going."I say walking into the kitchen.
"Good."Vicky says sitting down and eating MY sour gummies.
"Hey!"I say walking over to her and grabbing my candy."Stop stealing my food."
She moans,"You're so mean."
"Well, I think we're about done."I smile sitting up on the counter.
Vicky sends me a death stare,"Meanie."
"You wanna go mate. 1V1 me in 2k."I say jumping off the counter and walking into the living room and turning on the X-Box and putting in the WWE 2K16 disc.
Vicky enters the room,"I'm gonna kick your ass."
I laugh, Scrolling through the characters and choosing Dean. She does the same and chooses none the than Mr.Reigns himself. I send her a smirk and she rolls her eyes.
I end up winning with Dirty Deeds and she groans loudly.
"Well."I smile,"I think you need to take back your 'I'm gonna kick your ass'."
"Whatever..."She smiles
"So you accept defeat?"I smile.
"Yeah."She says.
I walk into the kitchen."Dean?"
"Yeah?"He says as I walk over to him and wrap my arms around him.
"Can we go out and get dinner?"I ask him.
"Sure. Go ask Roman if He's coming."He says, kissing me on the forehead. I smile and turn walking up the stairs slowly.
"Romes?"I call knocking on the door.
"Come in."He says and I open the door and sit on his bed.
"Are you gonna come for dinner with everyone?"I ask.
He walks out and grabs a shirt for the closet."Yeah. Where are we going?"
"What do you fancy?"I ask, Playing with a string on my shirt.
"Nando's?"He says slipping on the shirt and sitting next to me.
I sigh, Standing up slowly,"One sec."I walk out of the door,"Dean?!"I call, leaning over the rail.
"Yeah?"He says.
"Can we go to Nando's?"I ask.
"What does Romes think?"He says walking into the hallway.
"Romes, Wants to go."I say.
"Fine. We can go wherever."He says, Grabbing his wallet and heading out to the car.
"Romes, Are you nearly ready?"I ask walking back into Roman's room.
"Yeah, Is everyone else?"He asks.
"Everyone's in the car."I say.
"Let's go then." He says grabbing his phone, shoving it in his pocket and walking down the stairs.
