Oh Please

chapter three

It was 10 o'clock at night when I finally was dropped off at home. To my surprise, Parker was still in my house and as she promised she made a miniature lemon cake. Oh she knows me all too well.

"How was it?" She asks as I sit down next to her, devouring my cake.

"Exhausting," I respond with a mouth full of frosting.

"Anything interesting happen?"

"Not really, Tom won got me a stuffed bear but Jared stole it. Spencer oddly didn't try anything with Maci."

"Wait, Tom got you a teddy bear?"

"That is what I said, keep up Parker."

She rolls her eyes," Is there something going on there?" She asks wiggling her eyebrows at me.

"Oh my gosh no. That's so weird, don't be ridiculous." I tried so hard to not blush, but I couldn't help it. It's like the more I tried to not blush, the more I did.

"I'm just saying, dating Tom could be a great way to bug Spencer." She says focusing back on the movie that was playing.

I couldn't do that, dating a guy to annoy his best friend. I'm mean and all but that's just down right criminal. Then again, I did have a lot of fun with Tom. And he is really cute. WHAT AM I SAYING?? No, I will not do that.

"What are you doing?" Parker asks giving me a weird look.

"Thinking," I say.

"Oh, I thought I smelled something burning."

I whip my head around to look at her and give my famous death glare.

She erupts into laughter, "I'm kidding, you were just making a bunch of faces like you were arguing with yourself. It was very amusing."

I stick my tongue out at her and walk to the kitchen to wash the mess that Parker made.

Wait, why am I cleaning this. She did it. "Parker, could you come here for a second?" I say as sweetly as possible.

The movie is silent, which I asume means that she paused it.

"Sure, but a fair warning. I've been taking online karate classes, I now expect the unexpected." She walks to the kitchen in her fighting stance.

"Oh get up, I'm not going to fight you. You're like a foot taller than me."

She gives me a skeptical look and slowly emerges from her fighting stance. "What is it that you summoned me for?"

"I was just going to ask if you were spending the night."

"It's 10 o'clock at night and I'm lazy, what do you think?" She says with a duh expression.

"Okay good, your fee is to clean up the mess that you created upon this kitchen." I say quickly and run out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

I can hear her groaning as the water turns on. I really didn't think that was going to work.

As Parker cleans the kitchen, I go to my room and but on my sweatpants and a t-shirt. Just to stay safe, I'm going to stay up here until I hear the water turn off. I know Parker and any chance she gets, she will spray someone with water. I have yet to figure out why.

Ten minutes later and the water finally is shut off. I make my way downstairs to see Parker back on the couch with popcorn in one hand and the remote in the other.

"When did you make popcorn?"

"There are some things that must remain a mystery young one."

"Okay then."

After what feels like an eternity of silence, I speak again," So what exactly did you do while I was gone?"

"I made your little cake thing then invited Andy over and we watched the Notebook, not my choice. Then I made some food for us. He left after that and then I started watching some horror movies."

"Cool beans," I say nodding my head. I really wasn't expecting anything different.

Over the screaming of the girl in the movie we are watching, I hear my phone buzz.

Tom: Hey Tracy. X

Tracy: Hey there. X

A few seconds later, he answers.

Tom: Can I call you or is this a bad time? X

Tracy: no its fine. Call away. X

I jump off of the couch and sprint up the stairs into my room.

I close the door exactly when my phone rings. Perfect timing or what?

Tracy: "Hello?"

Tom: "Hey Trace."

Tracy: "Is there a particular reason you wanted to call me?"

Tom: "Yes and no."

Tracy: "What do you mean?"

Tom: "I have a reason but I also just wanted to hear your voice."

Tracy: "What's the reason?"

Tom: "I want to ask you on a proper date."

Tracy: "Oh really?"

Tom: "Yeah, what do you say?"

Tracy: "Hmmmm, i think im gong to go with yes."

Tom: "Awesome. You pick, roller skating or movie."

Tracy: "Roller skating, I'm feeling pretty active."

Tom: "Oh are you now?"

Tracy: "Shut up you weirdo, that's not what I meant."

Tom: "I know, I'm just messing with you. How does tomorrow sound?"

Tracy: "Sounds great."

Tom: "Okay great, I'll pick you up at 8."

I can't help but laugh.

Tom: "What's so funny?"

Tracy: "Oh nothing, I should probably go. I'll see you tomorrow."

Tom: "Okay, I'll see you then."

Tracy: "Bye."

Tom: "Bye."

I hang up the phone with a smile plated on my face. Okay, so I have a date tomorrow with Tom.

"Hey Parker, I'm going to need your help."
