We plop onto benches. We were in the middle of the mall. We had been through every single store and now we were tired and bored. I look around "I guess… We should… probably go home…" Dalton's fingers tighten around mine "You're leaving me?" He pouts. His light blue eyes darkening. I bite my lip "You guys can come to my house if you want. It's just me, two puppies, and a cat." They nod, Rebecca glancing at Dana and blushing when he catches her looking. Awe. They are so cute!
I smile and lean against Dalton, resting my head on his shoulder. Dalton rests his head on my head, singing softly into my ear the lyrics of Superman. I watch as Dana and Rebecca flirt, and I smile as Will stares down at his phone, smiling. I could tell that he was texting Sasha, because his eyes lit up each time his phone vibrated. Gabe and Cole were whispering a little further away from the group, looking over at us occasionally. Hmmm I wonder what those two were planning. I narrow my eyes slightly as Cole pulls out his phone and starts clicking rapidly on the screen. I feel Dalton's phone vibrate in his pocket and I sit up so he can reach it. He pulls out his phone, and I catch sight of a T.A.R.D.I.S on his phone cover. I grin "We need to watch Doctor Who together." He laughs "Yeah!" He stares at his phone then looks over at Cole and Gabe with raised eyebrows. I narrow my eyes, suspiciously "What are they wanting?" He turns to face me, with a bewildered look on his face "They want to go swimming, of all things!" I raise an eyebrow "It's almost dark… I have a pool if they wanna go night swimming or something."
He turns and nods at them. Cole and Gabe cheer. Dana, Rebecca, and Will look over "What? What's going on?" I turn towards them "Night swimming at my house." Dana and Will cheer. Rebecca's eyes widen and she glares at me. I shrug and mouth that it wasn't my idea. And how could I say no to his face? She rolls her eyes and makes the whipped motion. I scowl, playfully. She sticks her tongue out and I copy her. We both realize that it'd gotten quiet and we looked around to see the boys staring at us, smirking. My eyes widen as Dalton scoops me up and puts me into the fireman carry, with me over his shoulder. I pinch his butt "Don't pick me up!" Rebecca scrambles away before Dana can catch her and runs to the exit, with Dana following. The others laugh and chase after them, but Dalton keeps walking along. He lets me down after a few pinches to the backside and grins. I smirk "You, sir, are in big trouble." He smirks "But how could you be mad at this face?" I scowl playfully and licks his cheek before darting after the others. He gasps dramatically and races after me. I reach the exit a couple feet ahead of him and stops.
He comes up beside me, panting for air. I smirk "Well, pretty boy, seems I'm faster than you." He scowls playfully and stands straight. We walk out the exit doors, looking around for the others "Dalton? How did you guys get here?" He looks over "Our manager, Jill, dropped us off. She should be back soon…" His phone vibrates and he looks at it "Well apparently Cole and Gabe told her that we were going over your house for swimming. And she wants to know what time we'll need to be picked up." I shrug "You guys can either spend the night or go home. Either's fine." He smiles "Okay, she's going to bring us some clothes and necessary items." I smirk "Your hair products?" He frowns and says, unconvincingly "Noooooo….. Maybe… Yes." I laugh softly. This boy and his hair. I watch him, affectionately, as he scans the parking lot for the others. Suddenly my truck pulls up. What the- Rebecca?! How did she get my keys?" I turn to glare at Dalton "Did you get my keys from my back pocket?" He gives me a guilty look. I huff softly "You're in trouble." He nods and I head over to the driver seat "You all are in trouble." I give them my serious face and they fight off giggles. See, my serious face isn't very serious. I roll my eyes and climbs in, pushing Rebecca over into the passenger seat "Some are gonna have to be in the bed." They laugh softly and Dalton and Cole climb into the bed of my purple truck.
