Love Me Like a Love Song

County Line

"Rude." He grumbled as he stood up

"Why don't we join you? We can carry bags for you." Luke suggested, looking at both of us

"We're meeting Lex and Kira." I warned "we can shop for hours." I added on, remembering last time. Luke nodded, not moving his arm from Sarah's shoulders

"Alright, if you guys want to come, your more than welcome to." I grinned, pushing Josh again who slid out of the booth before helping me stand

"We'll meet you at the mall then." Steele smirked, winking at me

"I'll drive with you Ace, I wanna ask you a few questions." River told me, looking at me desperately

"Okay." I grinned as we all walked out of the shop

"I'll ride with you." Luke told Sarah, sliding into the passenger seat of her car, she just nodded as she stepped in as well. Josh and Steele got in Josh's truck, while River and I got in mine

"So what'd you wanna ask?" I questioned, turning off the stereo

"Well, I um- I was wondering if...uh Kira was.....single." He stuttered, turning an adorable shade of pink

"Oh my god that's so cute!" I gasped, looking at him quickly "and yes, she is!" I squealed as I stopped at a light

"Do you mind helping me? I have no idea how to do this dating thing." He explained, scratching the back of his neck

"No problem, are you gonna ask her out today?" I asked as I pulled into the parking lot of the mall

"Yeah, then I was thinking we could maybe go out on Wednesday." He explained as I turned off the truck

"Put your number in my phone, I'll call you later and help you out." I told him, holding my phone out. After he put his number in, we jogged into the mall to find everybody standing there awkwardly

"Hey guys, sorry we took so long, this idiot dropped his phone between my seats." I lied smoothly, grinning as River blushed and glared at me, but didn't say anything.

"Yeah he does that fairly often." Luke joked, pushing River

"Shut up." He groaned as he gave me the finger

"Okay, where to first?" Sarah asked as she stood awkwardly next to Lexi

"I need some new dresses." Kira said, trying to dissipate some of the awkwardness

"Me too! There's a party the next town over this weekend, we should go!" Sarah smiled at us

"Sure, do you know who's party it is?" I asked as the four of us hooked arms and walked off, leaving the boys to follow

"Dallas Johnson." She explained as we walked into Forever 21

"Oh, I was talking to him at Lukas bonfire, he's a sweet guy." I nodded as I looked at dresses

"He's cute, isn't he?" Sarah grinned

"I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?" Lexi asked suddenly, looking over at Sarah

"Ace and I decided to try to put our last behind us, so we had coffee this morning and talked this morning. I really am sorry for being a complete bitch." She apologized, looking sincere

"Oh, okay then." Lexi smiled before going back to shopping. Once we'd found enough, we started walking towards the changing rooms

"You boys wanna tell us what you think, or are you gonna wait out here?" Kira asked as we stopped by the small waiting area where they sat with our purses looking acutely uncomfortable
