EVETTE'S P.O.V.

"Good morning, beautiful.."

I smiled as I blush. Toby is standing in front of my house, leaning on his car, waving and smiling at me. He looks like a beautiful painting..

"Good morning, Tob."

He pouted as I get to him. "I've been thinking about this lately.. but, you never call me babe.."

I chuckled. "I never really need to call you that, right?"

Toby rolled his eyes. "Don't you love me?"

"Yes I do, and we'll be late for school. Let's go, darling."

Toby remained frozen while I'm over here, completely red. I can't believe I just called him darling. I could have just said babe or baby.. why darling? It's too old fashioned!

The ride to school was quick and quiet, though Toby and I have held hands all along. I prayed for this happiness for so long.. and now, it's been granted. Thank you for answering my love, Toby.

"Hello, lovebirds." Riley teased as we both get out of Toby's car. There was the other couple, standing beside each other with snickers across their faces.

"Being all lovey-dovey, huh? I'm happy for the both of you.." Yojan cried making the three of us laugh. "But isn't this so great? Evette is back in town and we're all together in the same school again!"

"Yes.. we missed hanging out with you, Eve." Riley adds in.

I smiled. "Thank you. I'm also really happy to be back here.."

Toby suddenly hugs me which surprised me. "I get to be with my baby all day long! Ahhhh!!! I am so happy!!!"

Yojan and Riley laughed as they looked at each other and then back to us. "Yeah.. we get it, Tobes. We really do.."

***

The bell rings and all the students hurried out of the classroom. As for me, I still need to wake up this guy that is sitting next to me. Yojan is on his right, chuckling to herself when she sees Toby sleeping on his desk.

"Let's go home.." I whispered, gently shaking his arm.

"Oh?" He answered, rubbing on his eyes as he looks at me. "Where's Yojan?"

"I'm right here, sleepyhead," I laughed. "Let's go. Riley must be waiting for the three of us now."

Toby stretched his arms out with a groan while Yojan stands by the door of the room. Suddenly, he wrapped an arm around me. "I can drive her home, go to your husband."

Yojan blushed. "He's not my husband!"

Toby smirks. "Just not yet.."

A flushed Yojan left the two of us, laughing as I carried my bag on my shoulder. Toby goes on ahead of me but suddenly takes my hand, filling in the blank spaces in between while looking down at me.

"Don't look at me.."

"Why? I wanna see your face.."

I turned down. He wants to see my face because he knows I'm all red.. Toby just really wants to tease me.

"Where should we go?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Toby pouted, pulling me closer and my hand landed on his hard chest. "Do you really want to go home already?"
