I woke up the next morning and Jordan was not there. I looked closely at his room. The the corner, there was a desk with a three monitor computer set up, with red and black headphones in front of it.

My nose is filled with the aroma of eggs and bacon. Yum. I get out of his bed, and walk into the kitchen. Or should I say, find my way to the kitchen. I have no idea where it is.

I walk in and see Jordan at the stove making just as I thought, eggs and bacon. I start to admire his features. Amazing hair, amazing face, just, amazing everything.

I get interrupted when my thoughts get back into reality. "Hey" is all I can manage to say as I stood there.

"Oh, hey Halle. How did you sleep?" He asked as he sorta cleaned himself up.

"Good" I responded, "your bed is like a fluffy cloud. Best sleep I've gotten in years." I glanced him a reassuring smile.

"Good, I'm hungry so let's eat this food" I laughed at his comment and walked over to where he was making the food. "Where are the plates?" I asked.

"The cabinet above the sink" he responded. I walked over and looked into the cabinet, seeing paper and glass plates. I take out two paper plates and walk over to him. "Here you go" I say as he finishes the food.

"Thank you very much" he took the plates and set them up on the counter. He puts two pieces of bacon, and some scrambled eggs on each plate, and takes it over to the couch.

We start to eat the food, "this is really good" I say as I have a mouthful, "I haven't eaten this good of food in forever."

He looks at me with a emotion of shock and disbelief, "if you think this is good, I need to treat you to something, tonight. I'm taking you out to dinner. My treat."

"I feel like I'm making you do this." I say as I look down. "No, Halle, you're not, I want to do this, I really do, pweaseeee?" He looks at me with puppy dog eyes. Oh god not puppy eyes.

"Fine" I give in, "but next time I'm paying for it." He laughs and says, "we have a deal, Ms. - wait you never told me you're last name.. What is it?"

I hesitate, thinking I'm stupid for not telling him it before, but realizing he's never told me his either. "Oh, sorry, it's Mahon. The h and o are silent. It's pronounced like "man." You've never told me yours either, what's yours?"

"Maron. Jordan Maron" he tells me with a smile. "So, Ms. Halle Mahon, tonight, you and me."

I smile as I say, "yes Mr. Jordan Maron, you and me."

"So Halle what are you thinking of doing today?" He asks.

I realize I have no clothes. Thank GOD I have a job at the Starbucks across the street. I wouldn't be able to even think about getting new ones.

I respond, "well, I was thinking tonight during dinner or something I'll tell you what happened and why I was running. But before then, I think I'm gonna go to the mall across the street and get a few things."

"Okay, I'll be waiting to know tonight. And I need to do some things here. Do you want me to drive you over there? I can easily do i-"

I interrupt, "no it's okay, it's jut across the street, and I don't want to get in the way of what you need to do. It won't be long, hopefully."

"Okay, I'll be in the other room if you need me." He says and I stand up, walking towards the door. "Is that wat you're wearing?"

I look down and see I'm still wearing the outfit I was wearing outfit, right before I started to panic, I realized I have nothing else. "Well, you caught me when I was running with nothing in my pockets except my phone and my wallet so yeah this is what I'm wearing" I laugh and he joins in the laughter.

"So I'll see you later?" He asks, "like around when?"

"Yeah I'll see you later" I respond, I look at my watch, it says 11:30. "I'll be back around 2 ish?" I say hesitantly.

"Okay" he says. "I'll see you then Halle." He smiles.

"I'll see you then, Jordan." I smile back as I head to the door, making the first steps into my new life. Finally happy, finally free.
