Just Friends

Meghan's POV:
"Oh wow," Connor said as he placed his hand on his heart when I opened the front door." you  look amazing."

"Thanks babe. You look very dapper in your suit." I replied. For Valentine's Day, Connor and I were meeting jack and Madison for dinner at some fancy restaurant in Beverly Hills. We got in his car and started driving.

Forty minutes later when we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess showed us to the table where jack was already guzzling down bread and Madison was video taping him on Snapchat to commemorate their first Valentine's Day together.

"Hey, sorry we're late." I told jack.

"Oh no worries, we didn't mind waiting." Jack replied. The waiter came back over to us to take our orders and refill our bread basket.

"So How was the drive up here?" Jack asked us.

"A lot of traffic but that makes sense; people are trying to get home from work for Valentine's Day." I answered." Connor slept the whole time."

"Guilty is charged. I was up late with my mom tailoring my suit. I haven't had to wear this since sophomore year of high school." Connor explained.

When the waiter came back with our food about twenty minutes later, we did more eating than talking. Halfway through the meal, Madison and I went to the bathroom to fix our makeup.

"Connor seems like a really good guy; you don't talk about him very often." Madison said.

"Yeah." I replied.

"You don't sound too happy."

"It's nothing, I just think I'm gonna break up with him soon. It's not going to work." I explained." Connor deserves someone who actually loves him."

"No, are you still in love with Luke?" She asked, looking at me instead of at her reflection.

I shrugged although in my head I was saying yes.

"Oh Meghan. How did you get caught up with this guy then? You're a smart girl, you know this is wrong."

"I know!" I exclaimed." I thought that maybe if I started dating a new guy, it's help me get over Luke but it just made things worse. As much as I hate Luke for what happened, I can't help but still love him. For the past five months I've been contemplating whether or not I did the right thing breaking up with him. We could've worked it out but I didn't give us a chance too."

"Does Connor know? Or Luke?"

"No to both. Jack, Sammy, and now you are the only people that know. As far as Bridget and Izzy know, luke is just my ex and that Connor and I are happy." I explained." What am I going to do?"

"You really should break up with him. Maybe he still has a chance to go to that other school in Indiana."

Connor's POV:
When the girls got up and left, jack looked at me and said," there better be no funny business tonight between you and Meghan."

"Of course not. I love her but she's not ready and I don't want to ruin our relationship with sex especially if it's not good." I replied.

"How are you two anyway? Everything going okay?"

"As good as they can get I guess. I do need to talk with her about college before anything else. Deadlines for acceptances are due soon."

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"I've been accepted to a few places but only one in this state and it's all the way up to Stanford. I really want to go to Notre Dame but I don't want to be so far from Meghan. I'm not really comfortable with her ex being around her so much since she's with her brother a lot and he's best friends with her brother." I explained." Stanford is a good school but I've always had my heart set on Notre Dame."

"Are you willing to give it up for a girl you've only been dating a couple of months?" He asked.

"I don't know. I love her but If we breakup somewhere down the line I'm going to regret not going to my dream school." I said." I'll talk to her about it. They're coming back anyway so please don't mention anything to her."

He nodded as the girls sat back down. When we finished dinner, jack and I paid and we all started heading back to LA.

"Happy Valentine's Day babe." Meghan told me after giving me a kiss and getting out of my car. I watched her walk up to the front door where jack and Madison were waiting  and the three disappeared inside.
