I Wish I Loved You

13: In That Case...

13: "In That Case... When?"

[Anastasia's POV]

"What do you think?" I asked upon coming out of the dressing room.

"I think that you look awesome and that we've all been here for an hour," Ryan said tiredly.

"I think the same," Tyler added.

"Oh yeah,"Mackenzie turned to them, "well I think that I told you that you're here for moral support, not to verbally be assholes and complain every time she comes out of the dressing room."

"Can we please leave? I never wanted to be dragged here in the first place."

"No. Okay, listen, do either of you remember the last time we all hung out together?" They stayed quiet. "Exactly. I know Ana doesn't remember, so you guys are going to stay here and then we are going to eat." They both groaned but didn't respond, with that Mac turned to me, "I don't like it."

"Me neither." I shook my head and re-entered the dressing room to try something else on.

My goodness, maternity clothes were so comfortable. I sat in a booth next to Tyler and across from Mackenzie. The cravings had already begun to heavily set in, so we were eating Mexican.

"Wait," Mac said, "so you pulled a scene from 10 Things I Hate About You?"

"Yeah, I hate talking about it because I'm terrified of heights."

I looked over at Tyler, "I didn't know you're scared of heights... is that why you wouldn't take the elevator in the mall? Because it was see through and you could see how high you were?"

"No, that is because of my fear of elevators."

"Multiple fears, boy can I sure pick 'em." I joked.

He laughed before facing Mac and Ryan again, "Anyways, I had to prove myself to Ana so many times that I had to get original. My beautiful wife here was going through a phase where all she did was stay in my studio apartment and watch romance movies made in the 80's and 90's." I smiled at the words 'beautiful wife' "So all she did was cry and make references to crap like Clueless, Pretty In Pink, When Harry Met Sally-"

"'When Harry Met Sally' is not crap!" I defended as Mac yelled. "Those are great movies!"

A quiet Ryan looked up, "My girlfriend Amanda all but forced me to watch a lot a few movies like that. I enjoyed 'When Harry Met Sally' though, and 'Sleepless in Seattle."

"So what you're saying is that think Meg Ryan is hot?" Mackenzie asked.

Ryan nodded, "Pretty much."

"Dude, she's like fifty."

"She's 53 and I'd still hit it if she was seventy."

She rolled her eyes, "How I ever slept with you, I will never know."

"Well, you were drunk..." he began to explain but Kenz cut him off.

"Shut it, Harris." She looked at me, "I told you about me and him right?" I nodded.

Lately, everyone had been trying to clue me in on as much as possible, so that there hopefully wouldn't be any more big surprises. I'd learned a lot, about my past and my friends. Everyone went back to talking and I sat, just playing with my food.

After a while Tyler leaned over and whispered to me, "You okay?"

"Yeah," I whispered back, happy that he at least noticed my behavior, "I'm just done."
