" Bye guys! See you later!" Rylan called as he walked away from is baseball team. Bella was a few strides in front of us. "Hey" Rylan said quietly. "Hi" I said back with a grin on my face. We then got in-line for Starbucks. I got my classic Venti Pink Drink, Bella got a Grande Vanilla Bean Frappichino and Rylan got a Venti Pink Drink too. Because its Starbucks, we stood waiting for our drinks for about twenty minutes and we were the only people in line. Next, we decided to go to Urban Outfitters, our original destination before we ran into Rylan and his crew. "What is this store?" Rylan stated as we walked into the store. "Welcome to Urban Outfitters, every LA girls dream." Rylan let out a small sigh as Bella and I dragged him through the store. Next, we let him pick. Of course, he decided to go to the Nike outlet, Bella's least favorite store. Luckily for her (and us so we didn't have to listen to her complain the entire time) was the Adidas store. "While you two shop at the dump, I'm going to Adidas." Bella stated. Rylan and I chuckled, rolled our eyes and walked into Nike. "Now that Ms. Adidas is gone..." he started to say as his sentence trailed off. I then felt his hand start to slide down my arm and grabbed my hand. I let him as I almost passed out. I turned my head and bit my bottom lip as I locked eyes with him. We just stood there for a second and just let it all happen. Honestly, that wasn't our BEST decision. "OH. MY. GOD." Bella practically yelled as she ran in the store. "Say it louder, Bella, I don't think the whole mall heard you." snapped Rylan as I threw my hand over her mouth so she couldn't say anything more. "You two are in love. I knew it! I knew it. " she added after she pushed my hand away. "oh no, don't worry about me. Keep going on with you lovely-dove, kissy-wishy life." she proceeded to add with a heavily sarcastic tone. Rylan and I both turned bright red. "Alright, where to next?" I added to break the silence. "I have to pee." Bella said. "Off to the bathrooms!" Rylan added in his sportscaster voice, which is really cute by the way. Bella and I went in as Rylan stood outside holding our bags. "Alright let's do this" I added as we walked away from the bathrooms into TJ Maxx. "Ew, this looks gross." Bella added. "It looks terrible but they have some cute things for good prices. " I added. "Do they have a sports section" Rylan added with an inaudible sigh. "Yep." "Okay, thank god. I don't think I could handle another Brandy what's-her-face." "Brandy Melville is a god, okay?" Bella said as she cut him off. I laughed and I went with Bella and Rylan wandered around like a lost puppy. "I'm going to go try these on. Be right back." Bella said as she turned and headed for the fitting rooms.  I was going through one of the racks when I felt someone hug me from behind. I turned around and chuckled at the cute smirk on Rylan's face. "I love you." he whispered in my ear. "I love you too." I said back as I leaned onto him. A few minutes later Bella came back with the shirt and threw it into the basket. "Great. It fits so lets go checkout." I grabbed the cart and pushed it to the end of the line where we waited for about twenty minutes. We both spent about fifty dollars but got a lot of clothes. We were walking around talking when Bella's phone started blowing up. "Hang on, its my mom." She walked away and that just left Rylan and I. I felt his hands go down my back. I put my hands behind his neck and he stood up on his tippy-toes to make sure Bella wasn't looking. Then, we kissed. It was amazing. Afterwards, I buried my face into his shoulder and hugged him and he hugged me even tighter. To our surprise, Bella didn't say a thing about the kiss. "Hey Liv, my mom called to make sure everything was okay. We totally ditched her." I looked at the clock. Yep, three hours ago we were supposed to be at Panera. "Well, I better take off." Rylan said. "Bye!" I said as a gave him a hug. Bella just laughed and rolled her eyes. "Let's get moving people. If we aren't there in the next five minutes, she might call the police." Bella said. "This should be a fun car ride home." I added with a nervous grin.
