Chapter Seven

We didn't leave until about one in the afternoon. David was so sweet enough to let me steal shotgun from Jason. I stuck my tongue out at him before happily sitting my butt in the passenger seat. Jason rolled his eyes playfully before sliding into the backseat.

"You choose your girlfriend over your best friend? Come on David," Jason joked, but my face heated up when he said the word girlfriend. Apparently David's did too, because when I looked over at him he was redder than a fucking tomato.

"First of all Jason," David started as he pulled out of the driveway to his house. "She's not my girlfriend. She's too bitchy to be my girlfriend." I looked over at him before connecting my fist into his shoulder. He laughed out in pain, taking a hand off the wheel to rub his arm.

"And you're too dumb to my boyfriend. Moving on," I snarled, but I could hear a voice in my head that was telling me to take it back. I didn't mean it though, and David knew that...right?

"Yeah sure..and second of all, you're not my best friend," David eyed Jason through the rear view mirror. "You're old enough to be my father." We all laughed a little, because we knew that was a joke. Even off camera David still manages to keep up with the characters everyone plays on his blogs.

About twenty minutes into the drive, my eyes was glued to the window. I tried to focus on the scenery instead of Jason's loud snoring in the backseat. If it didn't stop soon I was about to hurl myself out the window.

I was snapped out of my trance when a hand fell onto my shoulder. I turned around to see David looking straight at me. I would have almost had a mini heart attack if didn't remember it's a self driving car.

"What do you want David," I asked, repositioning my body to face towards him. He smiled a little before looking down at the seat. He seemed embarrassed for some reason.

"About what I said, you being too bitchy to be my girlfriend," he led on from what he was about to say. I raised my brow, confused. "You know I didn't mean that right?" He looked at me, his nose scrunched in embarrassment.

Odd...I thought he knew I didn't take it to heart? I never do, he knows that. Why was this any different? But I giggled a little and nodded, looking out the windshield towards the road.

"Yeah I know, although you're not wrong. I'm pretty bitchy," I replied. David chuckled and shook his head in reply to say that I wasn't. I rolled my eyes a little, but I didn't want to argue about that with him. "Just like you know you're not too dumb to be mine, right?"

David all of a sudden smiled. It was a different type of smile, one that I've never seen before. I couldn't tell what he was feeling inside when I had said that to him.

"Yeah...I know," he muttered. David smiled at me normally before taking his eyes back to the road. "Glad we cleared that up."

"Yeah...so am I," I whispered, taking my own eyes to the road.

I kept pushing the thoughts to the back of my mind all day. I couldn't think of that now, not when I need to be there for David. This was his day, and I wasn't going to ruin the mood by thinking of things I shouldn't be thinking of.

Right now I focused on how I wanted to look for him. I don't know why I wanted to try so hard.

I really am turning into a desperate teenager in love. Ew, gross. Like it's really fucking gross.

I was lucky enough to share a suite with Liza and Gabbie. Great, now I can "calmly" talk about David and other things that make me question my very existence here on this earth.
