"Lena!" I laugh. "Stop it!"

"I want to know everything!"

"I already told you!"

"I want to hear it again!"

"Why don't you spend some time with your girlfriend, huh?"

"Yeah!" Steph calls. "Pay attention to me!"

"See!" I urge. "Leave me alone."

"Aww, is someone jealous?" Lena teases, turning back to her girlfriend. She's laying on the couch, cuddled beneath a blanket.

As promised, Lena and Steph were waiting up when we arrived home. Tyler went straight to his room so he didn't have to deal with them, and I don't blame him. They made me detail every little thing. He probably heard us giggling all night.

I kept most of the personal stuff to myself, but I still shared a lot. The good and the bad.

If Steph and Lena weren't there, I probably would've spent all night with Tyler. But it's good I didn't. We should take it slow. We're only dating. It's not official or anything.

"Come shop with us," Steph calls. "Urban Outfitters is having a sale."

"I can't," I pout. "I have to study."

"Screw that," Lena scoffs. "Shopping is way more important."

"I wish I could join you."

"If I see anything good, I'll save it for you, okay?"

"Don't bother," I snicker. "I can't afford to buy anything right now."

"Shit, really?"

I nod. "I need to start looking for a job."

"They're hiring at the grocery store," Steph tells me. "You should apply there."

"Yeah!" Lena calls. "You could be a cute little check out chick."

"Maybe," I laugh. "I'll look into it, but I really need to study now."

"Well, you're no fun," Steph complains. The two girls slump back into the couch, cuddling up beside each other. They're watching some Netflix film I haven't seen before. And I don't plan to. They keep commenting about how boring it is.

I return my attention back the books before me, reading a paragraph on photosynthesis. But it's so hard to concentrate when all I can think about is Tyler. I can't get over how great last night was. I want to see him again, so badly, but he's probably still asleep, or at the gym. I'm not going to knock on his door. I want things to go naturally.

AS if on cue, I hear a door open. I hope it's Tyler, but the person who enters the kitchen is Owen. He turns the corner with his hands in his pockets and his hair a mess.

"Morning," he smiles. "What are you girls up to?"

"Waiting for Sarah to tell us about her date!" Steph calls.

"I already told you everything!" I respond.

"We want to hear it again!"

"Yeah?" Owen asks. "How was it?"

"It was so cute!" Lena gushes.

"Shush!" Steph scolds. "Let Sarah respond."

I laugh at the two of them, but Owen just shakes his head in amusement. He pours himself a cup of coffee, and joins me at the breakfast bar.
