My Best Friend's Boyfriend

Six

I woke up and hopped out of bed. I walked downstairs and sat at the table. "Morning mom." I said. "Good morning Gabby." She said. I started eating and Devin walked downstairs. "Morning ma, morning geek." He said. "Morning dweeb." I said. "Oh Gabby the daycare center called and your spot was filled." My mom said. "That's fine." I said. "You aren't mad?" She asked. "Nope." I said.

"Well Blake and I are going to the mall wanna come?" Devin asked. "Yeah!" I said. I finished eating and walked upstairs. I went to the bathroom and got in the shower. I washed up and washed my hair. I got out and wrapped the towel around me. I walked back to my room and shut the door. I put on a black bra and matching panties. I put on a Melanie Martinez cry baby shirt. I put on high waisted jeans and white low top converse.

I took my hair out of the bun and grabbed my purse and phone. I walked downstairs and saw Blake. "Hey Blake." I said then hugged him. "Hey." He said hugging back. I pulled away and Devin walked downstairs. "Y'all ready?" He asked. "Yeah." We said. We walked out and got in Blake's car. Blake drove off and I started singing along to stressed out by twenty one pilots.

"Gabby why do you know every song?" Devin asked. "Because I'm amazing." I said. Blake laughed as we pulled up at the mall. We got out and walked inside. "We meet up at the food court in an hour." Devin said. I nodded and went to hot topic. I got shirts and jeans. I left and headed to the jewelry store. I got necklaces and earrings. Alex is just gonna steal them but I enjoy fussing with her about it. I'm weird okay deal with it!

I walked out of the store and started walking around. I was walking when I saw Vincent and Alex walking out of the pet shop. "Gabby!" Alex yelled. I quickly turned around and started walking away. "Gabby stop being mean." She said. I yelped and jumped. "I told you to stop doing that." I said catching my breath. "Your reaction is hilarious." She said laughing.

"What do you want?" I asked. "I wanted to show you my tattoo." She said. "Wait you got a tattoo?" I asked. "Yeah its on my ankle." She said lifting her floor length skirt up. "All I see is love." I said. "That's the tattoo love." She said. "So original." I said sarcastically. "Whatever, what are you doing here?" She asked. "I'm here with Blake and Devin." I said.

She nodded and Vincent walked over. This just got awkward. "Hey Gabby." He said. "Hey Vincent." I said. He smirked at me and I smiled. "Okay babe we should get going." Alex said with an annoyed tone. "Okay, Gabby I'm coming over tomorrow for the project." He said. "Okay bye." I said then walked away.  I got onto the escalators and went up.

"There you are." Devin said as I sat down. "Hey guys I ran into Alex." I said. "Oh okay." He said. "We got you chicken nuggets." Blake said. "Aw thank you." I said. I started eating and Devin's phone buzzed. "Yes!" He said. "What?" I asked. "I'm going on a date with Chloe." He said. "Good for you." I said. "Can we go?" I asked. "Go where?" Blake asked. "Take me home." I said. He nodded and we stood up. We threw our things in the trash and walked out.

We got in Blake's car and he drove off. "What did you get from the mall?" Devin asked. "The regular." I said. "Oh ok." He said. "Did you have fun at the party last night?" Blake asked. "It was okay." I said. "Mhmm." He replied. "Shut up Blake." I said. "I didn't say anything?" He said. I rolled my eyes and my phone buzzed.

Alex Bf: Missing your lips!

Me: It's your anniversary leave me alone!

Alex bf: But.....

Me: No buts shut up and leave me alone!

Alex bf: I'll be over tomorrow 😏

Me: See you then.....

I locked my phone and sighed. Maybe I should tell Alex. I hate keeping secrets from her. But I liked him first. Maybe he just wants me to be a fling. If that's what he thinks then he can mosey on with Alexandria. "Gabby!" Devin said. "Yeah." I said. "We're here." He said. I got out of the car and we walked inside.

"Hey guys." My mom said. "Hey mom." We said. "I have an emergency surgery so I'll be out for awhile." She said. "Okay good luck." I said. She kissed our heads then left. "Party!" Devin yelled. "No!" I said. "Party pooper." He said. "Shut up." I said. I walked upstairs and went to my room. I put the clothes I brought in my closet and put the jewelry in the box.

I walked to my bed and laid down. I pulled the cover over my face and drifted off to sleep.
°°°°°°°

I was woken up from my amazing nap by loud music. I'm gonna kill Devin. I got out of bed and walked downstairs. The smell of alcohol slapped me in face. I walked to the living room and turned the music off. "Where is Devin!" I yelled. "In the bathroom!" Someone yelled. I stomped to the bathroom and opened the door. Devin was making out with Chloe in the bathtub. I grabbed him by his ear and pulled him out.

"Sis what is your problem?" He snapped. "Mom would freak if she saw all these people here!" I said. "And?" He asked. "Well get groun-" I was cut off by the sound of the front door slamming. "Gabrielle and Devin!" My mom yelled. "See dweeb!" I said. I pulled Devin out and saw my mom's death stare. "First I want everyone out of my house!" She snapped. Everyone scattered like roaches being exposed to light.

Devin and I walked to the living room and sat down. "Who is responsible?" She asked. "Devin." I said. "Why in the world did you think that this would be acceptable?" She asked. "It was fun." He said shrugging. "Well then give me all your electronics and your grounded until your father gets here." She said. She walked upstairs and I laughed at Devin. "Mr. Cool." I said then stood up.

I walked upstairs and went back into my room. I sat on my bed and my phone rang. "Hello." I said. "Vincent broke up with me." Alex said sounding like she's been crying. "What." I said. "Just kidding!" She yelled. "Haha very funny." I said. "I know right." She said. "I'm glad you called because there is something I have to tell you..."
