My eyes flung wide open. My phone was ringing again this morning. It was just really cute how he did that but it was 7 AM on a Sunday. I don't need alarm(s) anymore. I have Jace to call me up and wake me every morning.

"You gotta stop doing this." I was smiling and I guess my voice gave it out "You literally wake up earlier so you could wake me up. It's stupid. And you sleep super late. You are so sleep deprived."

"Umm...Allan, Cole here." FUCKKKKKKKKKKK.

"Oh. Fuck. Shit. UGH!" I was embarrassed. Very embarrassed.

"Yeah do your Good Morning Romance with him. He's right here." Cole chuckled.

"Good Morning?" Jace asked.

"Why was Cole on the call? He is gonna wake me up from the next time?" I joked.

"How dressed are you?" He asked.

"Someone's in a mood for some fun huh?" I taunted, the smirk in my voice was clearly evident.

"Dude. No. Just tell me how dressed are you?"

"Well all I have on is some shorts."

"Okay now listen to me." Jace sounded serious.

"Listening?" I tried sounding concerned.

"Get out of bed. Take a quick shower. Wear some jeans and your gray hoodie and wait in your driveway." He was literally ordering. Cute.

"Jace, It's 7:15 AM. Let me fucking sleep." I hope I didn't sound too rude.

"Allan Colebrooks. Baby, shut the fuck up and get out of bed."

"Rude."

"Bye." And he hung up.

He called me baby. That's the only thing I thought about throughout the morning.

I was standing in the driveway. It was cloudy. The wind was strong but not so much. I'd love to get into my blanket and read in such a weather. There was sunlight for a minute and there were clouds for another.

The SUV pulls up in my driveway as I stood there confused. There was Jace driving, Cole in the passenger seat and Nishi in the backseat. What was even happening?

I walk towards the back door of the car but Cole opens his door and gets out of the passenger seat. "Your place sir." He commented.

I settled in the car and gave Jace a look and he just smiled in return.

"Okay. So we are going on a road trip." Jace said.

"I could've finished a whole book dude." I screamt.

Everyone in the car started pointing my fussiness out and it was kinda fun how chaotic it was when everyone was scolding me.

"Okay Okay. Jeez! Y'all would chew me alive. Anyways, where are we going?"

Jace let out a huge sigh. "Charlemont."

"Where this?" Cole asked.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Nishi screamt from the back. She is kinda good with geography so she probably knows where Charlemont is.

"It's fucking NOTHING!" Nishi was pissed. Her morning sleep is the most precious to her.

"There's this Winter Carnival and it's like a really nice one and they are trying it for the first time. It's gonna be fun." Jace calmly justified.

"I really don't care where we are going. I have a lot of Ebooks in my Kindle and a lot more music on my Spotify." I passed a wicked smile.

Jace looked at me and smiled too.

Initially everyone was fine with a two hour and fifteen minutes long ride to Charlemont but Nishi was still pissed like a little baby.

"Allan play some good music." Jace ordered and I plugged in the aux.

I put it on shuffle mode even though Nishi was begging for Harry music. I Like Me Better by Lauv came up first. Both I and Jace looked at each other and smiled.

My exams just got over so now I have winter break. I can upload more chapters now. YIKESSS.

Anyways. Just a little reminder.. don't forget to vote and comment.
