Always and Forever

6 - Barbecue

Indiana walked out of her bathroom and sat down on her bed next to her best friend Isaak Presley. He was laying down, scrolling on Instagram as she was getting ready for the barbeque they were having.

"How do I look?" Indiana asked Isaak. She was wearing a black Harley Davidson t-shirt and old faded red gym shorts. Normally, she wouldn't care if she looked good or not, because they always have barbecues, but this time, Pedro was going to be there.

Isaak looked up from his phone, glancing at her outfit, and nodded, "I think you look good." He said before going back to his phone.

"Just good? Should I change?" Indiana started to freak out a little because she didn't want to look bad if Pedro was going to be there.

Isaak set his phone down on the bed and sat up, "Why are you freaking out? We have barbecues all the time. Who are you trying to impress?"

Indiana didn't say anything, making Isaak raise a brow, "You like someone, don't you?" He asked her, and when she nodded, he started laughing. "You like Pedro, don't you?"

Indiana didn't say anything. She just nodded again.

"Oh my god! You do! You like Pedro!" Isaak said, practically shouting.

Indiana covered his mouth to make him shut up, "Be quiet Isaak. My dad will hear you!" She said, freaking out even more than she was before.

Isaak couldn't stop laughing. He could hardly talk because of it. "You like Pedro! This is hilarious." He kept laughing. "Oh my god! Do you remember when we were watching The Mandalorian, and he took his mask off for the first time? And you said you were going to marry Din Djarin!"

Indiana rolled her eyes, "I was like 17!"

"Yeah but you said you were gonna marry him, and now you like Pedro."

Isaak kept laughing until the door opened.

"Come on, they are here," Gabriel told them, making them climb off the bed and follow him down the stairs.

Indiana was confused. What did her dad mean by they? She thought her dad just invited Pedro.

When they got to the backyard where the barbecue was being held, Indiana saw Pedro standing next to Sarah Paulson with his hand on her back.

She was a little confused at first because Pedro had never said about having a girlfriend. But she shook it off because she didn't want anyone to think something was wrong.

Gabriel was the first to speak. "Sarah, this is my daughter Indiana and her friend Isaak. You guys this is Sarah Paulson." When he finished introducing them, he went back over to the grill, Pedro following him.

Indiana smiled at her but before she could say anything, Isaak spoke. "Nice to meet you. We loved American Horror Story. We used to watch it all the time." He said, looking at Indiana, waiting for her to say something.

"Oh yeah. You were really great in it." She smiled.

"Thank you, that's so sweet. If I'm not mistaken, you were in The Fosters, right?" She asked.

Yeah! Yeah, I was." She said, surprised that Sarah Paulson had seen the show.

"I loved that show! You're an amazing actress!"

"Thanks." Indiana smiled.

Indiana glanced at Pedro and her dad to see Pedro smiling at her, she thought about walking over to talk to him until her dad turned around with a plate of chicken in his hand.

"Is everyone ready to eat?" He asked, walking over and setting the food on the table.

Everyone said yes and walked over to the table, Pedro pulled out Sarah's seat for her, then when she sat down, he pushed it in and kissed her on the cheek, before sitting down in his seat.
