Part 4

I squeal with excitement before tackling her with a hug again.

"How?" I say, smiling.

"Let's just say a few people pitched in"

"Which few people?"

"You'll see"

"What?"

"They're coming with us"

"We are broke college students how the fuck did you manage to do that"

She chuckled before handing me my phone.

"Tell someone. You're suffocating me"

"Sorry"

I grab my phone and click the first contact that came to mind.

Alex.

It rang a few times before he answered.

"Jesus Addy. We've been away from each other for like a few hours" he laughs

Rory smirks at me and raises her eyebrows.

"Shut up. I have exciting news"

"Oh?"

"So Rory and a few other people pitched in to get me plane tickets to France which means I'm going to see my parents for Christmas" I say in one breath

"Really?" I could hear his smile.

"Really"

"Holy shit that's amazing Addy. We have to celebrate"

"That's not necessary" I giggle

"Why? Let's go to dinner tomorrow"

"Are you asking me on a date?" I smile

Rory's jaw dropped and it quickly faded into a smile.

"Yeah, why? Do you not wanna go?"

"No no I do. Yeah, dinner tomorrow sounds great."

"Alright. I'll pick you up at 6:30"

"Alright"

"Bye"

"Bye Alex"

I set my phone down and Rory stares at me.

"I'm telling Sophia" she laughs, grabbing her phone.

I groan and flop down on my bed. When Rory leaves the room, I catch myself smiling.

Holy shit. Do I like Alex?

I had been going places with him as a friend, but the tingly feeling in my chest when he holds my hand or the way he looks at me. The way his laugh made me laugh. Not to mention he's incredibly attractive.

I frown at myself. I can't fall in love.

Rory comes running back into the room with a smile.

"Woah what's up with you" she says, sitting next to me.

"Nothing"

"Addy.." she put her hand over mine.

I took a deep breath.

"I think I like Alex." I frown.

"That's a bad thing?"

"Yes. I'm not ready to fall in love"

"Y'know as someone studying psychology, you are ready. You're afraid he doesn't like you back. Your not afraid of love, you're afraid of rejection."

"He doesn't like me back. That's the thing."

"Bitch are you blind? He just asked you out, you texted with him for hours last night and have you seen the way he looks at you? Hell, he might already be in love"

I thought for a moment.

"You really think so?"

"I know so. Now let's go out to get dinner"

"Alright" I sat up and smiled.

Man am I lucky to have Rory.
