"So what if there were no tomorrow's? Would you tell me you love me then?"

3 days later

I'm sitting in class anxiously waiting to receive our exam scores back. The professor calls my name and I walk over to get it, upon sitting down I look at my grade and see I got a 95. I died on the inside, I was so scared I wouldn't pass because Lance left me hot and bothered it was so hard to concentrate the night of the exam.

This 95 I'm definitely gonna boast to Jane! After everyone's scores were distributed, the Professor dismisses us and I quickly get up to leave. It takes me a good few minutes to even walk out of the building alone. This campus is too big for its own good, I shake my head as someone practically rams into me.

God, what is with people bumping into me!

I stop in my tracks as I hear the same annoying but velvet voice, "Watch where you're going!"

I glare at him as I realized who it was, "You cannot be serious! You again?! You watch where you're going cause obviously it was YOU again who bumped into ME!" I was nearly shouting as a few bystanders looked at us in confusion.

He studies my face and my outfit as I do the same to him. I got a better look at his face, he looks the same except he looks more tired but irritated at the same time.

He's wearing a hoodie and ripped jeans and some black sneakers. On top of that was a Moncler jacket. So he's rich and he couldn't pay for the garlic knots he dropped?

He snorted at me, "Oh, it's you. What are you following me or something? Are you planning to kill me over some garlic knots?"

Honestly this guy has some serious problems and I'm about to shove it up his ass.

"That's not even the point! You're the one bumping into people and you have the nerve to yell at others for it." I told him, flipping him off as well and walking away.

He chuckled, it sounded soft. "What are you 5? Flipping people off?"

He jogged up to me when I ignored him, "Alright sorry, I'll pay for your garlic knots. But you're so much shorter than me that I can't even see you." He smirks when he says the last part.

A big "I'm going to kick you" smile shows up on my face.

"Oh sorry giraffe, can't help being this height. Don't want your money anymore just watch where you're going!"

"You're hotter when you're mad." He shouts to me as I flip him off. Once I get into my car I groan in frustration. Why did I have to see him twice! How annoying is he seriously. I take a look at the time and curse, "Shit"

I made plans with Lance, to go out for dinner after class. I got let out earlier today so I assume I have time to go home and change. Although Lance says he doesn't care what I wear, I most definitely care.

7:30 PM

Lance reserved a table at 8 and he said he'd pick me up. I just got home but all I need to do is put on a different outfit.

I rush upstairs but backtrack as I see my dad, "Hey you're home early."

He nods without looking up from his phone, "Yeah I let them off early nothing else had to be done."

"Did you eat? I made some rice earlier and there's chicken from last night." My dad barely eats at home, considering he does his work a lot and he eats out.

"Oh thank you, I'll heat it up soon after I reply back to some emails. Where you going?" He raised an eyebrow at me.

Suddenly I felt like I was in high school again. Used to do this all the time to me, oh memories.

"Oh nothing my friend and I are going out for dinner. I won't be taking the car tonight so don't worry." I wink at him in case he thinks I'm going to be drinking.

"Just don't do anything stupid ... by the way is Danny coming home soon?" My dad rolls his eyes at the stupid part.

Danny usually stays out for a few hours after school with his friends, whether it be shopping or going out to eat.

"I believe so, I know he had to do a project today after class so maybe that's the reason. I'll give him a call and text you." I started to run upstairs.

I stripped quickly as it was 7:45. I pulled out a white off the shoulder top that sat tightly on my upper body. I put on some blue jeans and cuffed them on the bottom. I put on a rose colored chunky cardigan and then a thin jacket that complimented it.

I replaced my canvas tote bag with a blue handbag I had bought last year, I barely use it so it's in mint condition. I put everything I need into it and I fix my hair with some hair milk and spray a few spritz of rose scented perfume onto myself.

"Hey, I'm outside. Take your time I just wanted to come early to avoid being late." I roll my eyes, Lance is honestly the complete opposite of what I envisioned him to be.

"I'm ready, I'm about to leave!"

I walk downstairs and tell my dad good bye just as Danny walks through the door. "Hey so you guys are free to make the steak that's in the fridge too. So Dad just fry it up I already seasoned it. Don't forget to heat up the food! Bye!"

I fumbled with putting on my black and white vans as I try to tell them how to do everything. They all mumbled a 'I know' and slammed the door on me. I walk downstairs as I see Lance on his phone in the car waiting.

I open the car door and I put my seatbelt on. I faced him, "Hey, sorry I had to tell my dad and brother how to heat up the food and everything and it's like I can't even trust them to heat up food and everything it's just sooo a-"

He cupped my face and held my hand and gave me a light kiss. Was this way to shut me up? If so, he can continue.

"Stop worrying, they'll be fine. Guys work in a different way." He squeezes my hand and reassures me.

I muttered nervously, "Sure!"

I turn over to look at him and he's wearing a sweater with some slacks and dress shoes. As well as a jacket that goes along nicely with his whole outfit.

Am I drooling? Why did he get so dressed up.

"You look beautiful." He says giving me a smile like he had just hit jackpot.

"You look handsome." I said at the same time giving a smile like I just won free food.

Throwing our heads back from the laughter, I glanced at him as I feel a smile rise onto my glossy lips.
