Sorry in advance

"Ugh, he's walking over here! Sorry in advance!"

My friend Nate and I are pretty close. We've known each other for years and there's not really anyway for us to be awkward around each other and I love it.

We wanted to enjoy the summer and decided to go out for the day in our town center. Just get around by walking, have lunch, get some ice cream and do some shopping. Just a casual day.

"Nate, don't think you need another pair of black jeans." I snickered. "Y/N, I'm not sure if you knew but black jeans are the essential. You can never have too many." I simply rolled my eyes. "Just remember that the longer we're in here, the longer it takes to get ice cream." I began walking away, waiting for Nate to follow. "WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS SOONER. LET'S GO." Nate quickly dropped the jeans and whisked me away from the store, now on the hunt for the ice cream parlor.

"It's right down that street." I pointed to the right of us as Nate simply tagged along. "Ok. Wait who's paying because I don't think we-" I quickly pushed Nate into the store closest to us and peered my head out. "Explain." "What?" "Please tell me why you just pulled me into this random store. I was expecting my ice cream and not-" Nate glanced around the store we were in. "Not makeup and short skirts." I didn't realize how lost my friend would be. "Sorry, sorry sorry. I just ah- I saw my ex, Keith, and I really don't wanna face him. You were there during the aftermath. You know how he is. I don't want him to try anything so it's easier, well at least for me do avoid him." I looked down. "Sorry I just acted on impulse." Nate let out a huff of air. "Yeah, I do remember that so I can't blame you. Just, can we go now? I'm not a fan of this place." I brought him out and we continued towards the parlor.

*time skip*

Nate and I stood outside of the parlor. We were happy to finally have made it, the sun had been beating down on us all day. "Again I'm sorry for earlier ok? I'll pay to make it up to you." Nate once again sighed at my apology. "Seriously Y/N it's fine and you don't need to do that. I'm perfectly fine because I don't want you to be in an weird situation." I smiled "Nate, you know you can't decline free ice cream so let's go." I grabbed his hand and made our way inside. "Nate, here's the money, I'll go get a table." He nodded as I went on my way.

"Here we are (flavor of choice)." Nate handed me the cone with a smile. "Thank you." We sat at a booth near the back of the parlor which gave us a nice view of the setting sun and the other pedestrians. Nate began talking about some new music he was working on and I did pay close attention until a familiar face walked into the parlor. Keith. I began to attempt shielding my face with my hat. "Umm Y/N? Ya listening?" I hummed in response to Nate. I glanced making sure Keith wasn't looking in my direction and accidentally caught his eye. He waved and held up a finger, mouthing he would come over in a minute.

"Ughh" I groaned as I hit my head on the table. "Y/N?" Nate showed concern as to which I grunted in response. "What's wrong now?" "Look in the line." Nate looked over and saw the same thing as me. "Ahh." "Yeah he's coming over after he gets his stuff. Why me." Nate quickly grabbed my arm and ushered me up and out of the parlor, deciding to move us over to some other nearby tables. "Thank you." Nate just gave me a side hug and we sat down.

Five minutes later our ice cream is done and Nate explains how he needs to go back to get those black jeans. We stand up about to get on our way as that same face comes into view. Nate clearly saw the annoyance on my face. "Nate it's him again." I said almost in a growl. "Well we can just go to the-" before he could finish his sentence I cut him off. "Ugh he's coming over here! Sorry in advance!" I said as Keith approached closer  to us. "Sorry for wha-" I cut him off once again grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and kissed his lips passionately. He was surprised at first but slowly everything fell into place. His arms were around my waist with his eyes closed shut and I moved mine to loop around his neck and began to mess with his hair as Keith approached us.

"Uhm, Y/N?" Me and Nate parted for air. "Oh hi Keith, sorry you had to see that." I slowly walked in front of Nate and got closer to Keith as Nate wrapped his arms protectively around my waist. "Yeah um" Keith coughed. "It's nice seeing you're doing well after our break. Who's the new ah-" "Nate. I was her friend while you were dating but it seems you don't remember." Nate tightend his hold on my waist. "It's nice seeing you both again. Hey um Y/N I was hoping we could maybe star to hang out again or uhm-" he cleared his throat. "Maybe we could talk Ya know. Alone." Keith gestured towards Nate. "Nope. Anything you can say to her means I can hear too." Nate said placing a kiss on my cheek. "Well ah-" Keith started. "Y/N I would like to start seeing you again. I know I made a mistake leaving and cheating on you but I'd like you to give me another chance." Keith could feel Nate staring daggers at him. "But it seems you have someone who can do a better job than me at being a good boyfriend. But please just know I'm sorry." Keith put his arms out for a hug and I tapped Nate, trying to signal him to let go which he did hesitantly. "If things don't work out call me." Keith whispered in my ear. I scoffed. "As if. Come on Nate let's go." I spit with venom in my tone. Nate once again wraps me in a protective embrace as we move away from that scene.

Once we get a good distance away I get Nate's attention. "Hey lover boy." I said, a playful tone in my voice. "Thanks for back there." I pulled him into a hug which he glady  returns. "It's no problem Y/N. Anything to help." "Now I definitely owe you. Pick something. Anything to return the favor." "I actually think I'll just have the same thing you gave me for free earlier." I cocked my head to the side, confused. Nate let out a chuckle. "Here's a reminder." Nate tilted my head up and placed his hands on my hips connecting our lips. I was the shocked one this time. But I soon melted into the kiss, linking my arms like before as he placed his hands like before.

We departed for air and Nate could see my blushing cheeks. He pulled me into another side hug and began walking around the center more. "This pretend boyfriend thing is fun."  Nate said with a smirk.
