Walking up to my dorm room after class, still in disbelief. Unlocking the door I saw Maddie packing up her gym bag. She had just gotten a gym membership and was going frequently when she didn't have work. Stepping into the dorm I smiled shyly swiftly walking into the bathroom.

"Eva...what the fuck are you hiding". Maddie said following me into the bathroom. Swinging the door open I stood still watching Maddie peer into my eyes interrogatively. Smiling sheepishly as she eyed me slowly."Heyyy" I said to her in a high pitched voice. Maddie walked towards me, slowly I licked my lips, Maddie's eyes brightened as if she finally found what she was looking for. "Who did you make out with Eva!" she screamed excitedly. I smiled shrugging of her comment.

"no one", I said taking my makeup wipes to clean off my make up.

"Your lips are all swollen and you smell strange...like... expensive cologne". Maddie said, finally realizing who it was, her mood changed, surely we both knew who we had in mind.

"Your'e joking right?" She said putting her hand on her waist glaring at me.

"Maddie its nothing leave me alone", I saw wiping off my face.

"Tell me your'e joking Eva...stop it, she said pushing my shoulder back to expose my guilty face that I tried to hide.

"Your'e joking because if not... I swear to you Eva!"

"Mads I can explain...just chill".

Maddie put her hand over her mouth disappointedly walking out the bathroom. Following her I tried to explain that it wasn't what she thought it was. "You ran back to him like a needy little girl...don't you understand how damaging that is". "But Maddie...he apologized". I saw fidgeting with the wet towelette I held. I knew she was going to be mad at me, Maddie not only can be very protective but she doesn't believe in apologies.

"Mads it's my life...you get attention from guys, I don't. So the least you can be is supportive of me". Maddie grabbed her keys turning to me. "Getting attention from a guy doesn't equal it being good attention". She left slamming the door behind her. Going to the bathroom to take off the rest of my makeup and wash my face. I had a quick shower before getting ready to see Tom. He had texted me that he was coming and I told him that my friend wasn't home so he could come upstairs to our dorm. Getting the room ready I made both Maddie and I's beds. Putting on mascara and lipgloss and a cute dress that exposed my shoulders and some of my lower back. Taking my perfume and downing the room as well as myself in it. Getting Tom's text that he was down stairs made my heart race. Running downstairs to get him, he wore a black tee with black jeans and brown loafer, this time without his glasses.

"Sorry if it's messy", I say nervously letting him into the room. Tom laughed, ironically the room was not at all messy. The campus dorm rooms were bigger that the average dorm room, because Maddie and I had signed up early and payed extra for the.

"We don't have to stay here", I say turning to Tom.

"I know being a girls dorm isn't really were you wanna spend time in".

"I'm fine Eva, do you think of me as posh or something".

Sitting on the bed to the left, which was mine I slowly crept next to Tom sitting by him. I had to admit I still got nervous around him and the thought of being alone with a bed made my stomach turn. Tom smirking at how anxious I felt. Falling back into the bed landing on my pillows, while I sat backing him at the edge.

" I was thinking we could order food, um I don't really know what you like" I said reaching for my phone.

"I was going to take you out to dinner", playing and pulling on the hem of my dress.

"Eva" he said softly.

Turning to him frantically "yes?"

"Darling, you're barely sitting on the edge of the bed".

"Oh", I smiled bashfully sitting up, I felt Toms hand creep on my waist. Pulling me further up the bed and into his chest.

"You're so tense Eva, comfortable now?"

"Hey Tom".

"Yes"

"This might sound weird but you smell like my Dad" I looked up at him and he looked down at me, chuckling then stopping noticing I was being serious.

He stroked my leg that I placed around his waist.

"Is that a good thing"

"It's not necessarily bad, it's just that I miss him and you smell like him" I whisper.

"Is he dead" Tom said hesitantly.

"No, but he's dead to me".

"Do you want to talk about it". Tom said petting my head.

"No, not really, I shouldn't have brought it up sorry".

"Hey...hey no, you can tell me anything love". He said looking down at me while I looked up at him. Holding my chin he pulled me in softly pecking my lips.

"Theres something about you", I say seizing our kiss.

Tom smiles, slightly confused by my statement. "I get that a lot", he chuckles.

"No, Im serious Tom...like perplexing maybe...never mind". I say cutting myself off.

Tom studied me, putting his finger on my face and slowly tracing along my lips, tucking my hair behind my ear. Playing with my hair, he twirled it around his fingers.

"Wanna go for a ride". He said softly, I nodded.

Taking my hand we walked down the stairs, opening the passenger seat, we started driving to nowhere exactly. Flipping on the car radio we drove into the twilight.
