Playful Best Friends

The boy ... No, not boy, man, pushed his ebony locks that fell around his eyes off his face to stare at the girl more closely. His dimpled cheeks pulled into a smile and his hazel eyes sparkled at the sight of her laughing with her friends. He slid his hand into his jean pocket to feel out his gift to make sure it was still there and safe. He stroked the chain then pulled his hand back out and pushed his hair back again. He zipped up his black jacket to hide himself from the chill and made his way towards her . . .

Emma laughed, her turquoise eyes sparkling in the sun, as Ashley dropped her ice cream down the front of her white camisole. She pushed her long blonde hair out of the way and cursed. "Damn it! This is why I shouldn't be trusted with drippy things." Ash stated with a pout while trying to lick off the ice cream, it wasn't working. Toby, Ashes boyfriend, who looked like a homeless person half the time with brown hair down to his chin and brown eyes that always held a cheeky glint. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her torso. "Now, why would you say that? You're really good with my drippy thi-" Toby started to say but got stopped by Ashley elbowing him in the stomach. Emma laughed again at their silly antics and grabbed her chestnut hair into her fist to fan her neck then nearly jumped out of her skin when someone picked her up bridal style. "Ty!" Emma squealed and put her arms around his neck. Tyler Laughed and nuzzled his head by her neck, tickling her with his stubble. "I got you something, Emzie." Tyler put Emma down and ran back to his car. She looked at him confused then looked at what he had in his hand, a stuffed panda! "Thank you, thank you and thank you! How did you find it?! This one is really rare." she jumped into his waiting arms and squeezed him. "Well, it took a lot of work but you're my best friend and you kept mentioning you wanted it. So I went and got it." He smiled and set Emma down again. Now she could add it to her collection.

"I love you, Tyler, so much!" Tyler grinned and pulled Emma into a side hug.

"Love you more."

At Tyler's house, after they got home from the ice cream shop, Emma finally noticed something. She looked at his arms while he was intensified by the movie they were watching, she hadn't noticed while at the shop but Tyler had gotten stronger and beefier, his muscles flexed as he moved closer to her unconsciously. His shirt had slipped up halfway through the film and she noticed he had a slight six pack. "Are you checking me out?" He smirked while looking at her."What?! No?" it sounded like a question when she said denied it and his smirk grew bigger. She started blushing then pouted "Fine ... I was." He grinned then and went to say something but stopped when she cut in. "But! Only because your muscles have grown and you have a six pack! When did this happen?" His face suddenly became guarded and he moved away from her to sit at the other end of the sofa. "I don't mean it's bad . . ." she said quietly and moved closer to him to set a hand on his arm but he stiffened when he saw it coming so she pulled it back.

"I know." He sighed and looked at her with a small smile, like that closed off moment a couple of minutes ago didn't happen.

"You think I'm a sexy beast." He indicated with a long drawn out sigh. "The only way to fix you is for you to never. Look. At. My. Six. Pack. . . Again." He pulled his t-shirt down to make it look baggy; Emma loved this side of him. It was fun and playful. She put her hand to her forehead and put her head back. "Oh! How will I ever live? To not see your six pack, is like to never see the sun!" she cried out, playing along. He Laughed and tackled her on the sofa. "Are you making fun of me, Emzie?" he whispered and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear. This was getting too serious, she thought with a nervous chuckle. She went to push him off of her but couldn't because he wouldn't move. "Ty, get up, unless you want me to pee on you..." His eyes widened and he couldn't get up fast enough. "That was plain mean!" Tyler playfully whined. Emma laughed and got up. "It got you off me, didn't it?" she asked with a smile. When she left the room the smile she had on for Tyler vanished.

The next morning Emma came down stairs to find Tyler on the sofa sleeping. She yawned and walked casually over to him. She looked down at his sleeping form. His black hair that always looked shiny was ruffled over his eyes and his face that held a strong jaw from chewing gum all the time was squished between his arm, which he must have flung over his face in the night, and the arm of the sofa. He looked peaceful. Even with a squished face. He kind of looked like a fish, she thought with a giggle.

She leaned close to his ear, "Tyler..." she whispered dragging out his name. When he didn't stir she said Tyler's name again. When he still didn't wake up, she had to go to drastic measures, tickling him. She carefully moved her body to sit over Tyler's back because his front was facing the sofa. His bum was a nice comfy seat to sit on to start her tickling fest. Here we go she thought with a silent giggle. He started moaning and wiggling around in his sleep while Emma was snorting with laughter. She wasn't even trying to hide it anymore but she still skilfully tickled him.

"Emma!" Tyler suddenly shouted causing Emma to jump and for Tyler to get the momentum to switch their positions. Emma shouted out with shock when he switched places with her. She started laughing all over again when she saw his face.

"Oh ... My ... God!" She gasped out and started laughing again. He looked at her confused with a little smile playing at the edge of his lips. "What?" He questioned. "Look at your face in the mirror." She said still giggling.

Tyler got up and went over to the mirror in the heavily pictured hall. His mother went a bit crazy when decorating. The entire cream coloured wall up the stairs had pictures of Tyler, His two sisters that were twins, Jasmine and Katie and all of his family except his father. His mother and father had a divorce when Tyler was seven and Emma was six, he didn't cry or look sad at all when his mum and dad broke the news to him. They were shocked and worried and even asked him to cry if he wanted to and to even go to his room until he felt the need to talk to them. He went to his room but after thinking for a while went to go down stairs to say he was okay about the divorce but he had heard his father telling his mother how weird he was for a seven year old boy. He left the house and went over to Emma's. He didn't go back home for a week and never talked to his father again.

"So, do you like the makeover the sofa did to your face?" Emma asked with a cheeky smile while staring at him in the mirror. He smiled softly at her. He didn't know what he would do without her. He finally took notice of his face and cringed. It was full of red marks and creases from the weird angle he was sleeping at. He should of just went into his bed with Emma but he's a gentlemen and it would have been awkward with his morning wood.

Emma yawned again and walked into the kitchen. "Make me something to eat, woman, me man and me need food to help pick up woman." Tyler growled out in a cave man voice while picking her up with one arm. "Tyler! Put me down, I'm starving. All that work out from walking down the stairs then waking you up has given me a big appetite. So, you make me food." She fluttered her eyelashes and smiled up at him. He looked down at her and gave out a groan when she gave the puppy dog eyes. "Fine! But this is the last time, Emzie." She laughed because he said that every time and he always had a cheeky smile while saying it. He put his arm around her and kissed her forehead. She pushed him away with a playful grimace and sat down to watch him cook.

After they ate Tyler's tasty but slightly burnt English breakfast, they crashed on the sofa with a sigh. "I need to get ready." Emma groaned out while rubbing her stomach. Tyler turned his head to face her. "Why? You look sexy in jammies." He smirked and ran his eyes up and down her 'jammies'. Emma laughed and pushed his shoulder. She sat up and moved to stand up but then twisted so she was leaning on her hands. She was face facing the sofa with her bum in the air and her legs straight on the ground. She turned her head to look at her body then turned to look at Tyler with an eyebrow raised. "I do look sexy in these jammies. But I still have to change. I have a date."
