Wish//Corbyn Besson 《ON HOLD》

Chapter 38

*Lydia's point of view*

Corbyn parks the car and we all walk up to the entrance of the mall to wait for the rest of his friends. We sat at benches in front of the doors. Christina made sure to separate me from Corbyn. I appreciated her terrifying jealous- protective side.

"Are you hot?", Corbyn asks. He pulled his hand away from Christina and sat next to me. I ignore his question, not in the mood to talk to him. California is definitely hot. I could feel the blazing sun turning my skin into ashes. "Because I think I can block the sun from you. You're pretty short, you know?"

I glare at him. "I am not short!" Corbyn raises his eyebrows at me with a smirk. "I just happen to be the average female height and you see, you happen to be freakishly tall", I inform.

He stands in front of me to block the sun from me. "Corbyn, the sun isn't going to stab me in the face", I sigh.

"Better safe than sorry. You never who a criminal can be disguised as these days."

I see three familiar boys walk up to us. I mentally thank them for saving me from a longer conversation with Corbyn and Christina's harsh looks.

"Let's get this over with", I groan. Although I may have agreed to let Corbyn buy me a new phone in exchange for him picking Zach, Callie, and I up there is no way in any universe I'd let him pay. Especially not an expensive phone. I know Corbyn will put up a fight, but I will bop him in the face if it means I won.

Corbyn walks on my left side and Callie on my right. I attempt to speed up, but Corbyn has an advantage with his longer legs. If a stranger saw us it'd look like we were racing. Corbyn would take a long stride and I'd walk as fast as possible. As both of us increase our speed a giggle escapes my mouth. Corbyn nudges my arm and starts to run.

"Last one to the Apple Store licks the floor for breakfast!", Corbyn yells.

My eyes narrow at him. He may have longer legs than me, but I happen to be a fast runner. I run after him screaming his name. When I see him getting too close to the store for my liking I groan. A very very bad idea bubbles in my head. I run as fast my legs can manage then tackle him. A shriek leaves Corbyn's mouth before we're both on the floor laughing.

I laugh the hardest I have ever laughed. My eyes meet Corbyn's blue orbs and I look away shyly. I can feel my face heating up. Corbyn pokes my side to get me to look at him. He has a big goofy smile played on his face too.

The group finally approaches us. "We saw that tackle, Lydia. You should think about joining the NFL", Jonah jokes. I chuckle and flash him a smile. Callie picks me off the ground, up on my feet.

I look at Corbyn getting off the ground and smirk. "I'm going to beat you", I say. Corbyn's eyes go wide. I run into the Apple Store and watch Corbyn trudge towards me.

"Happy you won?", Corbyn asks. "Oh I was happy before because I knew I'd win." I shrug. Corbyn laughs and pats my head getting a glare in return.

I find the iPhone X and get it from a worker. I do everything I have to before I can pay for it. I take out my credit card. In the corner of my eye I see Corbyn with his in his hand. I quickly turn to him, give him a sweet smile, and smack it out of his hand.

"No!", Corbyn yells, taking mine out of my hand. "Theif!", I accuse. "Liar!", He argues.

I try and snatch it out of his hand. "No!" He swats my hand away. He goes down to pick his up at the same time as me. We bump our heads reaching down. Luckily he was distracted by the pain meaning I grabbed his card first.

"Listen buddy", I continue, "There is no way you're paying so hand my card over."

"No, you listen-" "Don't tell me what to do!"

"Sir, Ma'ma, we have customers in line", The man points out. "Deal with it!", Corbyn and I reply in unison.

I turn to Callie for help. She's too busy waving her finger in Daniel's face to notice what's going on. "Callie." " Wait, I'm arguing with this giraffe! I've never seen one this close up", Callie says, glaring at Daniel.

Zach sighs and swipes his card. "Zachary!", Corbyn and I complain at the same time. "Cancel it!" , Corbyn and I demand, starting at the man. "Stop doing that!", Corbyn and I, once again say at the same time.

"Have a nice day", The man says, handing me the bag with my phone. "Zachary, you give me your PayPal right now or I will skin you alive", I threaten. "Don't do it, I'll throw your gel in the pool if you do." He tells us, Corbyn and I react fast. I grab Callie's phone and quickly log into my account, I send Zach the money. "Done!", Corbyn and I exclaim.

"Thank you, ma'ma's."

Corbyn and share looks. "Did we just?"

"I think so."
