What you have might never last, but it's okay to keep rewinding the moment. Yet maybe if I develop feelings me might actually leave!

It was already six in the evening - I put my hoodie back on as I walked to the door not expecting much - looking through the peephole. I opened the door perplexed "We're back bitches!" my siblings shouted at me. "What? Why are you guys back so early?"

"You seem confused kiddo - did you have plans?" my brother asked playing Sherlock on me. I rolled my eyes "I missed you," my sister coed bring out the 'u' her tone dramatic. I groaned laughing, trying to escape her embrace "okay we established that," I said, trying to escape her tight grip - she grinned finally letting go of me.

"What happened?" I asked taking a seat.

"We got Mecdonlads!" Daniel shouted dramatically, something they both share the drama of everything they basically say. I looked his way excited, nevertheless; forgetting about sleep. I hadn't cooked anything today, and I could use some food. We sat down having our meals - "Uncle Jake had to leave for some type of surprise work trip and we were in no way going to babysitting the kids" they both made clear.

I nodded listening to their adventures on the way home, "it was a long 3-hour trip" Lili gestured going all Mamacita on me.

I smiled as Daniel my 13-year-old brother continued to tell me what happened on their short notice 5 days vacation. Shortly Lilian and I Skyeped mom and dad informing them about the change of plans.

As Daniel and Lilian continued to talk to dad about their trip - I listened not engaging in the conversation. Taking a moment to analyse my life, this is my 2nd year of college. I in a way hated living outside Milan where I basically spent all my childhood and teenage life - however this needed to happen. Travelling to the U.S for university seemed like the most applicable thing to do.

I was living alone in my 1st college year - then Daniel and Lilian joined on my 2nd Dani wanted something for a change and Lili had gotten into Mechanical Engineering school for her first year.

My dad's family has been living here for quite some time so dad was partially okay with the idea. As soon as I got my scholarship in NYC he had no say in it.

I had delayed two years before, waiting for the best college opportunity - was not planning on postponing any more years - and NYC came just in time.

I had gotten lost in a trance of mine, ignoring the voices around me until I heard mom calling my name. 'get some sleep sweetheart,"

"yeah, I was about to when they came"

Daniel shortly took off to the balcony talking to dad alone - both Lilian and I went to our rooms after chatting a little bit about her stay at our uncle's and our plans for tomorrow.

"No, long day tomorrow," I told her

"This is my nth time asking you to come shopping with me" Lilly warned.

"You have the worst timing!" I defended

"Fine - but please make space for my poor shopping day in your so busy schedule" she joked.

I giggled promising that I will - soon. She was still not familiar with the area and always had the poorest judgement on items and prices.

**
I woke up to my not so annoying alarm - taking a moment to remind myself of my surroundings and plans.

Both my siblings were still asleep by the time I was ready to leave, I tried waking Daniel up for school with no luck. I decided to hit the road not to be late as I already had too many things to do before going to school myself one of which be printing out a bunch of assignments to submit.

**

As my professor continued to entertain us with the underrated difference between 'Dividend' and 'Treasury Stock' I was somewhere else, too tired already having had 3 lectures and a 1 and half hour meeting with my team project mates I was kinda done with life, and wanted to just spend my time somewhere else.

As soon as my lecture ended I proceeded to collect my belongings having a little too much to carry as I had previously visited the little book store across the college.

Listening to my T.A go on about rescheduling our section was heaven to my ears, smiling; I texted him delivering the news on my way out.

"Malia!" I heard a foreign voice call my name; I turned politely smiling at the boy I could not remember the name of from class earlier today.

"Hey, if it's okay with you - do you have your team complete? I am not in one yet and I am running out of time."

"Well yeah, my team is full - and we already started working too" I explained.

"Oh okay, so do you know someone who still has a place on the team or?" he asked.

I felt kinda bad for him - I wanted to help I really did only it was not my call but I made a mental plan to make it mine nonetheless I answered; "I am not sure, to be honest."

"Okay - can I have your number in case you find something, just hit me up you know," he asked. I nodded twirling my tongue taking his phone dialling my digits.

After ending things with Charlie I later came to know as - I made a mental note to text my teammates about another member join in possibility.

As I made my way down the stairs I called him, my head occupied of all the things we could do before it was time for me to go home.

"Hey," I giggled, at his too cold voice.

"Well you sound ecstatic to hear from me" I joked.

"I am over the moon," he said bluntly.

"I believe you," I giggled again finding a guilty pleasure in his misery.

"Where are you?" he asked,

"Just in front of the big statue, you?"

"In the car, where do you want me to meet you?"

"The main gate," I answered,

"I will be there in a minute," He told me.

"Okay, entertain me until I reach you," I told him,

"With pleasure, so how was your day,"

I smiled, "well it was very long, but my last section got cancelled thankfully. And the dreaded meeting for the project went smooth they seem like good people."

