You, Malachi, and two of your other friends were sitting on the boardwalk together.

The four of you were laughing and having a good time, but then your friends said they had to go.

Leaving you with Malachi alone. And they knew how big of a crush you had on him.

Malachi was sweet, but also teased a lot.

He was waving to your friends goodbye as you stared out at the ocean waves, the sunset projecting off of the water.

Malachi gently nudged you with his elbow, “So, have you gotten a boyfriend yet?”

Malachi’s tone was teasing but had a hint of genuine interest.
