Chapter 39 - Coming Back

Rickey's POV

I laughed at how the girls thought we'd be cute together. I mean, of course we would, I'd be part of the couple. Duh.

"The girls think we'd be a cute couple." I say with a laugh.

"Seriously? I mean, yeah, it's us that we're talking about." Maggie says with a snap.

"That's damn right." I clap. We both laughed at our level of sassiness.

"You know what we should do?" She asks.

"Adore my good looks?" I answer.

"My god Rickey. No, we should go to in and out!" I shout.

"That sounds so fucking good right now." I smile.

"Great then lets go!" She chirps, grabbing onto my hand.

Maggie's POV

We were on our way out of the Mall when a group of 16-17 year old girls stopped us.

"Oh my god! You're Maggie!" One of them asks.

"Flesh and blood." I smile.

"Can we get a picture with you?" A younger girl questions.

"Yeah of course!" I grin. Since there were so many girls, I couldn't take a selfie with them. But luckily, there was a wide mirror that we all could take pictures in.

"Alright, say cheese!" I smile.

"CHEESE!" We all shouted.

I waved the girls goodbye and walked back over to Rickey.

"That was nice of you." He says.

"Its nothing. I always like taking pictures with fans." I reply with a smile.

"Now, lets go get that In and Out!" I shout.

"HELL YEAH!" Rickey yells, which makes everyone's heads turn towards us.

We're excited for food. Sue us

When we arrived at In and Out, the both of us absolutely pigged out.

"I'm going to gain so much weight from this Mags!" Rickey whines.

"Well honey, tell me it wasn't worth it."

"You make a good point." He says.

I heard Rickey laugh from over my shoulder. I looked towards him.

"What?" I ask.

"Just how you typed 'shut your face' made me laugh." He answers, with a laugh.

"Har har. Do you want to spend the night at our flat?" I ask.

"Duh! But wait, do you snore?" Rickey steps back. I lauged and shook my head.

"Okay good. Now drive me home woman!" He orders.

"Damn, so demanding."

We both laugh as I start making my way back home.

-20 Minutes Later-

About twenty minutes later, we arrived at home.

"Ahhh, home sweet home." Rickey says, lounging on the sofa.

"Oh, and feel free to make yourself comfortable Rickey." I sarcastically say.

I was about to join Rickey when my phone rang. It was Jack.

"Hellooo?"

"Hi." He bluntly says.

"Oh no, what's wrong?" I question with concern.

"I just don't like that you're spending more time with Rickey and not me." He sighed.

"Well Jack, he's an old friend who I haven't seen in years! I have the right to hang out with him."

"Well there's no need to get all lovey dovey with him."

"Wait, are you jealous of Rickey?" I ask, trying to hold back a smile.

".....no."

"Liar."

"Fine, I am. I'm just worried that you'll go to him and not me." Jack sighs from the other line. I break out laughing.

He thinks that I'm in love with Rickey.

"What's so funny?" He snapped.

"Jack, oh my word. You poor, sad soul. Rickey's gay." I say, wiping my eyes.

"....well now I feel stupid."

I laugh again.

"You kinda should. I mean, it's a little obvious." I say.

"*sigh* Well I'm glad I've still got you."

"You do." I say with a smile.

"I miss you princess."

"I miss you too baby. But I'll be back soon enough."

"You better."

"Or what?"

"In going to come down there and kidnap you."

"Oh nooooo, I'm soooo scared." I state with sarcasm.

"Haha, well I've got to go, but I'll see you soon yeah?"

"Yeah. Love you."

"Love you too princess."

I hang up and smile to myself. When I turn around, I could see Rickey, Denzel and Bailey holding their hands over their hearts.

"I told you that you two were meant to be." Sophie says.

"Yeah, I know. Several times actually." I say, walking back to the sofa. All four of us spent the rest of the night watching old movies and talking about anything and everything. I was glad that I had my old time besties back. It made me smile to see how all four of us were talking like we used to.

-A few Days Later-

Today was the day that I was moving back in with the boys. I hadn't told the boys that I'd be coming back today, I planned to surprise them. I'd packed all my stuff (literally 6 boxes), and I was ready to go.

"Be safe!" Denzel yelled.

"Don't die!" Rickey shouted.

"Bitch, I'm only going to be half an hour from you. What are you going on about?" I ask with a laugh. We all smile. I give Bailey, Denzel and Rickey hugs before getting in my car and driving off.

-30 Minutes Later-

I knocked on the door three times before Josh answered.

"Hello Sequoia tree." I smile.

"MAGGIE!" Josh shouted.

"Shhhhh! I didn't tell the boys that I was coming back today."

"Great." The sequoia says.

"Can you help me with my stuff?" I ask.

"Sure."

Josh helped me bring up my boxes to the flat. When we set all of them down I ask.

"Where are they anyways?"

"In Conor's room."

"Well then its time to surprise them." I say tip-toeing into Conor's room.

"Who ordered a badass?" I calmly ask. The boys whip their heads back in my direction and smile.

"MAGS!" Conor yells. I run up to the brothers and jump into their arms.

"I'm back to taunt you." I joke. When they pull away I smile.

"Yeah, you haven't changed." Jack says. I laugh.

"I'm gonna go unpack my stuff." I say, walking out of Conor's room.

"Let me help." Jack says walking up behind me.

"Oh why, thank you sweetheart." I give Jack a kiss on the cheek.

-An Hour Later-

No words were said about what happened between Carly and Jack. I was happy about that too. After we'd put everything back in their original spots, I collapsed on my bed.

"Ahhh, I missed you old friend." I pat a spot on my bed and Jack laughs.

"I have a question for you." He says.

"Shoot." I prop myself up on my elbows.

"Will you take this back?" Jack asks, pulling out the ring he proposed with.

"Of course I will." I smile, before giving Jack a kiss. He slides the ring back on my finger.

"I'm not a single lady anymore, am I?" I joked. Both of us laughed and I gave Jack another kiss.
