I put the keys in and turn this bad boy on.

The engine purrs and my smile just gets bigger.

I wouldn’t want him to see how happy this makes me, but alone, I could do what I wanted.

I pull out my phone and send a quick text to Willow to let her know I was coming.

“WHAAAAAAAAT YOUR HERE??” I get as a text back.

Laughing, I tuck the phone into my pocket as I back out of the driveway and head over to Between The Pages.

“I cannot stop looking at you babe.” Willow says as she leans on her hand on the counter.

I blush at her hundredth compliment as I laugh at her.

Since I walked in, she has not stopped talking about my hair. How long it got, and how blonde it was.

“Likewise.” I say back, and sip the latte she made.

Her curly hair was now shorter, and she got bangs that framed her face so perfectly. She was the cutest.

“Seriously though, how many guys are back at home waiting for you to return?” she asks with a wiggle of her brows.

Black combat boots flash in my mind.

Creepy skull mask.

I adjust on the stool she put in front of the register.

“None.” I say with a pop and sip.

“Yeah fucking right.” she says and leans towards me. “Last year you were beautiful course, but now you’re like fucking hot. With a capital HOT.”

I belly laugh at her dramatics, and I’m about to tell her to shut it when the door chimes with someone entering.

Instantly, I recognize the face.

Sebastian.

Oh, he looked good.

His black hair looked a little lighter, as if he was working outside in the summer. The waves were cut shorter than last year.

But, he grew. Taller than before, and looked even prettier.

Glancing down, I see his lips were tilted in a smirk as he walked through, and he was talking to someone that walked in with him.

This guy I haven’t seen before, but of course he was still handsome. Like every fucking guy in this town for some reason.

He was a little shorter than Sebastian, but not by much. He had blonde hair that was a little longer, and had a handsome face.

They both were wearing letter man jackets or something and jeans. Sebastian had a silver necklace with something on it I couldn’t see.

I was gawking at both of them, when Sebastian looks right at me.

My cheeks burn at being caught, and I quickly turn towards Willow, who was wearing a shit eating grin.
