"If that's your attempt of asking me out, then no"

It's been a week since the party and I haven't gone a day without either texting or calling Reece. I find myself smiling at every single message he sends to me. How cringey is that?

He reminds me of Logan... a lot. They're so similar, it's unreal.

Speaking of Logan, it's been weird all week. I mean, we still talk like we usually do and he came round here on Thursday but without all the kissing and stuff, I feel like there's a part of our friendship that's been taken away that sometimes makes things awkward between us.

I didn't realise how much we flirted until now where it feels wrong to do so. But what am I supposed to do? I'm talking to Reece now and I can't go messing him about. I actually want something to come out of this.

Anyway, on a more positive note, I'm meeting up with Reece today. He's supposed to be here any second now.

The knocks at the door moments later make me jump out of my seat in excitement.

"Hey" Reece smiles widely when I answer the door.

"Hey" I respond, stepping outside. "So what's the plan?"

"I was thinking of going to the ice cream parlour and then I want to show you something cool" he tells me.

"Sounds good" I nod, walking over to his car. "What is this?" I gasp.

The car, well, truck, is black and pretty worn down. I actually really like it. It makes a change to a quad bike.

"This is an eighty-nine Nissan pickup truck. It's an antique" he says proudly.

"Yeah, you're not kidding"

"You don't like it?" he gasps, holding his heart as if he's offended.

"I actually do" I chuckle, shaking my head in amusement as I make my way to the passenger seat. "We're not gonna break down halfway there are we?"

"Hilarious" he says sarcastically, slamming the door shut behind him. "In the slight possibility that it will though, you're pushing"

"These hands are not made for manual labour" I raise an eyebrow, flashing my hands at him and receiving a chuckle in response.

"No, we should be safe" he smirks, starting the engine. "Your pretty hands will be fine"

They better be.

We get to the ice cream parlour where I get a whole cup of bubblegum ice cream.

"You enjoying that?" Reece chuckles as we make our way back to his truck.

"Yeah, it's so good" I drool. "As if you didn't get one. You're the one that suggested we go"

"Ice cream isn't my thing" he shrugs and I just roll my eyes. "Besides, I knew you'd want to go there"

"Why?"

"All girls like ice cream" he tells me with confidence.

"That's so stupid" I frown, making him smirk. "So where's this cool place you want to show me?"

"We'll go and see it now, come on" he says, taking hold of my hand and leading me to his car. Oh my god, he's holding my hand.

It takes us 10 minutes to arrive at this 'cool place', and let me tell you... the woods was not what I was expecting.

"Where the hell are we?" I frown in confusion, stepping out of the door and looking around at the trees surrounding us.

"Just come" he chuckles, taking the lead through the woods.
