"Why isn't your seatbelt on?" I asked the girl as my feet pressed against the break lightly. We were currently at the stoplight

"Seat wh- you mean these straps?" she asked

"Yes, you're supposed to secure them so you don't die in an accident"

"How do you secure it?" Aqua questioned

I groaned and leaned over to her, my hands gripped the rough black material and brought it down to her waist. The seatbelt was different from other cars. It had three loops, almost like a sports car.

I took the third loop and brought it between her thighs. A blush spread across my cheek when I clipped it in securely. My mind wouldn't stop focusing on the fact that my hands were between Aquamarine's legs

"Feelings comfortable down there cupcake?" she smirked, I quickly withdrawed my hand and placed them on the steering wheel

Aqua's laugh echoed through the car, her arm rested against the leather interior as her eyes looked out the window

My feet pressed against the gas, my half opened window brought in the cold wind that flung my short hair backwards.

"What is this torture device that we're in?" she asked

"The car?"

"Yes, I see humans in them all the time"

"It's a vehicle, we use it to get around faster instead of walking"

"How do you control such a thing?"

"Well, we control the speed with our feet and our direction with our hands, like this" I smiled and turned the wheel to the right, making it onto the parking lot

"Fascinating" Aqua said in awe. I chuckled and pulled into an empty spot.

Josie and Elena parked in the available spot next to me and we all hopped out the car.

"Oh I love the oxygen!" Aqua squealed as she inhaled the fresh air into her lungs

"Settle down now, we don't want you popping Molly's next" Josie smirked

"Who is this Molly you speak of?"

"She's a bitch, don't worry about that girl" Josie assured

"We stay far away from bitches, got it" Aqua smiled. I rolled my eyes and headed towards the entrance

"I need to get a skateboard" Josie mumbled

"You skate?" Elena asked the girl

"No, but I'll try after today" she laughed. We walked into the entrance and the door sliders parted.

"What sorcery is this!" Aqua yelled when the doors parted and the cold air touched her skin

"Don't worry, it's built like that" I laughed, she eyed me weirdly and walked into the building, giving a death stare at the doors

"She's something else" Elena chuckled

"I think she's adorable" Josie smiled, Elena's neck snapped in the girl's direction and gave her a death glare

"Alright girls, where do we start first?" I asked

"Gap" Josie smirked

We headed in the direction of the first store and my eyes immediately landed on a sky blue hoodie.

"I need this in my life or I will riot" I said and I felt the fabric

"See anything you like Aqua?"

"Yeah" she said, her lips got dangerously close to my ear

"You"

I swallowed a lump in my throat when the words left her lips. I stood frozen in place, she noticed this and chuckled at my pain

"You asked, didn't you?"

"I meant.... Clothing wise"

"Well... I could just wear you" she said

"How can you wear me?" I asked

"Oh God Beverly, it means that your naked body would be on mine like clothes" she groaned and headed towards a clothing rack. A blush appeared on my cheek as I buried the hoodie into my face

"Kill me now" I mumbled

We spent an hour in the store searching for some stuff, I collected the hoodie and a few t shirts. Everyone seemed to do the same. We headed towards another store and Elena squealed when her eyes landed on a cropped hoodie

"Look how cute it is!" she smiled, the hoodie was blood red and had a silver lining

"It would look great with these" Josie smirked as she held up a pair of handcuf-

"What kinda store is this" I laughed and looked around

"I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm loving it" Josie laughed and walked around

Aqua's eyes landed on a small pikachu stuff animal on the counter. Her eyes lit up and her jaw dropped. She looked as if she was drooling over the teddy

"Beverly look! It's so cute!!! Can we get it?!" Aqua grabbed the stuffed animal and clutched it to her chest. She looked like the sweetest thing to ever exist

"Yeah we can" I chuckled

"Oh my God, YESSS" she said balling her fist and pumping it into the air

"Can we get that too!"

I looked over to where Aqua's eyes were focused on and found that she was staring at a-

"No, there's no way in hell"

"Oh come on, please" she pouted

"We're not getting a Kama Sutra book Aqua!"

"Why not!"

"Why would you want that!"

"I don't even know what that is!"

"It's nothing you should be around" I assured

"Oh let the girl get the sex book if she wants to, stop acting all innocent and Christian" Josie said as she approached us

"Don't feed her lies" Elena swatted the girl's shoulder

"You know what, I'll get the book for you Aquamarine. Consider it my gift to you" Josie smirked

"I like you" Aqua smiled

"Atleast someone does" Josie faked laughed and walked over to the cashier, swiping the book

"That's low" Elena mumbled

"Should we head to the food court?" I asked trying to turn the tension away

"God yes, I'm starving"

"You just had a chocolate bar in the car"

"So? The hell that's supposed to do to my stomach?"

"What. Is. This. Heavenly. Scent." Aqua gritted as her eyes frantically scanned the room

"Are you talking about pizza?" I asked

"Who is this Pizza you speak of?"

