**Amika's P.O.V**

We drive on the road in silence with Xavier behind the wheel. He hasn't spoken to me or said anything ever since the whole Charles incident. He barely looked at me.

I swear I fucking hate Charles. With a passion. And I'm sure Xavier does too.
I glance over at him. He stares straight ahead; his jaw line set. His arm hang on the door window and the other stretched out forward. My eyes go down his body and the way he leans back against the seat. His shirt is loose on his stomach but I can clearly see his chest.

"Like what you see?"

I snap my head back to the window and blush. "Just curious about what you be thinking about," I lie.

And how much you packing?

I blush harder.

He sighs. "Nothing."

The car is silent and I start tapping on my phone.
This is awkward.

"So where....."

We pull up in front of a movie theater. Its probably the biggest movie theater I ever seen. I stare in awe as the door slides open for the people walking in.

Is this heaven?

"I thought we should get our tickets ahead of time," he says, parking the car. "Saves time."

I smile but he's not looking at me so I said OK.

He pays for our tickets and we decide to walk around. I haven't been to a movie theater in a long ass time and now I feel like a kid. If Xavier wasn't with me, I would probably be on the games right now. I look at him.

"We should go on the games," I suggest looking at the kids playing a shooting game. "Its a long ass time until the movie starts."

He Snickers. "You don't want to let go of your childhood do you?"

"And you wanna grow up so fast now do you?"

He laughs and I join in.

"If you want to you can," he says.

"By myself!?" I ask. "You don't want to come?"

He stares at me. I do a creepy smile and he raises an eye brow. "I don't-"

"Come on!!" I beg. He looks over at the racing game.

We stare at the kids laughing and playing.

"OK. But if I kick your ass you owe me."

"Deal!" I shake his hand. "Prepare to eat shit dip shit."

And we walk over.
