Bryce and I were sitting in his car just vibing to the music.
"You're so beautiful Cleo, I know we just met but..."
I cut him off.
"Bryce, I like you a lot and I might have feelings for you but the school year hasn't even started yet and I need to focus on school and sports. I still want us to hangout but can we save the romance for later, please,"
He sat in silence, "I- I can respect that. I just hope it's that way with all guys," he mumbled the last part.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Nothing," he sighed.
+
We drove back and he dropped me off.
"Bye," I waved.
"Bye Cleo, have a goodnight,"
"You too," I called as he pulled away.
Ugh, this cannot be happening already.
I just need a good night of sleep, 1 more day until classes.
I need to get my head in the game.
I was about to open the door but stopped when I heard singing.
Tayler was singing a song I'd never heard before.
I quietly opened the door praying he wouldn't notice.
I stood in the doorway listening.
A/N: the actual song is actually Invitation by Why Don't We

I need a little casual conversation, girl, with you And you ain't gotta worry 'bout a thing no more 'Cause baby, I got the keys for us How about I pick you up at 9? Meet me outside, baby, it's a vibe Roll down the windows, we can fly I can see the stars, baby, in your eyes
+
He stopped singing and turned around.
"Spying on me?" he smirked and put down his guitar.
"Um, no I-I was just about to get ready for bed."
I walked to the bathroom.
"Why is he so damn hot?" I whispered to myself.
I took off my makeup and got into the shower.
I started to hum to the rhythm of the song he was singing.
"So, you like your song?"
"Dude!" I covered my body even though he couldn't see me clearly.
"Don't flatter yourself,"
"Can I help you?"
"No, just doing a face mask. You can do one once you're done,"
"Can you do that in the other room?"
"And miss out on the best mirror ever?"
I turned off the shower and grabbed a towel.
"Peel off or sheet?"
"Peel,"
"Pass me the mask,"
+
"So how was your day with Bryce?"
"Great, I just need to vent but my friend isn't picking up the phone,"
"I can listen, two working ears right here," he pointed to his ears.
"It's just, I came here to focus on school and field hockey. Today Bryce told me that he has feelings for me but I had to turn him down and I feel so bad,"
"What did you say to him?"
"I just told him that I'm not ready or a relationship right now,"
Tayler's Pov
Bryce is seriously trying to mess with my plan but one thing he lacks is the chemistry.
"Well, I have in idea to get your mind off of that. Tomorrow, you and I are going driving"
"I'm down,"
My alarm went off so we peeled off our masks.
+
"You missed some," I peeled a little off her face but let my fingers linger on her face.
She has super soft skin.
I looked into her eyes and put a piece of hair behind her ear.
My other hand snaked onto her hip.

"Tayler, I-I"
"Can't what?"
"This, we can't do this. I just turned down your friend, you heard what I said about relationships,"
"Then how about we do this with no strings attached?"
"I'd rather not," she moved my hands off her body.
She walked to her desk and got onto her laptop.
Why is she difficult, this could be over so quickly if she wasn't so ugh!
No matter, if tomorrow goes accordingly, then I'll be good as gold.
+
I can't sleep so I get out my journal.
As childish as it sounds, it really helps me clear my thoughts.
This entry would be the third entry written about Cleo.
