 Mia's P.O.V.

This is the day.

I've been waiting far too long for this to happen.

I'm 18 now and I can do whatever I want whenever I want.

Carson keeps on asking me if I'm ready. Of course I am! But he keeps on asking me over and over and over and over and over again for the past two months.

He says that if I'm not yet ready, he can wait until I am. I know that he's also anxious for this day to come.

I'm also nervous on today, honestly. But I'll never let the nerves overcome me.

He also told me that this is also his first time, and I'm so happy that we are going to do this together.

Well, this is something we wanna do together.

...getting our driver's license!

"I'm not hearing this..." Jessica got up from my bed and opened the curtains to let in some light in the room.

I suddenly started to laugh as Jessica sat on my bed again. "You sound disappointed. What did you expect?"

She started to tie her hair in a messy bun. "I thought both of you will do it already! Darn, Mia..."

Oh, Jessica...

"Look, Jessica, there is more to life and love than sex, remember that." I got up, faced the mirror, and fixed myself. I tied my hair in a high ponytail, leaving the fringes down.

Jessica grunted and shoved a pillow to her face before lying down. "...Mia, you're really killing.me right now."

"Oh, am I?" I stood beside the bed and pressed on the pillow. Hearing Jessica squirm was actually funny to watch, but the fun didn't last long because shr managed to push the pillow and my hands away.

"What the hell was that for?!" she yelled and re-did her bun.

"That was me killing you" I plopped on my bed with a smirk on my face. "And to remind you AGAIN, Jessica, I'm not ready for that."

"...yet." she added. "Mia, there will come a time that when you least expect it to happen...it just happens...without you even knowing it."

I can't help but chuckle. "You are such a bad influence, Jessica."

"That's why I'm here, sweetheart." she smirked then we both laughed.

"So, it's 7:00 in the morning..." I looked at my wrist, pretending that my watch is there. "...driving test is 3 hours from now. What do you wanna do? Oh, I know! Continue our conversation with Mark!"

This is why Jessica stayed over here in my room. We were talking about our love lives. But I focused on hers more. Mark seems like a good and decent guy. Jessica said that he's the thoughtful and romantic type.

You know. The 'Have-you-eaten-cause-I-don't-want-you-to-get-sick' type. And Jessica's enjoying it. Seeing her this happy is rare...and seeing her behaved also.

Carson has this funny feeling with Mark, he feels very uncomfortable whenever Jessica and Mark are together. He can be so demanding at times, I think he's becoming jealous of their relationship, especially when they're having that lovey-dovey moment. I'll be all 'Miss Cordova' for him.
