"Was it really that bad?" Sarah questioned Lexi
"Oh my God, Sarah it was awful. He took me to a Bar!" She groaned. Sarah, Kira,  Lexi, and I were sitting in the small main street cafe waiting for the guys to get here
"Wow." Kira laughed, sipping her coffee
"So classy!" I teased, stirring my hot chocolate
"That's what I said!" Lexi laughed, shaking her head "but my night ended pretty well." She mumbled softly, almost like we weren't meant to hear it
"What do you mean?" Sarah quizzed, leaning towards her
"I called Josh to come pick me up, for previously listed reasons, and he was there in like ten minutes. He complained to the owner of the bar about the waitress, then he took me to The Rivera. It was actually really fun, he wasn't a complete douche bag like Daniel was." She explained, a small smile gracing her lips
"Okay, that isn't it. There's more, I can tell." I informed her, narrowing my eyes as a smile made its way onto my face
"When he dropped me off, I forgot to give him his coat back, so I went outside to see if he was still there, and he was jogging back up my porch steps. He kissed me, I still can't believe it, but he kissed me. Then he told me he hated the thought of me going out with other guys. So I'm not going out with any guy unless its him, and he's not going to hook up with anymore girls. Or, at least that's what he said last night." She explained, her cheeks turning a pale pink color
"Finally!" Kira squealed, wiggling in her seat
"What's going on?" Speak of the devil. I jumped up, pushed Steele out of the way and threw my arms around Josh's neck, jumping up and down
"Finally! Our little boy finally decided to nut up!" I cheered, hugging him so tight I was sure I was cutting off his oxygen
"What?" Luke asked, looking at me funny
"What's going on?" I heard River ask someone quietly
"Alright, that's enough." Steele grouched, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me away from Josh
"What's going on?" River asked again, sitting down next to Kira
"Our little Josh-" she stopped short, all of our eyes widening as Josh leant down and kissed Lexi softly as he sat down
"Awe!" Kira, Sarah and I all cooed, watching Lexi smile softly as Josh grinned
"Wait-what?!" River questioned, his eyes huge
"When the hell did that happen?" Luke asked, looking thoroughly confused
"Last night." Josh told the boys
"That's what you were squealing about when we got here?" Steele asked, squeezing my hip gently
"Yeah. We did the same thing after River decided to nut up too." I explained
"Wait, so you sat around, and gave a recount of what happened?" River asked, looking concerned
"Yeah. We all know about how you tripped and fell into-" Sarah started, but was cut off when River dove across the table and covered her mouth
"Is there anything you don't tell each other?!" River glared jokingly
"What was this about River and Kiras first date?" Luke grinned, looking at the rest of us
"He tripped into the lobster tank!" I blurted out before he could stop me
"Ace!" He whined, sitting down
"Oh my god!" Steele exclaimed, laughing so hard he was bent over
"You fell into the lobster tank?" Josh grinned, looking at his friend
"Yes." Kira confirmed, earning a glare from her boyfriend
"Oh that's perfect!" Steele choked out, his face turning red
"We also know how Steele nearly pissed his pants when he got Ace home 15 minutes late." Lexi grinned at the man beside me, who instantly stopped laughing
"And how you cried during the funeral scene of 8 Seconds." Sarah added
"You have lips for a reason." He grumbled to me as his ears turned red
"You cried?" Luke cackled as Josh laughed
"I know about how Luke pissed his pants after that 'Tunnel of Terror' ride at the fair." Lexi commented, sipping her coffee. Luke suddenly joined the more quiet group of men around the table. One left
"Hey Josh, remember the time we were watching that scary movie and the lights went black? And you 'spilled your coke' on your jeans?" Sarah grinned, eyeing him. His laughter was quickly cut off
"You four are mean." He pouted, stirring his drink
"And that's nothing. We know it all. Everything. Down the last detail. Remember that Steele." Kira smirked, motioning to me
"You told them that?!" He asked, looking disturbed
"They just know we did." I grinned
"And the hickey thing!" Sarah smiled sweetly
"That's it, we're over." Steele joked
"Fine. Maybe I'll take Nic Frasier up on that date offer." I smirked, moving to take my phone out
"Joking!" He amended quickly, grabbing my wrisits
"So you four know everything?" River asked, looking around the table
"Pretty much. Anything too personal we only know happened. Like the pond scene after grad." Lexi explained
"Pond scene?" Luke asked
"Hey, girls stick together. You wanna know you can ask your boy Steele." Sarah frowned, making the tsking finger motion
"Steele?" Josh asked, raising his eyebrows
"What? Oh, nothing." Steele muttered, playing with my fingers
"I don't like this. One gender of this group knows it all, and the other doesn't know a thing." Luke sulked
