"Not at all because you're sweaty and disgusting" he says. "Wow" I say walking away. He grabbed my hand. "Im just joking baby, i love you" he says kissing me all over. "Nope" I say trying to get up. "Yes, Ill let you go when you forgive me" he says "Shit i guess you won't let go" i shrugged.  "Babyyyyy" he says rocking me. "I like your style" I sing. "grips on your waist" he says. "Front ways back ways" i sing. "Theyre so dysfunctional you guys i swear" Tessa says. "Hey!" i yell pointing to her. "Hey!" she turns around. "Heyyyy" we both say smirking. "Now get off me, i forgive you damn" I say getting out his grip.
