Emily gets dressed as I go to pack up my things from staying the night.

"You almost ready Jeffrey?"

"Yeah just grabbing my toothbrush. - Okay, now I'm ready."

She slips a sweater over her head then we walk out the door.

Her mom ends up taking us.

"Thank you Ms.Marin."

"Anything for you two. So, where am I taking you?"

"To the towne center."

"What are you guys going to do there?"

"We're getting food, mom." Emily cuts in.

"Okay."

Her mother drives away and it's just us two now.

Emily turns to me and grabs my hand, dragging me behind her, "C'mon! Hurry! Food!"

"You're funny, slow down." I drag her back to me and pull her close. - "We haven't decided yet."

"Yeah we have, follow."

"Okay?" She starts running down the street in the opposing direction of the towne center and continues dragging me.

"Okay." She stops.

"What?"

"We're here."

"A gas station?"

"Yeah. Shit, I'm not made of money." She laughs histerically.

I join in, "Wait, you're cute, you thought you were buying? I'm taking you out."

She leans into me and presses her nose to mine.
