Joey’s POV

I looked over at the time. I jumped as I saw that it had been over 30 minutes already and I still haven’t left for Meghan’s. What will she think? I grabbed my keys and before I left I put on Abercrombie Fierce, Meghan’s favorite.

As I drove, I saw a flower shop that was still open. I was drawn to it. I stopped and bought Meghan a nice bouquet of flowers. That what you for friend’s right? You buy them flowers.  It was only the polite thing to do for being late.

I quickly got back in my car and began speeding. I knew it was wrong but I was willing to “break the law” for Meghan. I had to get there as soon as possible.

Meghan’s POV

I looked around the house and started to pick up my things from the floor. I looked over at the time and Joey still wasn’t here. I didn’t know why I was tidying up. Joey had seen me and my worst already. He thought of me like if I was one of the guys.

I heard my doorbell ring and I screeched. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that I was still in my pajamas. This is why Joey sees me like one of the guys. I dress like one. I didn’t have class like any of the other girls Joey hangs with. I sighed and got nervous. The doorbell rang for the second time and I took a deep breath and opened it.

“Hey Meghan” Joey said. “I got you some flowers” he continued. “Flowers? Why?” I asked. I bet Joey never bought any of those girls any flowers before.  

“Well, ugh, I came late so I bought you a gift” he said. He turned red and scratched the back of his head.  I giggled and he smiled. I walked to the kitchen and out the flowers in a vase.  I set them on my dinner table so I can see them every day.

Joey sat on my couch and looked up at me. “Well come on Meghan. Sit down. What are we watching? Amazing Race 24 or 22?” Joey asked. I snapped back into reality. I blushed being caught off guard. Only Joey did that to me.  “Let’s watch 24, episode 3” I said.

Joey’s POV

Episode 3, that’s the episode when Meghan and I got eliminated from the Amazing Race. It was my fault. My fault we got eliminated.  I should have been stronger, faster, and smarter. I should have been more of a man then the sensitive guy Meghan knew.

I turned on the TV and looked on Netflix. I began the episode and Meghan sat next to me. She kept her distance though. I wanted to get closer but that would have been awkward for the both of us. I didn’t even know if Meghan liked me. I didn’t even know if I had feelings for Meghan for than manner.

I saw how happy we were in the race. In that moment, as I watching, I realized that the money didn’t matter. What mattered was having fun with each other and enjoying the time and places that we were lucky enough to visit.

Meghan got closer and leaned on my shoulder. She was getting tired. I looked at the time and it was almost 3. I was watching the race alone. I wasn’t upset though. I was usually upset when I was watched anything alone or was alone at all in fact. Meghan was her though. I had someone.

Meghan was so peaceful when she slept, she was so beautiful. I could feel myself starting to sleep. I tried fighting it but it was no use. I was soon knocked out like a light. I slept holding Megan in my arms, like if I was her guardian, like if I was her protector, like if I was her hero.
