Silver lining

Road trip

"You guys are cute together," said Emily as she smiled and made her way to the exit.

"Have we told her that we're a thing now?"

"I guess we haven't," I replied

"I guess she knows now."

"Well, yeah. It's not like she's against us or something."

"You guys, the movie is over." Said the janitor guy as he pulled his cart up the ramp.

"Of course; we were just leaving," I said as I pulled George from his seat.

We arrive to the lobby and see Emily waiting next to a photo booth. I can see 5$ clenched in her small pale hand.

"Get in, weenies!" She said as she got in and put the money in the machine. George and I rushed in.

It was one of those booths that took pictures and printed them out in cute little strips. Emily, George and I sat in that order, me George then Emily.

Emily played "Donatella" by Lady Gaga on her phone. There was only a short interval between pictures.

"Make faces!" Emily urged.

The first two pictures were our decent faces in weird forms. We all sat back and laughter for the third. Then, I turned to George, placed my hand on his neck, pulled him closer, and gave him short passionate kiss on the lips.

The photos developed into three strips.

There, on the left side of the fourth picture, was Emily, in the middle of rolling her eyes.

We each got our strips and headed out.

"What are you guys doing tomorrow?" Emily asked as we made our way through the parking lot towards her car.

"Nothing much." Me and George said in unison.

"Okay we can go to Bakersfield." Said Emily

"Why would we want to go to Bakersfield?"

"I don't know, it would be nice to go somewhere like the three of us you know. I start to feel left out now that you guys are closer than ever." Replied Emily.

"Woah no need to feel left out, we're still close, Em."

"Hm I guess. Are you guys in or are you out?"

"If Adam is going then so am I" said George.

"Then I guess I'm going." I say

"Great, we leave tomorrow morning."

*******Next Day*******

"Who's car are we taking?" I ask while on the phone with Emily.

I was getting my bag ready for the 2 day trip. George was set to go and waiting for me in the living room.

"I guess mine? It has a big interior." Said Emily.

"Yeah, at what time are you coming by?"

"I'll get there soon, like literally we live so close. Matter of fact, would you rather walk over? Save me the little gas. Yeah do that. You and George will have a little more alone time."

I couldn't see but I heard a smile appear on her face. I don't know if that's even possible.

"Hmm okay then I'll be there in a few." I reply
