FEAR ▷ Denis Stoff

"Let's go to the mall." Ben declared and launched himself to the door.

"Chill, mate." Denis laughed.

"Why not? We haven't got anything else to do all day." I shrugged.

"Yeah let's go." Ciara agreed.

"I call shotgun!" Ben yelled and ran down the hall to Denis' car parked outside the hotel.

"He's such a child." Ciara laughed as she shut the door after we were all out.

"Yeah he is." Denis agreed and took my hand.

After a long car ride of Ben screaming words to Slipknot songs, we finally arrived. I learned that he had such a low attention span and it was hilarious.

I hopped out of the car, almost falling on the concrete in the process. I caught myself by grabbing the top of the door. My hand was scratched a bit, but it was bearable. Ben on the other hand, completely fell to the ground. Denis just laughed at him as he took my other hand.

Ben groaned and reached for something to pull him up. Ciara held out her hand and helped him stand up.

"Thank you love." He said as he was stood up.

She rolled her eyes, laughing. We all made our way to inside the mall.

"What are we even here for?" I asked.

"I don't know. I think they have a carousel in here." Denis shrugged.

"Damn, then let's go!" I smiled.

"Of course, baby."

Ben let out a squealing noise.

"I called it! James owes me fifty bucks!" He yelled.

"What are you talking about, Benjamin?" Denis looked at him and chuckled.

"Me and James bet on how long it would take you to ask Sofia out!"

"Of course you did." He sighed and walked on, shaking his head.

I followed and laughed.

"Cotton candy." Denis stated after walking for a bit.

"What?" I looked at him.

"We can get cotton candy, like at the fair." He smiled and walked over there, leaving me sitting on a bench with Ben and Ciara.

"Why can't you do cute things like Denis?" Ciara punched his arm lightly.

"Ouch!" He yelped, "I'll go get cotton candy too!"

"Have fun. I have to go to the bathroom." I stood up.

"I'm coming with." Ciara announced and stood up too.

"Girls are fucking weird." Ben muttered under his breath as he walked away.

We walked off the other way towards the bathroom.

"So when did you and Mr. Stoff make it official?" Ciara nudged me, smiling.

"A couple days ago." I laughed.

"How did he ask?"

"We were laying in my bed cuddling. I don't need a flashy one. I'm very happy with anything, really."

"It's cute nonetheless."

"Agreed. He's such a softie. It's so adorable." I couldn't stop smiling, talking about my boyfriend.
