Practicin' my magic tricks

Amber ate her second burger rather quickly. “I like both options.” She giggled and looked at the screen. “I haven’t gone to the beach in a long time.” She sighed and stretched her hand to get a napkin and clean her mouth and hands a little. “Do you think that we can work this out?” She whispered, closing her eyes as she moved her head a little, to be more comfortable.

Ryan giggled as she poked him. “I’m realistic.” He said. “Florida. Or maybe California.” He said. Ryan glanced at Amber as she yawned, smiling lightly.

Ryan pouted. “I’m not saying the show, but I rather watch that than The Crowd.” He said. Ryan windened his eyes as Amber said that, of course she loved him, they were best friends for way too long. “Yeah yeah, it’s for knowing you that I won’t take you to the gym, I won’t hear you complain.

Ryan thought a little. “That is better than the crown.” He said and glanced at Amber. “3 Burgers are for you. Because you said 3 and then 2 and I’m sure you’ll eat 3.” He giggled.

Ryan thought a little. “We never took a trip together.” He said. “Peaky Blinders? The hell is that?” He asked. “The crown… Maybe.”

Ryan shrugged. “Like in whatever movie you like.” He said. Ryan giggled. “There is too much we haven’t done together and that is sad, considering how long we’re friends.” He said and sat next to her again and took a burger for himself. “What about Breaking bad?”

Ryan smiled as Amber sat near him again. The bell rang and he sighed. “What about a movie? You can chose while I pay for the burgers.” He said and got up to answer the door. He payed for the food and placed it on the center table of his living room.

Ryan rolled his eyes. “That’s an understatement. He is so tactless I’m sure he invented that word.” He said and looked at Amber. “And I apologize, because he isn’t.” He windened his eyes.

Ryan listened to her and sighed as he made the call. “Four burgers please. Yes. That address.” He finished the order and sat on the couch near Amber. “He didn’t. I mean, I just told him we were weird and that if we were fighting it would be easier to solve. And he figured it out for himself.” He made a pause. “He just wanted to help.”

Ryan smiled widely at that and touched her cheek again, caressing it before get up. “More burgers you say. One more? Or two?” He asked with his phone on his hands.

Ryan smiled as she giggled and then shook his head smiling. “Amber… I’ll buy you more burgers, just… Can we try it?” He said. “No being weird, just… Let’s go back being us.”

Ryan smiled lightly between their lips as Amber touched his neck, making the kiss slightly deeper. He pushed a little later and sighed. “It was basically that. With me over you on a couch, but… We’re not there yet. Just drunk there.” He giggled.

Ryan sighed. “Me either.” He whispered. Ryan listened to her and then sighed. “Okay, I can fix that.” He said and leaned slowly toward her. He touched her cheek and smiled lightly before he could start kissing her lightly.

Ryan came closer her. “Mainly, August is a paint in my ass since the day I met him.” He giggled. “But he’s gotta a point.” He said. “Things are already weird between us since… The kiss and all and I can’t be like that anymore.” Ryan kneeled in front of Amber so he could look better at her face. “I like you Amber. I wanna kiss you and hold your hand on the street and present you to Maggie as my girlfriend. I can’t just be your best friend anymore. We can go slow… Like… A new relationship and not assume just because we know each other for years that things need to go fast.” He said. “What do you say about that?”

Ryan looked down trying to think on what he was going to say and then looked at Amber, looking for food. He smiled at that. “Why don’t you listen to me now, and I’ll feed you properly, in a few?” He asked and got up the chair.

August smiled as Amber got into the talk and stood up himself. “Are you?” He asked. The whole table stayed in silence. Even Ryan got surprised with what was happening and sighed. “I will act on it now, so… Can you all go? Please?” He said and looked at everyone from the theater. August was the first one to react. “Sam, can you take me home?” Samantha sighed. “Sure, come on guys.” She said and Serena took the rest of her burger and pushed Darren to the door. “Bye everyone.” Ryan said and then took a deep breath.

Serena sighed. “So many times… I guess Darren is right, I just… Didn’t want to end it. Not sure why.” She said. Darren shrugged. “I have no one, yet. I’m on the search for the perfect person. Maybe that is why I’m single.” He giggled. August let Darren talk and then smiled. “I have someone in mind… I just… Need to act on it. Right Ryan?” He said and Ryan blinked. “Well, if you say so.” Ryan bit his lower lip. “I mean…” August continued. “I could continue to be like I am, but then, I’m sure it would start being weird, so… I think it’s better to rip the band-aid and just… Go for it.” He said and Ryan understood what he as saying and glanced at the Amber and back at August. “When are you gonna do that?” He asked and August shrugged. “Now could be a good moment.” He said and Ryan pouted. “Now you are here… You can’t do that with all of us here.” Ryan said feeling annoyed about how he was talking about him as he was August. “That is true… Maybe I should go home…” August said.
