“Not funny,” I muttered. “It’s just that we’re drifting apart.”

“You’re not. You’ve just been busy, that’s all.”

“I guess.”

“It’s okay, he’s not taking any girls home. He doesn’t let a girl inside the room.”

“Really?”

“Really. He keeps them outside. Even when it’s super cold.”

“Oh, that’s my baby,” I yawned.

“You should sleep.”

“I shall,” I smiled with my eyes closed.

“Goodnight,” I heard him say.

“Goodnight Kyle.” I replied and drifted off to sleep.

“It’s approved!” Jeremy screamed out to me when we got back to the office.

“How would you know?!” I asked him, wide-eyed. I was very nervous throughout the whole thing. It was my first time that I actually made the proposal report AND the presentation.

“They just called in 3 seconds ago!” he screamed at me and gave me a hug.

“Oh my fuuuu,” I paused and looked at my mom. “uuuudgeeeee.” I finished and grinned at her. She raised an eyebrow at me and chuckled.

“Come to my office,” she said. “Both of you,” she finished and walked into her office.

“Yes?” I asked when we closed the door.

“Congratulations,” she smiled at me. “I’m proud of you and thank you for doing this.”

“Not like I had a choice,” I sighed.

“Anyways,” she started, ignoring what I just said. “Since you had part of this, you will have 30 percent of the profits,” she said to me.

“Whoa, damn,” I mumbled.

She shrugged. “It’s basically yours. 20 perfect go to the stock holders and the other 50 goes to the company,” she shrugged.

“Okay.”

“You may leave, thank you,” she said and dismissed Jeremy and I. We looked at each other and awkwardly made our way out.

“That was weird,” he said.

“I know.”

“So, wanna go for coffee?”

“Totally,” I smiled and we got dressed in regular clothes, but I left my shoes on since I wanted to feel tall, because compared to Jeremy’s 5’10 frame, I felt short. But Ryan was roughly 6’1, but I didn’t mind, why’s that? I shook my head. Don’t think about him!

“Oh fuck,” I muttered and grabbed my phone. I dialed my number one speed dial.

“Yeah?”

“You don’t seem too happy to hear from me,” I teased.

“Oh, hey baby, sorry, I thought you were one of the guys,” he chuckled.

“It’s okay, but! Guess what?!” I screamed to the phone.

“What?”

“It got approved!” I squealed.

“Oh my gosh, that’s so awesome babe, I’m proud of you,” I could hear him smile.

“ Face time me,” I said to him.

“Okay,” he said and I pulled my phone from my ear and watched my screen turn to the sight of him.

“Man, your face makes my day,” I smiled into the camera.

“Your smile makes my day,” he winked at me.

“Oh stop, you’re making me blush,” I chuckled.

“I live to make you blush,” he smirked at me.

“You’re dumb. Anyways, Jeremy and I are gonna go get something to drink and eat, then I’ll fly home once we’re done, kay?”

“Okay, call me when you board so I’d know when to pick you up.”

“No, I might come in late already, I’ll just take a cab or something.”

“A cab? Really? No,” he frowned.

“Baby,” I whined.

“No, you’re not taking a cab. Who knows what could happen!” he argued.

“Fine,” I pouted.

“Don’t give me that pout. It makes me miss you and your lips,” he frowned.

I pouted even more. “Come over here then,” I smiled.

“I would, but I have practice in a few minutes,” he said. “Call me when you board or when you arrive in Chicago or something,” he said getting distracted.

“Okay baby, I love you, bye,” I said. He just smiled at me and ended the call. What. The. Fuck
     

 
Down the Hill
    It’s been a few months since school started. Everything I guess is, okay.

You Lie

Okay fine, maybe not so okay. Ryan and I barely had time with each other.
