walking next to your best friend, Rose, with Xavier, (c/n), Brianna, and Kyle, across a parking lot, you six were trying to kill time.

"yo there's a cart here." you hear (c/n) say. he went over to the blue plastic cart that was left by a lazy customer who didn't have the effort to put it back to the store where it belonged. there were two other carts so Xavier and Kyle each got one.

"Bri get in." Kyle said as he approached Brianna.

Bri got in the cart, pushing her body so her leg had enough room to crawl in. soon enough, she was sitting in the basket.

"(y/n) get in the cart." you heard (c/n) chuckle behind you, obviously mirroring Kyle's suggestion. turning around, you looked at (c/n) with a little uneasiness.

"noooo i'm good." you shook your head. then, Kyle started walking the cart with Bri in it. there was no intention of going anywhere, maybe just around the parking lot. it was already 8pm and not a lot of cars were there anyways.

"c'mon it'll be fun!!" (c/n) encouraged. you shook your head again, kinda worried about your own safety, but also kind of worried about your secret for this guy to be greatly hinted at.

"nope nope nope." you started walking, following Kyle and Bri. they were both laughing as Kyle was occasionally running with the cart.

"don't you trust me?" (c/n) then asked as he was pushing the cart behind you. you shrugged as you kept walking.

"it's debatable." you teased.

"Rose get in my cart." Xavier then said. without question, Rose jumped in the cart. "i'm afraid you weren't gonna ask because i was getting tired of walking and i need a ride." Rose laughed. you smiled as you heard their conversation.

all of a sudden while you're walking and while Kyle and Xavier were pushing their passengers around the parking lot, it was weirdly silent.

(c/n) hasn't said anything and the sound of the cart's wheels on the pavement came to a halt. before you could turn around to investigate, you feel strong arms wrap itself around your waist.

"(c/n)!!" you squealed as you felt your feet loose touch of the ground. (c/n) was laughing behind you as he easily placed you in the cart.

not having a second to rebuttal, (c/n) started pushing the cart at an easy pace, following Xavier and Kyle.

Rose saw you finally in the cart and started laughing while recording you on her phone, the video probably going on snapchat later.

"i'm gonna die." you joked, not expecting what (c/n) was gonna do with you in the cart.

"i'm not gonna let that happen." (c/n) said behind you. ironically, he started running with the cart.

"AAAHHH!!" you screamed, feeling the bumpy pavement vibrate the cart as it moved. (c/n) was laughing as he ran around poles and cars.

soon, Xavier and Kyle started running with Rose and Bri in their carts as well.

to be honest, it was kind of fun. but at the same time, you're not the one in control and you have no safety precautions what-so-ever.

after a while, the guys started to get tired from running. they all gathered together panting while the girls were laughing and giggling, taking pictures and videos to put on social media.

"okay we should probably get going, it's getting dark out." Kyle breathed in between pants. everyone nodded as Rose and Bri started to jump out of their carts.

as for you, you didn't want to jump out, let alone if you could even get out. it was a high-level suspended cart basket and you were unsure of how to step out without tipping the cart over.

"need some help?" (c/n) came to your side as you stood in the basket.

"maybe a little." you chuckled, watching (c/n) move to the front of the cart.

"okay put your arms over my shoulders. i'll pull you out." (c/n) instructed.

you did as told, but once your arms were around those broad shoulders of his, you might've gone limp a little. maybe (c/n) didn't notice because he was so busy wrapping his hands around the side of your waist to pull you out. and maybe you started to feel your face heat up.

once he got you out the basket, (c/n) placed you gently on the ground. for some reason, you two stayed put, your arms around him and his hands holding you.

you looked up into his eyes, kind of caught in the moment of what's happening. you saw those gorgeous eyes and almost choked.

(c/n) was looking back at you as well, a soft look on his face as his eyes darted from feature to feature on your face.

you started to feel your heart speed up, your face getting warmer by the second, the tension getting more tense as the seconds passed by–

"you guy's coming?" Xavier called out 10 feet away. you and (c/n) both broke out of the trance and saw that everyone else was already heading somewhere else.

you immediately retrieved your arms as (c/n) slowly took his hands off of you. without words, you two started walking to catch up with the rest of the group.

soon, embarrassment started to burn in your chest. you started to silently think, but your thoughts were loud in your mind.

'maybe no one saw. yeah.. no one thought.. it was just one second!! one!! no one has their suspicion.. shit..'
