:=:Your POV:=:

Hayden bailed Laurence out, and now we wait to see if Garte drops the charges or not.

I was laying in my bed, when I got a text off Gene.

G- Yo, where are you?

Y- Home. Why?

G- We have a study session today, remember?

Y- Shit, I'll be there soon.

I jumped out of bed and changed into some clothes;

I knocked on Laurence's door and he looked up from his phone.
"What's up?" He asked.
"I'm heading to the cafe, this is my last study session with Gene," I smiled.
"Oh, well be back before dark. If you're gonna be late, text me," Laurence said.

I smiled and walked away, Lyla and Cadenza were out and Hayden had to go back to Scaleswind so it was just Laurence and myself. Well, now it's just Laurence.

"Okay so take the 12 and replace the x, then take the 6 and replace the y, and simplify the fraction," I explained.

It was the last problem and once Gene finished, we got coffee and hung out at the park. We sat on a bench and were laughing and joking around.

I smiled at him, "I don't get you."
"What do you mean?" Gene asked.
"Why don't you let people see the good in you?" I asked.
Gene paused and looked down a bit, "Because when people see good, they expect good..." he took a long pause, "And I don't wanna have to live up to anyone's expectations..."

I looked at him, "Well... I don't expect anything from you. Besides the money you owe me."
Gene laughed and pulled out the money, handing it to me, "I appreciate you."
I smiled softly, "Thank you..."

A cold breeze blew through and I kinda shivered, without knowledge that I moved closer to Gene. I looked up at him and he looked down at me. We sat there silent, when he slowly leaned down...

And kissed me...

I was a bit shocked at first, but melted into the kiss, and I held his face, deepening the kiss.

I don't know what it was about him, whether it be a bad boy charm or the fact that there's a side to him that no one knows.

He slowly pulled away and I just hugged him, my face in his chest. He was so warm and smelled good. We both sat there silently, when we both got text messages.

I looked at my phone to see it was Lyla, "Who's is yours from?" I asked.
"Sasha and Zenix... We were supposed to meet at the old barn."
"Lyla texted, asking when I was going to be home," I said.

We pulled apart from each other, and it instantly got cold. Gene took off his jacket and put it around me.
"I'll text you, Okay?" Gene smiled.
I smiled back and we both walked away from each other...

What a magical day...

"I'm home!" I shouted as I entered the house.
"Where were you?" Lyla asked.
"With Gene," I said.
Lyla smirked and wiggled her eyebrows at me, "Oh, Gene huh?"
I smiled, "Shut up."
"So maybe there's a side to Gene that only you get to know," Lyla smiled.
"What do you want?" I asked, changing the subject.
"Oh! I got you something," Lyla said.

She led me up to my room and opened the door, at first I didn't see anything but I looked around and noticed that there was something on my bed. A somewhat big box.

"What is that?" I asked.
"Open it!" Lyla smiled.

I opened the box slowly, and out popped a small Siamese kitten.

"Oh my Irene!" I smiled.
"Dad said to get you something to make you feel at home, and for as long as I've known you, you've always wanted a Siamese cat. But he's a Siamese, Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat," Lyla explained.
"That is going to be a very large cat!" I said.
"Well he's cute so, what do you wanna name him?" Lyla asked.

I picked up the small kitten, and smiled, "Charlie."

Here's an actual pic of my cat Charlie, he isn't Maine coon or Norwegian but he's just a Siamese.

"Awww! So cute!" Lyla smiled.

I smiled and set the cat on the bed, he immediately fell asleep.

I laid next to him and stared at my ceiling for awhile... When I realized something...

I kissed Gene...