"Actually I know a bit." River muttered, toying with Kiras hair
"So do I." Steele added, rubbing my knuckles with his thumb
"What?!" Josh gasped
"Hey, it isn't our fault you didn't ball up earlier." Steele grinned at him
"Anyways, what should we do today?" Sarah asked, glancing around
"We haven't gone shopping in a while." Kira pointed out, finishing the last of her coffee
"Noooo!" Luke whined, crossing his arms and pouting
"Shutt up and nut up." I smiled sweetly at him
"Steele, control her." Luke grumbled, narrowing his eyes when I gave him the finger "Steele, she's being rude!" He added, pointing at me
"What do you want me to do?" Steele asked, looking Luke
"Control your lap dog!" He teased, holding up a straw "fetch Ace! Fetch!" He teased, throwing the straw. Before I had a chance to say anything, Steele reached out and cuffed him upside the head
"Shut up." He grinned as he went back to playing with my fingers
"Shopping it is then." Lexi smiled as we all stood up
"West entrance?" Kira suggested, reaching for her wallet
"Put that away." River frowned, pushing the wallet back into his girlfriends purse and paying for both of their bills
"Haha- hey!" I gasped as my wallet was no longer in my hand
"You aren't paying either babe." Steele grinned, paying the waitress before handing me my wallet back
"Asshole." I smiled as I slipped it back into my purse
"Hands out of the bags." Josh muttered, slapping Sarah and Lexis hands before he handed the waitress the money for his, Lexi's, and Sarah's
"Thanks Josh." Sarah smiled, sliding her bag over her shoulder as she joined us at the door while Luke paid for his
"We'll meet up at the west side entrance." Kira reminded us as we all got into the vehicles
"Yup."
---------------------------
"I'm bored!" Luke whined for the up tenth time
"Luke, so help me, I will cut off your balls and feed them to you with a side of poison ivy salad!" Kira screamed, turning around and grabbing him by the shirt front
"But we've been here for hours!" He protested, not even bothering to try and escape Kiras grip
"You'll be dead for more than a few hours if you keep it up." She snapped before letting go of his shirt
"Meanie." He mumbled, smoothing out the wrinkles before walking along side Steele
"This is why I don't want a girlfriend. Moody fuckers they are." He muttered quietly to Steele "I'd sooner die than have one."
"I'll be right back." Sarah muttered before running off
"Luke!" I growled before taking off after her "Sarah wait!" I called, pushing open the door to the women's washroom
"Ace why is he so blind?!" She sobbed, sitting on the counter
"I don't know, but he isn't worth your tears babe." I smiled, wiping her cheeks
"Honestly, I don't get why I can't move on though. I mean, I know he doesn't like me, so why can't I help but like him?" She muttered, sniffling slightly as a couple more tears rolled down her cheeks
"I don't know, but maybe its time to forget about him. If he doesn't want to quit playing with other girls, you shouldn't wait for him. And if he likes you too, then he's waited too long." I soothed, looking at her
"You're right. I'm done. Next guy to ask for my number's gonna get that 'call me' slip of paper." She declared, wiping her face before looking at me "I'm really glad we stopped hating each other." She muttered softly, smiling at me
"Me too." I laughed, wetting a paper towel and starting to wash the mascara from under her eyes "now let's go." I grinned, leading her back to where everyone sat waiting
"Hey, are you okay?" Steele asked her, standing up
"Great, thanks. Your girlfriend is amazing you know that?" She smiled as she stood next Lexi
"I know." He grinned over her head at me
"What happened? You just took off." Luke asked, looking at her in concern
"Oh, nothing anyone needs to worry about anymore." She smiled
"Let's hit Lammles before we get food." I suggested
"Ooh, I need new boots!" Lexi grinned, grabbing Josh's hand after he'd grabbed her bags
"I'm gonna walk with Sarah." I told Steele, reaching for my bags
"Then walk with Sarah. I'll take the bags." He grinned, grabbing them from me
"Thanks." I smiled, kissing his cheek before linking arms with Sarah
"You two are cute." She smiled, glancing over at Luke
"Hey, moving on remember. He isn't worthy of you." I reminded as I hip checked her softly
"Right. Let's go shop." She smiled, fluffing her hair and putting on a bright smile as we walked into the shop
"Can I help you ladies with anything?" A middle aged woman asked as we walked by the desk
"No, thank you. We're just looking for now." Sarah smiled as she led me past
"Ooh, shiny buckle!" I grinned as we stopped by the belts
"This ones cute!" Sarah smiled, pointing at a pink and blue one "what do you think?" She asked, holding it to her waist
"Looks good." A male voice mentioned from behind me. Turning to see who it was, I noticed a flirty smile being placed on Sarah's face
"Thanks." She smiled, pushing her hair back. Before us stood one hell of a sexy specimen. About 5'11", light brown hair hung just barely in his face, dark green eyes, high cheek bones.
