The vehicle stops right in front of Annabelle's home, yet the duo stood still. Annabelle sneaked a glance at Zero, but seeing his emotionless facade, she went to grab the handle.

But it was locked.

She blushed in embarrassment. Hearing Zero's laughter surrounding the car, Annabelle spun her head around to him and glared. But ended up joining him as well. Letting the moment die down, they both stared at each other, bright smiles taped on their face.

Annabelle bit her lip, looked down before once again pulling the handle- which was now unlocked. She pulled the door open, and stepped out. She waved at Zero who stared at her. Blushing again, she turned towards her door, but before she could reach the porch. The sound of a car door slamming shut sounded, causing Annabelle to turn back around.

Zero stood there, a nervous look on his face. Instinctively, he dug his hands into his pocket jeans, avoiding her stare. "I had a great time." He spoke lowly, barely audible. But Annabelle managed to catch it.

She smiled "I had fun too." Her smile warming Zero to the core. He wanted to keep her like that, keep her happy and satisfied in every way possi- he shook his thoughts away, he shouldn't be thinking like that. They were friends, nothing more. But dread fills his entire being at the thought.

Annabelle bit her lip, trying to keep in a blush. Quickly, she moved forward and pecked Zero's cheek before rushing into her home, closing the door behind her. She leaned against it, nibbling on her lip. Wondering where on earth did her bravery come from.

Meanwhile, Zero stood frozen on the porch. He couldn't breathe, afraid that when he does, he will suddenly wake up like his other dreams with her within them, but this felt real, much, much real. With a growing smile intact, he hops into his vehicle and drive off. Wondering about her, that is all he was able to think of, her vanilla scent clouded his mind. Yet he can't help but feel the dread growing deep within, wanting out of whatever is happening between the both of them.
