"Come with me. I bought you another burger and a milkshake." He holds my hand and leads me towards the car.

I settle in the passenger seat as he seats in the driver seat.

He gives me my burger and milkshake. I mummer a thank you and stare at the sky.

"What are you thinking about?" He asks me.

"About the fact that at midnight, it will be our birthday and I am replaying all the birthdays I can remember." I tell him.

"Which one is your favorite?" He asks me. I look at him and then back at the sky though the windshield .

"Well." I sip my milkshake, thinking." I think it was my eleventh birthday."

"What made it so special?"

"It was the year Paris and London were born." I've told him stories of all the places I've been to." On my birthday, my parents took me to the Effiel tower and for my present, they told me that I was going to be a big sister soon. I haven't had a birthday that has topped that."

"That was beautiful." He whispers. I smile  in return.

"What about you? What was your favorite birthday?" I ask as well.

"That would be my fourth birthday." He grins. I frown trying to remember what's special about it.

"You know, there one where I kissed a girl for my first time." He adds.

"You jerk." I elbow him and he laughs.

"But what is your actual favorite birthday?" I ask. " One without a make out session."

"I don't have any." He responds. I start to think he is joking when I see the serious look on his face.

I shrug." I will make tomorrow your favorite."

"With a make out session?" He teases. My cheeks grow hot.

"No Col!" I turn till we are facing each other. "Without a make out session."

"Fine. We'll just have one now." He says and moves from his seat to kiss me. Just like before he stops just when he is about to. He leans his forehead against mine.

"Trent is going to kill me." He breathes against my face.

"Yes, he is." I say it because it's true. If Trent found us like this, I do not want to imagine his reaction.

"But I don't care." Col adds." Whether he likes it or not, he is going to have to accept that I have feelings for you and that's not about to change because I am not going anywhere."

"I don't know what to say." I whisper against his face.

" You don't have to say anything. I don't want thinking that you must feel the same way. I won't put that pressure on you..."

"I like you too." I cut him short." I like you too." And I watch as a smile fills his face.

"Wait." I suddenly pull away from him. "What time is it?"

 "What time is it?"
