I pulled into the small parking space in front of Enzo's and put my car in park as Krista and Scott pulled in behind me shortly after. I put on a quick coat of lipstick before grabbing my phone and wallet out my tote bag and quickly jumping out the car and trailing in the cafe behind the two others quietly while they quickly found a small booth by a window in front of the restaurant for us to sit at.

I sat in one half of the booth alone, while the other in the opposite; their hands intertwined."So, you guys are together huh?"

Scott leaned back in his booth as he put his arm around my best friend, "One month, four days, and counting." He smiled rubbing her arm possessively.

I nodded slowly positioning myself to sit cris-cross on the seating as the waiter came for our drinking orders.

"Two sprites for me and my beautiful girl, and what for you Mol?"

I saw Krista's big round grey eyes grow wide as she let her boyfriend's compliment sink in, "Um, I'll just take a Sherley Temple thanks!"

The waitress grinned and jotted down our drinks as she walked away with a slight prep to her walk.

"So how'd you guys meet?" I asked looking at Kris as she broke eye contact with Scott; her face still stained with the compliments' blush.

"We met at a paintball tournament lobby and talked for a while and he told me how good he was and that he'd been playing since he was a little kid. He almost always won the game sp he says" she smiled nudging him playfully "His dad used to pick on him because he loved to play until he was the last player standing and everyone was covered in paint and tears." She looked at Scott as she told the story - eyes bright and filled with nostalgic joy.

"Yeah, then the game started and we went in together, as of course expected I was doing pretty shitty and every few shots I'd be getting reloaded & I'd get hit by this jerk face in the ass, but luckily - Scott being the gentleman he is, saw and defended me and kindaaaa shot the guy in the face and got himself disqualified and obviously I wasn't staying in there alone not to mention this guy just saved me from a literal ass whippin' so I followed him out and thanked him for saving me."

I laughed at her self-confidence as Scott finished the story, "So we continued to talk as we walked out the alley and this little cutie asked me out to a date at Ikea"

She blushed, wiping a lock hair behind her hair, "In my defense, it was the closest place with food and Ikea is bomb-ass sooo"

Scott and I laughed as he kissed her on the cheek, "You know I would've said yes to anywhere as long as it was with you."

I watched the two exchange similar looks of affection and her eyes glow when he winked, he made her happy, and as much as I hated to admit it, it made him a little more...acceptable I guess.

Soon enough our drinks came and we ordered our food while we got to know watch other and shared stories of Krista and her weirdness.

Scott seemed generally nice and he offered to pay for my meal which was sweet but I had to decline, I didn't wanna be a hassle.

...

I left before the two; because I promised I'd go to the beach with my friend Jamie later since we hadn't seen each other since 12th-grade year and he'd just moved back home for a few months.
