"I'm sure you could charm your way into making her like you again".

"I plan to princess".

As the rain got heavier I chewed the inside of my cheek. I didn't have a jacket and I wasn't really in the mood to catch another cold.

"Should we just go back to mine?". I asked.

His grip on the steering wheel tightened. I wasn't really sure why. Did he not want to come?

"Are you sure?".

I frowned. I wasn't quite sure what was going on. "I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't sure. What's going on?". I sighed.

"What do you mean?".

"You know what I mean. Why are you questioning if I'm sure or not. It's raining outside and if you haven't noticed I don't have a jacket. We can't go to yours-...". I stopped talking. Maybe he didn't want to be alone with me?

"We'll just go to yours". I said. "Babe-....

Lies, total lies. If this was months ago he wouldn't have hesitated, we'd have already been back at mine by now.

"Don't think I don't want to be alone with you".

I felt embarrassed, could already feel the heat creeping up my neck. "We're alone right now". I tried to laugh it off to save my embarrassment.

"Leah-...".

"No it's okay". I smiled. "I get it, you don't need to explain yourself". If the ground could swallow me up right now I'd jump right in.

A sigh fell from his lips but we didn't speak anymore about it. I understood what he meant. He didn't want to rush into anything and that was completely fine. It's not as if I was offering him sex.

As we pulled up outside his house I struggled to hide my laugh. Of course Alanna had threw a party. She would take the morning runs like a champ.

People were everywhere. On his lawn, in his driveway and probably in every room of his house.
