Alex Gaskarth is my Best Friend

[i] Capri [/i]

Of course the waiter had to put us in a booth, and of course Jack had to be a ‘gentleman’ more like conniving little butt face, and made Alex sit next to me in the booth why Jack quietly (loudly) snickered as Alex’s cheeks turned red. I on the other hand was making sure my boobs were showing and neither was my butt. The dress seemed to shrink through the night.

“So, birthday boy what do you really truly want for your birthday, besides Capri in your pants.” I don’t even think my or Alex’s cheeks could become so blushing and red, or how awkward it could get when his eyes shifted to me and down my body. Jack was cracking up by now, laughing too hard, hard enough for his soda to come shooting through his nose onto the table.

I ducked quickly, not wanting my dress to get Jack germs. My head ended up on Alex’s lap as he looked down upon my face. I smiled and watched him smile back. He was so flipping cute. His light brown hair frame his face, his smile held some form of dimples, his eyes were so deep they never ended, a pool of chocolate, a replica from Willy Wonka. His hands stroked my hair lightly as he smiled down at me.

“LOVER BOY!” My mind seemed to snap into place as my head left his lap. Alex looked embrassed to say the least.

“Food is here.” Jack mumbled shaking his head at Alex.

“Maybe I should be a stylist for a dating show, I obviously know how to pick out outfits for girls, to impress guys.” Jack said spitting specks of food from his over flowing mouth.

“Or you could be gay Jack.” I said with a smile as I dug into my pasta dish I ordered. After I finished I was going to ask the chef if he could send out a birthday cake for Alex. I continued to pull my dress up constantly, as I realized the silence that was hovering over the table. I set my fork and knife upside down in the plate and turned to Alex.

“I need to go to the restroom, excuse me.” I said to Alex who didn’t move.

“Make me.” He countered, I was confused as I gazed at his smirk.

“I will just climb over you then.” It was as if I had forgotten that I was wearing a dress the size of a baby’s bib. I got on my hands and knees and crawled over Alex’s body, he groaned softly as I got off.

“Well then.” I dusted of my hands and headed to the head of the restaurant. Not before catching Jack’s vulgar words.

“Did you get a nice view.” I walked away and started to think, why was Alex acting so different, why was Jack acting so suggestively?

“Hi yes can I have you bring out a birthday cake to my friend sitting right there,” I pointed to the booth where Alex was. The waiter nodded.

“Can you right I love you on it, oh and fourteen candles?” The waiter nodded and wrote down the order shuffling back to the kitchen. I rushed to the bathroom to check how I looked now. My letter C necklace dangled dangerously low to my cleavage and my dress wasn’t even close to finger tip length. I ruffled my hair with a sigh and returned to the table.

“Can you move Alex, so I don’t have to crawl?” He nodded and got up letting me in the inside of the booth. The dishes were removed and I could see the cake coming to our table.

“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Alex happy birthday to you!” They set the cake down and left smiling at us. Alex’s eyes lit up as he blew out the candles. He turned to me and hugged me tightly his hands wrapping around the bottom of my back, different from his usual hugs; around the shoulders. My arms twisted around his shoulders and I could feel him smile against my neck.

“Thank you Capri.” He unwrapped me from the hug and kissed me on the cheek.

“Your welcome, anything for you.” I said thinking about how true that was. It wasn’t just a friendship; I was beginning to think it was Love. I was in love with my best friend.

--Hole 1

Alex and I had already gotten golf clubs and matching golf balls. Jack paid and we made our way on the synthetic glowing grass.

“Birthday boy can go first!” I shouted smiling at the simple hole placed in front of us. This course we picked was glow in the dark; there was an outside one, profession-ish; and then a Carnival set. This was underwater, glowing. Pretty cool, if I do say so myself. I looked around at the surrounding people. Couples making out on the benches covered in neon starfish and barnacles. I sighed. Alex looked up at me and winked looking back down and shooting a hole in one. Jack and I clapped as I walked up being careful not to bend over and show my ass to Alex and Jack. I was never a pro at mini golfing; I just know Alex loves it.

I grasped the taped end of the golf club and pathetically tried to aline it with the glowing purple sphere. I swung but failed at hitting it. I heard Jack whisper to Alex.

“Help her man, make a move!” Jack whisper-yelled. He should really stop doing that, it doesn’t work for him! I heard foot steps and I knew they were his.

“Do you need a little help there Capri?” He questioned and I turned around; only to turn right back around, noticing the close proximity of our faces.

“Um, ya I’m not that good, obviously.”

“Well lemme set you up.” He walked over and grabbed the purple sphere and placed it in front of me again. I inhaled a breath and waited for what he was going to do. I had butterflies already in my stomach, fluttering excitedly. I felt his arms wrap awkwardly around my torso and all the way to the front of me, holding my hands and placing them on the golf club. His lips were by my ear as he spoke.

“Okay so pull your arm back slightly, and watch the ball.” I did as he told me, his arms guiding me along. I could hear Jack’s faint laughter in the back. I was going to kill him. He knows I like Alex!

“Okay now ready? Swing forward, but don’t let your eyes off the ball, make sure you see the distance between the ball and the hole. Now let go.” I swung with his fingers, breath and arms intertwining with mine. Hole in one.

“Wow, thanks.” I mumbled waiting for him to release me.

“You are beautiful, you know that?” And with that he let go of me.
