Hold Tight |Jason McCann|

Chapter Sixteen

| Savanna |

I had a quick shower because I knew I was running late for college and I knew if I took my time and pretended I was in a music video, I was going to miss a whole class. I dried my hair as best as I could, it was thick so it took me extra long to blow dry it completely and since I didn't have the time, I'd have to settle with my natural waves and a little dampness.

I wore Jason's Off White sweatshirt that he was wearing yesterday which only made me want to wear it more because it smelt so strongly off him. I wore a pair of black leggings and pulled on a pair of black slip on vans before I grabbed my books and my phone before leaving, seeing a message from Sasha to say that she was outside waiting.

You may think I exploited my friends off of their cars but I trust me, I drove mine a lot too, it was just that she and I had the same class and she happened to have gotten me a Starbucks so to save it from tasting odd, it only felt right that I drank it right away.

I made my way downstairs to hear voices coming from the kitchen and so as I entered I saw Jason's friends as well as Jason and one other person who I wasn't familiar with.

"Hey Savanna" Khalil sang as I approached Jason.

"Hi" I laughed at how he and Za were now dancing in the middle of the kitchen.

"You haven't had breakfast" Jason spoke as the rest got lost in their own conversation. "I know but we kinda woke up late and now I have to go" I told him referring to last night.

"So be late" He answered shrugging making me laugh.

I reached up and kissed his lips, "I'll see you later, I love you" I muttered as he looked in to my eyes, admiration in his. He kissed my forehead before muttering the same words but they always sounded better when he said it before I turned to leave.

"Bye girl! Have an awesome day!" Za yelled making me laugh, "Bye guys" I answered and with that I left the kitchen.

I got in to Sasha's car to which I was quick to grab the iced coffee from the drinks holder. "You're wearing Jason's sweatshirt, you definitely fucked last night" She announced making me shove her.

"Just drive" I said laughing before she turned on the engine and drove away from my house.

It was almost like the day was ending too quickly, with too many classes and a lot of content in my brain, I wanted it to pause just so I could take a break. As I walked with the girls, my phone began ringing and once I saw the caller ID, I was quick to answer it seeing it was Jason.

"Hi" I answered, a smile to my face.

"Hey baby girl" He responded.

"Is everything okay?" I asked, he never really called me and when he did it was a quick update on something. "Mhm, I just wanted to let you know that imma be taking you out tonight... it's been a while since I seen my girl dressed up" He continued and instantly my smile widened.

Finally, a date.

"Are you asking me out?" I joked hearing him chuckle.

"This ain't me asking sweetheart, you mine already every night"

Smooth.

"I left some bags in your room, you gotta wear it tonight. Imma be picking you up at 7 and if you still curling your lashes you're eating at home" He said making me laugh. I was going to my moms house after college since I hadn't seen her since she got back from her trip to Cabo so he was probably referring to my room at back at my other house.

"You smiling hard right now eh?" He asked making me laugh as the girls shoved me probably because I was blushing like an idiot.

"Okay, I'll see you later then"
