The Competition: How You Met...

Chapter 2: Ice Cream Arguments

*Your POV*

Considering that my apartment is like 2 blocks away from the Twin Oaks Shopping Center, I decided to walk rather than waiting money on gas. It took about 15 minutes for me to get there.

As soon as I got to Ralph's, a black Subaru pulled up next to me. The window rolls down, revealing Grayson in the passenger seat. "Hey, you need a ride?" Ethan bends down, to go into my field of vision.

"Jesus. You scared me. I thought some creep was pulling up." I laughed.

"Wait, then let me do it right." Grayson rolled up the window, they drove around the parking lot, and slowly pulled up to me. The window was rolled down, "Hot damn, girl. You're hot. Wanna get into my car and we can take it back to my place?" At that point, I was laughing so hard I had to use my inhaler to calm my breathing. "Oh God, I didn't mean to try and kill you."

"It's okay. That was just hilarious." I giggled.

Ethan and Grayson got out of the car since I was wheezing, "E, you stay with Y/N, I'm gonna go get her some water." Ethan nodded, and sat me down in the back seat with the door opened.

"I'm sorry about this. This doesn't usually happen, I swear." I said between breaths.

"It's okay, things happen. We should be apologizing to you." Ethan reassured me. Grayson came running out of the store with the water, and handed it to me.

Grabbing the water, I opened the cap and chugged the water. It was gone in 30 seconds.

"I figured you were thirsty." Grayson smiled, looking proud of himself.

I chuckled. "I guess so." I looked at the boys, "Thank you for helping me. This is just embarrassing..."

"No, it's not. This is normal. When we were little, Grayson had asthma. He grew out of it, of course, but when Cam put perfume on, it would set him off. It didn't stop him and I from doing sports though." Ethan chuckled at the end.

"Well, thank you guys anyway." I smiled.

"Just wondering, are you packed for the week?" Grayson asked, pointing at my bag.

I shook my head. "All that is in here is my laptop, wallet, and my keys for my apartment."

"Now that just won't do. Come on, we're heading to your apartment." Grayson shook his head as Ethan walked over to the other side of the car, and sat in the driver's seat.

"Wait. What? Now? But we just got here." I scrambled to find the words to say. The truth is, my apartment is a mess and I didn't want the boys to see it. "How about ice cream before we go? I'll pay!"

"That doesn't sound bad. Great idea!" Grayson got into the passenger side, and I closed the door to the car.

*30 minutes later*

"Dairy Queen has the best ice cream!" I shouted.

"No, Baskin Robbin's does." Grayson argued. Yes, we're arguing over which ice cream places has the best ice cream.

"What does Baskin-Robbins have over DQ other than their cones?"

"More variety."

"Okay, then. Dairy Queen has their blizzards and that is the end of the story." I crossed my arms.

"Both of you stop arguing. We're here." Ethan sighed, parking the car.

"Where?" Grayson and I asked in unison, then glared at each other.

"Cold Stone creamery."

"Now, that, I can get behind." I smiled, grabbing my bag, and got out of the car. Grayson agreed, and we all headed into Cold Stone. "I already know what I want."

"So do I. Gray?" When we looked to where Grayson was, he was already ordering. "Nevermind... Y/N, ladies first."

"Thanks Ethan." It going down the line, Grayson got the 'Cookies Doughn't You Want Some', I got the 'Strawberry Blonde' without whipped cream, and Ethan got the 'Surrender to Strawberry'. When I came to pay, Ethan paid, not allowing me to even take out my wallet.

"You ass." I glared I Ethan, and he just gave me a smug look.

Woah! Two updates on time! I'm going to start posting on Tuesdays when I can. Because Tuesdays are Dolan Twins Tuesday, so why not? Lol.

Let me know what I should do next! Thanks all!
