Stuck with him

Chapter 22

MEMORIES

Ariel's POV:

-few days later-

I was sitting outside the school building on a bench with David. Waiting for Joey to get here so we can leave. He said he'll be here in 5 minutes but its been 20 minutes and he's still not here. I was eating an ice cream and scrolling through ymy phone when i noticed David staring at me. I turned my head towards him. He had his arm on the back rest of the bench and his chin resting on the back of his hand. While smirking at me. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What?"

"Nothing." He shook his head still smirking. "Can i have a taste?" He said and i raised my eyebrow.

"Why don't you go get your own ice cream pal." I replied knowing where he was going with the comment but ignored it because I don't wanna go there. But knowing David, no one can stop him from going there, making weird remarks. This guy. He chuckled.

"I am not talking about the ice cream." He answered winking and I rolled my eyes and elbowed him.

"Too early for this. Creep." I shook my head at him as we heard footsteps approaching. I turned my head to the side when Joey sat beside me.

"What happened? What important business did Natalie want to talk about?" David smirked at Joey and he gave him a 'not interested' look.

"Nothing. She wanted to ask me to be her date for the formal." He said looking through his phone. So yeah. There is this formal at school. Which I totally forgot about.

"So? What did you say?" David asked excitedly sitting straight.

"What? What do you think? I don't even know her." Joey replied with a shrug while i looked back and forth between them. To my right and left. Brave girl. He doesn't even know her and she asked him to go with her. I can never. My insecure ass can never.

"Since when have you started caring about knowing a girl?" David laughed. Joey looked up from his phone, then looked at me for a second which made my stomach flutter for some reason, then looked at David.

"Would you shut up?" He said giving him a look.

"I am just saying. You should've said yes. That girl is pretty hot." David said making me roll my eyes in annoyance. What the hell am i doing sitting in between these idiots again?

"Why don't you ask her then?" Joey put his phone down and crossed his arms in front of his chest making his biceps look even bigger and hotter as i couldn't help but stare at them. He was wearing a tank top so...yeah. Hot.

"I already have someone else in mind." David said while i was still staring at Joey's biceps when he suddenly turned his head to me, his eyebrows furrowed. I instantly shoot my head back to his face. Wide eyed. I hope he didn't catch me staring. What is wrong with me. But i think its something else.

"Oh no. You're not taking her." He said which made me turn my head to David to see what or who they're talking about cause i zoned out for a bit there. You know. The biceps.

"Watch me brother." David winked at Joey and got up. I looked back and forth between them again confused. "Uhm." David cleared his throat, got down on one knee beside the bench and i widened my eyes. What on earth is he doing? He opened his arms and looked at me. "Okay. I didn't plan this but, I don't want you to go with him." David said pointing his head in Joey's direction. Confused, i looked back at Joey who looked so done with David. Then i turned back to the drama queen in front of me.

"What are you doing?" I said looking at David.

"Uhm. Lets try this.....Ello love." He said in a thick and deep voice. Is he trying to sound British or something? "I just wanted to know...uh if you, beautiful lady, would like to go to the formal with me.....and we'll go for a cup of tea after that too or before? However you, my lady, would like." He added in a really weird British accent and i laughed. I mean wow he is asking me to the formal i am.....touched, but its funny. When I didn't say anything for a while, just giggled. He licked his lips looking down and sighed, then looked back up. "Dude take me seriously." He whined and I laughed but then nodded.
