Chapter 12
Freddy's POV
I was out of breath by the time I got to Alicia's house. I rested my hands on my knees and breathed. Whew! I finally caught my breath and than rang her doorbell. As soon as I did I heard high heels clomping down the steps. I listened closely and was sure there were two pairs of feet. I smiled, hoping the other pair of feet was Marta. The door opened and I saw Alicia there smiling.
"Hey Freddy," she smiled. "Come in!" I stepped inside and as soon as I did I lost my breath again. Marta looked so great!!! I stood staring at her not moving. She looked down at the ground embarrassed but I saw a smile on her face.
"Umm Freddy?" Alicia giggled.
"Yeah?" I spun around to face her. This time both girls giggled.
"Just knocking you out of your little trans," Alicia smiled. I felt myself turning red.
"So where were we?" I asked just wanting to break the weird silence.
"I think you were just about to compliment Marta on how great she looks," said Alicia.
"Oh yes, I was." I said thinking this was kind of weird. I turned towards Marta.
"Marta, you look amazing. I've never seen anyone look prettier than you." I told her, realizing I was pretty good at compliments. Not that I didn't mean it! It was definitely true!
"Thanks!" she grinned. "You look really great too." She paused then said, "I've never seen anyone more handsome!"
"Thanks," I said and leaned over to give her a hug.
"Awww," awed Alicia, tilting her head to the side. I broke away from Marta as the doorbell rang.
"It's Zack!" squealed Alicia. "How do I look?"
"You look fine Alicia!" Marta said, shaking her head and grinning. Alicia opened the door, and Zack walked in.
"Hey Alicia!" he said. "You look great!"
"Thanks, you too." she grinned. Zack looked over at me and Marta.
"Hey Marta, looking good," he nodded at her. "What's up Jones?" he said as he high fived me.
"So, should we go now?" asked Alicia.
"Why not? Let's get a move on," said Zack, and all four of us walked out the door me holding hands with Marta, and Zack with Alicia.
