Alex hummed softly. “I don’t feel inclined in looking for them. Hey! Guys, ready to go?”
B stretched out. “I am. The other two are always willing to leave a social situation. Where were you guys?” Her sharp eyes flitted to their entwined arms.
"We were busy," Autumn said, the bluff sliding off her tongue easily as she shrugged.
Alex chuckled gently, which reached B’s ear. She raised an eyebrow.
“Do you guys know what Kayla and J are doing?”
Autumn smirked. "They're busy, also."
B rolled her eyes with a slight sigh. “Fine, we’ll go. Thanks for having us, A.”
"Yeah, thanks for inviting me, Alex. And it was good to meet you guys," Autumn said, smiling at them.
B bowed slightly before leading the other two away.
Alex hummed as they left. The song he wrote about her had come back.
"What're you humming?" Autumn asked as the others left, turning to look at Alex.
Alex perked up and looked at her. “Just a song I wrote a few months ago.”
"Can I hear I? Or is it still in the works?" Autumn wondered with a smile.
“Oh, no, it’s a few months old. If you want I can play it for you. It’s an acoustic, though, soo…”
"I'd like to hear it. And I don't care if it's acoustic or electric," Autumn declared as she grinned at him.
Alex nibbled on his lip. He had tried to deter her, now time to distract her.
“We still have to get butter. I can perform it for you later.”
Autumn shrugged. "Sure. But don't think I'll forget."
Alex hummed and grabbed his keys. “The others should be cleared out by now. Let’s go.”
"What about J and Kayla, though?" Autumn asked, remembering them suddenly.
Alex closed his eyes for a few moments. “Let’s not worry about those two.”
"…All right…" Autumn said with a shrug. "Butter then?"
Alex opened up his eyes once more. “Yes. Butter and other groceries I’ll need.”
"Okay. Your car or mine?" Autumn wondered, looking toward the driveway.
“Mine. My car needs gas, and the store’s right by a gas station.” He held up his keys. “Plus I already grabbed my keys.”
"I know you did, but I just wanted to make sure. I'm ready to go when you are," Autumn declared, smiling at him.
Alex grinned. “Let’s go, then!” He walked out the door to his car.
Autumn tailed after him, walking around to the passenger side of the vehicle. "Ooh, we should get whipped cream while we're there…"
Alex ploppee down in the driver’s seat. “What for?”
