I looked out to see if he would come out of his big ass house and thankfully eventually he did.

"Took you long enough, now let's go." I said speeding up the car.

. . . . .

When we arrived at the volunteering centre, we both began serving out food and every time we'd pass into each other there'd be a touch bit of playful flirting which I of course didn't mind however, it did get me thinking, do i actually want to be with him?

"I mean I don't know but he's nice and he seems to care a lot but I don't wanna let myself...fall?" I said to Mrs Odette.

"Me and Mr Odette had a pretty similar story, he was desperately and annoyingly trying to shoot his shot with me every chance he could until one day, I went out with him. After that I made up my mind and all is history."

"So I should go out with him?"

"Duh, then when you're on that date, think of 5 reasons why he's better than any other guy, then think of how you'd feel if you guys started to date."

"You know what I'm gonna take your advice on that. Thanks Mrs Odette."

"Course sweetie anytime." When she says anytime, that's the part that just leaves me a bit worried because truly, she may not make it tomorrow, she's a strong person yes but the older you get the harder it is to keep on fighting.

As I moved on to the task and person, I heard someone speak through the speaker.

"Everyone please come to the main hall, everyone to the main hall thank you." The main hall.The place of big news? Or when the sad things come out...last time when this happened, it was bad news, someone had died so could it actually happen after not even a month?

"Hello everyone, Mr Rowan has passed away. He had a heart attack and sadly, he didn't make it. A funeral will soon be held for him." Another death really? I looked around trying to find Mason but he was no where to be found in the small crowd, maybe he's in the bathroom? I started to walk away from the crowd to look for him when I saw him getting off his phone.

"Mr Rowan's dead, heart attack. Isn't it weird how these things keep happening around here? I mean jeez a month hasn't passed since the last death, the funeral hasn't even started yet and another persons dead?"

"Well I mean they are pretty old, it makes sense, we all have to go soon."

"Yeah I guess you're right. I saw you on the phone, you looked pretty stressed out."

"Oh that, it's nothing, just an annoying pest from the past." He said pulling me and kissing my forehead. "Have you given any thought to..."

"Yes I'm going on that date with you. Happy?"

"Extraordinarily happy."

. . . . .

When I got home, I started to talk to Blair about the whole thing.

"So Mr Rowan had a heart attack today."

"Omg you see that's why I could actually never ever do your job, how do you deal with those deaths, I get far too attached." Blair commented.

"I don't know it comes with the job and like Mason said they are pretty old so you can't expect forever."

"Where you guys together when the announcement was saiddd?"

"No actually, he was taking a call, he looked pretty annoyed though. I wonder who the person is. He said it's an 'annoying pest from the past' that was a bit odd."

"He's a bit odd for that comment. Why not just get courage and say it was his ex?"

"Woah, you think that's his ex? Really?"

"I mean we'll duh, do you think your ex is a delightful gift sent from the heavens above?" I shook my head at her question. "Exactly, I'm like 101% sure it was an ex. Why don't you check though."

"Um are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?"

"Yep, go through his-"

"I am not going through his phone! I don't know the password and also why would I do that? I'll probably just find something that hey, let me think that I do not want to find?"

"Well you're the funnest person to ever walk this big ass earth."

"I know I am. But here's the deal, I'll do it if I see him doing it again?"

"Ok but if you see him doing it again and say it to me best believe I'm looking through that phone by myself!"

"I'm also going out on a date with him." My sisters jaw immediately dropped.

"Look at you, going on dates, exploring new things and flavourssss. I'm so proud. You will tell me everything after and I will most defo help with that outfit. Before you ask, yes you can borrow some of my clothes."

"That's why you're my fav sister."

"Same goes for you."
