Abril awoke to the sun peeking through her white curtains, the sun has fully risen and the early morning dust quickly began overwhelming her senses.

Slowly opening her eyes, she shifted to check the time on her phone. "eleven-thirty, not bad," she grumbled to herself.

Sighing, Abril closed her eyes to process getting up for the day.

Quickly her eyes shot back open when her phone began to ring.

Playfully rolling her eyes at who was calling, she answered the phone and quickly put it on speaker. "Hey... Umm do you want to come over? It's been a while, we can have a movie day. Maybe you can sleepover?"

Abril rubbed her face still trying to get the sleep out of her eyes, "Does your girlfriend know I'm coming over?"

She heard a short, airy laugh come from the line, "Why would I tell her, we're just friends."

Abril got up from the bed stretching, revealing her half-naked body to the brisk air. She picked up the phone from her nightstand, "Timothée nothing about the things we've done is friendly."

She could feel him smirking on the other end. He sighed, "Were just hanging babe."

The nickname proving her point, she wanted to stop him right there. Even though she knew she liked it, "T you can't-"

Timothée already knew what the girl was going to say, and he didn't care, "Pack a bag, I'll come pick you up."

Abril sighed, "You can't drive."

"So?"

Abril looked up from her phone when she heard the elevator open. She picked up her duffle bag, knowing it was Timothée since she had to buzz him up to let him get to this floor.

She didn't live on the top floor, but one of the top ones. A penthouse in Manhattan, with a view to die for. Abril remembered when she was younger. She didn't necessarily have a fear of heights, more of falling. She quickly got over that when she got to New York.

"Wow, I haven't seen this place in a while."

"T you were here last month."

"A month is a long time."

As Abril walked towards the elevator, she pressed something against Timothée's chest. "You left these the last time you were here," she said continuing to walk to the elevator.

Timothée looked at the item in his hands, his boxers. He smirked turning to follow the girl. The elevator doors closed.

"How'd you get here?"

"Driver."

"Okay rich boy."

"Were in an elevator going down from your penthouse."

Abril rolled her eyes, "We can take my car back to your place. Let me text the doorman to bring it to the front."

Timothée scoffed, "You have the doormans number?"

"Yeah... Don't make it weird!"

"I'm not! I'm just not rich like you so I don't how this all works."

"Timothée you would have your doormans number if you could drive."

"We live in the city."

And with that the elevator doorsopened and the pair walked through the first floor to the busy street. Abrils' black Range Rover waiting for them. The door man handed her the keys.

"Timothée no funny business tonight."

"I have a girlfriend," he said raising his hands in defense.

"That's never stopped you."

Timothee leaned back and whispered, "You could've been mine..."

Abril heard him, and thought back to the night when Timothée and Lily broke up. Timothée losing feelings for her mostly because of Abril. Abril also remember telling Timothée she wasn't ready for a boyfriend because she felt immature. What type of girl gets involved with a taken guy?

And with that Timothée got a new girlfriend, leaving no time for Abril to change her mind. Abril wondered why Timothée did this, and to be honest it hurt her. Did he not really like her? And why did she keep messing with him? Why did he keep calling her?

The rest of the ride was full of singing along, the duo listening to each others favorite songs. Jamming out the whole way, the vibes when they were around each other were always top tier.

"We're here," Abril announced.

"Give your keys to my doorman," Timothée said with a wink.
