Book of Love: Rini One Shots

Accidentally in Love

Summary: Everyone always tells Ricky and Nini how cute they'd be if they were a couple, but they'd always deny them. To prove to everyone they aren't meant to be anymore than friends, they decide to go on a series of "dates" to show they have no romantic chemistry.

A/N: Exciting news at the bottom of the fic :)

***********************************************

The sun shines down onto the busy streets of Salt Lake City. Spring had just begun a week ago, meaning the whole gang was hanging out in public a lot more than usual. The friend group had all met in Salt Lake during their first two years at The University of Utah. Some of them had already known each other from other walks of life, like Ricky, Nini, Kourtney, and Big Red.

Their other friends called them "the core four" because they had all known each other from childhood since they attended the same schools from kindergarten to senior year. When Big Red started talking to a cute woman named Ashlyn from his chemistry class in freshman year, they knew she was here to stay.

Ashlyn brought along her older cousin EJ and her best friend Gina, who were all from Provo. Carlos and Seb were the last to join the gang in sophomore year when the couple befriended Nini in their theater class. When all of them came together, the group finally felt complete. And they've all been inseparable since then.

At the moment, they all decided to go to a local sub shop in midtown to relax before midterm season. They all were sitting around a round table on the patio of the restaurant. While everyone else was having their own conversation, Ricky and Nini were tossing grapes into one another's mouths for the past five minutes.

It was Ricky's turn to catch, and he was determined to get this one since he had been failing miserably.

"You're sure you're gonna get this one?"

"Positive."

"I don't know Ricky; you've missed five times."

He pretended to be offended. "Do you not believe in me, Nina?"

"No, babe."

He holds his middle finger up to her, causing her to blow a sarcastic kiss.

"Damn, it's always the people you least expect to turn on you."

"That's life sweetheart. Get used to it. Now, are you ready?"

He angles his head back and opens wide. "Hit me."

She tosses it at his mouth, and he leans forward. Much to his surprise, it landed directly on his tongue. He beams at his accomplishment.

"Ha! I told you I'd—fuck..."

He began choking on the grape and was forced to spit it out. Nini began laughing at him, making him glare at her.

"You're laughing. I could've been suffocating, and you're laughing at my misery. For shame, Nini. Have your mom's taught you nothing about sympathy?" He says sardonically.

"Oh please, they'd laugh at you too since they knew you weren't dying."

"I'll remember this moment when you're choking. I'm just gonna laugh my ass off instead of assisting you."

"I'll be more upset if you didn't laugh at me."

"I'll hold you to those words, Sal-Robs."

"You couldn't even hold in a grape."

He playfully rolls his eyes, reaches over to her, and begins tickling her sides. Nini was extremely ticklish and would become a squirming mess. As expected, she begins giggling and tries to slap his hands away. She almost falls out of her seat when he begins to poke her ribs.
