KING'S BAY MALL
"Dammit!"
Courtney
looks up with a start and
sees Lauren
wearing a pained expression.
"What?"
"This is hot!" Lauren cries, slamming
the cup down on the small table between them.
"It's coffee!" Courtney fires back
with a smirk.
Lauren twists up her face and sticks
out her tongue, which has apparently recovered from the scalding, in response.
"So you were saying ..." Courtney
prompts her.
"I was saying," Lauren continues,
pausing to blow on her coffee through the hole in the lid, "that I think
this new outfit will be perfect for my next little outing with Alex."
"Do you have a next outing planned
yet?"
"I dunno," Lauren shrugs. "I'm sure
we'll be doing something soon. I'll just make it appropriate for the outfit."
Courtney rolls her eyes, obviously
amused.
"So what's the deal with you two,
exactly?" Courtney asks after she takes a sip of her own coffee.
"You know, I'm still not sure. And
I'm about to give up trying to figure it out."
"You could talk about it."
"We could ... but you know
how bad I am with stuff like that."
"Point taken."
Lauren picks up her coffee and hovers
over it, debating whether or not to risk another sip. She seems to decide
against it and says, "We're definitely more than friends. There's dating,
there's kissing, all that stuff. But it's not exclusive ... I don't think."
"You don't think?"
"I'm bad at discussing that stuff,
remember? But I think it is progressing. He doesn't seem like he's holding
back so much this time around."
"Definitely a good thing." Courtney
pauses and a smile spreads over her face. "I am so glad it's going well!
If there's any guy I want to see you with, it's Alex."
"Well, hopefully it keeps on working."
Lauren wraps both hands around the coffee cup. "You know, if this keeps
going the way I think it is, I can see myself and Alex winding up just
like you and Jason."
