Taylor pulled over beside a tall building. The building was painted in cream color, laced with red along the swollen parts. A sign was nailed on top of the grass green color reading 'La Luxurious'. Riley narrowed her eyes at a pair of couple entering the cafe. The girl was wearing a short mini skirt and high, white boots. She was clinging to the man beside her who grinned like he had struck the jackpot. Well, he had. He's gonna get some fine night, Riley thought. She looked up at Taylor who was making a call.

They were still inside the car.

Riley stared at Taylor. She admired his perfect face and she had the urge to run her fingers through his hair, which looks really tempting.

"Ana?" she snapped out from her fantasy. She saw Taylor glancing at the building once in a while and wondered who was he calling. He called her 'Ana', which means that it was a girl. Riley couldn't help but feel a little bit curious, not jealous, because Taylor had called Ana in front of her, so it's not cheating.

"Yeah, I'm outside. Can I come in? ..Ah, okay. I got it, thanks." The blonde hung up and smiled at Riley. Riley had to pinch herself again to make sure she wasn't dreaming. That Taylor was indeed smiling at her and her alone. She smiled back nervously.

"Ah...who was that?" she blurted out. "I-I didn't mean to eavesdrop! It's just that--"

Taylor chuckled at her figdeting.

"It's my close friend. She runs this cafe and I was just calling her to tell her about my arrival. It's kind of a habit," he shrugged.

"I see..." Riley felt a little bit foolish at her rash question just now. Taylor would start to think that she's clingy and he would get bored of her soon.  

"So! Shall we go?" Taylor smiled at Riley again. 

Beaming, the brown haired girl nodded and they got out from the car. Riley couldn't help but feel nervous since it's their first date. Her  first date. All her eighteen years of living, Riley had never dated anyone. She was a loner, always burying her face in her iPod, and dancing in her own little fantasy world. Carmen, her best friend, had dated for two times in this year. Riley had to shun away the feelings of jealousy and reminded herself why she couldn't find a boyfriend. It was her distant attitude that made the boys look away. She couldn't care less about their view on her, because she had already set eyes on Taylor Wells. Since her first day in the college, she had already find the older boy attractive. She likes the way he brings himself, no masks, no disguise.

To her, he was her dream type.

Riley glanced at Taylor as they walked in the cafe. She wondered how will the girls in her college react when they knew about this. Will they go beserk? Attack her and bully her, or ditch her because she's dating one of the most popular jock in college? Or will they treat her nice and finally acknowledge her? Riley shuddered at the thought. She wasn't anyone who was popular in school, and she got in the college with a sponsorship. She studied hard to get good results because her mother couldn't afford her to any private college. In college, she did all the behind works. Whenever there was a presentation, she would be the one doing the paperworks, avoiding talking as much as she can. 

"Tay-tay!"

The voice of a woman snapped Riley back to reality. A woman in her twenties, dressed in a strapless silk white dress, was hugging Taylor. She had long, shoulder length red curls. Her eyes were a beautiful pair of marine and her skin flawless with no acnes. Again, Riley had to bit her tongue to prevent from blurting out any questions. The woman soon noticed Riley.
