Carpet
"No, it doesn't match the couch we bought." I told Bex.
"True," she replied.
"I still can't get over the fact that we're living together."
"I know Grant actually had a good idea."
I spotted a nice blueish green one in the corner. "How about that one?"
Bex looked to where I was pointing. "Yeah, that'll work."
I glanced around as we walked over. "Where did the boys go?"
"I don't know."
A few minutes later Bex ad I were lugging the carpet to truck. We had searched for our boyfriends, but finally gave up. I they didn't catch up to us before we left, they were going to be left here.
Bex slammed the trunk shut. 'There, now let's go- oh no."
"What?"
"Grant has the keys."
I groaned. "Oh come on."
"Do you have your computer?"
"Of course."
I pulled out my laptop and started hacking into the mall's security system. We found the two in a Bed Bath and Beyond.
"What are they doing?" Bex asked.
"They are asleep on one of the beds."
Zach and Grant laid sprawled out on one of the mattresses, their eyes closed. "Look,' I said.
In the corner of the frame a very angry looking manager was walking towards the two boys. He violently shook them awake and started screaming at them. Zach and Grant quickly nodded and almost sprinted out of the store.
My phone started ringing and Zach's name came up on caller ID.
"Bex looked at me. "We're taking a taxi, right?"
"Of course."
Two hours later
Bex and I were lying on the carpet that we had shoved into the taxi. Both Grant and Zach had called multiple times, but we never answered. Our boyfriends were probably having fun with the car that we left them. Thanks to the handy pocketknife I always carried, the tires were rendered useless.
I glanced at the clock. It was passed ten and I was tired. The carpet was very comfortable, and I didn't feel like moving. "Night Bex"
"Night Cammie."
We were awakened a few hours later by two very angry looking boys. "Go away," I muttered, still half asleep.
"I am not going away," Zach said, picking me up and dropping me on the couch.
I sat up, groggily. "What?"
"What?" Grant spluttered. "You left us at the mall with four flat tires and no trace of where you went. For all we knew you guys had been kidnapped or something."
"We would have it the panic buttons you make us carry around if we had been kidnapped," Bex old them.
Zach sat down next to me. "Well it's not our fault it was taking you guys forever to find a carpet."
"It took a half hour!" I exclaimed.
"We were worried," Zach admitted.
I wrapped him in a hug. "You are also stupid."
He pushed me off, a smile on his face. "I can't believe you."
I kissed his cheek. 'Good night Zach."
I rolled of the couch and back onto the carpet. He laid down next to me, and I snuggled up next to him. "I love you."
"I love you too."
