TO BE YOUNG AND IN LOVE

MY TIME BECOMES YOUR TIME

Angelica hated Monday. Scratch that, she despised Monday's.She hated the six-letter word that was guaranteed to bring her some sort of discomfort. She had said it a million times before and would undoubtedly say it a million times more. Monday's sucked ass. It wasn't too long ago when she was having this same thought, in the same car, with the same person, in front of the same old building. The entire ordeal was incredibly redundant. Angelica sighed and turned to look at her good friend Thomas Jefferson who was in the driver's seat next to her.

"Please don't make me go in there. I'm honestly begging you."

Thomas smiled and shook his head.

"Don't look at me. I was the one who told you to take the day off."

Angelica playfully scoffed before turning her head to gaze at the Schuyler Law office.

"Yeah I know, but still I'd feel better about myself if you would let me think that I actually wanted to be here."

She would've much preferred to stay home instead but her conscious made her rethink that idea.

Plus she had plans after work anyways.

Thomas smiled and flexed his hands on the steering wheel.

" You don't have to go in. I could take you back if you want. Either to your place or mine. It doesn't matter. Hell, if you wanted to drive to Canada right now I would drive you."

Angelica smiled.

"Nah, Canada is like 6 hours away. Plus what is there even to do in Canada?"

Thomas shrugged.

"I don't know? Whale Watching."

Angelica smiled from ear to ear and laughed.

"Yes Thomas! Let's drive 6 hours away and go whale watching in Canada."

Thomas threw his hands up and grinned.

"Hey! I'm just throwing suggestions. Don't be mad at me."

Angelica glanced over Jefferson.

"I could never be mad at you."

Thomas rolled his eyes.
"Angelica Schuyler, I take you for a lot of things but I never thought a liar would be one of them."

Angelica scoffed but the faint smile playing on her lips stayed.

"Thanks."

Thomas looked over at Angelica with the faintest hint of confusion.

"For what? Whale watching"

Angelica leaned her head back on the seat's headrest.

"No dummy.For Friday,the weekend,everything really."

"It was no problem-

Angelica cut him off. It was unintentional but nonetheless Jefferson was cut off

"No,you've always been there for me. More times than I was for you. It just amazes me that's all. I honestly can't fathom the fact that you can still be there for me 100% whenever I need you. It makes me question my own moral compass not gonna lie."

Thomas laughed off her apology. He appreciated it but it wasn't exactly what he wanted to hear. A mere 72 hours ago the beautiful woman in front of him was congested and puffy eyed and now she was smiling and enthusiastic. Thomas didn't quite know exactly what it was that he was feeling but he'd be lying to himself if he were to say that he didn't enjoy Angelica Schuyler slightly depending on him for a night or two.
