"How many people are coming again?" Bea leaned against the cart pushing it behind me slowly, as we went down the snack aisle.

"Well it'll be You, Harry, Me, Zayn, Niall, Liam, Ashton, and Calum." I counted on my fingers thinking for a second.

"Harry said he was going to invite someone, but I'm not sure they're coming. So, 8 people so far." I added on grabbing a few bags of chips throwing them into the cart.

"Speaking of the devily handsome man, you mentioned him acting weird when you saw Zayn again?"

"Yeah, Bea I have no idea what happened. One second we were smiling and laughing then right after he meets Zayn he's acting like a," I trailed off in frustration not being able to find a word.

"Jerk?"

"No, well yes, but no how he used to act. Remember before he apologized about acting that way?"

"Yes, but it seems different. Do you think he has feelings for you?" She rose her eyebrow a smirk on her face.

"Harry like me? No, of course not we are just partners. He doesn't date anyways Bea."

"You don't have to date someone if you have feelings for them. Angie, think about it. He got upset over Zayn hugging you, and do you even notice how he glares at any male that looks at you?"

"No, because there are no feelings between us. We're just friends who've kissed once or twice." I mumbled watching Bea as she continued her walking.

Bea shrugged her shoulders giving up pushing the cart towards the Ice cream.

"Don't we have enough Ice Cream at home?" I asked referring to the 12 containers filled with the sugary treats.

"There's always room for more," Shrugging her shoulders she put two more cartons of Ice Cream into the overfilled basket. "This is going to cost a fortune."

"I told you not to come because you were hungry. We always get more than we need when one of us are hungry."

"Hey, who's paying for it again?" Stopping in her tracks to put a hand on her hip.

"I am Bea," I said in the same tone of sarcasm copying her pose. "You're lucky too because with this paycheck I'll be making I could buy three baskets of these and not worry." I walked out the aisle towards the checkout.

"That's also why don't mind you moving in." I gave her a bright smile as I placed the items on the checkout counter. "You basically live there anyway," I added watching the cashier ring up my items.

"So does Harry," I rolled my eyes, swiping my card, i then grabbed my receipt, and thanked the worker. "Angelica, please at least admit you have feelings for the guy. How he acted wouldn't have bothered you as much as it is if you didn't like him." She edged on bumping her shoulder into mine.

Rolling my eyes I unlocked my silver sedan lifting the trunk. "I don't like him. I don't have any feelings for him that aren't friendly. We kissed but that's in the past we've agreed that isn't happening anymore." I said sternly organizing the groceries.

"You know I'm focusing on myself and my career right now. I can't risk my one good shot at an amazing job for some guy. "I added with a slam of the trunk.

"Life is full of risk. I know I was the one to tell you to be careful, but also let me be the one to tell you that not all guys are the same. You're happy when you're around him." I looked into her eyes that seemed to hold more than what she wanted to say, but I ignored it.
