A week had gone passed and it was getting closer and closer to the holidays. Rowland hadn't spoken to or seen Ivy since the night of her Halloween party. Although he had her number and could call her anytime, he just couldn't bring himself to do so. Several times he had rehearsed to himself of what he would call her to say but every time he would tap her phone number, he wouldn't continue the call. Ivy had went back to work and every time she was on air, as before, Rowland would never miss it. He missed her presence and actually wanted to take her out on a real date but was afraid of her rejection. He knew she had just gotten out of a relationship and knew how hard it could be to move on but he couldn't help but to dream.

And sometimes, dreams do come true.

"You have reached the voice mailbox of.." I hung up once again after hearing the automated voice system for the sixth time. LJ had been dodging my calls for an entire week and would only text back one word. Busy.

I don't know what I had done to make her act shady towards me but I was starting to become annoyed with the way she was acting. One thing was for sure, this would be the last time I'd call because I didn't like to chase anyone. When the time was right she'd come around and hopefully then I'll get my answer on why she was acting the way she was. Placing my phone down, I got up from the couch heading over to the easel with the painting I had finished last night still drying. It was a painting of Ivy from Halloween in her costume.

I planned to give this one to her but I needed to see her in order to do so and I couldn't

I planned to give this one to her but I needed to see her in order to do so and I couldn't.. at least not now. I was still embarrassed with the confession I made during Truth or Dare in front of everyone. I'm sure Ivy knew I was interested but to so boldly say it in front of her friends, I couldn't help but think that maybe she was embarrassed too. Not to mention what had happened after that made it even more weird.

Flashback

"I want to thank you for staying after to help me clean. Everyone is just so done for the night." She giggled as she grabbed the last few cups and plates laying around and placing them into the garbage bag I held open for her.
