|PAST|

Daya's birthday is coming up and I have been planning whatever gifts to buy her and even asked some ideas to Fiona and she suggested to get her something only I could think of, but nothing is coming on my mind like that. Within next 48 hours is her birthday and she is turning 19. Mine still has four months so no worries. I am 18 in four months...waiting for it since high school. 

"Did you get fired?"
"No, I did not and this just a punishment."

Connor and one of the members at station during duty time got into a fight and I think his name is Matt Woods, both getting punishments to stay off duty for a week and now today is the first day. Fiona was unhappy hearing Connor not getting thrown out of FBI post (she needs to rule over Connor and even Ezra) which is funny.

"I like you friend Daya from other day."
"She got a boy James."

Fiona said and I patted his shoulder to feel happy, but he got hold of my wrist and kissed it. I blushed and words were no use here and waited for his answer.

"Leave Daya and you're way better Valeria."

Daya, I guess your words are true that all handsome guys are behind my butt after all. Before anyone could yell a word, my waist was pulled closer to a warm body and hands wrapped around me keeping me tight enough. Connor's mouth went shut and Fiona clapped her hands.

"What a style to prove the world that Valeria Johnson Grace belonged to Ezra."
"Come on Charles at least for few minutes can't I have her?"
"Not even in your dreams Connor."

Guys, I am sitting on his lap in front of his friends and my shorts got hiked up to. He wrapped to much keeping my hands away from moving to. I get that he wants to show his territory, but can't he be gentle and way more like humans. Ezra begin a human is doubtful and the way he walks, hides and all are unhuman things. He walks like cat or even better without making a sound.

"He is just joking Ezra."
"I don't take jokes love."

There we go again. This guy never understands jokes. I would never believe he is 25 with no humor sense. Connor begin himself is great and if he reached out to me before Ezra caught eyes on me then I would have kissed Connor because he is handsome to. Just telling not serious. What if Ezra came in front of me totally normal and asked me for a date? 

My answer would be freaking yes but he chose the chaotic way to reach out to me. Stalking me over one and half years and hiding the fact he is an FBI agent and even killing guys for me. I know this guy can be jealous over the smallest things but isn't that too much? 

"Ezra, you can drop me now...I am not planning to run with Connor anyways."
"I am not giving a chance."

He dropped the grip and got up from his lap and mouthed Connor sorry. He smiled and I walked to Fiona munching on candies Connor brought her as a sorry gift. Should I tell her about this or keep it inside me? No, she can help me and also suggest some tips.

"Can you help me out in something?"
"Sure Vally, what can I do?"
"Dance Night at our school...help me out."
"FUCK YEAH!"

She jumped over the couch and her gun fell from the holster making me flinch and pick it up for her. I should have seen this coming before getting yes. Fiona Olive, 22 and most extrovert woman I have ever seen till now and she surely is a woman yelling out, 'I don't need a guy to hold me.' Everything about her is funny, crazy and even cool. I feel like Connor having a small crush towards her but not 100% sure.

"How about this black here?"
"Just looking wow."

I thanked a million to Fiona for giving me this dress and also setting my hair up

I thanked a million to Fiona for giving me this dress and also setting my hair up. Tonight is gone be the best and Daya will late because she is coming with Tony. She is bringing him as her plus one and I don't have anyone, but she told she will look for someone. Before that came up, she asked me to do this,

"Tony is my plus one and what about you?"
"No one and I am all good-"
"No way, bring Ezra as your plus one sweetheart."

Ezra? He is 25 and he can't come to a high school Dance Night. He won't have time for any of this parties in truth. Think him coming in wearing black tie outfit and dancing with me rather than doing his work.

"He has better work to do than coming with me."
"Ask him and let's see what happens."

I didn't ask him, and I am scared what if he yells on my face saying that he doesn't have time for such nonsense party held by high school kids. Fiona showed me a pair of heels and I wanted to wear them, but I have zero balance in them, and I chose sneakers over those wonderful black heels. Fiona took some pictures for me, and I texted them to Daya to see her reaction and she texted me saying,

'My jaw reached the core of earth.'
'Thanks a lot DD.'
'Your plus one is ready Val pal.'
'Thanks for that too DD.'

I picked my purse and hopped down to see Connor sitting in front of the TV and Fiona clapped her hands for my entry and he turned around and widened his eyes. 

"Holy smoking hell, she looks damn good."
"T-Thanks Connor."

He kissed my cheek and checked around to see weather Ezra is here and luckily for him he isn't or else the dream thing would have opened up again. I hugged Fiona bye and got into the car, and she even told me to take her car instead of cab because it's my Dance Night. I unlocked the car and got in before getting it out of the front gate another car stopped in front of me and it was Ezra.

"Hi..."
"Dance Night love?"

I nodded and I heard his car's engine off and he parked the car right there and got inside with me. Oh lord now this a headache. He pushed the seat backward waited for me to drive the car.

"You can leave-"
"I prefer to stay with you love so focus on the road."

Damn, this guy is good at getting under my toes. I held the wheel like a breaking a candy and reached the school just in time to see Daya waving at me.

"Thank me later but Drake is ready to be your plus one."

Freak. She yelled and Ezra who is beside got stiff hearing it and I can feel the anger just by standing close to him. He pulled me by my waist and leaned to my ear.

"How about we say goodbye to Drake?"
"Ezra...I wanted you to come b-but thought you're busy in your-"
"Ask me whatever you want, and my answer is always yes."

My answer is always yes.
