Rosalina's POV

I was sitting in a local restaurant with my 4 closest girl friends, Candy, Candice, Alissa, and Jennifer (Davids GF). This was our almost weekly hangout spot where we'd come to get away from men and whatnot...ok fine, and to gossip!

"So wait...", my friend Alissa laughed, her short auburn curls bouncing, "The guys were really watching..."

"Pretty much!", I said taking a sip of my Sprite

Everyone except Jennifer broke into hysterics. Jennifer just stared at me with her cold, dark, thickly lined eyes.

"Was David?", Jennifer finally asked

I shook my head, "Actually, no. He was the only one who wasn't watching it!."

"Wow Jen! You really lucked out finding a guy that's so loyal", Candy said through a mouthful of pizza

"Yes. I know.", Jennifer replied cooly

"So what'd you do when you caught 'em Rosie?", Candice asked propping her elbows on the table and placing her chin in them

"Oooh yeah. You let 'em have it?", Alissa asked taking a slow gulp of her drink

"You mean AFTER my eyes practically fell out of my head? I hit 'em with the remote."

Alissa starting laughing and accidentally spat out most of her drink onto her shirt, making all of us crack up.

"Did you say anything to them though or were you just like what the hell?", Candice asked handing Alissa some napkins

"Not really. And it's like...I'm not so surprised that the others were watching it. It was mostly..."

"Nat?", Candy finished my sentence

I nodded and took a bite of my pizza.

"You know...", Candy said staring at me funny, "You and Nat would make really cute babies!"

I started choking on my pizza with shock. Alissa whacked me on the back until I stopped. Then everyone except Jen and I started laughing. Candice started digging into her pocket. She pulled out her cell and began to press a bunch of buttons.

"What are you doing?", Jen asked not really interested

"Looking for...oh cool, here it is!", she said

She reached across the table and held her phone up to my face. Everyone except me started to crack up.

"Oh wow, they're right Rosalina! You and Nat would make really pretty kids.", Alissa said biting her lip

"What the...", I said grabbing her phone and looking at the screen

Sure enough, a picture of Nat was on the screen. I closed the phone and threw it at Candice.

"You guys need help.", I said half-angry

"No Rosalina, I believe that's you. But...whatever let's just stop...so Candy, what's the deal with your party", Alissa asked completely changing the subject

I forgot to mention that Candy's dad owns a local club, and it is HUGE. He's out of town and agreed to let Candy have a party at the club on one of the night's it would normally be closed.

"Oooh! Ok well...it's definatly going on. Next Saturday, 7pm.", Candy said enthusiastically

Just then a waiter walked by with a martini.

"Hey!", I said stopping him, "Can I have one of those?"

"Nice try Rosalina!", he smirked and kept walking

All of us started to once again laugh hysterically

"He knows your name?", Candice laughed

"Yeah well that's what happens when you guys drag me here like...every weekend!"

"When we DRAG you here?", Candice practically yelled in a fooling-around sort of voice, "Ok. And don't tell me. You'd rather us all just go hang at your house right?"

I shrugged, "Sure."

"Yeah. So you can stay there and love on Nat all day!", she added, "Nat! Oh Nat! Nat oh-oh-oh!"

"Ok 1st of all, I don't sound like that", I said regarding her pitiful imitation of my voice,"And second...EW!"

"Yeah...sure!", they all said sarcastically

"Oh COME ON you guys! I thought you would understand by now, Nat and I...we're just friends!"

"Whatever you say Rosie", Alissa added sarcastically

"Hey Alissa...you should ask Qaasim to be your date to my party", Candy said

"You guys really think so?", Alissa asked quietly

"YES!", we all screamed, making her eyes widen

Alissa's had a big crush on Qaasim for a long time, but refuses to ask him on a date ever.

"Ok, now that she's taken care of...who are you gonna' ask Rosie?", Candy asked turning to me

"Oh I don't know I'll probably just do what I normally do, go as friends with Nat."

"Sure Rosalina!", Candice mocked using airquotes, "Your going to "go" as "friends" with "Nat"!"

"Why'd you put quotes around Nat?", Jennifer asked

Candice shrugged, "That's not the point. The point is that Rosalina likes Nat, end of story!"

So...maybe I do like Nat. Ok fine, I definatly like Nat. But we're just friends...best friends! That's all! And what if he doesn't like me back anymore? Now everything's gone complicated, see!? That's why Nat and I just need to stay friends.
