tell you what. You decide and text me.”
     
    I know this is not a date but it seems as if I may have broken down one of her walls or barriers. I couldn’t be happier right now.
     
    “ Ok, will do,” I said as I pulled up to the curb of her drop off point. She leans over and gives me a hug. I want to squeeze her and never let go, but I have to.
     
    “ I’ll see you later. Don’t forget to text me.”
     
    She raises her eyebrows at me, which was the cutest thing.
    “ Don’t worry, I won’t,” I said and I start driving off.
     
    How could I forget? This is something I’ve been waiting for. I drive home with nothing but Serena and our “date” clouding my brain. I have to figure out where to take her. I want to try to make this somewhat romantic because this may be my only chance to break down her other walls and claim her as mine. I turn the music on full blast, because I am just feeling that much happier. My excitement at full speed as I am anticipating this night.

Chapter 5
     
    Serena
     
    I walk the half block to Larissa’s anticipating what Aiden will come up with. I’ve really grown close to him, especially with what happened last night. No guy has ever treated me like that, been a gentleman, opened doors for me, let alone let me sleep in their bed while they roomed on the floor. No guy has ever saved me and cared enough to sit there with me until I wake up. He is a whole new species, one I’m especially not used to. After last night, I can’t help the anticipation of getting to know him more.
    I walk up to Larissa’s house dressed in Aiden’s clothes. It really just looks like I’m just bumming around in sweats. I knock on her door and a minute later she opens up.
     
    “ Well, well, well. Look at you! You got some didn’t you?” She winks at me.
     
    “ No it’s nothing like that. Since my clothes were kind of ripped and had vomit on it, Aiden told me to wear his clothes.” I knew she was going to think that since I am wearing his clothes.
     
    “ So what happened? Did you sleep in his bed with him?” She asked very suggestively.
     
    “ No. He was a true gentleman. He let me sleep in his bed and he slept on the floor. He even made breakfast this morning….well, I finished the breakfast otherwise he would have burned it.”
     
    As soon as I said that, Larissa started busting out laughing.
     
    “ I’m surprised he let you finish after your baking fiasco.”
     
    She will always bring that up. Larissa and Aiden always tease me about that. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget it as long as I’m friends with them. They will never let it go. But it is funny in a way.
     
    “ Well whatever. I made the French toast perfectly.” I stuck my tongue out at her.
     
    “ Of course. Anyone can make French toast. All you have to do it put it in the pan and flip. What’s so hard about that? Oh, that’s right. That’s all you had to do with the cookies and you burned that.”
     
    She leans over laughing in hysterics. I’m glad she finds this so funny. I have to find something to get back at her.
     
    “ HAHA very funny.” I said with a fake laugh. “Anyways, I need some clothes. I can’t go home wearing Aiden’s clothes otherwise my mom will think something’s up.”
     
    “ Yeah, sure. I’m sure I have some of your clothes lying around here somewhere.”
     
    She starts browsing her closet and comes out with a pink V-neck sweater and a pair of jeans. She tosses it to me. I look at the jeans and realize these are my favorite jeans that I have been looking everywhere for.
     
    “ You have my favorite jeans? What the hell? I’ve been looking everywhere for these. Are you stealing clothes from my house now?” I asked not really meaning it, just messing with her.
     
    “ You let me borrow them and you forgot about them. I’m not going to remind you when those jeans look amazing on me,” she teased.
     
    “ Well I’m glad to have them back now.” I start changing the
