Stealing My Best Friends Boyfriend

Chapter 3

When we got the the car we threw our backpacks in the back seat. Right before I pulled out of the parking spot I plugged in the aux cord and put my music on shuffle.

A few songs later Sorry by Justin Bieber came on and I automatically turned up the volume and started yelling out the lyrics.
"IS IT TOO LATE NOW TO SAY SORRY," Alex joined in with me.
"CAUSE IM MISSING MORE THAN JUST YOUR BODY OHH," I sang the next lyrics.
"OMG IVE GOT BIEBER FEVER," we screamed at the same time and started laughing hysterically.

About 2 JB songs and horrible singing later we finally arrived at Baskin Robins. Before getting out of the car I was about to pull out my wallet from my backpack until Alex asked me what I was doing.
"Pulling out my wallet," I told him.
"No need for that."
"What?" I asked him confused.
"I'm paying for it," he said with a little smile on his face.
"Oh no it's fine I got it."
"Come on just let me pay for it. It's the least I can do since you drove me here."
"Alex I got don't worry." I finally grabbed my wallet and closed the car door.
"Nope," he grabbed the wallet then opened and threw it in the backseat since I hadn't locked the door yet.
"Hey! Give me my wallet," I whined.
"Nope. Now lock the car door so it'll be safe."
"Ugh fine you win," I said while locking the door.

"Hey Danielle," I heard someone say. I turned around saw my friend Sarah behind the counter. "Hey Sarah," I said back. "So who's this?" She smirked while pointing at Alex. "Just I friend," I assured her. "Whatever you say," she smirked then giggled. "Haha very funny," I said sarcastically,"anyways the usual," I told her. "One banana split with extra sprinkles coming right up," she said while making it. Once she finished she asked Alex what he wanted and he just wanted a plain ice cream cone with vanilla. "Boring! Sarah get him what I'm having," I told her. "Coming right up," she said making another one.
"No thank you, I'll just take an ice cream cone," Alex told her.
"No he won't," I told Sarah, "get him the usual."
"But I-,"
"Shhh no buts. Trust me you'll love it," I assure him.
"Well if you say so."
"I do say so," I say in a matter-of-fact tone.

Alex pulls out a 20 dollar bill to pay her. "Nah keep your money bud, it's on the house," Sarah told him and pushed his hand away. "Are you sure?" He asked her. "Positive," she told him. "Thank you," he said giving her a small smile.

We went to go find a table and picked one near the window. "Oh my gosh this is so good," he said while taking a bit of his banana split. "I told you that you'd like it," I reassured him. "More like love it," he said with his mouth full and chocolate syrup falling down his chin. I busted out laughing and passed him a napkin and he wiped his mouth.
"So how are you liking Houston so far?" I asked him.
"I've only been here since July but so far I like it," he smiled.
"So where'd you move from?"
"Los Angeles, California."
"Wow, I've always wanted to go to LA," I said thinking about how beautiful it must be.
"Yeah it's cool down there. Especially the beaches and the malls," he said.
"So guessing since your from Cali I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume that you're a surfer," I said raising an eyebrow to see if I was correct.
"Actually I'm a skier," he said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Wow a skier from LA," I said surprised,"I did not see that coming."
"Yeah I know. Not your typical Cali boy am I."
"You can say that again," I laughed.
"Soooo you and Lea," I said and wiggled my eyebrows causing him to laugh.
"Yeah," he looked down and blushed.
"So I heard she ran into you with her bike."
"Yeah kind of painful," he laughed.
"I would imagine," I giggled.
We continued to talk about random things and joked around.
"I think I've found my first best friend here in Houston," he said.
"And who might that be?" I asked jokingly.
"I believe her name is Danielle but I've decided to call her Danny," he smirked.
"Oh really," I smirked, "well I think I've found my a new best guy friend."
"And who might that be," he mocked me.
"I believe his name is Alexander but he tells me to call him Alex but..."
"But what?" He asked confused.
"I've decided to call him Al," I laughed.
"Oh is that so Danny," he smirked.
"It is very so Al," I smirked back.

I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket and saw it was a group chat from the girls.
(D- Danielle, L- Lea, A- Alexis, M- Melanie, P- Phoebe, Ash- Ashley)
L- Hey ladies!
M- Hay girly!
A-Heyyyy!
L- So I was thinking about having a little get together at my house today. Sound cool?
P- Yeah sounds cool

D- Sounds cool, Al and I are on our way
L- Al?
D- Oh it's my nickname for him lol
L- Lol alright see you all soon :)

"Alright let's go. Lea is having a get together at her place," I told him.
"Alright," he said while getting up.
"Bye Sarah," I told her while Alex and I walked out and headed to the car.

The car ride was filled with horrible singing and many laughs until we got to Lea's house.
