--Esmerelda's POV--
I turn my head and smile seeing Nick scrolling on his phone, "Morning," I whisper as he lays his screen down on his chest.

"Morning," he says turning onto his side, "Kylie was going to make breakfast but you looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you," he says.

"I was thinking we could go out and get breakfast," I tell him as he leans his head on his hand, "Or....we could stay in," I whisper going to get up from the bed. He pulls me back in as a laugh leaves my mouth. I wrap my arms and legs around him like a koala bear as he plays with the ends of my hair. I sit up after a while and ruffle his hair as he frowns.

"It's kind of crazy this semester is almost over," I tell him, "Maybe next year we can plan some classes together," I offer up.

"What if you hate me by then?" He asks making me smile, "We don't have the strongest track record," he points out as he spins us around. His arms lay on either side of my head as I pull him closer. He hums into the kiss as I try to think of anything bad to say.

"We can just let the music speak for itself," I tell him as he pulls away. He flips onto the bed beside me as he stares at the ceiling, "Do you want me to ask if Kylie and Harry want to get breakfast...well basically lunch now?" I ask. He gives me a thumbs-up as I get up. He laughs as I quickly grab my robe to cover myself up.

"You do realize I saw all the same things last night," he asks as I put my hands on my hips.

"It's morning now you can see everything," I point out as he shakes his head. I walk into the living room and knock on Kylie's door and smile when she opens it.

"I was starting to think he killed you," Harry says walking out of the bathroom.

"Do you guys want to get lunch?" I ask. Kylie looks at Harry and they both agree. We decide to leave in twenty minutes when I go back into my room.

"Stop that," I groan standing by my door. He looks at me confused as he sets his phone down again.

"I'm not doing anything," he says.

"Yeah but you look good doing that," I tell him as he sits up, "Go get changed or something. You're distracting," I scold as he stands up. He pulls his sweats on as I stand in front of my closet. His arms wrap around my waist his head sitting on my shoulder. With his body attached to mine, I continue picking an outfit.

"You should wear more dresses," he says making me laugh.

"You're a dress guy?" I ask shocked.

"I don't know what that means"

"You know how girls like guys in grey sweats and muscle tees....well there are guys who like sundresses," I explain.

"Fine I'm a dress guy," he admits making me laugh again, "There has to be something you want me to wear," he says as I think.

"I'm helping to get dressed today," I tell him as I quickly pull on leggings. I tell him to turn around as I drop my robe. He covers his eyes like a child as I pull on one of the sweatshirts I stole. It's starting to get warmer but it's still chilly. He throws his shirt on from off the floor before grabbing his keys. I follow him upstairs and immediately jump onto his bed when we get there, "How come we never hang out in here?" I ask. He shrugs his shoulders and opens his closet.

"What do you want?" He asks. I smile standing up to rummage through his closet. I pull out a pair of black jeans and throw them at him as he sits on his bed. Next, I pull out a black hoodie and his leather jacket.

"You're like my personal Ken doll," I tell him as he starts getting changed. He stands in his mirror fixing the hoodie before turning around, "This is hot," I tell him as he does a few poses.

"I feel like I'm going to be sweating by the end do the day but I guess I can manage," he says as I smile.

"How sweet," I whisper as he shoves me out the door. Kylie and Harry are waiting for us in the lobby when we get downstairs.

"Damnit," Kylie yells when she sees Nick walk out of the elevator. I hop over giggling as she throws a twenty-dollar bill at me.

"What the hell is happening?" Harry asks as we walk outside.

"We bet before Christmas that we would get this combo on one of you. Fuck I totally forgot," she says as Harry looks at Nick.

"We should take a photo to commemorate my win," I announce reaching for my phone. I dig around my pockets before realizing I left it upstairs.

"I'll grab it. I think I saw it on my bed," he says. I thank him as he jogs back inside.

"How come you don't get me things like that?" Kylie asks as Harry throws his hands up in defeat.

"We are like an old married couple and we haven't even been together for a year," he says making us both laugh.

"Where are we going to lunch anyways?" Kylie asks as we wait.

"I was thinking of the diner"

"So I can get a turkey club," she says as Harry throws his arm around her shoulder. Nick doesn't take long as he comes out of the doors holding my phone like he's won a trophy.

"Thank you," I smile as he hands it over. We start walking and the other two go ahead a bit. Nick turns to me and looks like he has something to say, "You okay?" I ask.

"I....not that I was looking at your phone to read anything but Dylan texted you," he says looking uncomfortable.

"Oh ew," I laugh taking my phone out to read it.

Dylan: I think we should meet up. You know our chemistry has always been strong

Dylan: I shouldn't have left you that morning and I want to make it up to you

"This guy never quits," I say as I block his number.

"I know you said you would always have a special place in your heart for him...should I be worried?" He asks. I grab my hand and shake my head.

"Absolutely not. Even when we weren't dating I was picking you. Sadly you're stuck with me," I tell him as he smiles.

"I think I can work with that"
