"Zion?" I ask while walking in to the kitchen.

He turns around from the fridge and looks at me, "Yea? What's up?"

"I'm sorry," I say quietly.

He shuts the fridge and looks at me with confusion all over his face, "Sorry for what?"

"For being a bitch to you. I know I shouldn't have acted that way. You are just doing what you were told to do and I shouldn't have been so rude to you."

He smiles lightly, "It's okay, Caitlyn. I understand that everything is very stressful for you and you are scared."

I don't like to admit it, but I am scared. I'm terrified actually. I have no clue what could happen. Anything could happen and it's scary as hell.

"Thank you for understanding."

He nods his head and then I go to the fridge to grab a water bottle. "So do you maybe uh want to go out tomorrow? To get to know each other more. Since you will be living with us?"

I smile. He's so cute when he is nervous, "I would love to. Where at?"

"Well going out last night was probably a bad idea. We shouldn't go out in public much, so I'll figure something out for us to do."

"Okay," I say. "I'm going to bed now. Goodnight, Kuwonu."

He chuckles, "Goodnight, Caitlyn."

I'm glad that I said sorry to him. It was really making me feel guilty and bitchy. I don't want to act like that. They are all I have right now and I can't fuck that up.

[The next night- 9:30 PM]

"Zion! What the hell do I wear?"

He walks into his room and chuckles, "It doesn't matter. As long as you have clothes on."

I roll my eyes, "No shit, but does it need to be fancy? Comfy? Lazy?"

"You girls are so fucking difficult." This is what I'm wearing. He point to his outfit. He has on a red hoodie and a pair of basketball shorts. Oh, sweet. We are going comfy.

"That's comfy," I confirm. "Easy enough."

He chuckles, "Just hurry up."

"Remind me again why we are going out so late?" I ask.

"You are nosy," he says. "You will just have to wait and see."

I roll my eyes, "Whatever. Now get out so I can change."

He leaves the room and I change into a black hoodie and a pair of black spandex. Black definitely is my color. I put my hair down and I grab my phone. I walk out of Zion's room and I go downstairs.

"You ready?" He asks while looking up from his phone.

I nod my head and we walk out the door together. We get into the car and he starts to drive off. "How long does it take to get there?"

He smirks, "It's just down the road. It doesn't take long at all."

"So why keep it a surprise the whole time?" I ask. "I do live around here, so I know places."

"Well if you are so smart then where do you think we are going?"

"Uh, food?" I ask.

He laughs, "I said we wouldn't be much in public. I thought you lived around here." He mocks me.

I roll my eyes, "You are childish."

"I think that would be you," he says.

He pulls up into a parking lot and parks the car. He wasn't lying when he said it wasn't a long drive. We get out of the car and I start to follow him.
