"Zack auditioned for your heart! Ugh, date the guy already!" Lily declared as we were walking around the mall. The guys decided that Lily and I needed some "girl time" while the dudes needed their "man time," so we split up and walked around the mall. "He likes you!"
"Don't say it so loudly," I covered her mouth. "You don't think I know that. He couldn't stop staring at me the whole way here," I replied. "It's just…"
"It's just what?"
"He's a rock star. I'm a college student. He lives where ever he lives at."
"He lives at Huntington Beach."
"Yeah, that place and I live here," I glanced at Lily. "It can't work out."
Lily grinned. "Wait…so you mean you do like…" she squealed. "I knew it!"
"Hold up! I didn't say that. What I was trying to explain is the whole situation here. He's going to leave pretty soon and I don't think I leave a long lasting impression on him," I crossed my arms. "He'll eventually forget the anger problem girl."
"Think again honey. He's willing to strip in public so he can prove to you he has feelings for you. I bet if you tell him to drop off a bridge, he'll follow."
I chuckled. "I guess if I want him off my back…" Lily's eyes widened. "Just kidding, but seriously if I don't like him, then his feelings for me would fade. Then this whole madness will end."
"You know, I think it's the exact opposite," Lily mentioned. "Every time you push him away, the more he wants you. He likes your sass."
"That's what I have been hearing a lot lately," I paused. "Maybe I should go all over him and bring him into me."
"I think he'll like that, too," Lily mentioned. "I think in your perspective, it's sort of a lose-lose situation, but hey I would accept losing if I was in your shoes."
"Of course you would," I agreed. We walked inside Hot Topic. It was pretty crowded. With my lack of attention to what was going on with my surroundings, I collided into another person. "Oh sorry about that," I looked up at the person. He was the lead singer of Cash Cash.
He smiled. "Hey I remember you. You collided into me at the club last night."
"Oh, uh, sorry about that, too."
He held my hand and kissed it. "You don't have to be sorry. Maybe this is a sign," he stroked my cheek. "Fate, possibly?"
I removed his hand from my face. "No," I muttered. "Bad luck, I assume."
He smirked. "A girl with sass…I like that."
I shook my head. "Why does every guy like that?" I mumbled to myself. Lily came over beside me.
She grabbed my arm. "She has a boyfriend," she confirmed. "If you have any plans of asking her out, too late now."
He glanced at me. "You have a man, huh? What does he look like?" he crossed his arms.
Lily started pulling me. "Way hotter compared to you," she hollered before we walked out of the store. I was in shock the whole time that I didn't know what to say.
When my throat finally cleared, I spoke. "I'm so happy you said that."
Lily giggled. "I'm not sure what you have, but rock stars are attracted to you, like a lure or something," she sighed. "I wish I have that."
"Don't you have two guys who are into you?"
"Alex has a girlfriend, but Jack…I'm not sure if he likes me. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a thing for you."
"I highly doubt that," we saw the guys gathered by the benches. They waved when they saw us. Lily stood next to Jack, who quickly wrapped his arm around her while I sat between Alex and Zack. Alex grinned when he saw me.
"So… did you buy a dress?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Why would I buy a dress?"
"Somewhat formal gathering tonight," Jack explained. "We want you guys to come," he whispered something in Lily's ear and she giggled. "We also want you guys to come to the not so clean after party."
"All the bands from JBB are going to be there," Zack added. "Adding more to the awesomeness."
"All of the bands?" I remembered the lead singer of Cash Cash. He was going to be there, too.
He nodded. "Why? Is there a problem with that?"
"What? No, I'm…looking forward to it," I forced a smile. Zack gave me a suspicious look.
Rian closed his cell phone. "Jean-Paul is going to meet us here," he turned to me. "You know who is, right?" I shook my head. "He's the lead singer of Cash Cash. He'll talk to us about some stuff before he leaves the mall."
Great and utter shit-ness, I thought to myself. Lily was gesturing me to go to Wet Seal. I stood up. "I'm going to look around for a dress," I announced. "I want to look nice," Zack stood up as well.
"I'll come, too."
Jack and Lily walked beside us. "We'll join, too," Lily winked at me.
We walked inside Wet Seal. Lily quickly pulled me into the dress section. "What are you going to do now?" she whispered. "Jean-Paul is going to be there!"
"I need someone to pretend to be my boyfriend," I responded. "I just don't know who," Lily smirked. I shook my head. "No…he's not going to…do you know he's going to take advantage of this? You know him!"
"He's the only one who would gladly accept this offer," she nudged my arm. "Don't pretend you don't like it."
I sighed heavily. "Fine," I surrendered. "I'll ask him now," Lily quietly cheered on as I walked towards the two guys.
"Hey Jack, Lily wants you," Jack walked away. I watched him and Lily looking around for a dress.
"Did you find a dress yet?" Zack asked.
I shook my head. How was I going to say this? "Umm…I still need to look around," we walked around the store. My mind was not focusing on finding a dress; it was functioning on how to ask Zack to be my boyfriend for one night.
Zack pulled me out of my conscience. "Are you okay?"
I nodded and almost tripped over a hanger.
"Whoa," he grabbed onto me. "What is going on with you?"
I took a deep breath. "I need to get this out," I started. "Will you do me a huge favor please?"
Zack lips formed into a smile. "What's the huge favor?"
I sighed. Hopefully this came out right…
"Will you be my boyfriend for tonight?"
Thanks for reading!
