"Come onnnn" Your boy best friend, Alex says to you, grabbing your wrist. You laugh and go along with it, letting him pull you into an aisle.
.
"Alex! What are you doing?"
.
He lets go of your wrist and grabs a BIG bag of assorted candy.
.
"We're making this the best sleepover ever… don't even try to stop me!" he says after you try to take the bag from him.
.
"But you don't need to be spending so much money on all of this!" You look back at your shopping cart full of snacks and blankets and pillows.
.
"Abby, come on, it's not a big deal… I know you want this, I can see you eyeing the bag." he says with a smile, holding up the large bag of deliciousness.
.
"FINE… but thats it okay?" You say playfully.
.
You then walk back to your shopping cart and grab a hold of the handle and bolt towards the check-out lanes, Alex chasing after you.
.
You make it to lane #3, the only one without a super long line. You wait for Alex to catch up then steer the cart into the lane.
.
Not even 30 seconds later you hear some girls behind you giggling, "I'm going to go try to get his number."
.
"Shit." You hear him mumble under his breath, his body tensing up.
.
Right as the one girl starts walking towards you guys, Alex turns his helpless face towards you. He stares at you and after a moment, all the tension leaves his body and all thats left on his face is a little satisfied smirk.
.
You feel him grab your waist and gently press his lips against yours. After a moment of surprise, you kiss him back. You've liked him since 6th grade. You've been waiting and hoping for this moment for over 5 years, and it's finally, actually happening.
.
The girls groan then walk away. But Alex doesn't stop, he just pulls you closer.
.
You hear someone clear their through. Breaking away from the kiss, you turn to see the old cashier smiling at you. You blush as you awkwardly take everything out of your cart and place it onto the conveyor belt. Alex pulls out his wallet and pays. You look up at him and smile.
.
.
.
This WOULD be the best sleepover ever.
