I hear a knock on the door and I get up instantly. I open the door to see Brian standing there with a smile on his face. He started into my eyes and pulled me into a kiss.

"You look beautiful." He said as we pulled away from the kiss.

"And you look pretty handsome." I said with a playful smile on my face. Brian is wearing a black dress shirt with jeans and a pair of black Nikes. I take Brian's hand and lead him into the living room where Zoey and Drake are. Brian already knows Zoey, so I want to introduce him to Drake.

"Brian, this is-" Brian let go of my hand and went to give Zoey a friendly hug.

"Oh my God, it's been such a long time since I seen you!" Zoey shouts. As she and Brian are hugging, she gives him a kiss on the cheek. I don't really mind because Zoey has a boyfriend and it's more of a family kiss. Brian then walks backs over to me and wraps his arms around my waist.

"So, what's the game plan?" He then asks.

"Well, I was think about Gigino Trattoria. Everyone else agreed; are you cool with it?"

"Sounds good to me." I nodded with Brian's response and grabbed my purse.

"Let's go!" Zoey said with excitement. Drake takes Zoey hand and leads her to the car. I start to follow, but before I could continue to move forward, Brian grabs my hand. I turn around and smile at him.

"I'll walk you to the car darling." I blush, kiss him on the cheek, and start moving again.

We finally arrive at the restaurant and it's not that full, surprisingly. The waiter leads us to our seats and a man comes over with little glasses of water.

"Do you guys want anything to drink?"

"I'll take a coke." I said

"Same here." Brian said.

"The lady and I will take iced teas." Drake said.

"Ok, I'll be right back with you drinks." I smiled at the waiter and he walked away.

"So, you and Sam are dating?" Zoey asks, she seems to be really interested in the fact that we are dating.

"Yes." Brian said with a smile. "Yes we are. And I love every minute of it." He thens turns to face me and kisses me on the cheek. I end up blushing really bad, and it's even worse because we are in a restaurant. Luckily, the waiter comes back and places our drinks on the table. So I don't have to say anything awkward.

"Are you guys ready to order or would you like a few minutes?" We all looked at each other. By the expression on out faces, we are not ready to order.

"No, we would like a few more minutes." Zoey says with a smile.

"Sure thing, I'll be back soon." For about five minutes, there is just silence besides the ruffling noise of the menu being flipped. I didn't really want much, so I just deiced to get spaghetti. Despite the fact that the place is not that full, I feel like someone is watching me. Preying on my every move just waiting for the perfect moment to attack. For some reason, I am thinking of Ricky.

I didn't pay much attention while the others order their meals. I just ordered mine and went back to my mind. I didn't want to really think of it, but it kept appearing in my thoughts. My breath hitched when Brian placed his hand on my lap.

"Babe, are you alright?"

I shrug. "Yea, I'm just thinking."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Bri, I'm alright." I am alright, although it is a little bit of a lie. I don't want the corrupt thoughts of my mind ruining this diner.

Finally, the waiter arrives with out food and I can't wait to dig in. From what I heard, this place is pretty good.

"Thank you." I said to the waiter as he placed the spaghetti in front of me. He smiled and continued to place everyone's meals in front of them.

"Enjoy your meal guys." The waiter said then walked away. As we ate, it was silent for about 3 minutes. Drake then gets up and excuses himself because he needs to go to the bathroom.

"Hey Sam?"

"Mhmm?" I responded with spaghetti in my mouth.

"I know you hated that one kid Ricky. Has he been acting like a bitch lately." I dropped my fork in my hand, but I excuse myself after.

"Uh, he's uh-" Thankfully, Drake came out of the bathroom and gives Zoey a kiss, this makes her distracted. Thank God.

I mumble something under my breath and then continue to eat. I didn't want to talk about him.

Eventually, the awkwardness turns into pure happiness as we all start to talk. I'm glad that Brian is getting along well with Drake. I think they'll be good friends. That's only if Zoey keeps him around, but I bet she will. They've been dating for quite some time.

Suddenly, I see a figure walk by and it looked extremely familiar. The man sits down and I examine his face closely, as the waiter walks away. I catch a full glimpse of his face; it's Ricky. I can see him smirk when he notices me. Dear God, I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm gonna have a mental breakdown. I don't want to go to the bathroom because the would require me walking past Ricky's table.

I can feel my face tighten and get full of heat. I look back at Ricky and notice that he has an even bigger smirk on his face.

"Uh, guy, are you almost done."

"Yea, why?" Drake asks, eating the final pieces of chicken off his plate.

"Do you mind staying here and paying. I-I need to get out of here." Before I could here Drake's answer, I just storm off. "WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME!" I scream in my head. And before I know it, tears are streaming down my face.
