How Bad Can He Get

"Babe can you pass me the -"

"Salt" we both said at the same time

"I know these fries are totally missing salt lets never get fries here again."

You know that period in your life where everything is going right and there's no worry like you feel that you're on top of the world. Well surprisingly that's what I'm feeling. I have great friends and most importantly the greatest boyfriend in history: Liam. It's been 5 months since we've been dating and everything's perfect.

We were in the mall and had just stopped by a stand where they made fries with anything on it. I swear I even saw a guy put jellybeans on them. We stood there beside the "Make-a-fry" cart. I couldn't help but notice the cart beside us that had different phone cases. I needed to check them out or I would feel a sense of emptiness when I got home. I guess I was just weird like that.

"Liam let's go check out the phone cases." I quickly grabbed his hand before he could actually put a normal amount of salt.

"Ah man babe you didn't even give me the chance to throw the salt that I spilled behind me. Now the devil may be behind us right now!" I rolled my eyes and continued looking at the cases.

One of the cart clerks came onto the side of the cart on which I was.

"Well hello there hot stuff." I sensed that he was talking to me but decided to ignore that. There was probably another girl beside me or something I mean a normal guy would know not to hit on a girl holding another guy's hand.

"Ah so you're playing hard to get. I see how it is and I like it. I like it a lot."

The guy's voice was deep and attracting but no voice could cover up the lameness of that sentence. I decided to give him a snappy comeback because that's what I live for. Note my sarcasm.

"No I'm just playing already taken."

I said while lifting my hand that held on to Liam. Oh so I thought it did but I realized instead of Liam's hand I was holding a case. Where did he go? I thought to myself.

Well he's clearly not with you. The obnoxious second voice in my head said.

I seriously needed to get my brain checked I mean arguments with my brain; just not normal is it?

"Well I'm pretty sure I can do better than that phone case but I can accept a challenge." he said jokingly.

For the first time I actually looked up to see his face and man was it handsome, not as handsome as Liam's but you know he could pass as a 7 or and 8. He had piercing green eyes but my Liam had blue eyes which were way better or maybe not but whatever.

"No my boyfriend's just over in some shop...he's coming."

Sounds more like you're trying to convince yourself.

Shut up! I yelled at my brain.

"Well whenever that boyfriend of yours comes out tell him I'm borrowing you for a day later."

Now I saw where this was going he was trying to make me feel stupid because I was talking about my apparently imaginary boyfriend.

"Oh so you're asking me out on a date?" I said playing the interested game. I stepped a little closer.

"Well hell yeah that's what I was going for." He said moving even closer.

"Oh well in that case-" I took one of the cases and shoved in his mouth. Suddenly my boyfriend finally came walking by just when I looked so... well not innocent.

"Babe what did you do while I was gone?" I gave him a sheepish smile.

"Well this guy over here was flirting with me so I just taught him a teeny tiny lesson." He gave me a sarcastic look. "What I'm sure he's fine right...what's your name again?"

"Leefan." He said his words all mumbled. I pulled that case out of his mouth.

"Ethan." He repeated.

I threw the wet case in his face.

"See he's fine now let's go." I quickly grabbed Liam's arm and scurried off. I didn't want the owner of the cart to see me or rather scream at me and demand that I pay for the case.

"Hey wait what's your name?!" he yelled from the entire other side of the mall. Instead of me answering Liam did.

"Marissa!" he yelled. Oh great now the whole mall knows my name....

So I just had this burst of inspiration so I decided to write this just to try out.

I don't have a good cover yet but it's coming...(next update will probably Wednesday or Thursday...)
