afterglow.

Zack laughed. "Don't let him hear you say that." He chuckled as he stepped up to the counter with her.

---

Christyn smiled, "are you done being Prince Charming?" She teased him. It was their turn to order now anyways.

"I'm not afraid of him," Autumn smirked before turning to the girl at the counter, ordering her burrito bowl.

--

"Why, indeed I am? Did you miss me?" Alex asked, slinging an arm around her shoulder as they approached the counter.

@ saraya-jade.

Zack ordered his fish tacos and took his wallet out to pay for their things. "That's what you say now." He chuckled.

---

"Nope. I didn't." Christyn teased him. She giggled as he pouted and she leaned up to kiss his cheek. "I'm kidding you big baby."

"And I'll say it later." Autumn teased, sticking her tongue out at Zack as she waited for him to pay.

--

"I'm not a baby. Rude." Alex joked, kissing the top of Christyn's head. He paid for their coffee before handing Christyn her drink.

Zack smiled and thanked the lady before taking Autumn's hand and going down to the end of the counter to wait for their food.

---

"I know." Christyn smiled and leaned against him. "Thank you, babe." She said.

Autumn gave Zack's hand a gentle squeeze, following him to the end of the counter.

--

"No problem at all, love." Alex grinned, kissing her on the head before sipping his own drink.

Once they got their food, Zack took her hand and led her to one of the tables in the far corner so they could eat.

---

"You ready to head to the bowling alley yet?" Christyn asked as she sipped her drink.

Piper quietly ate her food, mulling over the events of the day so far. "We're gonna have to stop at home so I can grab some pjs before we go to Alex's," she mused.

--

Alex looked at his phone. "Yeah, we should probably get there a bit early to make sure we have the lanes we like, anyway." He spoke ebfore sipping his coffee.

@ saraya-jade.

"We probably don't have time right now but we will after we go bowling." Zack told her. "Speaking of we should probably head that way."

---

Christyn nodded. "Lets go." She said as she walked out to Alex's car with him.

"You're right." Autumn spoke, looking down at her phone. She finished up her food before tossing her trash in the garbage, slinging her purse over her shoulder. "Let's roll."

--

Alex opened Christyn's car door, making sure she was inside before heading around to his side and climbing in.

@ saraya-jade.

Zack chuckled before throwing his trash away. He took Autumn's hand as they walked out and he opened her door for her.

---

"Thank you." Christyn smiled and got in. She was still sipping her coffee as they drove to the bowling alley.

Autumn gave Zack a soft smile before climbing into her seat and buckling her seatbelt. She yawned gently, starting to fiddle with the radio as Zack drove.

--

"You're welcome, babe." Alex drummed on the steering wheel as he drove, looking over at her every so often.

@ saraya-jade.

"Do you think they're already there?" Zack asked as he drove. He looked over at her as he stopped at a stop light.

---

Christyn smiled. "Do I have something on my face?" She smirked as she caught Alex staring at her.

"Knowing how Alex likes to be early for damn near everything? Probably." Autumn laughed, shaking her head at her friend's antics.

--

Alex shook his head no. "Nope... you're just gorgeous." He grinned, leaning over and giving her a kiss when they reached the stoplight.

Zack chuckled, "you're right." He said. He stArted driving again once the light turned green.

---

Christyn smiled and rolled her eyes. "You're so charming." She teased him as he started driving again. Soon the bowling alley came into view.

Autumn sighed comfortably, resting her head against Zack's shoulder as he drove. "Whereas you and I are gonna be late to fuckin' everything." She half joked.

--

"I do my best," Alex spoke, laughing as he pulled into the bowling alley parking lot. He cut the engine and dropped his keys in his pocket.

Zack heckled. "No one would have it any other way." He said as he turned down the street to the bowling alley and eventually pulled into the parking lot.

---

Christyn smiled as they walked in. "As usual Zack is late." She said as they went to get their shoes and pick a lane.

Autumn waited for Zack to park the car before jumping out, slinging her purse over her shoulder. "It's gotta be someone, why not us?" She joked.

--

Alex looked at the time on his phone before nodding. "Yep, that's Zack all right." He joked, selecting his shoes.

Zack chuckled as he followed her inside. "You're right." He said, seeing Alex and Christyn getting their shoes. "Hey dudes." Zack said, greeting them.

---

Christyn looked over as she heard Zack's voice. "Only eight minutes late, not bad." She smirked, choosing her shoes.

Autumn rolled her eyes, pulling Christyn in for a hug. "Shut the hell up, it was all Hulk over there." She spoke before grabbing her shoes.

--

"Exactly. You're almost on time, are you feeling okay?" Alex joked as he slipped on his bowling shoes.
