Tongues Twisted

02 - Alan

I walk out of the cafe, my eyes scanning the surroundings for that guy who was trying to ask out my girl earlier.

I spot him. I walk up to him. His eyes meet mine, I see fear in them. Good.

"Heyy"
He says nervously

I grip his collar with both my hands.
"If you talk to her again. I will make sure you can never talk to anyone again."
I threaten him.

"I-i didn't know she had a b-boyfriend"
He gulps nervously, clearly shivering.

I let go of his collar and clear my throat. He straightens his t-shirt hastily.

"I'm not her boyfriend."
I say, looking away from him as I don't want to admit it myself. But I would never go as far as telling people that she's my girlfriend when she's not.

Or not correcting people when they say I'm her boyfriend.

Same thing.

"Oh."
He mumbles.

"Well either way, I uh won't bother her again."
He says, rubbing the back of his neck. He hands the rose to me.

"You can give this to her or something I guess"
He shrugs before walking away hurriedly.

Chase stares at me like I'm a creep.

"Seriously?"
He asks, taking a sip of his beer.

"Yeah..."
I mumble, fidgeting with the tab of the can of beer in my hand. I take a sip.

We stay in silence for a while, staring at the stars above us. We're currently sitting on my rooftop, drinking.

I told him what happened earlier today.

"Do you think she saw it?"
I ask, breaking the silence.

"Saw what?"
He asks, turning to me.

"When I was threatening that guy?"
I ask, tilting my head and rubbing my eyes. I think I see someone walking up to us.

We're sitting far away from the staircase so it makes sense I guess. I might be hallucinating though.

Oh. I'm not. Interesting.

Abby stands behind Chase and places her hands on her hips.

"Up. Now."
She orders.

Me and Chase stand up, only to end up falling back down on the floor again. We giggle in union.

We're so cute.

Abby sighs before walking closer to us and helping us both stand up.

"Abhy"
I mumble

"Yeah, Alen?"
She mocks me

Me and Chase giggle in union again.

We're so cute.

"Do you know..."
I start to say. I fall again.

"Ouch"
I pout.

Abbys rolls her eyes and Chase giggles. He pokes her cheek.

"You're so cute"
He mumbles with a grin on his face.

I can see Abby blushing. I wonder if Chase can see it too.

I stand up and grab Chase's collar.

"What did you say?"
I ask, trying to look scary.

Chase acts scared
