“And by all of this you mean the boat money?” He asks smiling at me awkwardly. I nod and he sighs looking in the far distance. “This is a part of who I am. I want to be in a relationship with you as who I really am and that includes this.” He says looking back at me.

“So are you saying that I need to get used to it or…” I say and he shakes his head.

“It’s not an ultimatum.” He says touching my face softly. “It’s just a fact.” He says and I nod. “A fact that has held me back from truly showing myself to the people I’ve dated in the past.” He adds and I can see regret in his eyes. “My father’s money is the first thing people see when I look at them.” He says and I remember the way I saw him before I knew him.

    “Today I’m the one taking you on a date.” Ryo says smiling at me excitedly. She smiles as we walk into her mother’s plant room. I smile back at her feeling like the luckiest guy alive. The past two weeks have been the best time of my life. I’ve been going on multiple dates and for the first time in my life I’m enjoying dating. I look forward to these dates with her. I always look forward to planning them, the exciting anticipation leading up to the date and the actual dates are always a dream. “I feel like this is turning into a competition.” I say and she turns nodding at me. I laugh because that’s not the point of us having these dates. I look around at the plants feeling so happy. There’s so much magic in this room. I need to convince my parents to create a room like this at the house. I bet it would do wonders for all our moods. Maybe we would get along better. “Oh. It most definitely is. I’m having fun trying to out-plan you on these dates.” She says and I shake my head at her h

    "Why are you looking at me like that?" I say looking at Jameson staring at me. When I asked him to hang out I wasn't thinking of this. We haven't hung out just the two of us in a long time. I was thinking we would meet up, play a few games and have a relaxed drama free morning. I didn't want to talk about my ex. But that's all he's done since he got here.

I try to shake off the anxiety, reminding myself that it's not a crime to talk to someone, but deep down, I know this will be more complicated than that.When I reach my dorm room, I take a deep breath, preparing for the confrontation I know is coming. Just as I turn the doorknob, I hear the unmistakable click of heels behind me.

    It's movie night and every student in the dorms is summoned to come and watch. I would rather be sleeping right now but the headmistress made it clear that we have to be here. The common room is buzzing with excitement. The lights are dimmed, and the scent of popcorn fills the air. Students are chattering as they find seats, some on the couches, others on the floor, creating a cozy, makeshift theater.I choose a quiet corner, my back against the wall and a thick blanket draped over my shoulders. I prefer this spot for its unobtrusiveness, allowing me to watch without being the center of attention. As the opening credits roll, I relaxed slightly, hoping to blend into the background.But my hopes are dashed when Adrian walks in, his presence immediately drawing the attention of the room. He scans the area, his eyes quickly finding me. With a confident stride, he makes his way towards me, carrying a bag of popcorn and two sodas."Mind if I join you?" he asks,

    The sun filters through the café windows, casting a warm glow over the bustling breakfast crowd.

We spot Jameson and Kelly at a cozy corner booth, already settled with cups of steaming coffee and plates of pancakes."Look who finally decided to show up!" Jameson calls out, a wide grin spreading across his face as he waves us over.Oliver laughs, sliding into the booth next to him. "Good morning to you too, Jameson.

    "Forever," I murmur, my lips still tingling from our kiss. Oliver pulls back slightly, his eyes searching mine with an intensity that makes my heart skip a beat. We both laugh, a mixture of relief and joy filling the small space of his car."I have another question," Oliver says, his voice softer now. He glances at his phone, then back at me. "What’s your biggest dream?"I pause, letting the weight of his question settle in. The sunset paints his face in warm hues, making his eyes sparkle. "My biggest dream?" I echo, pondering. "I think it’s to travel the world. To see places I’ve only read about, experience different cultures, and find inspiration in the beauty of our planet. And…" I hesitate, then smile. "To do it with you."Oliver’s face lights up, and he takes my hand, squeezing it gently. "I love that. I want that too." He looks out at the lake, then back at me.

And today is a very special one. "I should say, I think she loves you more than me." He says and I laugh shaking my head disagreeing with him.She was nice to me but she will never feel that way about me."I'm glad you agreed to meet her."

He has this cheesy smile on his face. "I put together a list of questions for us." He says and I get excited. I really missed spending time with him.

    "Do you think this is a good idea?" I ask Oliver when he opens the car door for me. I stare into his eyes hoping he changes his mind. I know I agreed to this but now that we're here I'm not so sure. "Yes, it's a very good idea." He says offering me his hand. "Don't freak out. It's going to be great." Oliver says when he sees my face."What if she doesn't like me?" I ask closing the door. We start walking and my legs feel like jelly below me. "What if I say the wrong thing?" I say and he smiles looking back at me. "You can never say the wrong thing." He says and I groan in frustration. I'm freaking out here and he's not taking me seriously. I don't think I'm ready to meet his family, let alone his mom. I've never met a boyfriend's mom. I was never in a serious relationship where it got to this point. What am I doing here?
