"Call me when you land ok?" I cross my arms tighter over my chest. I am currently standing outside only in a hoodie and shorts. Also it's snowing,

"I will." He mods.

"Bye Jase." I wrap my arms around his tall frame.

"Bye Novocaine," he chuckles.

"Stop calling me that." I punch him in the arm. "Or I'm gonna have to start calling you Jasey-bear." He glares at me.

"Fine, Nova it is." He hugs me one last time. He goes into the cab and Jase rolls down the window.

"Last chance." He smiles.

"Don't worry, I'll still visit you. My journey is only beginning." I smile.

"Bye Nova." He gives me a weak smile.

"Bye Jase." I lean in and kiss his cheek.

The cab drives off over the hill.

I grab my phone from the counter to see if there are any missed calls. No calls but I do have a text from Alex.

ALEX: Hey call me. I want to see you ;) XO

Nova: Can I come over now?

Alex: Yeah that's fine I'm off all day.

Nova: Awesome. fair warning I'm wearing sweats because I'm so comfy.

Alex: Hurry up and get your cute little arse over here ;) Xo

I grab a pair of sweatpants to wear over my running shorts.

"Lara!" I yell. "I'm going over to Alex's house ."

I walk the short block to his house. It's gotten chillier since I was last outside; I stuff my hands inside my hoodie's pocket.

January 1, a new year. I plan on making this year special and extraordinary. I shall live every day to the fullest. YOLO! Oh my gosh, did I just say that? Sorry it must've been all the cookies I have eaten this past week.

I'm knock on the door, a second later Alex swings open the door.

"Hey," I smile.

"Don't hey me," he rolls his eyes,

"Wait what?" He grabs my waist, and pulls me closer to him.

"Instead of saying hey, just kiss me." He leans forward and kisses me but the second later I pull apart.

"Can you can see kiss me inside, my butt is freezing?" I shiver.

"How is this?" He places his hands on my butt and then kisses me again.

"Better?" He mumbles against my lips.

I pull away from him and walk inside his house.

"You only did that so you could touch my but.." Alex smirks. I plop myself on his couch and kick off my shoes.

"Comfortable?" He laughs.

"Oh very." He walks over to me and picks me up, under his arms and sets me on his lap. Did it just get hot in here?

"So do I have to do the whole juvenile thing where I ask you to be my girlfriend, or can I just assume?'' He smiles.

"Already defining the relationship, you work fast." I try and hide smile.

"What can I say," he jokes and shrugs his shoulders. "So?" He smiles.

"I've never had a boyfriend before." I say quietly.
