Chapter 15 – Only Friends

"Hey man what did you do last night? I tried to call you"
"Seth Hi! I was at the Bait Shop"
"You were at the Bait Shop alone? Wow, that is pretty lame"
"No I wasn't alone. I was with Anna"
"Oh Anna. Aha I see" He blinked seductive with his eyes.

"Oh no, don't give me that look. We are just friends. Nothing more"
"Friends? Yeah right, you have been hanging out more then me and Summer"
"Is that even possible to do?"
A quiet moment. "Ok maybe that is true. But you have been hanging out a lot"
"Well you and Summer haven't really been around. And Anna is the obvious choice after you guys"
"Ok whatever makes you sleep at night. I know you and Marissa once tried to be only friends and look how that…" He just realized what he talked about. "Oh god Ryan I'm sorry"
"No it's okay"
"No it's not. I'm just sitting here rambling not thinking of what I'm saying and then I say something stupid and don't know it myself and then…"
"Okay you are rambling again Seth, really its okay. I'm over her now, really"

He nodded. "So have you eaten? Maybe we could go and eat something"
"Actually I already have plans with Anna"
He started to laugh as he walked out of Ryan's kitchen. "Okay, you two just friends? Right"

He opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted by a knock on the door. Anna walked in.

"Hi Anna"
"Hi" She hugged him. "Are you ready for lunch?"
"Yes I am shall we get going?"
"I believe we should"
They walked against the door and when Ryan closed it he saw Seth holding the thumbs up. He is really going to get his ass kicked some day he thought.

"Hello this is Summer speaking"
"And this is a handsome young man in his best days"
"Really? I thought you sounded like my boyfriend"
"Very funny. So what are you doing?"
"I'm working, unlike some others. Anyway aren't you on lunch with Ryan?"
"No he already had plans"
"With Anna I guess"
"And how could you have guessed that?" The sarcasm in his voice was pretty clear.

"Yeah no idea there. Okay so you felt lonely and called me?"
"Pretty much. So are you up for lunch later?"
"Yeah sure. I'll call when I'm ready with this photo shoot"
"Oh you are being photographed right now?"
"Yeah I'm standing with a phone on the picture" He had taught her sarcasm well.

"Okay. Are you wearing minimum clothes? I'm picturing it in front of me"
"I'm wearing an Eskimo suit and holding a sharp spear"
"Okay you always know how to ruin a moment"
"I guess I do. Okay I'm all naked, does it feel better now?"
"Um I'm not really sure, feels bad to miss it"
"Okay pervert warning right there. Oh I have to go now but I'll call you later"
"Okay bye. Love you"
"Love you too"

They sat at the table drinking the expensive wine Ryan brought in. The food was delicious and their stomachs were full. Just dessert left.

"So what do you want for dessert"
"I don't know Ryan, I seriously think my stomach is about to burst"
"You can't skip dessert, I think there is a rule that says that"

"Okay I will have a banana split then. Just because of the rule"
"Really I never thought you would agree to do that. I really can't eat anymore"
"Good 'cause I was planning on sneaking away when you called the waiter. Guess I don't have to then"
They paid for the dinner and then walked out. About fifteen minutes later they were at Ryan's house. Anna stopped the car.

"So do you want to come in?"
"Yeah sure I'm not tired yet"
They walked in the door and saw Seth standing in the kitchen.

"Hello friends! I just put Trisha to bed so try not to be too loud when you do your friendly stuff" He made some blinks with his eyes that couldn't go unnoticed. Ryan pulled him near when he walked by.
"You are seriously going to pay for this"
"I have no doubt brother. No doubt at all, but don't let me hold you from being with you friend"
Ryan punched him playful at the head.

"Bye friends I will see you later"

Then he walked out and left the two of them alone.

"Was he being more weird than usual?"
"I really can't tell which time he is weirder. Let's just go with him being weird all the time. That's the easiest way"
She nodded and leaned against the kitchen bench.

"So the fact that he used the word friend at least one time in every sentence didn't mean anything to you?" She walked slowly against him.
"No not really. Why do you think that?" He moved against her and they soon stood right next to each other.

"I don't know, I just don't want him to think we are something else then friends" She leaned in against him so there was only a few centimetres between them.

"No because if he thought that then it would be weird" He leaned even closer.

"Yeah really weird" Then she kissed him. He kissed her back and started to slide his hands down her back. They stood like that for a while and then they both slowly pulled away.

"Or maybe he wasn't so crazy to think that"
