pen pal | on hold

                [[ L E V I ]] 

        I knew coming here was a bad idea, I should've never accepted Leo's offer. Sitting across the booth from me is the sickening couple who I just want to claw my eyes out for. Let me correct myself, not the sickening couple, but the sickening Leo who is currently trying to feed Anna a french fry. 

        "Get that potato stick away from me," Anna complains as she shoves Leo's arm away from her. "I am going to collapse if you feed me another damn fry, Leo. I already ate two trays of Animal Fries and a double cheeseburger, you're trying to give me a heart attack. Well too late, you're stuck with me the moment you asked me to be your girlfriend."

        Leo scowls and threw the fry at me. "Try to be a good boyfriend and this is what happens," he mumbles angrily.

        "If you want to be a good boyfriend, you'd let me play COD with you but no, it's because you think it's too gory for me," Anna mocks as she looks at me, basically saying 'can you believe this guy?' . I only smirk and watch the two bicker.

        "Anna's already passed that, pretty sure she can handle COD after handling The Purge better than you," I remind him earning that lovely middle finger of his. I'm not kidding, his hands are really nice, he can be a hand model if he wanted to. "And in the future when Anna's in college she can party hard and play COD with her friends."

        "Uh no she ain't," Leo quickly disagrees, "Anna's gonna be a good little girl and watch Team Umizoomi with Momma and Dad. She's not partying."

        "Really? First The Fault In Our Stars and now Team Umizoomi? I wonder how you used to get laid before Anna," I mock before sipping my Dr. Pepper. 

        I watch Leo turn beet red before bolting to the restroom, knowing that he wants to beat my ass. I sigh in relief as I lock the door behind me, but right when I did my phone vibrated. Immediately my mind goes to Wren. But I know there's a large chance that it might not be her. When I checked my phone I was right, it wasn't Wren.

luke: need you to buy more toilet paper and pop tarts. we ran out of both.

me: alright, whatever. take care of cassidy.

luke: gee thnx levi. i'm doing great too! i have all my legs and all ten fingers i think.

me: stop.

luke: and i didn't burn down the house when making top ramen! yeah im doing great thnx for caring bro

        I was ready to type back another sarcastic text when Wren actually did text me. I feel like Leo grabbed my lungs and began squeezing them because that is how I feel like when I saw the little notification.

me: dude i gotta txt u back.

luke: wait wut? 

luke: bro you leaving me?

luke: not cool.

luke: it's wren isn't it?

luke: f u dude.

me: shut up, please.

luke: fine, have fun sexting each other.

        As mad as I am with Wren on a date she's still my pen pal no matter what. Pen Pal, it's such a funny title for the type of friendship we have right now. We're not just friends or even best friends, we're pen pals, and for some reason that title seems a lot better to me. She's my pen pal and I am hers, at least that part will never change.

princess: im such a bad pen pal :( sorry for not replying so soon.

me: it's fine princess :) how's the date going so far

princess: fun, really really fun. maybe when we meet we should go ice skating ;)

me: as in a date? wren, is this your way of asking me out? ;)

        Have I ever even been on a date? I'm pretty sure lunch dates with Cassidy, my little sister don't count. Unless you count going to the library and Toys R Us romantic than I am more than capable of taking Wren on a date. But how can I if we aren't even together? She's literally on a date with another guy as we speak. 

        But I'm sure I can do so much better? I mean c'mon, ice skating? Such a cliché date, then again it is Wren we're talking about. But if it was me I'd take her to the freakin' bookstore, buy her all the books she wants, and have a Harry Potter movie marathon with her. It might bore me to death, but it'd land me a second date. 

princess: levi, stop teasing :(

me: who said I was kidding? what if i actually want to in the future?

princess: then i guess we'll have to see how things go.
