Throughout the weekend, I tried to contact him. A few texts here and there, but I was always met with no new messages. Could I have gotten the wrong message? Surely, it wasn't possible. I mean, he kissed me on the cheek.

As Monday rolls around, I step into my classroom, taking my usual seat and bringing my items onto my desk. I set my phone down, beginning to doodle on my piece of paper as I wait for class to begin. I had ten minutes left before it started, so when I felt my phone vibrate against my desk, I immediately scramble for it.

My heart leaps out of my chest. I grin like a maniac, staring down at my phone and suddenly, I feel like I was a teenage girl all over again. He was giving me butterflies.

I clear my throat.

Don't sound too desperate. Change the subject. Quick.

I couldn't help but blush at the text, reading it over multiple times just in case I read it wrong

I couldn't help but blush at the text, reading it over multiple times just in case I read it wrong. All the worrying I had been doing suddenly disappears. He was into me. It was clear that he was.

I put my phone down for a moment when my Professor begins her lecture. I hear it vibrate once more, taking a quick peek at it.

I answer immediately.

I shake my head, smiling to myself before I put my phone away. I begin to write down the notes that my Professor says would be important on the next test. I couldn't get Chris out of my thoughts.

After class, I begin to put my things into my bag before I hear my phone begin to ring. He must have timed it perfectly.

Instantly answering, I drape my bag over my shoulder and bring the phone to my ear. When he speaks, I could have sworn that I would have melted to the floor. His voice sounded much deeper on the phone and it was sexy.

"Are you out of class?" He asks.

"I am. You keeping tabs or what?" I leave the room, walking through the empty halls.

I hear his chuckle on the other end of the phone, smiling to myself. I wish I could see him.

"Maybe I am. What are you going to do about it?" Chris teases.

"Nothing... But thank you for admitting it."

I walk to my car which is on the other side of the campus. It gives me enough time to talk him and just hearing him talk makes me miss his presence, makes me miss him.

"So, you're telling me you've never been to a Seahawks game? Ariana! Tell me you're joking."

I bite my lower lip. I just never really had time to go to the games, despite how badly I wanted to attend one. I always watched on television, but I knew that it wasn't the same when watching it in person.

"I know, I know. It's bad," I reply. I decide to take a seat underneath the tree, smiling to myself at my surroundings. It was the first day since Friday that it was a beautiful day with cloudless skies and the sun shining brightly in the sky.

"I've gotta be the one to bring you to your first game, Arri," Chris says, the determination clear in his voice.

"Well, if I was being honest, I wouldn't want anyone else but you to take me." I blush to myself. I just realized how that sounded just as it left my lips.

"You falling in love with me, Ariana?" He asks. I could just imagine him smirking.

"Hardly. You just know your football. I'd rather go with someone who enjoys being there."

He laughs, following a quiet cough. I bite my lower lip, looking down at my boots.

"Well, I better get going. We've been talking for a good hour and a half already." He tells me.

I sigh quietly, standing up and continuing my quest to my car. "Yeah and I'm still on campus. I'll talk to you soon?" I ask hopefully.

"Of course, Ariana. Study hard. Don't go falling your ice cream for any guy, okay? That position is already taken." He sounds almost possessive and I smile. There was no other man that could compare to him and it was a scary thought.

"Well, it's a good thing I've already got my ice cream."

He laughs quietly. "Alright, Arri. I'll talk to you later."

Once the call ends, I climb into my car, grinning from ear to ear.
