‘‘ do not even think about judging my netflix streams while you’re over here eating dumplings like it’s going to out of style, ’’ she stated before flicking pieces of hair out of her face, not even attempting to move away from the male as he sat next to her, tilting her head towards him to look at his face during their conversation. ‘‘ just because you’ve managed to become someone that i talk to on a regular basis, do not think i won’t fuckin’ smack you. ’’ she said with a warning before reaching for the bag filled with chow mein. ‘‘ cute that you think i actually go for runs. i’d love to teach you yoga one day, though. i think i’ll get in enough laughs for the new decade watching that. ’’

“Hey! They could be going out of style! The earth is dying, haven’t you heard?” Manpreet chuckled. “Oh I know you’ll smack me, but I’ve been smacked a lot- that I think I may be immune to pain- how else can I manage to be here day in and day out,” he chuckled. He could tell he was wearing her down- although he still hadn’t ripped off the bandaid to ask her out yet. He was tough, but he also was not prepared for rejection. “See- you almost had me, but I deny being the source of your entertainment in that way.”

she hated it , hated how her stomach turned the moment he talked to her & how easily the smile formed on her face. she hated the idea of actually being wanted , after going years of feeling unwanted , of blaming herself for her mother being left alone due to her father leaving. ‘‘ yeah , you did. ross was just about to tell rachel that he slept with the hot girl from the copier place. ’’ she said in a sarcastic tone as she closed the door with a small chuckle echoing around them , turning towards the male. ‘‘ do you eat anything other than dumplings and chow mein ? i do have a body to uphold , you know. i don’t have the money to buy new jeans. ’’

“Friends? I interrupted Friends? The oldest show you have seen at least a dozen times! I am so sorry!” He remarked sarcastically. Manpreet settled in on the couch across from her, he needed to be out of arms length of the woman. “There are other food groups? Who knew. I mean I do eat at home sometimes, but a man can get tired of roti,” he shrugged. “We can go on a run after?”

she hated herself for knowing who was on the other side of the door prior to opening it , and hated herself even more for being excited about it. taking a deep breath , joy pulled her black locks into a messy ponytail behind her head prior to opening the door. ‘‘ so is this our thing now ? just showing up at my house despite me not answering your text message ? ’’ she had no excuse for not answering , other than trying to uphold her cold exterior towards the male. although he managed to make a warm feeling within the pit of her stomach when he was around , willing to take her harsh comments and sit in absolute silence as if it wasn’t boring for him ; she couldn’t bring herself to allow a full break down of her walls that were around her. stepping to the side , she allowed the male to enter the small apartment. ‘‘ anything specific you’re here for ? ’’

“Oh- wait don’t tell me, you hate things?” Manpreet chuckled. He had become used to Joy being the antonym for her actual name, but he liked to believe he was wearing her down. She was the first person he met when she basically called him a dork- and he’s appreciated her presence ever since. He followed her into her place, like he had done many times before. “Please, please, please tell me I was interrupting something and that’s why you couldn’t answer the basic questions of dumplings or chow mein?”

“Wipe —– the fucking smirk off your face before I do it for you,” the words came out easily for the blonde, her own small smirk on her glossed lips as her arms crossed over her stomach, weight being distributed between her left and right leg as her heels began to make the pressure build in her ankles. “I’m fully capable of faking nice when necessary. Would you rather me stop faking it? I could totally make a scene if you’d rather.” @manpreet-singhs

Manpreet frowned, he was smarter than that to smirk or show any form of triumph when it came to Joy. She was tough but he liked her- and she was one of the very few people he knew in California. “I’m smarter than to smirk in your presence, and I do like my lips where they are,” he grinned. “A scene is not necessary, let’s get some food in you.”

It was the part of being unwanted that stuck in the back of the girls head, she watched her mother sob in bathrooms for hours because she’d be dumped over having a daughter, although her mother had always showed her nothing but love and affection. “Don’t get excited, still have plenty of time to smack you,” she said quietly before finishing off the egg roll in her possession, raising an eyebrow at this question before taking the controller out of his hand. “I’m competitive, and I never lose.”

“I’ll keep my guard up then,” he said grabbing another controller and set up the game. “Somehow the thought of you being competitive isn’t a surprise. Did you play any sports in high school?”

I never wanted to kiss someone who was glaring at me until I met you.

It was a question she had been asked so many times in the past – even Atlas not knowing her reasons behind the attitude she managed to hold to many people, Sophie being the only one that remotely remembered how hard it hit Joy to find out about her father. “Rawr?” She muttered with another eyebrow raise but managed to keep the comments to herself as stated beforehand. “My dad left when my mom refused to get an abortion, I didn’t find out until I was about fourteen and I went to go see him only to be told he never wanted me. Shitty past and all that shit, since that day I kept people at a distance,” she said with a shrug, refusing to make eye contact as she began to pick at the outer coating on her egg roll.

Manpreet nodded listening to her talk, makes sense. A little cliched in his opinion and definitely not something that would make shut down the world around him for so long but he understood everyone reacted different. “Thanks for not hitting me,” he said jokingly to lighten the thick tension in the room that was present now. He put down his container of food and grabbed a controller. “How are you at Mario Kart?”

Nodding her head, she finally managed to move her way over to the couch, resting herself on the other side of it, giving herself the personal space she always craved. Turning her head to look over at him, her eyebrow raised as she swallowed the mouthful of egg roll she managed to stuff between her lips. “That’s a big request, but I suppose I can try my best.”

Even though there was some space between them already, he shifted a bit farther from her because he wasn’t sure if she would stick to what he requested. “You just seem so very- rawr. Guarded. I’m just wondering why?”

No one was more shocked than Joy by her own actions. Unless it was to satisfy her needs with Atlas or rush to Sophie’s side, Joy rarely left the house to see anyone else, but for some odd reason she managed to find herself in the male’s pace, holding onto the bag of egg rolls. “I have,” she muttered as she dug into the bag. “But nothing seems more ironic than Joy.”

"That’s true, I suppose,” he said taking a bite into his own egg roll. Manpreet debated hard on his next question, hoping he wasn’t going to get knocked in the head. “Can I ask you something without a sassy remark and getting decked in the head?”

“—I’m only here for the egg rolls, so hand them over, bub.”

“Of course,” he said toss one of the smaller bags her way. Honestly he was surprised she was even at his place, when he texted her he expected her to tell him shove off. “Have you considered a name change?” Manpreet asked settling into the couch.