"It's a food" I chuckled, I headed up to the cashier

"large Pepperoni please"

The woman placed my order, I collected the receipt then headed over to the seats my friends were in

"Everything's so pretty" Aqua pouted as she looked around

"Yes I am, thank you" Josie smirked

"Oh don't flatter yourself" Elena said chuckling

"Oh my God, what's that! I need to meet him!" Aqua shouted, my eyes went in the direction of the Mascot she pointed to

"Is he advertising the game section?" I asked, I glanced back at my friends and noticed Aqua was missing

"Where's Aquamarine?!"

"She went to meet the Mascot" Josie laughed, I groaned and watched the raven hair girl

Aqua hugged the fluffy costume, the mascot held it's hands around her waist and they swayed. What the?

"This is hilarious" Elena laughed

"Are they dancing?"

"Ugh Aqua!" I groaned and walked over to her

"What? Boomer here was just telling me about some weird 20% off any item in the store" she said

"Thanks but we won't be needing anything" I said to the person in the costume

"Are you sure? Just take a look, maybe you'll see something you like" the person said

"Oh please Beverley!" Aquamarine pouted.

I crossed my arms against my chest, my eyes went from the mascot towards the raven hair girl. She had the cutest pout on her lips and puppy eyes. My heart fluttered and my arms dropped to my sides just seeing her like that

"Um, if you want to-"

"Yay! Let's go!" she squealed, her hands gripped mine and I was pulled into the store

"Slow down, you're gonna crash into someone" I said

The girl finally came to a halt when her eyes landed on a colourful machine. The screen had neon characters that bopped to the music and below had neon arrows. Dance dance revolution.

"Oh no, I'm not going on that"

"Come on, I can't dance but I'll try. It seems fun" she pouted again, ugh no!

"There's no way I'm getting on that"

"Please Bev, I don't wanna do this without you" she muttered. Ugh what is this girl doing to me

"Fine, but only one dance" I smiled. She squealed again and headed towards the machine

💖

"So you select a song, watch the character on the screen and follow their movements. Make sure your feet matches up with the arrows on the ground" I showed her, Aqua nodded. My fingers pressed a familiar song and I went onto my platform

"Ready?" I asked

"Ready"

The music blasted through the speakers and filled my ears. The cartoonish characters on the screen began to move. The arrows started to pile in one by one

My eyes frantically glanced from the screen and to my feet, making sure I hitted every step. I was failing miserably.

Aquamarine on the other hands, was having a ball. Her arms threw into the air and her hips swayed with the music. Her feet moved like breeze, hitting every move.

She danced like no one was watching, which is interesting because everyone in the store seemed to stare at us, more specifically her.

She spun on her heels and pressed the steps. The machine continued to pour out its next move which she nailed time after time

I was surprised that it's her first time. She looked so at peace when moving and dipping her body in ways. Her smile was at the widest it could possibly be. I hasn't realised that I was just staring at her instead of continuing my game. She looked so cute

Her eyes met mine and she smiled. She nodded towards me mentally telling me to continue. I chuckled and turned back to my screen

I felt her hand in mine, an electric charge shot straight through my veins. It wasn't as overwhelming as it was last time so I ignored it. Her warm hands in mine still pulled a blush across my cheek

She swung our hands as she tried to help me with my moves. I laughed when she pulled me over to her section and she dashed over to mine. Our feet pounded away at the machine and our laughs filled the store

You could say it was helping, I let go of any tension in my muscles and allowed myself to move to the music. The pulsing beat under my feet took control, my head rocked to the music and my mind was clear

I was hitting every step, I wasn't even focusing on the next arrow. It was like I knew what was coming

Aqua's hands pulled me over to my section again, I laughed when our bodies bumped together, she almost fell to the floor but she quickly pulled herself up. We hurried back to our platform and danced

We danced like headless chickens in a world that was abandoned. It was as if no one else was there, just the two of us. Our hands intertwined and the music filled our ears

I was laughing uncontrollably, the adrenaline and excitement was overwhelming. It coursed through my veins and acted out through my feet.

My head pounded against my chest as I jumped over to Aqua's sections again. We must have looked crazy to those around us but we just didn't care

This moment was just about us.

The song came to an end and we fell onto the floor. Our chests heaved heavily and she laughed hysterically. Applauses and cheers were heard throughout the entire store. I glanced around and saw everyone clapping. I shook my head laughing as I tried to regulate my heartbeat

Never in a million years would I expect to do something like that. Aqua seemed to pull me out my shell in seconds after my friends tried doing it for years. If that wasn't amazing, I don't know what is

My eyes met the girl, she was already staring at me. A small smile appeared on her lips. I realized we were still holding hands. Aqua intertwined our hands tighter and pulled me closer.

The electric flow was still running through my veins. Her touch seemed to ignite it everytime.

Her hands in mine brought a burning sensation to my cheek. Her thumbs started to rub circles in my palm and I lost it. The electric charge felt like it was on overload. My heart beat was pounding uncontrollably

What the actual fuck was going on with me?
