Chapter Twelve

You woke up with a smile on your face, nervousness and excitement coursing through your veins at today's event. Even after all the time you've spent with Larissa, there was something about today that just felt. . . special.

Your morning routine went as it always did, shower, get ready, eat, talk with Marilyn, etc. . . It went by slowly, and as the time went by, your nervousness only rose as the time ticked closer and closer to your lunch rendezvous with Larissa.

As you were in your room doing a bit of organizing, you realized you've been too busy to even touch your art set. Your lips tucked into a small frown at the thought. You had brought all of your supplies with you yet they have been doing nothing but collecting dust, and you took a mental note to take some time out of one of your upcoming days to start a fresh painting.

A few gentle knocks on the door brings your attention over to the dark wood. You grab your purse and swing it over your shoulder, along with one last lookover in the mirror to make sure you look okay, you let out a shaky breath and deeply inhale, attempting to calm your nerves as you turn the handle and open the door.

Larissa stood with her bright red lips formed into a large smile on the other side of the door, and a hand sat gently against her hip. You immediately scanned her from head to toe, eyes drawn to the tight dress perfectly hugging her curves, accentuating her hourglass figure. The more you looked, the more you were compelled to admire her curvature, but you were the most caught off guard by the cut of her dress, as the neckline was just deep enough to give you the smallest glimpse of her cleavage.

"My eyes are up here, love." You woke up with a smile on your face, nervousness and excitement coursing through your veins at today's event.
"Sorry. . ." You shyly brought your eyes to meet with her piercing blue ones, unable to hide the blush that crept along your cheeks.

"There's no need for apologies, Y/N. It's natural to be a bit. . . curious." Larissa turns her focus to do a quick scan of your own body, although with how much taller she was than you, she had a better view of your cleavage than you did hers, and she couldn't help the smirk that appeared along her face. "See. Natural."

You softly bit your lip as she leaned slightly over you to shut the door behind your back.

"So, where are we going?" You questioned Larissa.

"It's a surprise."

"What kind of surprise?"

"The kind you'll like. I'm not revealing a thing, and you can try all you want to get it out of me, but you won't succeed." Larissa stated, leading the two of you down the narrow hallway and out of the school. Your eyes squinted as you adjusted to the brightness of the sun as the two of you walked side by side to her car.

She gently swatted your hand away from the door handle so she could open it for you with a small smile, one in which you gave back to her in return for her pleasantries.

Larissa hastily made her way around the car to take a seat behind the wheel, starting the car, and extending her arm just behind the headrest of your seat to watch behind her as she backed her way out of the long entryway.

The radio played a soft melody as Larissa drove carefully from the school grounds and onto the concrete road leading towards the familiar small town of Jericho.

"Do I even get any sort of hint at what you have planned for us?" You broke the silence, your impatience was growing out of pure curiosity.

"It involves the two of us."

"And?--" You peer over at the blonde with your best pleading face.

Larissa cracked a small smile at your pleas and determination to get an answer out of her. She partly admired your sense of persistence. Usually that kind of energy would annoy her from anyone, but from you she found it absolutely adorable. You had the kind of look on your face that made it impossible for her to want to say no.