"I'm Tucker Mills." He smiled, holding his hand out towards her
"Sarah Grant." She smiled, shaking his hand before his eyes swung to me
"Ace Jobins." I smiled "well Sarah, it looks like everyone's waiting, we should go." I motioned towards where our friends stood paying at the counter
"Yeah, we should, I guess." She frowned, noticing where I was looking "It was nice to meet you, Tucker." She added, smiling up at him
"Can I maybe get your number? Maybe we can go out sometime." He asked, rubbing the back of his neck
"I would love that." She smiled, putting her number in his phone "Call me." She added before walking away
"It was nice to meet you, Mr Mills." I joked as I followed
"Likewise, Miss Jobins." He laughed as I went to stand by Steele
"Who's he?" He asked, watching Tucker walk away
"He is the guy who boldly asked for Sarah's number." I grinned, wrapping my arm around her shoulders as I looked at him
"You gave him your number?" River grinned "You go girl." He teased in a high pitch voice
"Shut up!" She laughed, pushing him
"Ugh, fine! This friendship is like, so over!" He continued, making his way over to Kira who was doubled over laughing
"You're way too good at that." Steele laughed
"I think I dislocated my hip." River groaned, picking up Kiras things
"I want food!" Sarah moaned "giiiive meeeee fooooood! Om nom nom!" She joked as she jumped on my back
"I don't want to walk." I whined "Steele." I mumbled, looking at him
"Luke can you take these?" He sighed, holding about 10 bags towards Luke
"Yeah." He muttered, taking them. Steele motioned for Sarah to get on his back before he grabbed the backs of my thighs and hoisted me so we were chest to chest, my legs locked with Sarah's
"Dude, your backs comfy." Sarah smiled
"So, do you think he's gonna call." I asked Sarah over Steele's shoulder
"I hope so. He was hot as hell!" She smirked, glancing back at the store
"Who was he?" Steele asked, hitching Sarah up further on his back
"His name was Tucker Mills. Know him?" I asked him
"I've met him at some party a while ago. Seems like an alright guy." He nodded as we rode down the escalator, people looking at us funny
"Sir, what are you doing?" An old man asked
"My girlfriend and her friend were tired, so I offered to carry them." Steele explained
"Oh that's so sweet! I remember when Gerald used to be able to carry me places. Now he drives me places on his little scooter." The mans wife smiled "my names Ellie." She added, still smiling at us
"I'm Ace, this is Steele, and this Sarah." I explained, holding a hand out to her, Sarah following suit
"I'd shake your hand, but if I drop one of them I'm a gonner." Steele smiled, nodding at them
"Oh I understand dear. Enjoy yourselves." Ellie smiled as she and Gerald walked away
"They were cute!" Sarah cooed, looking after them
"Yeah, they were." I agreed as Steele finally made it to the table our friends were sitting at
"I think you've got a couple growths there bud." Josh joked as Sarah and I jumped down
"They were tired." Steele sighed "what do you two want?" He asked us
"Mama burger meal!" Sarah cheered, sitting down on my lap
"Chicken souvlaki and a pita please." I smiled up at him
"I'll be right back." He grinned before jogging off
"So we lost you after Lammles, anything happen?" Kira asked, looking only partially interested-mostly worried- as River tried braiding her hair
"I met a cute guy and gave him my number." Sarah muttered, picking at her nail polish
"What?!" Lexi grinned, scaring Josh from his nap
"What?!" He asked, suddenly looking wide awake
"Sarah gave her number to a cute guy!" Lexi explained
"Oh, cool." He muttered, going back to sleep
"Why?" Luke asked, his eyebrows furrowed
"Because he was cute, nice, and I'm lonely." She pouted, leaning back against me
"He was cute." I trailed off, biting my lip
"You'd better be thinking about me babe." Steele's voice mumbled in my ear, startling me
"Ooh, food!" Sarah grinned, taking her food "thank you Steele." She smiled before taking a big bite of her burger
"Hmm, why is Sarah single? I have no idea." He joked, handing me my order
"Keep laughing and Ace and I will turn lesbian and become lovers. Then we'll see who's single." She muttered, throwing a pickle at him
"No throwing food." He reprimanded, slapping her hand as if she were a child
"Fuck you." She muttered, going back to her burger
"You wouldn't leave me for her." He told me, looking completely positive
"I don't know, she's pretty hot." I trailed off, toying with her hair as she tried not to laugh
"I always knew you weren't entirely strait." Steele teased
"Bite me." I smiled sweetly, eating some of my food
"Where?" He questioned, a smirk on his face
"Anywhere you want baby." I grinned as our friends started into different conversations around us.
