Chapter 4: PDA
"Kris, does this look okay?" Rosalina asked, admiring herself in the full length mirror in Kristina's bedroom. Her hair was curly, with a cowboy hat on top. She had on a red and black flannel shirt with a tank top on underneath. Her short jean shorts and brown cowboy boots completed the outfit.
"Damn girl, Nat will definitely want to be more than friends after he sees you in that!" Kristina said with a wink.
"Shut up! Don't make comments like that in front of Nat; I don't want to scare him away. I don't know where I stand with him." Rosalina said, smacking Kristina's arm.
"I won't, don't worry." Kristina said as a horn honked from down below in the street. Kristina looked out the window and saw Nat and Reed get out of Reed's black pickup truck. "The boys are here, let's go."
The girls went downstairs and greeted the boys outside. Kristina greeted Reed with a kiss and Nat and Rosalina awkwardly smiled at each other. They all piled into Reed's truck, Kristina climbing in the front seat and Nat and Rosalina squishing together in the back. The entire car ride, Reed and Kristina were holding hands, sharing kisses at red lights, and overall just being that annoying couple you hate. Rosalina couldn't stand to watch it anymore and leaned her head against the window. When they got to the big outdoor venue, where they had played at with the band tons of times, Kristina and Reed walked ahead hand in hand. Nat and Rosalina started to follow and Nat swung his arm around Rosalina's shouders.
"Keep your head up sweetheart." Nat said with a goofy grin. "You'll find Mr. Perfect soon enough."
"Thanks Natty." Rosalina said, smiling up at her ex-boyfriend. "You're the best."
"Thanks Rosie, I know." Nat smirked, running ahead of her. Rosalina laughed and chased after him, jumping on his back. Nat carried her all the way to their seats, where they met back up with Reed and Kristina. Kristina pulled Rosalina aside, away from the boys.
"Soooo, you think he feels the same way?" Kristina whispered to her. "You guys seem pretty flirty today."
"I don't know, I hope so." Rosalina whispered back, looking at Nat jam out to the opening act's last song. "I just want to have a good night and if that means do something kind of risky with our relationship, I think it just might happen."
"Be careful hun, I just don't want to see you get hurt." Kristina said. "But I also understand that you have kissed a boy since prom last year soooo…."
"Kris, shut up, like I want the reminder of the fact that I've been living the single life forever." Rosalina said. "I just miss the whole kissing thing, and the pda love stuff like holding hands, cuddling, and all that stuff."
"Awh well I'll hold your hand and cuddle with you best friend!" Kristina smiled, pulling Rosalina into a huge hug.
"Get off of me you loser." Rosalina laughed. "Go make out with your boyfriend you luck duck."
"You're still my number one love." Kristina winked as she walked back to Reed's side. Rosalina smiled and walked towards Nat. She slid her arm around his waist and hugged him tight, hoping it wouldn't be the only time for the night.
