Saving Him (#Wattys2016)

Ben and Jerry's

Allie is so going to kill me now, I thought as I was driving as fast as the speed limit would let me. After the incident, I had realized that Allie was still waiting for me at the airport.

It was hard to resist to go over the speed limit. If it weren't for that stupid, arrogant boy, by now I would have picked up Allie, we would have gone home and then gone to the beach, but now it was too late.

The sun was about to set and if we still made it on time to the beach, it wouldn't be as hot as it was a few hours ago.

I took a breath of relief when I saw the airport. Now as I was getting closer to the airport, I was starting to get nervous.

What if Allie changed? What if she got meaner? Or worse, what if she became a drama queen? Allie was never  a big drama queen. She just went with the flow, even when she didn't get it her way. Stop thinking these thoughts, Allie is the same Allie she was a year ago, I reassured myself.

I quickly found a parking space, parked and got out of the car and headed towards the airport. Once I reached inside, I stood on my tippy toes trying to find Allie in the maze of people. I finally spotted a huge sunhat and I instantly knew that was Allie because I gave her that hat before we headed to college.

"ALLIE! OVER HERE!" I yelled as loud as I could. Hearing my voice, she turned around and smiled. I ran through the crowd to get to her. She also started running and we both met in the middle and did a huge bear hug.

"Tori! It's been forever, oh my gosh I missed you so much" I looked up to see tears in her eyes. Allie may look like she is tough but when you got to really know her, she was a very emotional person. You don't know how many boxes of tissues she went through when we were watching the movie "Dolphin Tale".

"I missed you too! Stop crying, your going to make me cry too!"I wasn't really emotional but whenever someone was crying, it makes me sad, resulting in me crying.

"What took you so long though! I've been waiting here FOREVER!" Should I tell her why?

"Well you see, as I was driving here, some idiot guy crossed the road when he wasn't supposed to and I almost crashed into him..." Allie looked like she was constipated because she was trying to hold back her laughter. I don't know what was so funny! The guy looked like he was going to murder me even though it wasn't my fault.

I gave her a murderous look and her laughter quickly went away. She mumbled a sorry and grabbed her luggage.

"Ok well let's go then" I said excitedly. I took one of her bags and we headed out. After finding my car, we put the luggage in the back and started for home. Of course, Allie being the hungry hippo, asked if we could go to her favorite ice cream place, Ben and Jerry's.  So I guess that's where we're going.

"Oh my gosh!! We're here, we're finally here!!!" We just entered Ben and Jerry's and Allies excitement was a little too much excitement. She makes it look like she hasn't been out of the house in ages. Some of the customers were staring at us, they're probably thinking about how weird we are or just Allie.

"Can you please be quiet Allie!" I whispered as I elbowed her to shut up. Allie glared at me playfully but she kept quiet. We went to the cashier to give our orders. Every time we came here, we would pick our favorite ice cream all the time. We never tried to try any other.

"I would like the chocolate mint please" that's the one I loved. I could eat it everyday if I could.

"And I will have the chunky monkey please" And that was her favorite ice cream. I don't know what she sees in that but whatever. After we got our orders, we headed towards the corner window seat. We started eating our ice cream and we just sat there for a moment enjoying the ice cream melting into our mouths.

"So how is Ohio treating ya?" I always wondered how Ohio was.

"It's really cold there, but that's what I love most about it, I've been going skiing every Saturday and there is this really cute guy that works there!" Allie was always the one to fantasize about her prince charming coming for her one day.

I just laughed and got up to get some napkins because my hands were really sticky. As I was heading back to my seat, the bell rang indicating that a customer came in.

I looked up to see who it was and you would not believe who it was. There behold in his glory, the arrogant piece of poop who tried to cross the road, was standing less then 5 feet away from me.

At first he didn't see me, but when his eyes caught mine, lets just say he wasn't happy to see me either. You know the scene where the cowboy is in an old parlor and then suddenly the villain comes in and their having a stare down?

Well that was exactly what was happening, except I was the girl with Ben and Jerry's ice cream all over her hands and mouth and he was the guy with brooding eyes and nice hair. Wait did I just say that?

I shook head and I was trying to signal Allie with my eyes to rescue me but of course she had to pull her headphones and listen to music! I'm going to kill her later. For now I had to rely on my charm and smart ass comebacks.

"Hey!! What's up...dude" really Tori!! What's up dude?! That's the best you could come up with!! Okay I just needed to calm down. I took a deep breath and started to walk to my table when a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

"Are you following me now" Wait whatttt? This guy wasn't for real right?

"Ya! I just love stalking people who are arrogant pieces of poop!" I said with sarcasm in my voice. He looked at me and then smirked.

"So you think I'm arrogant?" Did he not hear the piece of poop part? I roll my eyes and headed back. Luckily this time he didn't stop me. I sat down and signaled Allie to remove her headphones.

"What took you so long to get napkins?" She asked with actual curiosity. This women is blind! I was less than 10 feet away from her when I was being man handled, well not really but whatever.

I rolled my eyes and whispered to her,

"You see that guy there ordering ice cream?" Pointing to the guy, Allie turned and nodded her head indicating that she saw him. "Well that's the guy I almost run over!" Allie looked at the guy once more and then what she said next was the least surprising,

"He's hot!!" Yup I saw that coming. I just shook my head and slouched back into the seat. I wanted to get out of here, so I stood up and told her that we were leaving. As we were about to open the door, he decided to speak.

"See ya later princess" I just glared at him and pushed the door open. Now being the kind person I am, I held the door open and as I turned around to make way for Allie, and you would it believe what I saw!! Well maybe you would. He winked at Allie and did one of his famous smirks! This guy was now also a FRIKKN flirt!! I rolled my eyes and pulled Allie because she got trapped in this weird boy charm thing wonderland.

"OH MY GOSH!!! Did you see that?!! He winked at me!" I just snorted.

"I bet he does that to every girl" I said with confident.

"Or maybe your just jealous he didn't wink at you, but he did call you princess" Allie said with a sly smile.

"Get in the car Allie!" I was not jealous okay? Why would I be? He was an arrogant, flirtatious piece of poop. Allie just huffs and gets in the car. Finally we can go home!!
