After laser tag ended we all decided that we were most definitely going to stay at the arcade all day, mainly because they had bumper cars and race cars. Yay. We all got passes, and William got game tokens, and swore that he was going to win me something. We were all standing in line for bumper cars, which was most definitely going to be really fun.
"Are we riding together?" William asked me.
"Sure, if you wanna." I replied
"OK, but hold up," Georgia, stopped us, "If you guys start going all lovey dovey during BUMPER CARS, I will not hesitate in slamming your car against the wall." Ok, I guess I shouldn't take William on friend trips anymore.
"Ok, ok, but I'm just saying, you slam us into a wall, we slam you back." William threatened.
"Oh it is on!" Georgia yelled
"Like Donkey Kong!" Franchesca yelled from behind her
"LIKE GENGHIS KHAN WEARING SEAN JOHN IN BHUTAN!" Some days, I really appreciate my boyfriend, today was one of those days, actually, every day was like that, but you know what I mean, some days he just really wows me.
"Love you babe." I said laughing, and he hugged me into his side.
"Was that a office reference?" Josie asked.
"Yep." He said, grinning.
"Ok, next!" In contrast to the very done high school boy in charge of Laser Tag, a girl, of similar age, was manning bumper cars, and she was the most hyper and enthusiastic person I've ever seen.
"That's us." William walked up to her, his arm still around my waist.
"Awesome!!" She grinned and motioned for us to go in, "have fun!!" She called behind us.
"Wow. For a high school kid working the morning shift on a Sunday, she sure is happy." William whispered to me, choosing a car.
"I know. I'm not even working and I'm not that happy." I giggled a bit, sitting next to him in the little blue bumper car.
"Alrighty then! Are we all ready?!" The extremely bubbly girl asked, to be answered with a large number of of thumbs up. "Okie dokie! So, remember, don't be too harsh, don't leave your cart and always remember to HAVE FUN!" With that she left the little rink, grinning ear to ear. Sooner or later, our carts started and William, who was in charge of steering, rammed into a random yellow bumper car.
"WILLIAM!" I yelled, as we jolted forward, "why?" I asked.
"It's bumper cars! THATS THE POINT!" He yelled spinning the 2 of us around.
"Ok!" I squealed, as the car swung a bit. "GO GET JO!" I yelled.
"THATS THE SPIRIT!" He yelled, driving us forward towards Josie's black cart.
"I HEARD THAT YOU TWO!!" Josie yelled, coming at us as well.
"DON'T KILL ME!!" I yelled shielding my face, as our two cars collided.
"AM I NOT INCLUDED IN THIS?" Georgia yelled, speeding over to the 3 of us, ramming into our collision.
Obviously, Bumper cars was a delight, although, my back certainly did hurt afterwards, jolting in a car can certainly do that. Anyways, after bumper cars, William pulled out the bag of game tokens he bought earlier.
"Ok. Where shall we begin?" He asked, looking around the arcade.
"Well, William, it is 1:15, we could have lunch?" I suggested.
"Ok, but I will win you a teddy bear."
"Ok, ok, just, don't hurt yourself." I patted his back awkwardly, as he went over to the little restaurant in the arcade.
"So Abster," Georgia swung her arm over my shoulder, "where can I get me one of them, boyfriends?" She asked, somewhat awkwardly.
"I don't know. He found me." I laughed a little, "ask Franchesca how she found her girlfriend!"
"HEY CHES!" Georgia yelled to Franchesca who was talking to some little kids.
"Yeah?" She said walking over.
"How did you meet Colette?" I asked.
"Oh, um, we met at Youth Group for my church."
"You should bring me to that, youth group." Georgia said, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Hey girls, you all want food right?" William walked over to us.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Ok, then come on." He loosely grabbed my wrist and walked me over to the little arcade restaurant, which, similar to most, served hot dogs and pizza.
"Ok, ok! You done?!" William asked, as I took my last bite of hot dog.
"Yeah, I'm done what's the rush?"
"I want to play games!!" He tugged on my arm, standing up.
"Alright!" I stood up. "Bye guys!" I said to my friends, who weren't done eating, "duty calls." With that he started to drag me out of the restaurant.
"ONWARD MI NOVIA!!" He cried.
"Ok, so now you're calling me things in Spanish too?"
"Yep."
He played arcade games for an hour, maybe two, and got me a pink teddy bear. I loved it, and I named it Sprinkles.
"I'll drive home if you guys want." William offered.
"You just want the leg room." Josie said.
"Yep." He said, getting in the drivers seat, as I got in the passenger seat.
"Ugh. I see what you meant about the leg room." Georgia said from the back.
"Exactly." He nodded, starting the car.
We went to Josie, Georgia and Franchescas apartments first. Then to mine. He pulled up in front of the building.
"Bye Roonie. See you tomorrow." William said as I got out of the car.
"Thanks for the ride! See you tomorrow," I grabbed Sprinkles, "and thanks for Sprinkles."
"You're welcome!" He said, and drove off. I went upstairs, we lived on the top floor, I walked into the apartment, it was Sunday, so Lin was home when I came in the door.
"I'm home!" I announced, coming in.
"Hey, how was Laser tag?" Vanessa asked.
"Fun!" I walked over to them.
"Did the boyfriend win that for you?" Lin asked, turning around, referring to Sprinkles.
"Yes. His name is Sprinkles."
"His?" Vanessa clarified.
"Yes his!" I hugged Sprinkles close to me.
"Niñita, 'he's' a pink teddy bear, with a pink bow, named Sprinkles."
"That's right." I nodded.
"Ok, come on, we're going to watch Parks and Rec." Vanessa patted the couch next to her.
"Oh yay! I love this show!"
