Just a Bet

7. A Double Date

I wake up with Carson wrapped around me, I'm kind of used to it now, almost prefer it.

Almost.

I stare up at the ceiling, I check the time on Carsons alarm clock.

7:43 AM 

I lay in silences, the only sound is Carsons light snoring, I still can't wrap my head around what happened yesterday. I hear Carson wake up.

"Good morning-"

"Why didn't he sleep with her?"

"Nice to see you to."

"It doesn't make any sense!"

"I don't-"

"I just can figure it out!"

"I made a mistake in waking up."

"I just don't get it, like the second I step into your life, Nathan starts changing, in every kind of way!"

"Wow, that's so interesting, could you shut up so I can go back to sleep."

~~~

I lift my soda can to my mouth.

"We should go on a double date."

I choke on my soda.

"What?" I say with soda dripping from my lips.

"Yeah, yeah, me and Nathan were talking about it earlier, we should totally do that."

"Nathan and I." I correct Beca.

"Whatever smartypants."

"Whatever moron."

"So do you wanna do it."

I glance at Carson with furrowed brows, but he nods. "Umm, sure, what day?"

"Friday."

"No Nathan, not Friday, I'm working a shift on Friday."

"Well then we already have a restaurant settled. The pizza at The Mozzarella Motel is great." He shrugged.

"Actually, I find that the pizza at Pepperoni Places is better, no offence Beca." I nod in agreement with Carson.

"None taken, I only deliver."

"So we settled on a place." Nathan questions.

"Yeah, it's The Mozzarella Motel, right?"

"Yeah."

"Ok."

~~~

"You exited for tonight?"

"Spending a night with Nathan doesn't really scream excitement for me."

"Why?"

"Normally, it would be his general personality, buy lately, he's been acting kinda weird around me."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well at the fair, before I walked inside, he grabbed my arm and said there was something he had to tell me, and I knew it was serious because he called me Danny."

"Why does that make it serious?"

"Have you ever see Nathan call me Danny, I didn't even think he knew my name."

She starts to shuffle through my closet. "I guess that's a little weird, but I think you're overthinking it."

"Maybe."

Beca throws something on my face. "Wear this."

I pull the piece of clothing off my face and examine it.

"Where is it?" I take a look a the very thin, very strap-y, see-through-ish 'shirt'.

"It's not that bad."

"It's not anything."

"Shut up and put it on."

"No- I don't even remember buying this shirt."

"That's because you didn't, I brought it from my house."

"Seriously."

"Just, try it."

I roll my eyes, but put on the shirt anyways, I look at myself in the mirror.

"Ok, I actually look pretty good in this." She slaps her hands on the sides of my arms "Exactly, that's why you should always trust my judgement." 

"PFFT, your judgement? Have you seen Nathan."

"Umm, have you seen his brother? I think you have?"

We finish getting dressed, me fining a nice pair of pants, and Beca putting on her work uniform. 

I eye her. "You look great."

"Oh, shut it."

*Beep beep*

"Ooh, the guys are here."

"Ok, oop, don't forget your hat." I grab the hat off her desk and slip it onto her head. "I hate you."

"The hat is a vital part to the outfit."

"Hate you!"

We run down the stairs and out the front door, Beca locks it behind her. I look at the car Nathan and Carson are sitting in. "Why didn't I know that Nathan had a convertible? It makes sense, I honestly should of suspected it."

"Wow, Beca, you look stunning."

"Shut it, Carson."

"Hey Danny, you look great."

"There it is, again, with the calling Danny, I hate it, just stick to sweet pea, It's better then Danny." I step into the back of the car, with Carson.

"Why don't you like it?"

"It makes you sound genuine, and I don't like it."

"What if I am being genuine?"

"Are you?"

"Maybe, sweet pea."

I narrow my eyes at the back of his head.

Somethings off

~~~

"Go get us pizza, pizza slave!" I bang my fist on the table.

"Pizza slave?"

"Yeah, pizza slave, now go do your job so you can buy me presents."

"Danny, your birthday was 4 months ago, why would I need to buy you presents?"

"Because you love me."

"Yeah, right."

"Get outta here pizza slave!"

We all sit at the table, waiting for Beca to bring out our pizza.

"Hey, you guys wanna come to my party next Friday." Nathan tips his soda at us.

"Party? You're throwing a party? We live in the same house? When were you gonna tell me?"

"Umm, right about now."

"Well, considering it's at my house, I think we'll go."

"Great." 

"We'll see you there, and a little bit before, since we live together."

"Yeah."
