"Fuck my life," Lada whispered to herself as she parked her white Alfa Romeo in the driveway in front of the apartment. She could see that Earn was already waiting outside. She was smiling from ear to ear as she saw the familiar car pulling in, and Lada definitely knew that she liked the girl because of how her stomach fluttered at the thought of kissing those lovely lips. The reason she's cursing isn't because of how beautiful the girl looks, but because of how alluring Earn is while looking at her outfit. The girl was wearing a tank top that only reached her navel, and her sports bra was clearly visible. It was paired with yoga pants that, God forbid, hugged all the delicious curves of the young woman.
She composed herself first. Remembering that the girl is not her girlfriend yet, she took deep breaths to calm her nerves before getting out of her car, holding a pale red carnation in her hand. She secretly scolded herself and forced herself to look anywhere else but at the, well... bosoms in front of her.
"Hey, Good morning." Earn smiled at her, showing her heart shaped lips. It's clear that the girl made an effort to wake up early in the morning as her eyes were still somewhat sleepy, but Lada can smell the lavender soap that Earn used and her hair, which carries the fragrance of flowers and fruit extracts.
"Nothing can be more beautiful than you in the morning." Lada said smoothly with a grin as she walk closer, and then give the flowers to the younger woman. A minute ago she was feeling frisky and anxious, and now, where did that confidence come from?
"Thank you," Earn said, blushing a little and then proceed to brought the flowers to its nose to smell "What's the name of this beautiful flowers?"
"Uh, Carnation.. it's pale red.."
Earn looks at her knowingly and a hint of smile was playing on her lips. Lada silently thanks the Gods because, unlike the first time, Earn didn't ask for the meaning of the flower, but a complaint was given to her as soon as the girl took her place in the passenger seat of her car while Lada was carefully placing the young woman's backpack in the back of the vehicle along with her own belongings.
"Why do we have to leave at three in the morning?" The girl asked while yawning, and Lada found it adorably cute.
"Well, it's you who wanted to see the sunrise..." She answered and then started to drive. After their first date, it seems like something changed, as unlike before, they find themselves constantly glued to their phones, Face Timing each other. They are so busy with their studies that they still haven't met yet after the "incident" at Parco Europa where Lada drives her home after they have a quick stop over at a convenience store to get a refreshment. Often, they are just doing their own thing; there are even instances when they don't talk because Lada was so busy reviewing and Earn is doing the same. They will just be silent for hours while occasionally glancing at each other through their cellphone screens, exchanging smiles, and then going back to their papers.
