I Still Want You By My Side

Burgers

"Hey I gonna take this." Alex noted walking away from the table. I grabbed another french fry from the basket in front of me.
"So just as were all thinking damn that could have been any of us. Another splatter of bird shit just falls from the sky and lands right on Dans shirt." He smiled biting into an onion ring. I laughed accidentally pushing out a small burp.
"Am I childish for wanting to put ketchup on Alex's seat?"I asked talking another crispy potato section.
"Na, I just don't wanna hear Al bitch about it." She said honestly.

"Damn both of you are up my ass about each other" he rolled his eyes setting his phone down.
"Who?" Dan asked.
"Her and Caleb, so I just told him to come eat with us." He shrugged emptying the glass.
"Alex, I look like shit." I rubbed my bare face with my hands.
"You're fine like that around everyone just chill." He started to sound annoyed.

"Sorry I know I'm being fucky, I'm just gonna go fix myself a little. Thank you though." I kissed his cheek and hopped down headed towards the restroom. Standing alone in front of the mirror I hid the few freckles I have with a light coat of foundation, added eyeliner to my waterline, and mascara to finish it off. I gave my hair a soft part and tried to spruce up the tangled curls.

I managed to stay under five minutes and walked calmly back out.
"Happy now?" Jason questioned.
"Yeah, where's Alex?" I looked around.
"He went to order more beers, but I guess he's back now. " he said finishing his beer.
"Don't make his shit awkward." He told me blandly.
"Okay okay ." I held my hands up. I know that a lot of Alex's friends play in bands or are involved in music. I've know him since he was seventeen, so I don't get star struck really. I actually tend to act like more of a dick especially if their narcissistic. It's surprising that they keep up the fronts to sell albums. We usually stick with hanging with his band. But they're actually all pretty soft, sweet, weird guys that like heavier music.

           I'm I looked up from my zoning out to realize there was another familiar face at the table.
"Hey." He waived with a quick confident smile.
"Hi." I smiled.
"So I herd you guys are gonna tour with Silverstein in a bit." Alex started.

"Yeah, I'm just up here to visit a few people and to do a little traveling." He stated.
"That's cool." I took a sip of my drink and Alex rolled his eyes.

"I'm gonna head home, its 2 and I should drink anymore." Jason stood up twirling his keys on his finger.
" you can spend the night if you want Alex." I told him.
"I think in gonna head back to my place. I'll see you tommorow dickweed." He stood up following Jason out.

"Ah I should probably head back to my hotel." Caleb started.
"Are you okay to drive?" I asked.
"I probably shouldn't, I'll get an uber. " he explained playing around on his phone.
"You can crash at my place if you need to." I offered.
" I'm fine, I mean you could always chop me into pieces while I'm asleep." He laughed.
"Oh okay you don't trust me after our nice conversation tonight." I kinda pouted.
" well give me your phone, I trust you not to leak my snapchat to the internet." A few minute later he handed it back to me and I snap chatted the new contact.
"Alight about 30 minutes till my rides here." He breathes heavily following.
"Wanna watch an episode of bobs burgers?" I suggested.
"Sure." He smirked and I changed it to Netflix getting comfy. He grabbed the blanket and threw it over our legs as they rested on the coffee table. After I sat the remote down I laid my head against his shoulder.

"So you seem really cool and I'm just wondering if there's anything between you and Alex before I start to take an interest in you." He spoke softly looking down at me.
"Na he's just my best friend" I laughed.
"Okay good." He relaxed a bit and placed his arm around me as I cuddled into his side.
