But the new guy really loves her, she loves
him but she doesn't trust herself anymore.

"Weren't you supposed to take me to my apartment?" Genéve spoke up as I pulled up into our driveway.

"Yes," slowly my car adjusts to the driveway, parking parallel to the grass.

"Then?"

I take the keys out of the ignition and turn my body towards her, "Then get your cute ass down and come in."

She crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow, "I have to study."

"You can skip a day."

"No I cant, Ethan," she sternly says giving me a glare.

"Please?" I pout my lips slightly, drooping my eyes some to make it look like I was sad.

She sighed before speaking again, "Fine."

We both walked into the house, greeted by the heater. I slammed the door shut and we walked up to my room to watch TV.

I heard the sound of shuffling outside of the room and then the door opened. "Hey E, can you help me study with these fla-" He stopped mid sentence when he saw Genéve sitting in my bed. They both froze as they acknowledged each other's presence. Her right hand began to slightly shake so I grabbed it into mine to calm her down.

"I-I'm sorry," he became incredibly awkward and finally left my room, making sure to close it on the way out.

I turned to Genéve, "Are you okay?"

She sighed a breathe of relief and looked at me, "Yeah I'm fine, I just need to get used to him ya know, since I might stumble upon him again." I nodded at her and turned to the TV, a movie already playing.

"Want to lay with me?"

"I already am," she giggled, her head not turning away from the movie.

"Let me rephrase this," I took a pause, "Want to lay on me?"

She continued to look at the TV, not saying anything or moving for a while. She looks down at my direction then gets up, laying her body against mine. Her head rested on my left peck and her arm wrapped around my stomach. I rested my left arm around her and brought her closer, the sweet smell of her curls filling my nose. My heart began to beat faster every time she moved around but I didn't mind.

Soon, we dozed off, sleeping in each other's arms as movies played on loop. It was a sweet sleep, she clenched onto me and I tightly held her to give her a sense of security. She began to shift in her sleep which woke me as well. Slowly, she got up and it seemed as if she was going to sneak off.

Once she slipped out of my embrace and got off of the bed I spoke, "Where are you going?"

She stopped dead in her tracks and looked at me as if she had just committed a crime, "Home, it's late."

"Exactly, so just come with me here in bed," I patted the space next to me, hoping she would return.

"I'm sorry Ethan but I have to go home to study."

I squinted my eyes, "It's late, remember?"

"I have to go."

I sighed and nodded, "Let me drive you home instead of you walking."

"Okay, thank you."