"Good, who cares if they are good or not thou? Business is business they will never get a smart and hot leader as you - so just focus on the job," he explained, and yet again I was allured by his way of delivering.

"I am here, where are you?" I asked, seeing his car approach me. "Oh yeah, saw you."
I ended the phone call, I smiled at him turning towards him a grin on my lips as I made my way in the passenger seat.

"Hey M girl!" he says looking at me, his shades hiding his eyes I always forget the depth of - until I get a chance to gaze at them again.

"Good, missed you so freaking much." I say, pinching his cheek.

He groans laughing, "What do you want before we leave?"

"Coffee and chips - haven't had anything to eat all day."

"And chips is your idea of food," he asks putting his car in reverse.

I laughed - my cheeks hurting from all the smiling "I just want chips."

"Fair enough," we reach, the coffee place near his place, after a short drive and my flaming ability of ranting disappears at the time I need it most 'story of my life' "anything you wanna add?"

"No I am good, zero sugar," I tell him, referring to how I like my coffee served.

"Noted," he says leaving the car - I calm my hormones as I see the world move in slow-mo trying to convince myself that 'I got it under control.' It was hard to breathe when he's around, is all.

We rearrly went to his house - as we never really had anytime.

Yet, I would enjoy myself, when it happens and wish for a week or two after that I would go back. I had a little plan of kissing him - but wasn't sure if I was pushing it. He should be the one to, as I begin to think for a moment - I decide to fuck* what should happen and just make the steps myself, after all, 'I got this.' "yeah Lia you got this!" I mutter under my breath,

The car door opens and I take the coffee cups helping him out. Taking a sip, while he makes himself comfortable in his seat; "That's good,"

"I had my hand on my heart, waiting for that you know," he says starting the car again. I look at him, unable to Fathom my mouth forming an O shape nodding my head trying to get his point.

"So you are....?" I begin

"Yas, poking fun - note my sarcasm," he states.

"And here he is again, the man I like so much. And here I'm thinking we had a connection." he laughs, making me smile.

I always had an idea revolving around one concept and one concept only. I sucked at being funny. But when he laughs it's like my life's mission is complete, it's like I was finally compelling my greatest achievement - only I get to see him there ' a bonus'

I log myself out of the none ending spree around him, making it my job to stop fantasying too much.

"I have no idea, what do you like so much," he asks nonchalantly,

I smile unable to come with a simple answer, so I choose to make less talking and kiss his cheek holding him close. He turns sideways looking at me, "what was that for?" he asks

I shrug my shoulders having nothing to say, "Can I take you down on me now?" he says more serious than I'd like to believe. I shrug again, laughing, "Just keep what you are doing," he gestures with his hand, I take it rubbing on his knuckles meaning to ask.

"What happened?" I ask referring to the bruises, "nothing you wanna know of," he replies, I end it here and make a mental note to ask another time as he stops the car into the driveway.

Taking my books from me, "what are you actually doing with all these with you today,"

"I bought some today, I know I am hot carrying books and all, but not everything I do revolves around seducing you - you know that right," I say.

"And here goes my dirty dreams down the river," he says.

"I am too tired for all this climbing," I say.

"You are so mellow and spoiled you know that," he states.

"Fuck you - you know that?" I reply panting.

"With pleasure, I almost got you in the trap," he says fuddling with his keys, and you think I should run away after a comment like that but no! I am not that smart! I would follow right in fall a thousand times and I would still do it again, call me anytime for the same April's Fool and I'd still fall for it Every Single Time note my words.

But willingly - it's all my choice. And the heart wants what it wants too.

"Is that supposed to make me run?" I ask,

"No it's supposed to make you hot for me;" He corrects.

I giggle, "Your place will continue to be a pit hole to the end of time ha?" I begin as I make my way into his room.

"We are past that are we?" he rolls his eyes - and I sip my coffee laughing putting it down making my way to the bathroom to freshen up in need for a face wash.

I make my way towards his room again, standing by the door. I bit my lip watching him try to make the place seem a bit tidy. "You don't have to," I say.

"You might actually be right, it needs tidying up." he says looking at his very bad creation, I laugh at his attempt.

"You did a great job," I say taking my coffee again.

"Thank you m' lady," he says giving me a hand to help me on the bed, I take his offer smiling taking his laptop opening my Netflix account excited to continue Lucifer's last few episodes on season two.

He lights up a cigarette, and I set by him putting my hair up in a messy bun as the show starts. "Can't believe you actually made me come all this way, for Netflix and chill."

"No," I coed. "I have missed you, neither of us has been exactly free the past say two weeks?"

"Yeah," he agrees, "me too, missed your face too much," he says, his body touching mine.

I make a choice of not looking at Lucifer Morning Star's hot as fuck* abs and look at him. Once you know who that is you will understand what a sacrifice that is,

"Yeah?" I start to say,
