Juliet's POV
The sunlight peered through my window and into my eyes, which obviously woke me up. I opened my eyes and Hayes was on top of me.
"Hayes." I groaned.
I scooted out from under him, being careful not to wake him up. I was headed to my closet to grab some clothes for the day.
I turned around and Hayes was staring at me.
"Babe come back to bed." He said in a low, raspy voice. It was very sexy.
I rolled my eyes and walked to the shower when he got up and wrapped his arms around my waist.He kissed me on the neck.
"I want you to come back to bed." He pouted.
"I'm going to take a shower.." I said.
"Can I join you?" He asked.
"Nope." I laughed as he groaned.
"Okay, just come back to bed soon." He kissed me on the cheek, unwrapped his arms, and walked back to the bed and fell asleep.
I went to the bathroom, took a shower, and blow dried my hair.
I straightened it, and put on my jeans, white converse, tied a flannel around my waist, and wore a Pink Floyd muscle shirt.
I walked back to my room, and Hayes wasn't there. I grabbed my phone, put it in my pocket, and went to the kitchen.
It was Sunday, which means school is tomorrow.
Hayes was cooking something.
I snuck up behind him and kissed him on the cheek.
"What are you cooking?" I asked, wrapping my arms around his waist.
"Pancakes." He laughed.
"I didn't know you could cook." I said.
"Sadly, there's a lot of things you don't know about me." He said.
I let go of his waist and sat on the counter.
"Like what?"
"For starters, my first name is Benjamin." He said.
I laughed.
"Then what's Hayes?"
"My middle name." He said.
"What else should I know?" I asked.
"My parents are divorced." He said as he put a pancake on a plate. I was silent.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"That's where Skylynn comes in. My mom made her, and my dad married Nila." He said.
"Sorry." I said.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I love my family." He said.
He made a couple more pancakes.
"Let me make something." I said as I grabbed the bacon from the fridge.
"Try not to burn the house down, babe." He said as he kissed my cheek and went over to Matt's apartment.
"Where are you going?" I yelled.
"I'm going to wake them up!" He yelled.
I put the bacon in the pan and started to cook it.
"It smells good in here." Matt emerged from his apartment and sat in the kitchen table.
"You got that right." Lesley said as she sat next to Matt.
"So, what's for breakfast?" Matt asked.
"Bacon and pancakes." Hayes came out from Matt's apartment and sat across from them.
"Did you two cook them?" Matt asked as I put the pancakes and bacon on the table.
"Yes..." I said as I grabbed everyone plates and silverware and put it on the table.
"Should I be careful?" Matt pretended to whisper to Lesley.
"You should be." Lesley laughed as she grabbed a couple of pieces of bacon.
"Very funny." I rolled my eyes as we all dug into our breakfast. After everyone was done, I cleaned up.
"Don't worry about it. Let me do this." Hayes said as he cleaned up our mess.
First, he's sweet when I woke him up.
Next, he cooks breakfast. Then, he wants to clean up.
What's next? Another date? That's probably not going to happen.
"After this do you want to go on another date?" Hayes asked.
"Uh...yeah. Sure. How should I dress?" I asked. Of course another date was coming up.
"You look perfect in anything. But please dress fancy like you always do?" He hugged me and kissed me on the forehead. He grabbed his penny board.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I'm going to go get ready." He said as he kissed me on the lips then walked out the door.
Today was going to be a good day.

Hayes's POV
Maybe I love Juliet.
Last night, I overheard her say she loves me. She must've thought I was asleep.
The truth was, I don't know what love is. I've said it to a bunch of girls many different times. They didn't mean anything.
Juliet was different. She's good for me. She's smart, beautiful, adventurous, and she completes me.
I don't know what love is.I've never loved someone before.
I rode my board back to my apartment and walked inside. No one was awake yet.
I went up to my room, and dialed the number for another fancy restaurant. It served Italian food.
"Hi reservation for 2 people please, at 3 o'clock." I said.
"Name?"
"Hayes Grier."
"Okay. You're set for a reservation." She said as I hung up.
It was 11, and I planned to take her out at 1 for bowling.
I put on a navy blue button up, khakis, and blue oxfords.I brushed my hair out.
Everything has to be perfect. Just like her.

Juliet's POV
I put on a maroon skater dress, sheer black tights, brown boots, and put on a daisy flower crown. I decided to curl my hair.
Hayes texted me.
Hayes: hey babe! I'll be over in 5.
I quickly put on mascara, eyeliner, and BB cream. I grabbed a brown bag, put my phone, earbuds, and Polaroid in it.
Then someone, I'm guess it's Hayes, knocked on my door. I opened it.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked.
I nodded, and we headed off into the elevator, and down to the lobby. We made it into the taxi.
"I'm shocked it's not one of those surprise dates you always have." I laughed.
"You don't know where we're going yet." He said as he whispered to the taxi driver. I rolled my eyes.
"One day you'll tell me where we're actually going on a date." I joked.
"Where's the fun in that?" He laughed.
In a few minutes, we pulled up into a fancy Italian restaurant which I can't pronounce the name.
"This seems...amazing." I said.
"I try." Hayes smiled.
We got out of the taxi and into the restaurant.
"Table for 2, I made a reservation." Hayes said proudly.
"Name?" The waitress asked.
"Hayes Grier."
"Right this way." She grabbed two menus and led us to a table.
"Your waiter will be with you shortly." She smiled and she left.
We sat in our small booth. The Italian restaurant was full of adults.
"Isn't this a bit awkward?" I asked.
"Not as awkward as you make it out to be." Hayes said.
The waiter came. He looked about 15 and had brown hair and green eyes.
"Hello, I'm your waiter Anthony. Do you want to start off with anything to drink?" He stared at me.
"I'll have iced tea." I smiled.
"And I'll have coke." Hayes said as the waiter left.
"Could we please get a new waiter?" Hayes whined.
"Why?" I asked.
"He....I....I don't like him." Hayes pouted.
"You don't like anybody." I laughed.
"I like you." He smiled as he grabbed my hand on the table.
The waiter came back, a little disappointed.
"Can I take your order?" He huffed, and we ordered our food.
"I'll see you later." He winked at me and left.
Hayes looked at me.
"Can we please have a new waiter?" Hayes begged.
"Wait, are you jealous?" I laughed.
"So what if I'm jealous?" He asked.
"I think it's cute." I smiled.
We got lost in the conversation until the food came. The waiter handed Hayes his food and then he put down my plate.
"Be careful, the plate is very hot, like you." He winked again and he left.
I groaned.
"What?" Hayes laughed.
"I hate pick up lines." I laughed with him.
"Do you really?" He said.
"Yeah."
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"If I were to change the alphabet I'd put U and I together." He laughed.
"No. Stop." I said.
"Okay. But I must have lost my number, can I have yours?" He laughed again.
"Benjamin Hayes Grier if you make one more cheesy pick up line I'm going to get up and leave." I joked.
He put his hand on his heart, and acted like I offended him or something.
"Juliet Collins I am hurt that you even said that." He gasped.
I laughed.
"But do me a quick favor?"
"What?"
"Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see." He laughed.
I shook my head.
"I'm afraid to be seen with you, Hayes Grier." I joked.
