My boy / Drew Starkey

Mila

I pick up my phone to see what Drew texted before I got the chance to read it Rudy lifts his head from me before taking my phone and putting it down. "I'm hungry, are you hungry?" he asks me as I point over to the grapes and strawberries. "Yeah proper meal," he says as I laugh.

"I'm super hungry," I say to him as he claps his hands and quickly gets up. "Let's go," he says extending his hand for me to take. I do so as he helps me up and pulls me close to him he kisses me before starting to pack all of our things

My mind was only on what Drew could have texted me. Maybe something happened. As I was thinking this my phone went off again. I pick up my phone and finally open the message

why was he acting so weird to me?? I was getting super frustrated as Rudy noticed he grabbed my hand and sneezed it tight "Everything okay?" he asked me as I replied with a light nod. He smiled at me lightly before grabbing all the bags and holding them in one hand, the other was still holding mine. "Wait give me some," I say to him as he turns back to face me and shakes his head in disagreement

"Ange," I say as he repeats the same motion and starts walking back to where we came from. The walk up the hill was significantly more difficult than when we were going down not because it was more dangerous but because by the time we made it up, I was out of breath

Rudy unlocks the car as I open the trunk for him to put all our things back in. I close it as he follows me to the passenger seat of the car. "really?" I ask him giving him a 'Are you serious? look' as he smiles and opens the car door for me "You're welcome Mila" he says as I get in

The car ride to the nearest McDonalds was decently long. We talked the whole way there but my mind couldn't stop thinking about Drew's question. I needed him to tell me, not just that I needed him to tell me why he has been so weird. Maybe I was overthinking all this. I barely knew him anyway how would I know what his weird behavior looks like?

Rudy gets my attention by asking me what I wanted to eat. I told him a cheeseburger and some fries "And a Diet Coke with that please" he added to the lady at the drive-through. He remembered my addiction to it which I found very cute. We parked up in the parking lot and ate our food, mostly in silence with the music playing and only a few words exchanged. I guess we are just that hungry.

"Hey Mila, I have a question." Rudy breaks the silence before lowering the volume of the music. I look up at him taking a few fries in my mouth. "Have you talked to Drew at all?" he asks me. I shake my head before replying "No, why?"
