Minutes later, MJ and Allen joined them with the drinks.
They spent the rest of the day fooling around in the mall, closing the day with a movie none of them liked.
When the time to leave came, MJ made his move again, trading Kyle for Isabelle as he offered to take him and Cassidy home. The three of them made a silent agreement, waving Allen and Isabelle goodbye before leaving them alone. Allen and Isabelle fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrassed that their friends were incredibly obvious about their intentions.
Isabelle's gaze was on a distant store, hoping the knot in her belly would go, so she could act normally again. A warm touch on the back of her hand made her heart flutter, glancing from the corner of her eye how Allen's fingers made their way to hold her hand. He was not looking at her, trying to keep his cool by distracting himself with some random TV screen the other way. He locked his fingers with hers, feeling his heart pounding again.
