May got out of work early that day. And as much as she would like to see Gary slopping around at HER apartment, she decided to hang around. She bought some ice cream, and went on a goal-less walk around the city. She hasn't done this a while: spontaneous journeys.
As she walked, teenagers came out of nowhere, hanging out in groups. May tried her best to dodge the hyper teens. They were all playful and ignorant of reality. When they seemed to have dissolved, she took her turn at the path. But when she went pass a shop, a teenager came running out, running into her.
May landed into someone's arms, her ice cream spilling all over him.
"Whoa!" he yelped, catching her. She looked up and saw that she was in the arms, of no other Drew Hayden.
She blushed, "Hi." She said, smiling at him.
"Hi." He replied back, smirking down at her.
"Shit." The teenager spoke, before running back. "Miss, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" He asked, slightly panicked.
"No, I'm fine. Just be careful next time." May assured, completely oblivious at the fact that she was still in Drew's arms.
The teenager nodded in assurance before apologizing once more and he ran off to rejoin his friends who were laughing at his clumsiness.
"Are you alright?" May asked, finally released from Drew's grasp. She noticed the mess she made on his shirt, "I am so sorry!" she replied in embarrassment.
Drew laughed, looking at the mess on his shirt. "It's fine."
"No! look at you, you're a dessert!"
He shrugged, and smirked down at her, "Are you saying I'm delicious, June?"
She giggled, smacking his shoulder. "Oh man, I'm really sorry about that."
He raised an eyebrow at her, "May its fine. It's just a shirt."
She frowned at him, "No it's not! You're a mess." He rolled his eyes, knowing that this would keep going. "Let me at least buy you a new shirt—"
"Really, you don't have too—"
"Please." She was so firm on her stand that Drew knew there was really no arguing with her. It was high school all over again.
"You haven't changed at all, have you?" He laughed, mocking her a bit.
After she bought him a new shirt to wear, they went for a walk around the city, continuing May's journey. It was like they were in high school again; they were just having fun in each other's company and having fun together. Drew had no idea how much May missed this, how much she missed him.
"I think it's time we get a cab." She said, sighing softly, not wanting to end the journey.
"Why?" He asked, glancing down at her.
"My feet are killing me." She looked down at her heeled shoes. For some reason, she was sure there was blood coming out. She thought of an idea. "Hang on." She spoke, as she reached down and took off her heels and stood barefoot in front of Drew, dropping her height. "Okay, I'm good now." She smiled sheepishly at him.
Drew chuckled at her, "You're seriously going to walk barefoot around the entire city?"
"Yeah, why not? It'll be fun!" She shrugged at him. She started her steps but Drew blocked her.
"April, I am not gonna let you walk around barefoot. We can get a cab like you suggested." He narrows his eyes at her.
She frowns at him, "But then that stops the journey of walking." She said with disappointment.
"You're impossible." He shook his head with a smirk on his lips. She gave him a smug smile. Then he thought of an idea himself, he squatted down in front of her and said, "Hop on."
May froze at the gesture. "No way, you have got to be kidding me!"
"Come on. It'll be fun. It's the only way we could continue this 'walking journey'."
She giggled slightly, at his tone. "Drew, seriously, this unnecessary."
Drew rolled his eyes, "Buying me a new shirt was unnecessary, but I let you do that." He pointed out to her.
She sighed, "Fine, grass-head, but you better not tell me I'm too heavy." She hopped onto his back, and locked her arms around his neck. He hooked his strong arms to her legs and walked on.
"You're light as a feather, April, I'm surprised, knowing how much you eat." He spoke cockily.
She deliberately ignored his statement, unable to control her mouth, she spoke her thoughts out loud, "When did you get so—buff?" She asked, smelling his familiar comfortable scent.
He smirked, and if his ego could grow any bigger, it did. "My cousin, Paul, lived in Sinnoh, he liked to work out a lot. So, I thought, might as well." He replied, chuckling a bit at the memory, of Paul, the isolated, sarcastic ass. Doing all these things, for the girl he was madly in love with. Well, at least he would never admit that out loud. But in the end, He and Dawn, got together because miraculously Dawn was in love with him too.
She blushed when she noticed his veins pop out of his arms. Her heart beat raced a bit faster then it's usual pace. "Well, it—it looks good…" She stuttered out a bit.
"Thank you." He said proudly. He was a bit over ecstatic that she is finally noticing him as an attractive guy, not just her best friend. Hey, at least it's somewhere now, right?
