Lost in Dallas [COMPLETED]

ADRIANNA'S POV

At first it felt so wrong but at the same felt so right. This is not what I'd thought would happen when he asked 'for a word' but I'm certainly not going to object. My worries evaporated. That kiss obliterated every thought. When our lips separate i realized i felt breathless. He looked at me and smiled, then said ''i missed the taste of your lips''. I chuckled and then blushed. He held my hand and asked me ''do you think you can give me another chance to make things right? In our relationship, i mean''. My jaw dropped. I'm speechless. I wasn't expecting him to say that. What i'm supposed to reply? Everything's moving so fast and i just need a break. From love, to be exactly.
''Look Jack, things are going way too fast. I'm still thinking about what happened last week and i feel too overwhelmed'', i said trying to hide the pain in my voice.
He held my hand tightly and said: ''I know, and i'm sorry. Why don't i take you on a date on friday night and you feel comfortable, we can start things over but taking everything slow. I'll understand if you say no''.
Do i wanted to say ''no''? Do i wanted to say ''yes''? Everyone deserves a second chance. And if Cam wouldn't have left Cali i'm pretty sure i would've give him another chance but he's not. I need to move on and it's hard but i need to let him go. Jack said sorry and it's trying to fix things so i smile and say ''i'll think about it''.

The rest of my day was boring as usual. I didn't missed much to be honest. No one was mean to me, no one talked to me except for Molly and i realized there's a new kid called Chris in my Visual Arts class. Also realized he's quite but really talented. I really want to meet him and know more about his work so i decided to introduce myself in our next class.
Molly and i went to grab some lunch and decided to went shopping. I really wanted to get some new clothes and she's obviously happy to help me.

Molly is the kind of girl who likes to spend all her money on clothes. And who girl didn't? Well, that girl was me. I don't like to spend money at all, only if its needed and it's because my family didn't always had money. My parents had a rough intro in life. My parents started dating in middle school and my mom got pregnant with my brother when she was 19 and my dad only had 21. She had to left college to raise him. My dad's family gave them a house they had in Chino Hills for them to live. My dad finished his law degree, found a job on a lawyers buffet and did his best to give my mom & my brother a good life. Three years laters i was born. To be honest, i was a ''oops'' kid, they weren't expecting me at all but they loved me like i was. They taught me how important is money and even though my family is wealthy, i don't like spending unnecessary money.
After four hours of shopping, or well, Molly shopping, we decided to grab some Starbucks. Standing in the line to place our orders i saw Chris, the new guy in my Visual Art class. ''Hi! You're Chris, right?'', i asked smiling politely. He turned and smiled at me saying ''Yeah, and you're Adrianna, right?''. I chuckled. ''Yeah i am, nice to meet you. And she's Molly, my friend''. Molly waved politely and he did the same. ''So'', he said continuing the conversation, ''what brings you by? Other than buying Starbucks'', he chuckled. Before i had any chance to answer, he smiled again. The way his lips lifted upward. The way his one dimple crinkles. The way his teeth are perfectly aligned. The warm glow his happiness gives. His smile is a ray of sunshine, and I am a sunburn. ''Hey! Earth to Adrianna'', he said. ''Sorry'', i chuckled, ''i got distracted. And well, we were supposed to 'shop', but she's the only one who's been buying everything she sees in the mall'', i say pointing at Molly. She laughed. ''Guilty!'', she said and got back to her texting. ''And how about you?'', i asked him. ''I just got here. I want to buy new clothes, maybe you can help me out'', he said smiling. Chris was flirting with me? I blush and smile. ''Of course, anything you need''. I turn to Molly and ask her if she's okay if we both help Chris get some new clothes. She told me she would be glad to but her sister needs her for something about her wedding. Molly's big sister is getting married in a few weeks which means Molly is her maid of honor and yeah, Molly has to be there 24/7 for her sister because that's what maids of honor do. I hugged Molly goodbye and she & Chris waved goodbye. ''So, where do we start?'', Chris asks.

After two long hours he bought 4 pair of shoes, 6 t-shirts, 3 jeans and a hat. It was almost 10pm which means the mall was closing. I had a great time with Chris. He told me his parents are very religious, he were in Peru 2 years because he was doing missionary work. Also told me he has a brother and a sister and they're pretty tight. I told him i had a brother, that my dad's the city attorney and my mom is his assistant. I told him about Jason and how pretty tight we are. Also told him my only friend in college is Molly and him now. He smiled when i said that and he said he's glad of being my friend. He doesn't have so many friends either, just  two guys named Andrew. I laughed because they're different people in the same friend group and both are called Andrew. ''It's stupid'', i said, ''but funny though''. He laughed too. ''Yeah,  it's funny!''. ''Wanna eat something?'', he asked. ''Yeah, i'm starving''.
After that we stopped on an iHop. Grabbed dinner, talked about our music taste, which types of movies we like and which type of food we enjoy the most.
I realized Chris and I had a lot in common and it felt great. Not even with Molly i have stuff in common but we do our best to understand each other.
The night went great. He politely offered to give me a ride home and i accepted. When we arrived he opened the door for me. It was a sweet gesture and proved he was a gentleman. I smiled and thank him for that gesture. When we reached my front porch, i turned and thank him for this afternoon/night.
''I really had fun'', i said shyly.

''Me too. It's been a while since i don't have the kind of fun i had today.  Thank you Adrianna'', he said and then smiled.
''Was my pleasure. We should do this again sometime''. I blushed instantly realizing the words who blurred out of my mouth but for my surprise he smiled and added ''yeah, we should... How about Friday?'' . I smiled him back. ''Sounds good''.
We got each other's numbers and he offered to pick me up tomorrow morning when we both realized we have the same schedule. I agreed.

When he was leaving he came close to me and said ''seriously Adrianna, i had fun. Thank you'', kissed my cheek, got on his car and left. I could feel the blood running through my veins and my cheeks getting red.
After waving good bye to him and watching his car get lose in the driveway i started to walk into my house when i heard a very familiar voice saying ''quite show Ade''. I knew that voice. When i turned there he was. It was Jack.
