Me and Lauren walked downtown for hours and it got really chilly so we decided to head back to the truck.

I unlock the truck with the key fob from a reasonable distance and we both climb in, our teeth chattering from the crisp fall wind.

" Dang it's already 3am?" I yawn and rub my face with the palms of my freezing hands.

" I had a lot of fun tonight, thank you." She gave me a sincere smile and buckled her seatbelt.

" me too" I buckled my seat belt as well and put the key in the ignition to start the truck. " We should do this again sometime."

" I agree, now turn on the heat I'm freezing!"

I did as I was told and put the truck in reverse, slowly backing out of the parking spot. " hey you can crash at my place tonight if you want. It's just right up here and I can take you home in the morning."

" yeah that's fine because I'm exhausted " she let out a yawn covering her mouth. " how did you meet Jessie?" She turned in her seat so she was now facing me with the side of her head against the head rest.

" we actually went to middle school and high school together and we've been Best friends ever since." A sly grin forming on my mouth. " he was definitely my partner in crime." I chuckled and looked over to see her just staring at me.

" Eyes on the road!" She reached out and pointed my chin in the direction of the road. " you never mentioned where you worked."  She yawned once again then relaxed her jaw slowly and wiped the tears forming in the creases of her eyes.

" Im a Dj/ co-producer for now until I get my degree. "

I pulled into my personal parking spot and took the keys out of the ignition. " beware of my guard dog by the way he's a total killer." I chuckled and reached behind us to grab my backpack.

" wait what?" Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

" nothing come on it's cold." I shoot her a quick smile and lead her up to my apartment door. " sorry if it's a little messy by the way, I've been super busy this week with a big project." I opened the door slowly making sure I didn't hit Gucci. He usually sleeps by the door and waits for me to get home.

He was surprisingly woken up by the door unlocking and as soon as he seen us he immediately started bucking around like a big bull and wiggling his hips with excitement.

" AWH HE'S SO CUTE " she squealed and purposely fell to the floor to greet Gucci.

" yeah that's my son Gucci. I'd be careful by the way he might try and hump you.." I placed my backpack down by my mixer which was on the dining room table with cords sprawled out everywhere.

"I have a new toothbrush in the top left drawer of the bathroom right down the hall to your right. And I'll go get you something to sleep in. " I walked towards my bathroom quickly picking up my underwear and socks from earlier and throwing them in the hamper. Then turned to head to my bedroom.

I walk into my closet and grab a pair of boxers and a plain grey pocket T-shirt and place them on my bed before retrieving my own pajamas. I threw on my white pajama pants with little cactuses on them and a white long sleeve that read 'welcome to California' on the back with a surfer riding a wave.

I then walk out and find her looking through my vinyl rack, her finger tips lightly brushing over the top. " you like old school stuff?"

" Yeah I love it, we literally have the same taste in music this is crazy. " her eyes still focused on all the different covers.

" hey check this one out" I walk over and grab my new 1975 vinyl I picked up from a record shop a couple days ago and pull it out of its casing. " tell me this isn't the most beautiful vinyl you've ever seen." It was a clear vinyl with a glossy black font that read 'the 1975', printed on a matte black ring in the center.
