Omg! thank you so much @Darkyph for being the first person to vote, I really appreciate the support.

"Snow. You up?" Bryan whispered, I lightly felt his hand brush my cheek as he removed a strand of hair, that was over my face. I slowly opened eyes and then smiled. I was still sitting in the front seat, but somehow during the night Bryan and Leo must've switched and he had driven the rest of the way. He was leaning towards me and had that bright smile and all I wanted to do was kiss him. 

I yawned stretching my arms and rubbing my eyes "What time is it?" I asked turning to him again. He didn't move he was still looking at me in a daze with a smile, I was confused "Bryan?" I said, and he snapped out of his trance.

"Oh right, the time!" He said and grabbed his phone to see, "It's six on the dot" He said then rubbed his chin as if to help think, "Wanna get breakfast?" He asked.

"Yes, but I don't think anything is open at this time" I said looking through my window then back at him to prove my point. He rolled his eyes, "Look again, Snow".

I looked through the window then I spotted a little blue shop that looked like a bakery, it had a huge crimson red sign on top which read '24 hours'. I turned to Bryan, but he was getting out of the car and so I climbed out of the sleepy heads' Jeep as well.

*********

I stepped inside the bakery right behind Bryan and as I did a divine smell of sugar and coffee filled the shop. Warm red couches were spread around the area and a little cashier desk was set up at the back of the bakery where Bryan was heading, I rushed to him and we both went to the the counter.

"Hello, and what would you two lovebirds want?" An old woman asked. She was wearing a 90s outfit and had a neat baby pink apron on, and she was smiling even this early in the morning. She reminded me of my grandmother, but she probably was a couple years younger. 

I blushed the color of the '24 hours' board all the way up to my ears, Bryan noticed and tried to hide his smile, but failed miserably, I punched him in the arm. He laughed and then we both noticed the lady looking at us with delight, Bryan quickly cleared his throat.

"Um we'd like to have two blueberry muffins and a two Lattes, only one of them berry matcha flavored, oh and is it possible for you make that to go, please?" He asked, in the most mature and gentlemen-like tone I ever heard him talk.

"Oh and can we also get-" I was saying before the lady went away, but Bryan cut me off. 

"--A butter croissant please" He said, she nodded and went in the back of the bakery. I was impressed by how well Bryan knew me, he ordered the exact thing I would've ordered for myself. We went to sit on one of the plushy soft, vibrant couches as we waited for our order. Bryan sat in front of me checking his phone.

"We've got about an hour's drive before we get to the resort" He groaned

"Well... I could always drive while you rest" I said knowing the reaction he would have.

"Ha-ha very funny Snow" He said not amused by my lame joke. Now I groaned "Will you ever stop calling me that?!" I asked, he thought about it for a moment raising his eye brow.

"Um.......no" He said, I narrowed my eyes at him, he laughed sighing.  The lady approached us now with a two paper bags and two coffee cups. "There you go" She said having a warm light smile on her face.

"Thank you" Bryan said holding the food and drinks, "Ooh and I put a little something for your girl" The woman winked at him after smiling at me then left. Bryan had an amused smirk on his face which I wanted to slap off in a second, but I just stuck my tongue out and ran back to the car, which left him carrying everything back to the car.

*********

"Well that was rude" Bryan said as he took out a blueberry muffin, I laughed and reached for mine. As I took the wrapper off I saw a pink little piece of paper in it, I un rolled it and there was some cursive writing.

It's better to know the answer than to move on, and wonder about it your whole life.                   P.S. believe me I moved on.

I read several times, and suddenly realized what it meant... or at least what it meant to me, I'm so confused if Bryan likes or if even I really like him, not that I think about it. I don't want to be regretting not finding the answer, but I don't want to make things awkward and I'm not ready to be told that he doesn't have feelings for me.

Bryan noticed the paper as I was dazed off, "What's that?" He said sipping on his coffee, I slipped the paper in my pocket "Nothing" I said and surprisingly he didn't push.

"Is it something about us being lovebirds?" He asked relaxed, I looked at him in shock for a second and then replied "No of course not, we're just friends" I said and finished my muffin.
