the fourth time you see him,

it's the a week later, you're driving home from your mother's house.

it's pouring rain, and it shows no sign of letting up anytime soon. you see those damn sneakers walking on the sidewalk, he's holding his jacket over his head, he's soaked.

you roll down your window, pulling to the curb he's walking beside.

"need a ride?"

he leans down to look into the car, smiling softly, opening the door handle and climbing in.

"thank you."

he's shivering. you reach and turn the heat on.

"where to?"

"um, well, i actually didn't really have a destination."

his voice is lost, your heart stings.

"how about mine? i can show you that album."

he smiles again, looking over at you.

"sounds like a date."

his voice is sincere, your heart swells.

"it's a date... y'know, it might be beneficial if i knew your name."

"tyler. yours?"

"joshua, but, you can just call me josh."

"i like joshua, it suits you."
