Life with Franta

chapter 9

A few weeks later Jc, Ricky, And Kian finally moved into the small apartment. Since it was only a one bedroom apartment it was really hard to fit everyone's shit in. Since Connor and I don't mind sharing a bed, we gave the extra one to Ricky. I felt more comfortable with him living in the same room than the others, I don't really know.

Jc was doing much better and I was happy. Connor finally lightened up a bit and everyone just seemed to be happy.

We all decided to go out and eat at this new restaurant Lemonade. I heard it was pretty good.

Connor and I decided to take the rental car, while Jc, Kian and Ricky took my car. After we were done eating, Connor and I are going to return it. The boys would follow us there and we'd all pile in Connor's car on the way back.

It was a really nice day to be honest. it was really hot and sunny but breezy. Connor rolled down the windows and blasted some music. He turned on "Feel I Bring" by Aer and we jammed along.

It was just nice seeing all the palm trees again. Living in Minnesota for almost two years made me realize how much I miss California. I was just glad I could be the one to show the boys the beaches and shopping area. Even the Grove and City Walk.

We finally made it to Lemonade and we parked the car and waited for the boys inside. Once they got inside we all ordered. I got a sandwich and a latte while Connor got a salad and an iced coffee. Jc got a burrito and an iced tea while Kian got a fancy fajita and a coke and Ricky just got a Mac and cheese.

We all sat outside at a picnic table. It sat right on the edge of the restaurant closer to the street and people. Music played from the speakers near us and it was just really relaxing. Although it was a pretty sight it wasn't so pretty looking down at the table. There were ashtrays filled with cigarettes and gross plants surrounded us. But we managed.

As I was finishing up my sandwich, Connor brought out his vlog camera and started to vlog. I expected him to just vlog himself but I was so so wrong.

Connor thought it would be funny to shove the camera in my face while I had a mouth full of bread and other substances. I looked like a pig. Connor just laughed and I shoved the camera away. Jc laughed and Kian made a face.

"Isn't she sassy?" I heard Connor say into the camera.

"Am not!" I pouted.

"Oh really?" Connor smirked. He shoved the camera back into my face and once again I shoved it away.

"I just don't like when people film when I'm eating. Especially if like a hundred thousand plus people are going to watch it. What if a hot guy sees? It would be miserable." I joked. Connor played along and talked to the camera.

"So, I guess Mackenzie doesn't like me anymore." he pouted into the camera.

"You're gonna start drama now there little Bonster." Jc added. Connor shot him a death glare and then turned the camera off. He sipped into his latte softly and I giggled as I did the same.

"So Mackenzie, are you like gonna show us some amazing places soon?" Kian asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, I have a few to show you." I said.

"Like what?" Connor asked.

"That's for me to know and for you guys to find out later."

After we finished our little date we decided to head to the dealership and return the car. Finally we returned the car and we packed into Connors orange box car. Jc and Kian were in the front, while Ricky, Connor and I all were in the back. Connor and Ricky pulled out their cameras and started to vlog again. I swear they never put them down. I didn't complain though. Those vlogs and those videos they make are the reason we are living out here. It's what makes everything we do, and eat, and wear possible. Other wise we'd all be back in Minnesota wasting our summer doing absolutely nothing.

Once we returned home, Kian and Jc decided to go penny boarding around town. Ricky, Connor and I were home by ourselves bored out of our mind.

I just played around on my phone in the kitchen when I got a text. It was from Lindsay.

From: Linds

Just wanted to stop by and say you're a pathetic whore and you need to stay away from Connor because Acacia belongs with him (-:

I didn't know whether to be offended or laugh at her. As much as I miss her, this whole situation has turned her into a bitch. Ever since she became friends with Acacia. I even heard they are moving out here in about a month or so. YAY.

Connor walked through the kitchen with the biggest smile on his face.

"Whatsup?" he smiled

"Nothing, just replying to texts." My messages were open with Lindsay's pathetic text open. Connor walked over to me and grabbed my waist and stood on the side and looked at the phone. He suddenly backed away ripping the phone out of my hand.

"Umm, what was that for?" I asked curiously.

"Why are you still talking to her?" he demanded.

"I'm not, she texted me first."

"We'll why is she calling you a whore and to stay away from me? Acacia will never be with me." he frowned. I walked over and grabbed the phone from his hands. I set my phone down on the counter and wrapped my around around his neck. We inched closer.

"Don't be sad," I pouted. "Remember, you have me." I bit my lip and he punched my butt. I jumped backed and then looked at him. He was laughing hysterically.

"What?"

"Your butt is cute." he said innocently.

"Ream smooth, Franta. But you know that I don't like being surprised when Im not expecting it." Connor moved closer and before I could react, He picked me up throwing me over his shoulder.

"That's the point babe. That's why they call it a surprise." I smacked him on the back trying to get down but he was much stronger than me.

"Connor!" I yelled. "Put me down you bitch."

"Hey!" he yelled but in not a scary tone. "Im not a bitch."

"We'll you're acting like one." I said. He put me down and we were now in the living room.

"Oh c'mon I was just playing a little joke." he pleaded. I just sat down on the couch trying to be mad at him. But if you don't know me, I'm a very bad actor. I failed miserably.

"No, but really do you think I'm a bitch?" he asked seriously. Why would he ask such a question.

"Why you ask?" Connor's mood changed dramatically and I didn't know whether he was serious or this was another one of his games. Either way it didn't look too good.

"Well I don't know. Sometimes I do things to piss you off. I do things to you that you don't like. I shove a camera in your face when you don't like it. I irritate you a lot. I don't know it just seems lately you don't take me seriously anymore. It seems as if you've lost interest it me. Like you don't wanna marry me anymore."

"Baby, no." I put my arms on his shoulder and cuddled closer to him. "Don't think like that. Of course I take you seriously and of course I want to marry you."

"But I piss you off and make you mad. And I know I can be irritating. I'm sorry." he apologized.

"No, you don't actually. I joke around. I could care less if you poke my buttons and get me a little mad. That's what I love about you because I know in the end you love me, and I love you." Connor finally smiled.

"NO, but really. If I ever do piss you off or irritate you tell me." I nod and we decide to watch a movie. Ricky finally came out of the room after editing a video and Jc and Kian returned after a couple of hours.

Today wasn't really that exciting but I was just glad that everyone was here and I have people who love me and care about me.

Especially after this past year it's been crazy but I managed. I was just glad things were finally working out.

That night I snuggled into bed with Connor and fell fast sleep as soon and we wrapped our arms around each other. Hopefully tomorrow we do something a little more productive.
