"walker i know you're a big back and all," adriana spoke as she and walker walked out of the restaurant. "but i think i just turned into one as well."
they had eaten so much food and to top it off walker had even forced her to order dessert (though it didn't take a lot of convincing only a few words really).
"again calling me fat is very offensive." walker groaned as he glanced at his phone, waiting for his mom to respond so she could pick them up.
"oh well." adriana shrugged.
just as walker was about to make another comeback, a familiar voice called out from across the street. "hey, you two!"
they both turned to see dylan jogging over, a bright smile on his face. he was dressed casually, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his hoodie. "good to see you again walker," dylan said as he reached them, slightly out of breath. "what's up?"
"dylan!" adriana exclaimed, surprised but happy to see him. "what are you doing here?"
"i was grabbing takeout from that sushi place down the block," dylan explained, nodding towards a bag he was carrying. "saw you guys and figured i'd say hi. what's going on?"
walker tried so hard not to roll his eyes right now, this was the last person he needed to see— especially when he was with adriana.
"good to see you too, dylan," walker said, his tone a little too flat to be convincing. he shoved his phone back into his pocket, hoping his mom would show up soon so they could make a quick escape.
adriana, oblivious to walker's sudden change in mood, smiled brightly at dylan. "we just finished eating way too much," she said, patting her stomach with a laugh. "walker made sure of that."
dylan grinned, his eyes flicking to walker for a moment before returning to adriana. "that sounds like walker, always pushing the limits," he teased, though there was an edge to his voice that walker didn't miss. "and i mean always."
