Smoothies with Kaden wasn't that bad. He was true to his word, and kept to across the table. We talked, about small things like, what's your favorite color, favorite animal, favorite Netflix original? We debated over a few things, pumpkin pie is obviously better than apple. He was a really good guy. Scar was quiet, for the most part, which I didn't know if I should take as a good sign or a bad sign.
   I walked back to his apartment with him, where he offered to let me stay the night.

   "No thanks," I said, "I draw the line at sleeping over."

   "I'm not going to try and get cozy with you when you're asleep, that's nasty!" He said.

   "Still, I'll just find somewhere else to sleep tonight." I said.

   I figured I'd just chill on a bench in the park. It wasn't too cold outside yet.

   "You're not going to sleep outside on a bench or something." Kaden said, like he read my mind, "it's getting cold out there."

   D***it.

   "Listen, my room has a lock on the door. I can sleep on the couch in the living room, and you can lock the door and sleep in there. That way, you're safe." Kaden reasoned.

   "Don't you know how to pick that lock by now?" I asked.

   "Actually, I tried when I first moved in, just in case I got locked out on accident. I almost broke the thing. Couldn't pick it if I wanted to. You're safe." He said.
    I sighed.

   "You're not gonna give up on this are you?"

   "Nope."

   "And I can't convince you to let me sleep on a park bench?"

   "Not a chance Lizzie Dear."

  I shuddered, suddenly in a lot of pain.

   "Don't call me that...d***it!" I cried, the pain growing more intense, I fell to my knees.

   "Shoot, I'm sorry!" He yelped.

   He crouched down next to me, putting his face level with mine. My brown eyes met his cobalt ones. I focused on how blue they really were. The pain subsided, and I felt very tired.

   "I'll sleep in the room." I said.

  "Alright, you sure you're ok?" He asked, a concerned expression on his face.

   I nodded.

  "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just haven't slept in a while."

  He led me to the room, then went to get the couch ready to sleep on. I closed the door, then locked it. I was so tired... the minute my head hit the pillow, I fell  asleep.
