Joe twirled her hair smiling as they both looked at each other. Natalie laid back in the seat and looked above her at Joe's dorky smile. She smiled in return and Joe just kept twirling her hair. He unraveled a little curl he was playing with and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Natalie smiled and even slightly blushed. Joe sat back against the seat again to look at the window as he smiled. Natalie looked at Jason who had gripped her thigh harder than he did before. Natalie didn't know what was up with him but something was upsetting him. She was hoping he wasn't getting jealous over you and Joe; you guys were just being friends. Except for earlier cough cough. Eh hem. You guys get to Taco Bell and start to pull into the parking lot. "In or out baby?" Jason asked Natalie referring to going through the drive thru or eating inside. "Uh I literally have a dollar flat so I guess just the drive through so they don't charge us for eating in" She laughed at how broke she just sounded. Jason laughed as well and said "if you really want to go inside I'll pay the tax it's literally no big deal" He laughed. "I'm probably gonna get a Frito Burrito anyway" He finished. "Yeah imma grab me a chipotle chicken burrito" Joe added. Natalie agreed to go in and they stepped in line. Natalie has noticed a couple of little girl staring at them. They mostly had their eyes on Jason and Joe while the boy with them, who seemed older, had his eyes on Natalie's body. Natalie began to grow uncomfortable and leaned on Jason going under his arm. He rubbed her arm with his wrapped around her shoulder then slid down to her waist and cupped her butt before ordering. "Hi how are you?" The cashier asked him. "Oh good thanks how about yourself" Jason replies pulling out his wallet. The cashier stared at him astonished. She looked at Natalie and then at Joe. She raised an eyebrow and gestured that 'you two a thing?' Look. Joe shook his head mouthing "no" to her then pointed to Jason then Natalie. The cashier rolled her eyes. Jason began ordering then paid. As the cashier put the money in the register she looked at Joe. "Want my number?" She mouthed him. Jason noticed and turned around smiling at him. Joe smiled and blushed out of embarrassment. He shook his head no as he put his arm around Natalie's waist. Jason looked pissed and jerked his head signaling to get away from the counter and go to a table. "Dude what the actual-" Jason began going off. "Nah dude I only tried to seem like I wasn't available I know I should've asked but then it'd be sketchy" Joe interrupted him. Jason looked confused. "Why would you lads up someone's number? I mean dude come on you can't expect Natalie to be there your whole life. And I mean plus dude I'm sorry I know you like her but I can't give her up man." Jason said with sympathy for Joe. Natalie looked at him and held his hand. She mouthed "I love you" And Joe smiled. The little girls came over with the guy they were with and asked Jason if he was single. Jason stopped and looked at Natalie grinning. He pulled her into his chest as he said "no I am not" still smiling. The girls then looked at Joe. "You're 12 calm down" Joe said causing Natalie to laugh extremely loud. The girls walked away but they guy stayed. "Hey sorry about them"He said sticking his hand out towards Natalie. Joe shook it for her as he looked at Natalie with that 'I gotchu' face. Natalie smiled and then looked at the guy. "My names Liam I'm just supposed to watch them while my mom and their moms go to a casino. I'm 16 how about you guys?" He said trying to start a conversation still looking at Natalie. He had dirty blonde, short hair with blue eyes and little line dimples when he smiled. His tether were off white almost and perfectly straight. His lips were smooth-looking and a pale,yet pigmented, pink. Jason and Joe stood a bit taller than him but they were all considered y'all to Natalie so she didn't care. "Me and my twin here-" Jason said reaching his arm out to Joe setting his hand on his shoulder. "-are 17" He said. He brought his hand off Joe's shoulder to rest it on Natalie's as he said "and my girlfriend here" He set his hand on her shoulder. "Will be 17 in November" He finished looking up at this Liam boy. Liam stood awkwardly then shook their hands one last time before excisions himself to his table to eat. Joe had already grabbed their tray from the counter without anyone realizing. Natalie ended up sitting next to Jason with Joe in front of them. Natalie sat to where she could see Liam sitting at his table. She tried not to look at him too much but it was hard when he he's just staring at you. Natalie would glance around him once in awhile uncomfortably. Joe caught on and as he chewed his burrito he asked her, "He bothering you?" Natalie shook her head. "No just a little weird." She assured him. Joe nodded hesitant to believe her but not wanting to start a scene then have her be mad at him later for doing so. They finished eating and Natalie thanked Jason for bringing her and Joe for coming. They both smiled and said no problem/you're welcome. They began throwing their tray away and heading to the car. "Where to next?" Joe asked. Natalie looked at Jason. "Zumies?" She asked him. Jason shrugged agreeing. "Yeah sounds cool" He said starting the car. Though, as they pulled out a little silver car followed them.
