We Are

Chapter 19 Viv

"Well, that chick over there, she lives at home with her parents still. She has this geeky boyfriend, but he's actually really hot under his glasses and weird clothing."

Currently, we're sitting on a bench outside and making up life stories for people.

Hayes starts laughing and leans into me, but I wrinkle my nose and shove him away. "Ewww, gross! You're nasty!" I say in fake disgust.

Hayes turns to me with a devilish smirk and pins my arms, bringing his face close to mine. "You don't really think that, now do you?"

Making a face, I lean closer to him. Thinking I'm going to kiss him, Hayes brings his hand up to my cheek. Now it's my turn to smirk, because I smile mischievously and lick his face.

"Hey!" He leans back into his spit and wipes his face, pretending to pout. "No fair!"

I smile as winningly as I can and poke his face. "But it really is, darlin! Its perfectly fair. You see, I'm just paying you back!"

"Why is your logic so flawless?" He complains.

I laugh. "Oh Hayes, it's not. You just like me too much to disagree."

"I have something for you."

I look up at Hayes in surprise. Lifting my head off his chest, I sit the rest of the way up. "Ooh, really? What is it?"

Hayes smiles. "One sec." He gets up off the couch and goes to his room.

He returns with a little bag in his hand. Handing it to me, a grin plays at his lips. "Open it."

Grinning, I rip open the bag and pull out a dog tag on a chain. Flipping one over, the word 'Mermaid' jumps out at me.
"Aw, Hayes that's awesome!" He chuckles as I pull him into a big hug. I carefully put the chain over my head, and grin up at him.

"You're so freaking cute sometimes." Hayes kisses me gently, and I smile before kissing him again and having a hard core make out session...

All of a sudden, Nash bursts in with Mila or Mary or whatever her name is. Hayes and I spring apart, and Nash narrows his eyes at us.
"What are you doing here?"

I blush and hastily run a hand through my messy hair as Hayes answers nonchalantly. "Nothin bro. Just chillin."

The little twerp girl-Miriam?- shots me a glare and tugs Nash's arm. "Let's go to your room babe. Maybe they'll leave."

I stick my tongue out at their backs and stand up from the couch. Stretching my back, I fake a yawn. "Oh wow, um look at the time! I think I gotta go! Call me lat-"

Hayes cuts me off by pressing his lips to mine. "Av. I'm not letting you ditch me just yet."

I groan in mock despair. "Now what shall I do with my life?!" I put a hand to my forehead dramatically. "This is simply dreadful!"

Hayes rolls his eyes. "C'mon Viv. Let's just go find Lynny and the guys or somethin."

I smile happily and grab his hand, pulling him out the door. "What are ya waiting for then? Let's goooo!!"
