More Than This

31) Critical

(Macy pov)
I'm on a friend-date with Stone & we're at the restaurant.

"So how are you feeling?" Stone asked me.

"Honestly, I'm nervous." I said. 

"Don't be, You look amazing." Stone said smiling.

"Thanks, Stone." I said blushing as I smiled at him.

"Your welcome." Stone replied.

The waiter came to our table to get our orders.

"Yes, Can I please just have water?" I asked.

"I'll get chicken tender and French-Fries." Stone said as the waiter wrote down our orders then left.

"I wanna tell you something." I said.

"What is it?" Stone asked curiously.

"I know you had drama with Nick & you like me. But I think it isn't good." I said.

"What I'm saying is I want us just to be friend & I don't want you to upset Nick again over our friendship." I continued.

"What do you mean?" Stone asked.

"He doesn't like it when you don't respect how much I mean to him" I told him.

"Alright. I mean, I get what you're saying, and I'll try not to disrespect you guys relationship." He says.

"Thanks for understanding." I said as he nod.

Then the waiter came back with our order. We ate our food & drinks then we left to hang out at the park.

While Macy's on a friend-date with Stone, We continued working on the plan.

"We brought pepperoni & cheese pizza. Sprite and Coke soda." Kevin said.

"Good." I replied.

"Are we gonna play Your Biggest Fan, Critical, or Give Love A Try?" Kevin asked.

"We should do Critical & Give Love A Try." I told them.

"Okay." Joe & Kevin said at the same time.

We practiced "Critical" and it was pretty good.

"Okay. Guys, Let's do "Give Love A Try." I told them.

Then we practice performing the song Give Love A Try.

"Alright, Let's start the song again." I said. 

We practice both Critical & Give Love A Try again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

"Nick, Let's take a break." Joe suggested.

"But we have to make it perfect." I said.

"Nick. We performed the song 9 time, It's fine." Kevin told me.

"Fine isn't good enough, Stella, back me up." I said.

"I agree with Joe and Kevin, The song is fine beside I bet Macy will love it." Stella said.

"Really, You guys think so?" I asked them.

Yeah." Kevin, Joe & Stella answered at the same time. 

"Thanks, guys." I said as they nod.

"So what do you think happened in Macy's date with Stone?" Joe asked as I stared at him. 

I glare at Joe because of him saying "date" that Macy is in with Stone.

"You know what, I'm gonna call her." I said as I went to call Macy on the house phone.
