sixty-three: i just wanna be yours.

"Didn't I tell you to stay the fuck away from her?" Zach growled at Isa and Nate from across the table.

"Well, who can pass up a good dinner?" Isa says, picking up her fork and grabbing a bite of cake off of Daniel's plate. He looks at her, grossed out. He pushes the dish towards her and crinkles his face.

"I didn't do anything, man." Nate says with fear in his eyes, and he holds up his hands. "I thought we were just going out to dinner, I didn't even know you were going to be here. She's the one that found you guys."

Isa dismisses him, "Awh, hi Corbie. Long time no see, am I right?" She fake smiles as she waves to Corbyn. "In fact I haven't seen you since New York when I was-"

Corbyn's jaw tightens, "Izzy, please leave. None of us want you here, Kira and I especially."

"It's Isa now. Haven't you heard? Decided to go by it after you said "My first name was too beautiful to hide."" She mocks, putting her hand on her chest. Her hand catches my eyes as it's placed right next to a pin on her jacket.

It says, "Nate's girl." We found it one night at the flea market near his practice field. I had it on my backpack, but I left it at Nate's house one night after washing my bag. He gave her MY pin.

"You're lucky we are in a nice establishment or I was going to worldstar this bitch. Shame on you for thinking this is the correct way to handle a situation, Isabella, shame on you." Emerson scoffs as she leans back, crossing her arms.

"Aight, let's go. Feel free to ruin our cake and night even more." Jack says, getting up, pointing to our half-eaten cake. Jack holds out a hand to help Em get up, which Emerson takes.

"You have a little boyfriend, how sweet. Guess Franny and Nezza are happy you didn't find a grimy guy." Isa pouts sarcastically.

Em reaches down, her hand still in Jack's to look her dead in the eye. "Yeah, well at least I know he's not fucking other girls. Oh wait, I guess you're cool with that. Also, if you really want to be "such a bad bitch", meet me outside but I'll kick your ass with no hesitation."

Her face drops, realizing that Jack and her are "actually" dating, but she immediately puts the facade back up. The rest of the boys follow Emerson and Jack out of the restaurant as Zach and I get up, "Is he your new boyfriend?" Nate asks as I grab everyone's loose things from around the table they forgot, like jonah's sunglasses and Emerson's purse. I look at Zach as he nods at them, looking at me for approval.

"Alright, prove it." Isa says, her tongue to her cheek. "Clearly you and boyband should be comfortable enough to kiss in front of us."

"The paps are outside. We aren't out to the public yet." I lie before anyone else could say anything.

"Well good thing we are in a private room." She says, flipping her hair behind her shoulder. "So pucker up. We can close our eyes if it makes you more comfy." She says sarcastically.

"Fine." I say sick of her always being right. I place everything I've gathered in my hands down and walk up to Zach, cupping his face and lightly kissing him. The second my lips touch him, and I feel him catch his breath, that feeling is back.

Butterflies.

He melts into the kiss, resting his around my waist as he reaches down to deepen the kiss. I pull away too soon, scared of what would happen if I let it go on for longer. I look up to see his lips pink and swallow with the tiniest bit of my lip gloss stained against them. He looks at me breathless, unknowing of what just happened between us. His eyes are full of questions, but I have the answers to none of them, so I turn my head to look at the bitch sitting at my table.
