"It's you" She announced softly

"So I did do something?" I asked thinking back, trying to figure out what exactly.

"You're doing everything right" She confessed leaving realization to stand in my mind.

"And that scares you?" I asked but it sounded more like a statement, nonetheless, she still gave me a small nod to confirm my words.

"What's your fear when it comes to us?" I asked softly.

"That you'll hurt me, lie, cheat, change" She replied her voice small and I could tell each word she said held a memory.

"I won't, and I know that's hard for you to believe because of past experiences but I'll prove it, we can move at whatever pace you want to,"

Riptide

I drove off turning off my ceiling lights in the process, as my mind traveled back to the date I had with Brittany the other night, a smile greeting my face. 


My mind was completely engaged the entire time and I felt as if I could be myself around her without judgment. 


My phone rang and I sighed reaching over to the passenger seat grabbing it before doing a quick glance at the screen. 


A grin appearing on my face as my eyes met the caller ID and I answered it quickly before putting the phone to my ear. 


"Hey, what's up?" I asked trying to play it as cool as possible, suppressing the happiness I felt from her call, my thoughts and actions were starting to become similar to a lovesick teenager. 


"Hey, do you want to come over?" she asked immediately, her question leaving both surprised and confused as I glanced at the time to see 11:06 p.m.
