"CMON, PLEASE! I'll forever love you." I beg Connor, and he sighs before grabbing his keys and walking outside without a word to me.

I smile as I follow him outside, hopping into his passengers seat and he gives me a look.

"Thank you! You're the best ever." I smile, and he rolls his eyes as he smiles.

His smile gives me an odd feeling, and I'm not really sure what it is. It's like my stomach flipped.

"You're pleased, yeah?" He asks, and I nod excitedly. "Fine. 3 books. Max."

My eyes widen. "No, you don't have to buy me any but I just wanted you to drive me!"

"Well I'm driving you I might as well pay too, crazy girl." He adds, and I hesitate.

"I mean... if you want to, but I have my own money, Con." I mutter, and he nods.

"I do want to. Is that okay with you?" He asks, and I nod.

"Yes. Thank you," I smile, and he smiles back.

He turns on the radio and End Game by Taylor Swift is playing. I smile at the memory of us listening to this a few days ago.

"We always seem to hear this song, huh?" He acknowledges, and I laugh a little.

"Yeah. Maybe it's a sign!" I joke, and he raises an eyebrow.

"Maybe it is, pretty girl." He answers lowly, and his tone makes me blush.

We ride in silence for a while until we're approaching the bookstore, and I get excited. A smile appears on my face and I think Connor sees it, because he starts smiling too.

He parks his car, and honestly we didn't get too bad of a parking spot. I'm hoping we can be quick so that there isn't time for me or him to get recognized by people and be harassed like I was before. Sometimes I do wish I could live normally.

We get out and head inside, and I immediately walk to the romance section. Connor follows on my tail, not protesting.

I shop around the section, collecting a total of 6 books. I know Connor said 3, but I'm just seeing my options.

"That's a lotta books, Kate." Connor mutters, and I smile at him.

"I know, Con. I'm just seeing what books I want so I can choose between them." I explain, and he nods.
