He leaned in slowly and I gently gripped the jacket that's draped over my shoulder. I pulled away slowly.

“I- I’m sorry I can't” I look away from him and at the ground. He rested his hand on my cheek and made me look at him.

“Its ok im sorry that was really abrupt of me” He smiled softly bringing a smile onto my face.

“Noah dude!” Noah pulled away from me as a friend of his came out of the party.

“come on parties ending it's time to go”

“oh okay umm i'll be there in a second” He said to his friend without breaking eye contact with me.

“thanks for the amazing night Alison” he gave me a cheekish grin before walking through the balcony doors to a group of guys waiting. I stayed outside and watched the amount of peo0le slowly die down. Em came running towards me exceedingly her gold dress bouncing with every step.

“Ali I had so much fun you would not believe!!!” she leaned onto me heavily.

“i think someone spiked the punch” she whispered and giggled.

“ok come one I think you're ready for bed” I said holding her time as i started walking us inside.

“what are you my mom” she groaned.

“Come on Em” she started walking better once we got to the stairs and up to her room. She fell down onto her bed and looked at me as i went and grabbed pjs for jer and me from her drawer.

“where… were you wearing that jacket when you got here?” she pointed at the jacket around my shoulders. I completely forgot about it until now i quickly threw the clothes on the bed and kicked off my heels running down the stairs stopping near the bottom and looming at the living room which was used for the party tonight. I looked around and only a.few stragglers from the party was there bit not the blonde guy from earlier. I sighed and walked back to her room she sat up looming and ke confused.

“a guy from the party gave me his jacket because i was cold and he's not here so i can return it.”

“we'll return it tomorrow” she yawned and layed back down falling asleep in her dress. I sighed and slipped out of the blue dress carefully putting it in her dresser and slipped into pjs crawling into the bed next to her and looking out the window. The trees slowly danced in the wind as fireflies and crickets could be heard in the distance slowly the sounds of the night made me drift into sleep.

“Ali come on time to get up” I was being shaken awake violently by Emily who sat next to me. I groaned and sat up slowly.

“Cosme on breakfast is ready” She said standing up. She had a pair of jeans and a sweater on as she threw her hair into a bun. I slowly stood up and she threw me a summer dress.

“Why a dress” I groaned looking at it.

“It's not my fault you didn't bring clothes.”

“Well it's your fault your a stick” I slipped on the dress and she eagerly pulled me out of her room and down stairs to the dining room.

“Good morning Miss Emily and Miss Alison breakfast is on the table.” One of the cooks said as we entered the room.

“You know Emily if you keep letting your cooks cook for you you'll never be able to make anything.”

“You have a cook to!” She argued.

“Yes but she teaches me how to cook”

“But Alison what's the point of learning to cook if you have one” Emily's mother entered the room sitting at the table.

“Good morning mom” Emily said smiling then digging into her food. I did the same and finished before both of them as they ate slowly.

“So what are you girls doing today?”

“Ali and I have to go drop off someone's jacket they let here yesterday” I choked on my water and had a coughing fit they both stared at my startled.

“What?” I looked at Emily and she smiled innocently then finished eating. She ran up the steps with me close behind.

“Why do we have to do that?”

“Because you need to return it anyways I want to see the hottie that lent you his jacket to save the poor damsel from freezing”

“Grr Em you know how I feel about being seen as a damsel” she giggled and threw me his jacket then slipped on her shoes. Once we got in the car she pulled out her phone looking through her contacts.

“Do you remember his name?”

“No he never told me”

“Ooo mysterious hehe, if he was at the party he is more than likely in my contacts and I have a picture for everyone. What did he look like?”

“Bright blonde hair and I think he had blue eyes.”

“Well I have about three guy here fitting that description”

“If itll help he was a douche” I rolled my eyes at the thoughts of last night.

“Hmm a douche that gave you his jacket” She argued and clicked on a contact

“Zack Hemmings lives about two neighborhoods over” Emily was one of those people that knew about everyone and everyone's lives. My stomach turned slightly for no reason as the car stopped in front of a big black house.

“Go on!” She said smiling.

“What, why can't you come?”

“Because I don't want to” She went on her phone once again and I groaned stepping out of the car and walking up the pebble sidewalk and up to the door. I reluctantly knocked on the door and waited, nothing happens I knock once again and foot steps could be heard through the door. The door opened and my eyes meet no one until i looked down at a little girl about half my side.

“Your pretty” She said smiling, my face lit up with a smile as I bend down to her height.

“Is Zack home?”

“Are you his girlfriend?”

“No” I said smiling.

“I don't believe you… Zack your girlfriends here!!” she said and turned towards in the house yelling. More footsteps came near as I talk guy stood in front of me, He looked nothing like he did the night before. His hair was messed up and covering part of his eyes He looked tired and drunk as he leaned against the door frame.

“You just can't get enough of me can you?” He smiled and moved that hair from his eyes.

“Your jacket” I held out his jacket and he looked at it then me. A smile crossing his lips.

“Keep it”

“This jackets like a hundred dollars.”

“Were all rich aren't we?” He had a point.

“Why do you want me to keep it”

“You looked cute in it” I took a step back shifting my hips.

“I-”

“See you tomorrow” He laughed and gently shut the door but before I left the little girl came back to the door.

“Your totally his girlfriend” She giggled and shut the door and I walked back to the car.

“Was he not home? Emily asked as I got in the car.

“No he told me to keep it” I smiled looking down at the jacket. Emily laughed to herself then signaled the driver to drive me home.

“Oh by the way a guy asked me for your number so I gave it to him.”

“Who?” as I asked my phone went off and I got a text.

Hey its Noah, the guy from last night ">

I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date, I know its sudden and im sorry but I couldn't stop thinking of you last night.

“Oh and who are you textinG me said giggling.

“A guy from last night asked me out on a date”

“Ali you have to do it!!”

“Emily I don't know..”

“Oh come one you never go out on any dates you never flirt with any one, come on, try it”
