Today Della is forcing me to come over to her dorm and tell her everything about Jordan and me.
I told her there wasn't much to tell but she insisted so after classes today I guess I am going to her dorm, which I haven't been to yet.
Crazy right?
Anyways I am kind of excited to see it. I realized the year is half way over and we haven't had one sleepover.
"Do you have to?" Jordan asks as we walk towards the English building.
I nod, "I can't keep sneaking out of my room every night." I tell him and he gives me a confused look.
"Why not?" he pouts.
I laugh, "You'll survive."
"No I won't."
I pat his arm, "You can have some alone time with your hand tonight." I smile and he shoots me a glare.
"I'd rather it be your hand." He tells me as we take out seats.
I roll my eyes, "That wasn't a compliment."
"Sure it was." He says before sending me a wink.
"I'm still not coming over tonight." I say and his grin drops.

With Terry's permission I head towards Della's room.
I was not about to be busted for being a few dorms down from mine, especially not after sneaking out of the whole building for almost two weeks straight.
Della opens her bedroom door, a big smile on her face.
She opens it all the way so I can walk inside.
Now her room screams Della.
Her bed spread is a mix of hot pinks and bright oranges. There are canvas everywhere. Some have paint on them others are blank.
She doesn't even have a desk. Just more space for her canvas'.
Her curtains aren't the generic ones every room gets. Nope they are hot pink and see-through.
"I love your room." I say, "It's very you."
She giggles, "I know right."
Grabbing one of the canvas' she shows it to me.
It's has only been drawn out and hasn't been painted but I can tell what it is.
"that's us, all of us." I say and she nods.
We are all sitting at the table in the dining hall.
It's taken at the end of the table and it's as if we are in a candid photo.
Poppy is laughing at something Casper is saying. So is Della who's hand is resting on Caspers shoulder. He looks like he's telling some story.
On the other side of the table sits me and Jordan.
I'm listening to whatever Casper is saying but Jordan...Jordan is looking directly at me.
The look on his face makes my breath hitch.
"He look at you like that all the time you know." Della points out.
I shake my head, "No he doesn't."
"It's because you-" She points at me in the painting, "-are never paying attention but trust me babe he is always looking at you like that."
My mouth is suddenly dry.
"Don't think I miss the way I catch you looking at him sometimes." She says and I snap my gaze over to her.
I would pay anything to keep this painting.
"What?" I breathe out and she laughs, "Young love." She mutters.
I choose to ignore her statement.
Setting down the painting I take a seat on her bed. Della sits across from me.
Then she makes me recount everything once again of how Jordan and I got together.
"I can already see it now you guys are going to make the most gorgeous little babies." She squeals and I scoff, "No one said anything about babies."
She gives me a 'sure believe what you want' look.
"I'm serious." I say and she hums.
"All I know is since you guys have been together you have been happier, less snappy. I approve of anyone who can do that to you." She says honestly.
I smile, a genuine smile.
"He's pretty great." I say and she begins jumping up and down.
"Ahhhhh I am so happy right now." She tells me making me laugh.
Once she settles down she tells me about Sadie.
While she wasn't with other girls she didn't want anything serious so her and Della ending things officially.
"You know I think Lily and Cas would be cute together." Della says randomly.
We are currently laying on her bed, head side by side. Her feet are against the headboard and mine are hanging off the end of her bed.
"You think?" I ask skeptically.
Could I see them together?
"Duh, plus they are so similar. Cas loves playing those weird computer games and so does Lily. They both have the same sense of humor, oh and they both prefer to put milk before cereal."
"That last part is because they are just weird." I point out and she laughs, "I suppose so, still I totally see it."
I hum in agreement before an idea pops into my mind.
Sitting up I turn to Della, "We should watch a movie." I say and Della sits up as well.
"Oooh I took a bunch back from my house. I now have The Holiday, Playing For Keeps, and Letters To Juliet."
"Letters To Juliet." I say, excitement lacing my tone, "I haven't seen that movie in forever."
Della pops open her DVD player and slips the dvd in, "Letters To Juliet it is."
☆ ☆ ☆
We end up watching all three movies by the time both Della and I start to get tired.
"We have to do another movie night." She tells me as she puts the dvd back in it's case.
I nod as I slip under the covers.
"Ugh I wish we were roommates." She says and I shake my head, "Trust me you don't. You'd want your own space."
I mean yeah sleeping over with someone is fun but sometimes it's nice to just have a room to yourself.
She shakes her head as she turns out her light.
"I would never get bored or tired of it." She tells me and something in her voice makes me think she's telling the truth.
"You ok?" I ask through a yawn.
"Yeah I'm ok." She tells me before climbing into bed as well.
Soon after I let sleep take over me.
