*Skylar's POV*

Emma and I walked into a little café and took a seat in a booth besides the window. My mind drifted off to Ryan as I peered absentmindedly out the window. His genuine friendliness caught me off guard and his sense of humor definitely surprised me. I still don't know what I was thinking giving my number out to him, even with his good traits, I barely knew him and the thought of someone I still wasn't completely sure of having a little bit of access to me now made me slightly took me off ease.

   "Sky, look who's best friend is here." Emma teased nodding her head behind me. I craned my neck around slightly letting my eyes land on a obviously annoyed Dylan who slipped into the seat across from me and next to Emma immediately draping his arm around her shoulder as she curled up under him. That familiar sense of annoyance his presence gifts me with began creeping up in the muscles of my face and I had to resist the urge to suck my teeth.

   "Hello! welcome to Little Sweet Cafe. I'm Cherry. Can I get y'all anything to drink?" A perky blonde waitress popped up enthusiastically next to us. Even though her question was aimed at all of us, her focus was directly on Dylan. Her fingers twirled the deep red strands of her hair as she batted her eyes in his direction. A laugh of disbelief fell from my lips as I watched the bimbo waitress entire posture shift to make her chest poke out more. I immediately looked towards Emma to see if she noticed and if looks could kill Emma would be under investigation for murder.

"I'll have a sprite." Dylan requested. I watched him give a quick scan of her body before dismissing her and turning his attention to Emma. "And you Em?"

At least, he's not a complete whore.

"Lemonade, make sure it's sweet. Sky?"

"A new waiter and a glass of water with a slice of lemon." I requested tryingly. She cut her eyes towards me with a scowl which I gladly returned with a dismissing smile.

  "Your drinks will be right out." Cherry said with a stiff smile before walking away. I noticed Dylan's eyes shift behind my head in the direction she walked and kicked my foot hard against his shin. A painful yelp came from his mouth which he tried to cover up with a cough as he narrowed his eyes at me.

Nope, take it back, he's pathetic.

"You okay?" Emma asked concerned as she patted his back. I raised my right eyebrow at him daring him to say anything so I could have my chance put him on blast.

"Yea, I'm good just hit my foot against the table. " He reassured Emma catching my hint.

"Okay, well if you're good, I'm going to go to the ladies room. Please let me come back to see both of you alive." She pleaded to us, but I knew it was mostly directed towards me.

"What the hell was that for?" He barked at me as soon as Emma went into the restroom.

  "I saw you. You're pathetic." I hissed at him.

*Dylan's POV*

  "I saw you. You're pathetic." Skylar hissed at me.

I knew she was referring to me looking at the waitresses butt when she was walking away and mentally slapped myself for it. I didn't mean to, but I always had a thing for ass and just because I looked didn't mean anything. Now, here we are again with her insulting me and throwing me off.

   "And how am I pathetic, Miss Skylar." I asked deciding to play dumb, but also genuinely curious.

  "Oh, don't play that dumb shit with me. You're not slick dude, I saw you looking at her butt while she was walking away." She lashed out on me. I knew I was wrong in this situation, but my stubbornness refused to just let her have it after she already came at my pride multiple times now.

"Literally everyone looks at girls butts, even girls look at girls butts. It's not like I wanted her and was going to go chase after her. I'm a male with eyes obviously I'm going to take a glance, whether it's consciously or subconsciously." I defended myself.

"Look, we both know that Emma likes you and I swear on my own life, I will come after you personally if you hurt her. Actually why don't we save Emma the heart break and you just be real with her and tell her you intentions with her and I'm guess that intention is that you just want some cheeks." She threatened me.

Once again, the girl in front of me left me speechless. Her protectiveness over Emma was admiring and I couldn't deny that she was right. Maybe not completely, but she was right that I wasn't with Emma for the right reasons, but I was already too committed to my plans to finding out of Skylar was the girl from that night and I couldn't let her tell Emma about this or it would ruin everything.

   "I don't know or really give a fuck about the guy that hurt you in the past to make you have such a shitty attitude, but you don't know me or the kind of person I am. Go ahead and ruin the chance of your best friend being happy. That's going to be on you." I pointed out. The harshness in Skylar's eyes broke revealing the vulnerability underneath and her lips tighten as if she was holding something back and just as fast as that tough exterior broke, in a flash it was built right back up and she glared back at me with a newfound hatred and anger.

That moment of vulnerability in those beautifully unique eyes sent me back to that night and gave me a boost of determination to find out if it was her. We held each other's eyes in a showdown challenging each other until she eventually looked away towards the restroom as if trying to manifest Emma to pop up which seem to have work since Emma came right out a moment later.

  "I'm back! Good to see that you haven't killed each other yet." Emma said once she got back to the table not even noticing the tension in the air.

I heard Skylar mutter something under her breathe. Once her and Emma got into a conversation, the exasperation in her stance slowly faded away as Emma energy seemed to calm her. I let my eyes wonder over Skylar's physical, lingering at her neck that was hidden under a olive turtleneck that complimented her deep olive skin. My fingers itch to expose her neck just so I can finally see if she would have a scar or something that would feed my curiosity. I didn't mean what I said when I said I didn't give a fuck about her because in reality, if she was my mystery girl I would raise hell to find out who caused her so much pain.

"Alright, here are y'all drinks guys. Couldn't get a new server, but guess we can't all get what we want. Ready to order?" Cherry asked innocently with a smug smile earning a scowl from Skylar. She handed out our drinks making sure to lean fully over giving me full view of her now exposed cleavage as she  reached over me to give Emma her drink. I noticed that she had unbuttoned the top 2 buttons of her blouse and hiked up her skirt and inch more. My eyes absentmindedly moved on their own up Cherry's legs until I felt Skylar's foot make contact with my shin once again even harder then the first time.

Really need to get off her bad side.
