when i woke up i was fully clothed and sweaty. i looked to the side of the bed to see if Collin was there and he wasn't. instead he was on the floor on the far side of the room covered in my throw blanket and a pillow from the couch downstairs. i couldn't see his face from where i was sitting, so i made my way over there. when i got to see his sleeping face it was so cute! his eyelashes could only compare to an angels. when i finished admiring his face, i noticed something felt weird. i walked to my bedroom door and it wasn't locked. was last night a dream?

i can't believe how fast this girl can fall asleep. last night after we played dare or dare she hugged me and fell asleep in my arms. i'm not gonna say it was awkward but it sure as hell isn't normal to fall asleep standing up. in the middle of the night i decided to creep downstairs and get a pillow from the couch so i can sleep on the floor. when i woke up this morning i stretched and went to see if Riv was awake. she wasn't in bed. i put on my shirt from yesterday and made my way downstairs. when i got to the bottom of the stairs i seen river sitting on the kitchen counter eating waffles. "morning sleepy head" i said slightly startling her. "oh um morning. want some?" she replied blushing like crazy. wander whats up with her. "no thanks i'm good.so how did you sleep?" i asked. "pretty great." "you do know it isn't normal for you to fall asleep standing up in a matter of seconds?" i asked teasing her a bit. "oh that's what happen?" she asked curiously. "yep. you hugged me then your body just shut down. like a robot." i said chuckling. "oh my bad. when do you want to head to garrio's?" she asked. "uh how about 1:00?" i suggested. it was  12:13 am. i had to shower get her surprise together and do my hair. yes i take forever to get ready! "okay. you might wanna head home to get ready." she said with such grace in her voice. "yeah. i'll text you when i'm finished." i said before walking out the door. okay all i have to do is walk in and say good morning to mom. that will be 1 minute long, go take a shower that will be 10 minutes long, do my hair 20 minutes long, and get the surprise ready 5 minutes long because my mom is good at wrapping gifts. when i seen on the clock it was 12:54. i had to pick up the speed on my hair. when i made it to the checkpoint mom just finished wrapping the surprise and i was fully clothed. i wore my black leather jacket, a blue V-neck, my all black skinny's with some white Adidas. "wow. well don't you look dapper?" mom said complimenting me. "thanks mom, does it really look nice?" i asked nervously. "honey, you look lit" my mom said trying to be cool. "mom. don't ever say lit again." i laughed. i looked at the time and it was 12:58. i texted river to tell her i'm ready. "alright mom wish me luck!" i yelled out before leaving the house. when i got outside her house i seen her car was not in the driveway. how did i miss that striking blue car that i loved seeing her in when i walked out her house earlier? i knocked on the door. "come in Collin" i heard her yell from up stairs. i wander how were getting to garrio's. i have a car but i don't want her to think i'm a rich prick or jerk. i own a 2017 BMW i8. i bought it last month with my pops inheritance money. he told me to buy the most nicest car with that money and i guess i had too. my dad fell in love with cars at the tender age of 8 and he devoted his life to collecting tiny models that were worth thousands, and repairing only the top of he top cars. i don't think showing her the car would be a good idea as of right now. "hey uh riv wheres your car?" i asked taking a seat on the couch. "oh yeah mark took it to work his motorcycle was acting up." she replied walking down the stairs. she wore a nice simple blue T shirt with some acid wash jeans and her black and red Letterman jacket . "so no garrio's?" i asked. "dude a car can't stop us from having fun. we'll just ride the city bus." she said with pride. i don't know how she does it but it's definitely her simple ways of doing things that makes me get butterflies. did i just say butterflies? ew. "okay sure no problem." i said trying to hide the gift behind me but i guess i did a bad job because she noticed it. "hey whats that?" she asked referring to the gift. "something you can't see until we get to garrio's." i said tilting my head up looking at the ceiling. "oh well in that case i can give you your gift when we get to garrio's too." she said holding a flat envelope. well what can i say smart minds think alike. "OK then after you." i said ushering her out the front door. garrio's here we come.
