I wake up on Saturday morning and start getting ready to show Joesph around town. Peter has been acting a bit weird since I've become friends with Joesph it makes me think he's jealous.

Joesph is such a sweet kid. He told me that he loves baking,writing poetry and the beach. He originally from California but moved here because his mom found a better job.

I text Joesph to meet me at a Starbucks that's near the tower. I decide to just walk because it's only a few minutes away.

As I walk into Starbucks I see Joesph sitting at a table scrolling through his phone. I smile and wave to him then I walk over to him.

"Good morning are you ready?" I ask him "Yeah can I get a coffee first I'm so tired" he says putting his phone in his pocket.

"Yeah that's fine" I smile "Do you want anything?" He stands up from his seat "No thank you I already had my coffee this morning" I say sitting across from the spot he just got up from.

He orders his coffee and we start to walk around town. I show him everything in walking distance from the Starbucks.

"I don't know if I told you yet but I love your outfit" he smiles at me "Awe thank you, your hoodie is cute where is it from?" I ask pointing to his Polaroid hoodie.

"Either H&M or Urban outfitters I can't remember which tho" he chuckles we get an Uber to the nearest outlet mall and we start walking around.

We go into various stores then we get froyo before we exit the mall.  For some reason I feel like someone is watching us. His phone dings "Hey I'm sorry I have to go my mom wants me phone. Thank you for showing me around I'll see you on Monday" he says smiling "Bye"I wave to him.

I get an Uber back to the tower.

Once I get home setting my bags in my room. I hear a knock at my window.

I open it knowing exactly who it is "Peter you know you can come through the front door right" I ask as he steps into my room "Yeah yeah" he says.

"So where did you and Joseph go today?" He asks plopping on the bed "Just the mall and froyo" I say sitting next to him.

"Sounds fun why did he leave?" He asks "Ok he had to leave because. Wait I didn't say anything about him leaving. Peter!" I hit his shoulder "I knew someone was watching us!" I say I stand up.

"What the hell? Why were you watching us?" I ask with my arms crossed. He sits there staring at his hands with his legs crossed. He shrugs his shoulders.

"Peter" I say sternly "Look I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was thinking" he says looking up at me.

"Peter I'm being serious you can't just do stuff like that. I respect your privacy and I let you hang out with whoever you want without a second thought" I tell him "I'm sorry" he tells him.

"I know your sorry but you have to promise me you'll never do anything like this ever again. I get that you're jealous but-" "I'm not jealous" he tells me I laugh. "Ok sure whatever but you can't do stuff like that ok?" I ask he nods.

I sit next to him on the bed. He grabs me by my waist and pulls both of us so that we are laying down.

I laugh as he pulls me closer to him. "I'm sorry" he mumbles into my hair "I know" I tell him.

I jump up "Do you want to see my new stuff?" I ask excited. "Sure" he chuckles.

I pull out the bags. The first thing I grab out of the bags is a satin red tank top dress. "Look how pretty this is" I say holding it up "Don't you have that in black?" He asks "Yeah.....but look how pretty the red is" I repeat. "It's very pretty" Peter says and I smile.

I lay the dress on the bed and grab another bag. I pull out a pair of ripped mom jeans and an off the shoulder white blouse. "I feel like this would be cute to wear on a date or something" I tell him then lay it down on the bed.

I pull out my last and final outfit which is just an NYU crewneck and black yoga pants. "I'll only be wearing this at the house but I like the hoodie and I needed some new yoga pants" I say Peter mumbles something.

"Hmm?" I ask "Never mind" he says I shrug it off and put away my clothes and lay back in bed with Peter.

He runs his fingers through my hair. "Do you want to change into something else? That suit doesn't look too comfortable" I say he nods I grab him some sweatpants and a hoodie I borrowed from him.

"I'm going to need to borrow those again after your done wearing them" I say as he comes back into my room from changing he nods and flops down next to me.

He grabs me by my waist and pulls me close to him. He yawns "You tired bub?" I ask he just nods. He places his head in the crook of my neck and starts to fall asleep.

There is a knock on my bedroom door.

"Yes?" I ask as I sit up and Pepper opens the door. "Just wanted to check up on you and make sure you were home" she says "Yup I'm here" is all I say then she closes the door and exits the room.

I walk over to my door and lock it.

I turn around and Peter is passed out. I chuckle to myself kiss his forehead and scroll through my phone.
