My Best Friend's Husband?

Apollo In A Maid Costume WOULD Be Cute

About a month after the New York trip

I yawn as I drive to Arny's, we decided to link up since I'm bored and he's not that far of a drive. He offered to let me stay over if I needed to which was sweet, but I'm hoping I don't have to so I'm not intruding on his normal schedule. Besides, tomorrow is Sunday and I've got a stream to power through...

I get a facetime call from Arny's contact, Arnussy, and smirk as I answer, making sure my phone is on it's little holder so he can see me. "Hey, what's up?"

"Hey, how far out are you? I'm ordering some food and wanted to make sure I wasn't making it too early. Don't need you to eat cold food." I don't look at him since I'm driving but I can hear his little dorky smile I keep seeing whenever we facetime or are on discord together.

"Um... I am about 10 minutes out, you should be safe to order whatever you wanted to get... I can eat whatever you don't eat honestly..." I take a sip of my monster through my long swirly straw Will got me for my birthday so I stopped having to take my hands and eyes off the road for my coffees or monster drinks.

"Bunny, I'm not doing that."

"I'll eat chicken nuggies if you promise not to call me Bunny unless it's like... an emergency." I glance at him momentarily to see him nod. "I had a lot of coffee so the hunger suppressant part is hitting me hard enough that I'm not that hungry."

"What did you eat today?"

"Um..............................................." I think really hard as I make a turn, "well... I think I had a granola bar... one of those big ones the size of my hand..."

"I'm getting you a lot of nuggies. We'll split fries." He definitely can't be convinced so I'm not even gonna bother with that.

"Can I at least pay half this time?"

"No."

"Arny....."

"It's really my treat."

"Can I at least pay the tip to the driver? I've got cash on me."

"........fine."

I smile wide in triumph, "wow, what a good boy, Arny," I tease him because he's called me a good girl as a joke so many times, it's my turn.

"Wh- just for that, I refuse to let you pay anything this time." He says like he's in charge.

"Arny, I was kidding. Lemme just pay the tip. I promise I'll take your no next time..." I pout and give the biggest puppy dog eyes I can when I'm at a red light, probably looking like a psycho to the surrounding cars.

"Fine... but you have to let me pick the movie this time."

"Deal. As long as I get to cuddle Apollo this time." I turn onto the street that I just go straight on til I get to his street, happy to not have to deal with anymore lights.

"That's fine, I'm sure he likes you better anyway." He jokes, turning to Apollo and doing a baby voice, "isn't that right, Apollo? You like her better than me, huh?" This man is literally so sweet to his dog. Oh, right, I still have that gift for Apollo in my trunk.

"OH, Arny! I've got a gift for Apollo too. Remind me to bring it in. I'll see you in like 8 minute now. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," I start to hang up but hesitate to hear if he says bye back.

"Byyyyeeeeeee-" I hang up on him midway through and blast my Anima openings playlist because it makes me feel like I'm going on a big adventure.
