Based on Fearless by Taylor Swift

There's somethin' bout the way the street looks when it's just rained, there's a glow off the pavement. You walk me to the car and you know I wanna ask you to dance right there, in the middle of the parking lot.

"You sure you don't need a ride back? It's still drizzling..." Ezra was worried since it was still drizzling.

"It's a 10 minute walk from here Ez. Plus you stay on the other side!" Jill didn't want to trouble Ezra.

"Let me know when you get home? Or Jaz would kill me tomorrow..." Jazreel, the host of tonight's party and Ezra's cousin, had asked Ezra to accompany her best friend home. He was going to anyways, even if Jazreel didn't ask.

"Sure. You get back safe too, Ez." Jill nodded as she looked at Ezra's car.

"I'll watch you leave first. Be careful." Ezra opened his car door and rested his arm on the window, waiting for Jill to take her leave.

"Bye Ez." Jill smiled and waved.

"Bye Jill." Ezra smiled back.

"Jill, wait!" Jill turned at Ezra's call.

"Hmm?" Jill watched as Ezra jogged up to her.

"Thought you could use some extra warmth..." Ezra undid his scarf and carefully wrapped it around Jill's neck.

"Thanks..." Jill didn't know if her cheeks were red from the warmth or from the lack of space between her and Ezra.

"Bye...for real." Ezra chuckled as he stepped back.

Just as Jill turned to leave again, a gust of the frigid wind hit her face. She instinctively nuzzled her face into the scarf, realising that it was cosy...and smelled like Ezra.

"Thank God for this." Jill muttered to herself as she braved the 10 minute walk back to her apartment in the chilly weather.

I'm home :)

Gotcha. Hope it wasn't too cold on the way back?

Your scarf did wonders. I'll wash it and return it to you ASAP :)

Don't worry about it :)

Good night Ez :)

Sleep tight Jill :)

We're drivin' down the road, I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now but you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair, absent mindedly makin' me want you

"Ez, the higher ups want you and Jillian to be in charge of this project." Sam, Ezra and Jill's supervisor, looked at the two. Their market research firm had just taken up a new project from a hospitality company specialising in hotels.

"Me and Jill? Just the two of us?" Ezra clarified. Not that he doubted their capabilities but this was a million-dollar project and he and Jill had only 3 and 1 year of experience respectively.

"You two are leading a team of 5. The bosses were impressed by your recent results and thought it would be a good chance to see how far you two could go." Sam grinned. Ezra and Jill were two of their brightest young associates. 

"Thank you Sam! Ez and I won't disappoint you. Won't we?" Jill flashed Sam a gummy smile before turning to Ezra.

"Definitely. Thanks, Sam." Ezra was a little afraid but seeing Jill's smile gave him the boost of confidence he needed.
