Chapter 4

"Hey," Joe came up to Macy with a smile. Stella had left them to give them privacy and to catch up with their other friends.

Macy smiled briefly. "Hi."

"You look amazing." Joe said.

"Thanks. I like your shirt."

Joe smiled and cut to the chase. "Listen, Mace, it-there's not-I-." he ended up stammering nervous.

Macy nodded. "I understand." She started to walk away.

"No, wait." Joe grabbed her wrist. She turned around. "Look, that hug you saw meant nothing to me. It was just casual and friendly." he told her.

Macy turned her head and looked him in the eyes. "Really?" she asked softly.

"Absolutely." he said. "I've been waiting to see you ever since the plane ride. Dani even hit me with a pillow numerous times just to shut my rambling."

Macy laughed. "I've been waiting to see you too." she told him.

Joe smiled and wrapped his arms around her in a hug.

Dani smiled from her hiding spot and decided to give them some alone time. She stood up and went over to Kevin and Nick.

"Stella!" Dani cried smiling.

Stella smiled and gave the eleven-year-old a hug. "Hey Dani!"

"We have so much to catch up on!" Dani said.

"Yeah!" Stella smiled. "I'm gonna take you shopping and teach you the full aspects of being a teenage girl in a high-class shopping district."

"Awesome!"

"Hey, where's Joe and Macy?" Nick asked.

Dani smiled. "Oh, they're catching up."

"Aw," Kevin smiled.

"Man, this house is awesome!" Stella looked around, observing the house.

"I know."

"Hey guys!"

They turned around and saw Joe and Macy walking over, holding hands.

"Hey!" they said.

Dani went over and gave Macy a hug. "You okay?" she asked when they pulled away.

Macy nodded. "Yeah."

"So, does anyone know anyone at this party?" Kevin spoke.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then I say we leave..." he voted.

Everyone nodded and Dani sped up. "Last one to the car pays for the food!"

"Hey get back here!" Nick called after her, running.

"Let's go!" Stella and Kevin ran after them.

Joe and Macy laughed at them.

"So, where does this lead us?" Joe asked, turning to Macy.

Macy smiled. "You tell me."

Joe looked her in the eyes. "Macy Misa, will you be my girlfriend?"

Macy nodded. "Yes."

Joe smiled and hugged her again.

"Hey! Lovebirds! You're paying for the food tonight!" Dani called.

They pulled apart and looked over. Dani was standing at the entrance hall with a smirk on her face.

Joe gave her a glare and ran after her. Macy laughed as Dani tried to escape, but was lifted and spun around in the air.

Macy came up to them as Joe positioned Dani on his back. "I love this summer." he said.

They went out and hopped into the car. Kevin drove, Joe was sitting in the passenger's seat, Nick, Macy and Stella were sitting together in the back and Dani was squished in the middle of Joe and Kevin.
