Incoming FaceTime: David Dobrik
"okay hear me out," david's voice came through alexis's phone speaker as clear as day, "my car is charging at home right now and alex convinced me to go out with him, but he left to go hook up with some girl he met and now i have no ride. so please be the bestest friend in the whole wide world and pick me up."

"ugh, i hope you know how much i hate you right now," alexis grumbled getting out of bed to put on a pair of leggings and one of david's old hoodies, leaving her phone on the bed.

"thank you so much i'll make it up to you, i promise," david's wide smile took over her screen.

"hell yeah you owe me," alexis grabbed her phone and keys, then headed down to the parking garage of her apartment complex while making small talk with david so she felt less lonely. "oh, i almost forgot, where are you?"

"yaknow the buffalo wild wings down the street from my old apartment? i'm outside the bar like 3 blocks over. just check my location." she could see david looking down at his screen, his 5 o'clock shadow accentuating his cheekbones and slight second chin.

"that's such an attractive angle, you should try that one more often," alexis giggled looking down at her screen the same way.

"oh very funny, allie. hurry up i'm bored." david said adjusting the camera angle.

"don't rush me, dobrik. this is charity work remember." she laughed while getting in her car, starting the engine. "hey, i'll call you when i get there."

"oh, alright. seeya!" david hung up and alexis made her way to his location.

she pulled up to the bar to see david with his vlog camera. he turned off his camera as he saw her pull up. he plopped down in the passenger seat. "can you just stay at my place?"

"sure, why?"

"we haven't had a david and allie night in like two months," he said jutting his bottom lip out into a pout.

"that's because david is always too busy filming and editing," alexis said in a childish tone, even though she knows his vlogs are important him.

"hey, that's unfair. plus you don't like being in the vlogs, so that's your fault." david retorted. "actually, ever since i've started vlogging you never told me why you don't like being in them."

"oh, there's no real reason, i just don't want my face used for your financial gain." alexis gave him a sarcastic answer because she wanted to avoid him knowing the truth. in almost seven years of them being best friends, david has never noticed alexis's colossal crush on him. she's always found david attractive, and he knows that. but it wasn't until alexis moved to california that she realized her true feelings for him. another reason why alexis prefers not to be the vlogs is to keep her life private. it's complicated with david dobrik as her best friend, but she manages by keeping all of her social media on private. david and the rest of the vlog squad respected that.

"whatever you say, allie." david looks at her with his eyebrows raised. oh, and that's another thing: david is the only person who calls alexis 'allie,' he says no one else is allowed to. "oh, i call dibs on movie"

"fine, i'm going to sleep anyways." i said pulling into david's driveway after the 15 minute drive. "oh, can you text lainey and say that i'm sleeping over?"

david unlocks her phone and shoots her roommate the quick text.

alexis sat cross legged on david's bed with a bowl of popcorn in her lap, waiting for david to decide from the plethora of movies netflix has to offer. being the child he is, he chose Trolls.

david took a leap from where he was standing to the bed where he landed on his stomach, which also happened to result in the buttery popcorn to almost be split. but it wasn't thanks to alexis's super speedy reflexes. "david!"

"stop being dramatic and cuddle with me," david said and took the popcorn from her hands and placed it on the night stand.

"hey, i was gonna eat that," alexis pouted. she got up to turn off the light.

"where are you going now?" david questioned with a childish whine. "come back."

"nope. you took my popcorn." she said smugly, obviously making her way back to his bed in the now darkened room. the dim light from the tv highlighted david's tired features. alexis made my way towards him, as he out stretched his arms when she was arms length away.

"i missed this," david mumbled in a low voice when alexis laid her head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. she nodded in agreement.

after about 15 minutes of comfortable silence, with the background music of trolls, david groans. "what's wrong?" alexis asked.

"i have to pee, but i'm too comfortable to get up," david says, pulling alexis closer to him.

"dude, just go pee," alexis said purposely sitting up.

"fine, i'll go pee. but when i get back we're gonna cuddle ten times as much." david warned her as if it were a threat.

alexis paused the movie and grabbed her phone to occupy herself until david comes back. she checked snapchat to see a couple of snaps from her friends in chicago. ever since she moved out to la for college, most of her hometown friendships loosened, but the ones that mattered surprisingly grew stronger.

she started to reply to most of them when david came back. "who ya textin?" david asked in a sing song voice.

"oh nobody," alexis said putting my phone on the nightstand.

"it had to be somebody," david inquired, pulling her closer to him. he rested his head at the base of her neck and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.

"you're a lot more cuddly than usual," alexis said playing with the short hairs at the back of his neck.

"i know," david mumbles in a low voice as he pushed alexis's hoodie slightly up her body so his skin made contact with hers.

david was sound asleep within 20 minutes. but alexis couldn't help staying awake. her mind was on overdrive. all of the innocent touches had an astonishing affect on her. she knew david means nothing by it, but she thinks everything of it.
