Vanessa was waiting in her living room for Timothée to pick her up for their week getaway, she was excited but stressed to not have left anything important behind. Checking off her mental checklist her phone starts ringing. Letting her know that Timothée is here and that she can come down. She walks out of the apartment and sees Timothée leaning on the side of a small car

"Nice car, who's is it?" Vanessa asks confused as Timothée doesn't usually drive

"It's a rental" he explains as he takes her suitcase and puts in the trunk. He walks to the passengers side and opens the door for Vanessa allowing her to get inside before stepping into the drivers.

"How long is the drive anyways" Vanessa asks

"About 2 and half hours so if it's 3 o'clock now, we'll reach around 5 but first we need to go to target" Timothée responds

Timothée drives into the target parking lot and the two of them walk inside.

"So what exactly are we here for?" Vanessa asks

"Road trips snacks and basic necessities" he responds. They split up and get everything they need including board games and crafts they can do at the cabin. They walk past the cosmetics aisle and come across the hair dye

"Wanna do something spontaneous Timmy?" Vanessa asks while picking up a box of hair bleach

"Only if you do it with me" he takes the bleach from her and puts it in the cart

"But what about green?" Vanessa asks while putting a box of green hair dye in the cart.

"Green it is!"

They pay and are back on their way to Woodstock. Vanessa was connected to Bluetooth and was controlling the music. She plays the song Wet Dreamz by J Cole.

"I fucking love this song" Timothée exclaims

"I know I know that's why I'm playing it"

They both start wrapping to the lyrics before getting cut off by Vanessa's phone ringing. Timothée looks on the screen display and reads the name 'Gerald'

"Gerald? As in ex Gerald" Timothée asks confused

"Yeah it's probably nothing I'll call him back later"

"Oh so you guys still talk?"

"Yeah sometimes"

"Oh" Timothée responds

"What is that supposed to mean?" Vanessa responds curious

"Nothing it's just— nothing"

"No tell me" Vanessa says now getting a bit annoyed

"It's just he's your ex and he hurt you really badly so if you speak to him aren't you just hurting yourself more"

"Well I'm not gonna let him hurt me, he's going through a lot and he just needed someone to talk to"

"But he's not your responsibility, he's not a child V—"

"Vanessa" Vanessa interrupts and corrects Timothée. Now annoyed and angry

"Vanessa it's just he fucking cheated on you and got someone pregnant and now you're holding his hand. He's just using you and you're too ignorant to see it" Timothée responds getting annoyed with Vanessa.

"It's really not your business I didn't ask for your two cents!" Vanessa shouts

"Well then don't do stupid and dumb things!" Timothée shouts back

"Fuck you Timothée" she shouts back.

Now sitting in a silent car, having no where to escape, the both of them getting more and more angry with each other. Suddenly they hit a bump and the car starts to struggle to move. Timothée pulls to the side and getting out of the car.

"We have a flat, I'm gonna call AAA" he says blandly

An hour passes and Timothée is leaning on the outside the car and Vanessa was waiting inside before grabbing a pack of cigarettes and getting out of the car. Approaching Timothée

"Any news" she asks

"Nope and the sun is going now so we might be stuck here" he responds

"Got a lighter" she asks holding up her box of cigarettes

He grabs his lighter through the open window and lights her up.

"I didn't know you smoked" he asks

"I don't" she responds before taking a pull and handing him the cigarette.

"Listen" the both of them say in unison

"Um you got first" Timothée laughs

"I'm sorry, I know you're right and I just didn't want to admit it and I deleted his number when we were waiting because you are right, all he does is use me" Vanessa responds

"No I'm sorry it wasn't my place to say anything, I know it can be hard to cut ties but I just don't wanna see you get hurt" he responds

"And I know that, I just got defensive because I value your own a lot"

"Nessa, can I tell you something"

"Go for it"

"I think I'm falling for you" he says whispering while looking at the now dark sky avoiding eye contact.

"What?" She responds pretending that she didn't hear him

"No it's nothing" he says looking now.

They casually sit wait in silence passing the cigarette between the two of them. Eventually Vanessa speaks

"Timothée?"

"Yeah V?"

"I think I'm falling for you too" she responds

Timothée drops the cigarette on the floor rubbing his foot on it to. Before grabbing Vanessa face and kissing her passionately and intensely. This kiss not like the ones before but filled with so much lust. They pull away slowly as Timothée opens the car door allowing Vanessa to get in and him on top of her.

They started making out, getting extremely intense as timothee's were now under Vanessa's shirt. They pull away for a second as Vanessa pulls Timothée shirt off and then him pulling hers off. They resumed their make out until Timothée went to to unbutton Vanessa's jeans.

"Timothée stop stop I can't do this" she interrupts panicked

"Is everything okay?" He asks concerned

"Um I just can't do this, I want to but I can't I really can't"

Before Timothée could respond a bright light flashes into the now foggy car windows and they hear a knock on the car window.

The car gets fixed and they now back to sitting in an awkward silence on their way to the cabin.
