"I think he likes you" Christina says, taking a bite of her hamburger.

"No way. Four? He's probably made a bet with his friends to see if he can get in my pants." I say playing with my water bottle.

"Are you sure because the way you described last night, it made it seem like he was madly in love with you" Christina said looking at her phone.

"He probably just acted that way because our parents were there. He's gone back to the jerk that he always is" I say matter of factly.

"Then why does he keep staring at you?" Marlene asked.

"I don't know" I say raising my hands.

We were sitting outside at our usual lunch table, I told them the story about what happened last week during dinner and that is what we were discussing.

"Maybe we should talk to his friends see what they know?" Marlene asked.

"Yeah we should, I could talk to Zeke" Shauna volunteered.

"And I could talk to Uriah" Marlene said.

"Uhm are you sure thi-" I started.

"Trust us, we got this" Shauna said.

"Okay" I said worriedly.

I suddenly remembered that all the stuff Four had done for me yesterday, I never once thanked him. Maybe that was why he was staring at me. Even though he only probably did it because our families were here he still helped me.

"I'm going to go and talk to Four. I never got to thank him properly for helping me yesterday" I said standing up.

They all nodded and watched as I walked up to him. All I needed to do was say thank you and then leave. That simple, but a part of me was a bit scared. He saw me coming and smirked. I rolled my eyes and continued to walk up to him.

"Hey" I said a bit awkwardly.

"Hey" he said blankly.

"So about last night....." he stood up as I talked so he was in front of me "Uhm I never actually thanked you for all you did and so yeah. Thank you" I said.

I turned on my heel only to be turned back around so I was facing him again.

"Surely you can think of some other way to thank me" he said.

"And what did you have in mind?" I question.

He looks around as he thinks of something for me to do. After a good 30 seconds he's still looking around thinking. I sigh getting irritated at how long it's taking him. I turn at look back at my friends to notice they're still looking at me.

I roll my eyes letting them know he has indeed gone back to normal asshole self. I turn my head back around only to be met with warm, soft lips being pressed dangerously close to my lips.

For a moment I'm lost at how nice it feels and how it sends tingles through my body from the warmth. But as fast as those emotions run through me I'm pulled out of my trance and I push him away.

"What the hell are you doing?" I exclaim placing a hand on his chest to put some distance between us.

"Well you asked what I had in mind, and that, is exactly what I had in mind" he says sitting back down.

"See you later babe"

To say I was shocked would be and underestimate of what was going through me right now. I sat down in my seat after walking back, still confused as to what just happened. I looked at Four to see him doing a whole man handshake thing with Zeke and them laughing.
