Jack's POV:

I've been staying at my parents house so I can spend more time with Cecilia. Call me crazy, but I'm deeply falling for this girl. Today, I wake Cecelia up super early; we are going on a little outing today, just the two of us. She doesn't know that she has to go to court in 2 days, so I figured I'd break it to her easily. She isn't happy with me at all about being up, but she looks so cute when she's grumpy. As she gets ready I promise to buy her coffee, she grunts for a reply. She must hate me right now, but it's only 7 in the morning, If I'm saying that then that's saying something.

I walk into Starbucks and order our coffees while she sits in the car and listens to music or something. I'm not quite too sure what girls do in the car when they are by themselves. I go to walk out with the coffees in hand before someone notices me.

"Jack?" I look to see Jenna, the girl I had a one night stand with a few months back. What the hell is she doing in New York?

"Uh, hi Jenna." I say awkwardly. I really just want to leave and get on with our day. That night was a huge mistake, I've never regretted anything that bad in my life.

"You never called me." She pouts her lip out. I feel sick just talking to her. Maybe I never called is because I have feeling for the best girl in the world, who isn't a tramp. I wish I could say that instead if what I actually said.

"Sorry about that I-" I completely pull something out of my ass. "I have a girlfriend now." I say nonchalantly.

"What, that under aged city slicker girl sitting out in your car? You call that a girlfriend? She doesn't know what a man needs." This conversation takes a sudden turn. I will not stand to hear her talk about Cece like this. Not to mention she knows I'm with her. Am I being stalked? I go to tell her off, but Cece speaks up, startling me.

"Hey sweetie." She walks over to me from walking through the door. She had to of heard what she said. She kisses me hard on the lips, then returns to look at her. I hand her the iced coffee and slip my arm around her waist. "And for the record, I'm not under aged. Secondly, yeah I'm his girlfriend, fucking deal with it. Sorry I don't whore around like you do to know what pleases every type of man. Have a nice day Jenna." With that we leave the coffee shop and out to the car.

"So my girlfriend?" I ask, winking at her.

"You wish." She says sticking out her pink little tongue, then takes a sip of her coffee. Damn she's so adorable. If only she knew just how much I really do wish she was my girlfriend. I haven't even asked her on a proper date, we just kind of go out as friends. But, friends don't hold hands in public, or kiss. What is even between us? I'm not complaining though, it is nice to have someone, even if they aren't officially yours; yet.

Cecilia's POV:

"Jack where are we goiiinggggg?" I groan in boredom. He's had me in the car for about 3 hours, I can't take sitting this long. That's what sucks about ADHD, you can never sit still for hours on end, even if you are on medication.

"You'll see." He says with a smirk.

"You said that over an hour agooooo." I whin. He places him hand on mine, attempting to slot his fingers with mine. I obliged, still irritated with him, but he can be so fricking adorable.

"You'll survive." He says laughing. I just groan in response, there is no use, I'm not going to win this one. I mess around with the radio, not wanting to listen to the pop stations or the opera ones. I find a classic rock station and let it be, then start to play 2048. This game is so addicting, I can play it for hours. Cudos to whoever made this addicting game.
