"How's your dinner?" Sophie said across the table at a smiling Keefe. They had both somehow gotten away from Foxfire homework and managed to get a dinner reservation for the couple. 

"Really good. Yours?" Keefe said, taking another bite of his food

"Good." Sophie said, doing the same. They caught up, shared information about each of their classes. They were both in the Elite Levels, and so they were bombarded with homework. This is exactly what Sophie imagined college being like back in the Forbidden Cities. Sophie took the last bite of her crème brulée.

"I'm finished. You?" Sophie asked

"Yup. Wanna walk around then head back to my place?" He said, standing up

"Sure" They walked out of the restaurant together, hand in hand. They then proceeded to walk around Mysterium, talking, flirting, window shopping, etc. 

"That would look really good on you." Sophie said, pointing to a jerkin with a very nice cape wrapped around it.

"Everything looks good on me. That's why you love me." Keefe said, leaning into a whisper at the last part.

"Oh shut up." Sophie said playfully, shoving him. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh."

"What?" Keefe said as Sophie starred at the dazzling store in front of her.

"Oh no, don't tell me you turned into Biana!" Keefe said as Sophie dragged him into the store. "Look, the kiss was completely platonic! It meant nothing! It was a da-" Keefe was cut off by his shock as he saw the store. "Oh my gosh."

"Mhm. I know, right." Sophie breathed it all in. The dresses, the leggings, the jerkins, the capes, this store had everything! Sophie made a beeline for the tops section. She was just looking at a plain pastel blue shirt when she heard some girls whispering. 

"I think he's single."

"Noo, he has a girlfriend! Look, the girl over there. He's looking at her all swoony."

"No, stupid. That's his sister! It's so obvious, oh my god." Sophie could practically hear the eye roll in her voice.

"Let's go say hi!" Sophie felt her whole face heat up when she realized they were saying hi to her boyfriend. Jealousy burned through her body. She looked behind her and stalked up to Keefe.

"Hey. You ready to go?" She said with a sly smile that she hoped looked sexy or something.

"Heyy" A girl said behind Sophie. She turned and faced her. She was brunette with baby blue eyes and was wearing a cute baby blue dress-and it was very short. The girl next to her had royal blue eyes that went perfect with her red hair. They were beautiful. 

"Hi." Keefe said, with an unreadable expression. Sophie was going to grill him for that later.

"What's your name? I've seen you round' Foxfire" The red head said, with a British accent that Sophie wasn't able to hear before.

"Oh. I'm Keefe." Keefe said, giving them a smile. What the hell? 

"Um, babe? We gotta go." Sophie said, grimly. She gave the girls a glare as their faces heated up. Keefe looked at her in surprise.

"Yeah, sure." He said. Sophie took his hand and gave a smile as they briskly walked out of the store.

"What was that?" Keefe said, suddenly amused.

"What do you mean?" Sophie asked, frowning.

"You have never called be 'babe' before." He said, putting his hands in his pockets and tilting his head. He studied her like she was someone else.

"Eh, first time for everything." Sophie said, shrugging it off. Keefe chuckled.

"Seriously, what is it?" 

"Oh my gosh, you can't tell?! Those girls are looking at you like you're some prize, and I'm standing there while they glanced at me and thought I was your sister! Is it really that hard to believe that I can date you? Also, what is with those girls? 'I've seen you round' Foxfire'" Sophie said with a (probably awful) British accent. "Who are they to say that?" She threw her arms up at the last syllable, for dramatic effect.

"Why are you smiling?" She asked Keefe, who was giving her a highly attractive smirk.

"Nothing, nothing. Continue you're rant." He said, urging her to go on with his hands.

"No, I think I'm done. Why are you smiling? It's not funny!" Sophie said, scowling at his grin. He laughed again and finally said, in a low -and hot- voice,

"You just look really adorable right now." He finally looked her in the eyes. Sophie felt her whole face heat up.

"W-what?" Sophie said, flustered. She was surprised she could even talk. Keefe laughed again.

"You're so cute." And with that, he gently placed his hands on her waist, and kissed her. His cold hands sent shivers down her spine as it touched her bare sides under her shirt. He kissed her harder, moving his hand to her ponytail to angle it more up towards her face. She melted into his touch, and felt immensely grateful that the world had given her this amazing man. A few minutes later, Sophie pulled out her home crystal and leaped them home to Havenfield. They both ran into the house, and Keefe scooped Sophie up and (somehow) ran up the stairs to the third floor while carrying her. Then, he opened the door to her bedroom and kissed her again. Her hands slipped under his sweatshirt to where she could feel his hard lines. Sophie giggled a bit at the feeling of his abs.

"Impressed?" He said between kisses.

"Nope, your ego is far too big for that." Sophie said, barely able to catch her breath.

"But you are enjoying this." He said, pulling away. Sophie tugged on his sweatshirt's drawstrings to bring him back.

"You aren't getting anything till you admit I totally turn you on." He displayed his signature smirk as the breath of his words teased her lips; his face was so close to them.

"I admit" Sophie grumbled, pulling him closer. Though she couldn't help but break out into a smile at his amazing and caring face. Keefe took her hands into his and pushed her up against the wall and Sophie could barely move. She didn't care.

"Knew it." He breathed, smirked, and kissed her once more.
