My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I took it out.

I was just sitting at home, watching TV.

I checked the message, it was from Jon. He asked if I wanted to hang with him. I replied with a yes and got up to get changed.

By the time I was ready, I heard a car horn honk. That must be Jon. I made me way to the door, then to Jon's car in my driveway.

"Hello." He said, once I opened the door.

"Hey." I smiled at him, and got seated. I closed the door, and we were off.

He turned the radio up slightly, and began tapping to the beat on the wheel. Before long, he started humming, which led to him full on singing.

I needed to ask where we were going, but I wouldn't dare I interrupt his singing session.

I couldn't help but stare, his concentrated face on the road, as he sang louder.

"Jon?" I asked, and he stopped, and looked at me, concerned,"Where are we going?" I asked, with a small smile.

"Oh, I needed to get a new kitchen table and Rylie was out with her friends so I wanted you to come." He said, looking back at the road.

"Oh," I looked at the road, too.

It was silent for the rest of the ride, until we pulled up to the furniture store. We both got out, and made our way in. We just walked in silence for a while.

"So," he brought out,"What did you do today?"

"Well, it's only noon, so all I did was sit at home. What about you?" I asked, walking awkwardly beside him.

"I cleaned the house." He shrugged,"That's it."

"Nice." I said.

"We're on an adventure." Jon said, randomly.

I looked over at him, eyebrow raised.

"We're in Ikea." I said,slowly.

"I know that," he chuckled, "I just needed to brush away awkwardness." He shrugged.

"Oh." I stated.

We kept walking. After a while, I noticed Jon had left my side and was looking at something else. I spotted him, and went towards him,"I didn't notice you leave." I chuckled.

"Oh, I know. I'm a ninja." He smiled, turning to me.

"You're a very good ninja, by the way." I smiled, back.

"I've been in training for 3 years, of course I'm good." He said.

"Who's been teaching you?" I continued on.

"That is top secret, and I can't tell you. But, If you really want to know, his name rhymes with Bill With." He joked.

I dramatically gasped,"You mean to tell me that you're in Ninja training

From THE," I lowered my voice, as if people were listening,"Will Smith?"

"Shh," he shooshed me,"Dont tell anyone!" He put his finger to his lips, smiling behind his finger.

I smiled,too, and we both laughed. We calmed down, and just looked at each other.

"I missed you, Mia." Jon tells me.

"I missed you, too, Jon." I smiled.

I'm becoming unfocused and that's not a good thing at all. He stared at me intently and began leaning in for a kiss. I was lost for to long, and he was getting way closer than he should. I came back to my senses as he neared close.

I backed away, right before he reached my lips, looking at the item beside me,"Oh, look, a lamp! This a nice lamp! You want a lamp? If so, you should get this one!" And he was staring at me like I was crazy. "It's A.. Nice... Lamp." I tried, shrugging.

"I came for a table." Jon muttered.

"Right, but this lamp. It just," I paused, not knowing where I was going with this,"Called out to me!" I talked with a high pitch,"Mia!Mia! Jon! Jon!" I laughed awkwardly.

He just stared at me.

"Right, well, onto the tables then." I walked off.

I smacked my face with my hand. I acted like a total idiot back there. I should have just told him that I didn't want a kiss and just kept walking.

Jon caught up to me, pressing his lips together, as if processing what just happened.

"I'm sorry." I apologized.

"For what?" Jon asks, sticking his hands in his pockets.

"Back there. That lamp wasn't anything special."

"Aw, don't hurt the lamp's feelings. That lamp is very special." He jokes.

I giggle, and smile up at him.

"I had fun today." Jon pulled up to my house.

"I did, too." I smiled.

"Mia,"

"Yeah?" I asked.

"My friend is having a party tonight," Jon scratched his head, awkwardly,"and uh, he said to invite anyone. Maybe, if you aren't busy, you can maybe check It out. I'll be there. You can even bring Chelsea! But you don't have to go if you don't want to." He rambled on.

"Do you want me to go?" I asked.

He paused,"I don't know how to answer that question."

I laughed,"Well, you obviously did because you brought it up and everything." I told him.

"Are you going or not?" He blushed

"I might check into it." I smiled to him.

His smile returned,"Great. So I'll see you tonight?" I asked.

"Maybe." I stretched the word,"Send me the directions to the house later." I told him, before I opened the door.

"Okay. I'll text you later, then." He tells me.

"Okay, bye." I smiled.

"Bye.' He said, before I closed the door. I walked to my door, and went in.

I got my phone out, and called Chelsea.

"Chelsea here." She answered.

"Quick, Chels. Be here in ten. We have a party to attend." I smiled into the phone.
