CAUGHT UP

50.

"Yes?"

"When did we start using labels?"

"Well that's what I am to you, right?" I said and he shakes his head.

"I don't do titles"

"I don't know what that means" I said.

"I'm going to go" Dylan said and I shake my head.

"Dylan... are we or are we not together?"

"I don't know Josephina..." he says and I stare at him. My mouth opens as I was about to say something then it closes again. "I just have a lot on my plate right now and I know once we start using labels, you're going to expect things from me. I told you Jo, I don't know this relationship shit"

"That's why I said we will take it slow"

"I just have a lot going on right now. Okay?"

"Like what?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"Josephina. If you are worried about me being with other girls, don't. I only look at you"

"Why do you say things like that then not expect me to think we're dating?"

"I just feel like we should sit down and talk about it" he says and I stare at him. He actually wants to sit down and talk? What is there to talk about? I can't argue with him because when does Dylan ever say let's sit down and talk?

"Fine..."

"Good" he said coming up to me and kissing my forehead. "I want to tell you everything"

"Now?" I said and he looks at me confused. "Dylan... I can't talk about it now... I have to go to class" I said and he rolls his eyes.

"Fine, can we talk after your class?"

"Dylan... I have a dinner with my parents tonight and I was wondering if you would come?"

"Tonight?" he said.

"Yea, it's like a celebration dinner for me and I would like it if you were there" I say and I see him clench his jaw.

"I just need to talk to you Jo"

"Okay we will, and you're coming tonight right?"

"Sure?" he says and I smile.

"Okay good" I said stepping up to kiss him. Dylan didn't offer to take me to class today and I just figured he was really busy that's all. What the hell was so important he has to tell me? I was coming out of my government studies class when Sawyer and Naomi waited for me and I smile at them.

"How was class?" Sawyer ask.

"Boring as usual" I said and they laugh.

"So my mom already texted me, I'm excited for dinner" Sawyer says and I look at her.

"Your parents are coming too?" I ask.

"Yea, your mom invited them" she smiles.

"Well that's nice!" I said

"Do you think I can bring Viola?" Naomi ask.

"Of course and tell her to invite Cole too. I think it'll be great to have him there so Dylan wouldn't feel awkward" I said.

"Speaking of Dylan... is he okay? Did he get shot or something?" Naomi laughs. I didn't think it was funny because Vince doesn't look like a nice guy.

"He's fine. I saw him this morning"

"So that whole situation from yesterday?"

"He hasn't said anything so I'm assuming it's fine" I said.
