Sorry for not posting in ages hoping to start doing it more frequently now.
"roxy..."
I dont know how long we were stood there frozen just looking at each other trying to take it all thing i know i feel her hand slap me hard across the face as i looked back up at her she had tears in her eyes, before i could even get a word out she hugged me so hard i didnt want her to let go and wrapping my arms around her i hugged back with equal strength.
"why are you back?i honestly thought i wouldnt see you again!"she told me in a calm voice as she pulled back and wiped the tears from her eyes, laughing at herself for crying.
"Thought or hoped?"i asked putting my finger under her chin and raising it so i could look her in the eye as i used the sleeve of my shirt to wipe away any spilt tears.
"i dunno" she laughed "both?"
"never were any good at making decisions were you!" i replied joining in her nervous laughter."me and stace are back and lily obviously... i know you probably dont want her here after archie but we needed to come home rox..."
"its ok i think i owe her an apology really, ron told me he did the same thing to her when we were kids, guess as usual i was too dumb to put the peices together really"she to change the subject she snatched my shopping list and read mums ingredients"AHh jeans famous sausage suprise i see and you lucky hahaha" she stated as she laughed knowing full well i was sick of eating the stuff last time i was in the square but to be honest id even started to miss that when we were out in spain.
"yeah yeah dont be laughing at me mitchell or ill have to inform mum of our little meeting and how jealous you were over not having any of it and shell be over with leftovers before you know it" i mock threatened, it was nice to be able to joke with her like this phone started buzzing in my pocket, it was stace wondering how long itd be before i came back and saves her from mum hahaha shooting off a quick reply saying wouldnt be long and i bumped into a old friend. I looked back up at roxy and gav her an apologetic smile "just stace, listen i should really be getting back with these ingredients before mums head explodes haha, how do you fancy having a drink in the vic tonight?no pressure just a casual catch up between husband and wife after 6 years"i joked which thankfully earned me a smile and a nodd.
"yeah that actually sounds great and i could really do with a drink today" she smiled the gave me a quick hug "say bout 7?" she more told me than asked as she paid for her items and gave me a quick wave over her shoulder as she left the store
I smiled and quickly gathered the rest off the items on mums list, paid and walked home quickly.
"back!" i announced as i walked through the door,mum and stace came out and mum took the bags off of me the smile still beaming off her face as she looked at me, probably thought i wasnt coming back, it wouldnt exactly be out of character for me to do that.
"so how is she?"stace asked me with a knowing smirk.
"hows who?" i asked playing dumb but i couldnt control the smirk creeping on my face.
"Roxy!No offence but you dont exactly have any other 'old friends' around here"
"haha oh cheers sis and she seems fine, were gonna go for a drink later and properly catch up and before you ask i told her your back too and she said she doesnt mind she knows you were telling the truth about archie now so its all good!"I told her clear relief went over her face at the last comment and she smiled hugging me
"good, how long do you think we can make it in walford this time without one of us getting arrested this time?" she joked to which we both laughed and uncle charlie shouted us to come back n the room for a catchup as mum cooked.
Well thats all for this one i know its short but im rusty for ideas really.
