A Glow Of Happiness

Chapter 12. William

Here's a new chapter :) Sorry for not posting a lot, I'm doing my mid-terms... I promise to post more often once they are over!

"I can't believe I'm becoming your personal taxi driver," I groan as Isa gets in my car.

"You do realize you're the one who insists on picking me up for every class? You also insist to drop me off after each of them..." she laughs.

I sigh as I start my car and drive off the dorm parking lot. She is right though. It's been two weeks since I drive her around almost everywhere. After what happened at the Halloween party I felt so awful that I wanted to make up for it in some way. We haven't talked about it again though. I don't know if she forgot about it because of how drunk she was, or if she just purposely ignores it, but I still feel bad about it. Plus, it's mid-November now, and it's getting really cold and it would suck for her to walk or wait for the bus. I also really like spending time with her, but that I haven't told her, quite frankly I have a hard time admitting it to myself. I don't know what's going on with me, but ever since her birthday night, I can't seem to keep away from her.

"Why do you have such a big bag?" I ask as I see her carrying a big duffle bag.

"Well instead of going back to the dorm after our class I thought we could head to your apartment since we are going skating tonight with Nick and Aubrey," she explains, "so I brought some clothes to change into and my ice skates."

"Don't bring it to class though, just leave it in my car so you won't have to carry it with you," I say.

She nods, and we stay silent until I park the car in front of a big building.

"I'll come to pick you up once your class is over," I say.

"See you then," she smiles and gets out.

I don't even have a class today, which makes it even more stupid for me to drive her around, but I don't care.

I head out of the gym and make my way to my car. I have 15 minutes until Isa's class is over so I have to hurry up. I start the engine and drive. Once I park my car I see her already waiting for me. She sends me a big smile and gets in the car. She looks at me and gets closer to me. Her nose wrinkle and she shakes her head like a little kid.

"You stink," she laughs.

"I didn't have time to take a shower after the gym, or else you'd have frozen to death waiting for me," I say dramatically.

She laughs lightly before letting herself fall into the seat.

"Let's head to your apartment, I'm starving," she says.

I nod and we are on our way. The drive is silent, but it's comfortable. When we arrive at my apartment building, we make our way to the entrance and take the elevator. When we finally arrive in my apartment, Isa let her huge duffle bag fall on the ground and I run to the bathroom to take a shower. I don't want her saying I stink again. I take a quick shower and I hear noises coming from the kitchen. I'm getting out of the shower when I hear a loud noise coming from the kitchen again, and Isa's scream. What the fuck? I put a towel around my waist and run out to the kitchen. What I see is probably the funniest thing ever. Isa is sitting on the ground with the biggest pout ever as she holds an empty drawer in her arms. Everything that once was in the drawer is sprawled all over the floor. Isa clearly hasn't seen me yet because she's still not moving.

"Did you have a fight with a drawer?" I laugh loudly.

She finally notices me and she snaps her head at me.
