Daylight ~ Malachi Barton

009.

I wake up to Riley tapping me telling me that our flight landed. While waking up the first thing I thought about was Malachi. Well, standing up getting ready to walk in the aisle out of the plane I quickly fix my hair and make sure I look somewhat presentable. I never really thought about looking good for him I just hope maybe I have a chance. We walk out of our plane. and go get our suitcases. after getting our suitcases is when we get to see mal and MK again. As we're going down the escalator, we see two familiar faces. We run down the escalatorrunning to them. I give MK a hug and then make my way over to mal who already has open arms.

M: I missed you ave
A: I missed you more mal

we hugged for a while until Riley and MK started looking at us awkwardly. So then we let go. we made our way to MK's car me and mal got in the back. him and ave in the front. we decided to go to the food store first because tonight we're all gonna have a sleepover at me and Riley's apartment. While we were driving. Me and mal took a bunch of photos out of pure boredom. We get to the food store and all grab baskets and split up the eventually put everything into one big cart. After putting everything in the cart we messed around for a little bit seeing if there's anything else we wanted for the sleepover. We were taking turns sitting in the cart and just going around the store before and a worker came up to us. Saying we had to leave if we were just gonna keep messing around. we apologize and I get out of the cart and we go to the checkout. We get back into the car and we plan to go back put all the freezer and refrigerator stuff away and then we are going to go out to lunch. when we get back to the apartment the boys decide to unload the groceries and we go and unpack our suitcases from our previous trip.
i unpacked everything and went to riley's room to get her clothes and put a load of our dirty clothes from vacation in the washing machine. We have a reservation at 4 at a fancy restaurant near the beach so me and riley decide to get ready while mk and mal sit in the living room. I slip on my little black dress but struggle to zip up the zipper. trying to get it im stomping, walking, and falling all over my room, and I guess you can hear it from the hallway. i hear a knock on my door.

M- Can i come in?
A- yeah
M- You okay?
A- I can't get my zipper
M- here let me help.

He grabs my hand and turns me around to reveal the unzipped part of my back he slowly moves my hair out of the way. just his touch gives me butterflies in my stomach. he zips up my dress being very careful not to close my skin in the zipper. i turn around and face him and he just stares at me for a second.

M- you look.. really pretty.
A- Really? i.. uh.. thank you so much
M- do you have anywhere i can get changed by any chance mk is in the bathroom.
A- Yeah you can change in my bathroom
M- okay thanks!

He comes out of the bathroom after a few minutes in a crewneck, jeans, and a pair of jordan's. im admiring his outfit but i guess i was staring because he started to clear his throat and start talking.

M- Do i look okay?
A- yeah.. you look bea.. pret- cut- hot? good? you look good.
M- okay good, gotta show off.
A- For who
M- idk just this girl...
A- Riley?
M- No ave... you. I wanna look good for you...
A- me?
M- Yeah i do
A- well you look perfect then

mal takes a seat on my bed and a sit next to him both of us staring at the ceiling. he asks me what time it is and i respond with 3:15 meaning we have 15 minutes until we have to leave. i put on a little bit of lipgloss and go to my mirror and start talking a bunch of photos of myself. i feel a arm go around my waist as malachi makes a appearance in my mirror. For the next 10 minutes we take tons of photos. with eachother and before we know it it's time to leave. This time malachi is the one driving so i'm in the front seat. at this point it's just an unspoken rule, Mk drives riley's in the front Mal drives im in the front . It just works for us and us girls need to be there passenger princess.
