I put all my stuff away and I grab my little purse that literally only holds some cash, my debit card, ID, phone and a cheap ass pair of headphones. I take out my phone though and throw in lip gloss. I unplug my portable charger and squeeze it in there as well. It better fit because I don't have another bag that goes with this outfit. I finally close the bag and I place the strap on my shoulder. I turn off the lights upstairs and go downstairs. I wait on the couch, I unlock my phone when I get a notification.

Jace : I'm 2 minutes away. 

At least I know his phone isn't broken. I just roll my eyes and next thing I know there's a knock on the door. Must be Jace. I get up and turn off the lights, I open the front door and I roll my eyes even though he looks scrumptious. I let him look at me for a second. He's wearing a a blue suit and his dress shirt just so happens to match my dress. His hair is disheveled but the top is sort of going to the side which gives it a put-together sort of look. 

I finish taking him in just to see that he's still staring at me well I think my lips really

I finish taking him in just to see that he's still staring at me well I think my lips really. I step outside, locking the door behind me and I close it.

"Are we going to stand here all night or are we going to this party?" I ask a bit rudely. Jace snaps out of his little trance and just gulps.

"We're not going." Jace says and I nearly slap his eyebrows off him.

"I mean yet, we're not going just yet. We don't have to be there until 7:30 and it's only 6:45." Jace says and I just sigh. I walk to his car and he follows behind me. Just for the hell of it, I walk a little slower than normal just so Jace can see it all. Once we're in the car and he's biting his lip I know I'm doing a damned good job. 

"So where are we going?" I ask lazily as he starts the car.

"First, I want to say I'm sorry. I forgot to text you and hang out with you. That's all me being stupid. But this is why I'm here now. We're going to hang out before the party." Jace admits. All I wanted was an explanation or an apology at least. I thought I'd be angry, I should just erupt but surprisingly I just smile.

"It's okay, as long as you're trying to make up for it now." I say and Jace lets out a huge breath and smiles. 

"Okay good, by the way you look fucking gorgeous. You are so lucky to have that boyfriend of yours." Jace says and I look at him questioningly. 

"What boyfriend? I'm single." I say. How the hell do I have a boyfriend and not know about it? 

"Haven't you been dating someone? Maeve said she saw you with some guy and Jade said a few days later you were snapchatting her with the same guy. I figured it was just a cousin or something but then I was sent a picture of you kissing the guy on the cheek and his forehead so I figured if you were dating someone I should really keep to myself. I'd be mad if I was dating a girl and one of her friends keeps flirting with her despite knowing I'm with her." Jace explains as he pulls out and drives off.
