Running Bases With You

Chapter 2

Talia Griffin is above ^^^

"You ready yet?"

"Almost, just give me a minute to find my shoes.."

I go into my room and look under my bed to find my black converse with neon orange and green shoestrings. I put them on over my mismatched socks and grab my car keys. When I walk back into the living room, Talia is standing by the door holding her keys in her hand.

"Oh no no no! Today, I'm driving!" She protests.

I huff in annoyance and roll my eyes while she jerks the keys out of my hand and throws them on the coffee table.

She opens the door and walks outside to the car. I quickly follow after her, slamming and locking the door to the flat behind me.

When I get in the car, Talia slips on her sunglasses and cranks up the engine. She turns the music up loud and let's down the roof of her dark blue convertible. We both buckle up and I put on my sunglasses as well.

Before pulling out of the driveway, Talia turns to me and pulls her sunglasses down a bit and looks over them at me seriously.

"Today, we are going to have fun. Forget about Sam for the day, and just enjoy girl time. Let loose! Got it?"

I just stare at her for a few seconds before nodding my head and agreeing. She smiles and pushes her sunglasses back over her eyes, now satisfied. She backs out of the driveway and we head to the mall.

"Annabeth!"

"What?"

"Are you almost done? Because I am STARVING!"

I laugh at my best friend's love for food. She always says, "I'm too pretty for guys, so I just stick to food." She can eat as much as a horse and more, and she gains absolutely nothing. I could almost swear that she's related to Niall Horan.

"I'm almost finished, this is the last thing I have to try on!"

She groans. "Uhggg, fine! Hurry up!"

I shake my head and sigh in annoyance, but I quickly pull over the sparkly black dress. It's strapless and it stops just above my knees. It doesn't reveal too much cleavage, so I thought it would be the perfect dress for tonight.

Clubbing night.

I zip it up on the side and adjust it correctly so it feels comfortable. I examine myself in the dressing room mirror and finally satisfied, walk out to show it off to Talia.

"So...what do ya think?" I ask nervously.

Her eyes look like they're close to falling out of their sockets, and I could almost swear that her jaw is a foot away from touching the floor. She rakes her eyes up and down the dress before smiling mischievously.

"I think that you, my friend, look drop dead SEXY! The lads at the club won't be able to keep their eyes off of you!" She squeals. "Or their hands..." She smirks cheekily wiggling her eyebrows up and down.

I roll my eyes at her. She's such a pervert sometimes. And then realization dawns on me.

"I can't wear this dress tonight."

Talia stops smiling and screams. "WHAT! WHY?!"

"Because in case you've forgotten, I have a BOYFRIEND!" I scream back.

She scoffs. "Well incase you've forgotten, your boyfriend is a total DOUCHE!"

I ignore her rude comment and walk back into the dressing room to take off the dress. I don't escape her for long, because she follows me in. She grabs me by the arm and turns me around, looking me dead in the eye. If looks could kill, I'd be long gone.
