I walked into the cafe with my boyfriend, holding hands and a big smile on my face. "I always enjoy ing here. It's so cutesy and quant don't ya think love?"

  Joey smiled at me "oh yea, I love it" he said. I had been in a really good mood retly and he seemed to be rather enjoying my high energy. We walked up to the register and I quickly pced my order, kissed Joey on the lips and excused myself to use the bathroom.

  The bathroom was tucked in behind a wall right by where we order so I walked past the wall to go to the restroom but stopped short of entering. "That's you girlfriend!?" I heard the guy w the register excim to Joey. Oh, they were talking about me? Well now I wao know what they were going to say.

  "Oh yea, we've been dating for awhile now" Joey answered sounding rather casual. "Bro you're dating Jessy!? How the hell did you score that!?" I smiled at the ent, so nice of the cashier to help feed my ego.

  "Well we've known each other a long time" Joey responded not really giving it much thought. "We've been dating since high school. Wait how do you know her?" Oh that was a good point, I had no idea who this cashier was.

  The cashier ughed at the question "man everybody knows Jessy. She's on the cheer team, and she's probably the baddest one oeam." I blushed a little at that, I mean it was nice for hear such strong praises every on awhile right?

  "She's not bad" Joey responded "she's actually a really good person. Hell all the girls oeam are from what Jessy tells me." Ah Joey, ever my sweet little darling. "No man" the cashier chuckled "I mean like she's hot as fuck. You're one lucky guy sg a girl like that man."

  "Oh heh, thanks" I could almost feel Joey's unfortableness. It almost bothered me how much more the cashier was willing to talk so highly of my looks vs my actual boyfriend, well almost.

  "Though holy that's gotta be hard work too" the cashier ented seeming to think to himself for a moment. "I don't think I could keep a girl like that. I mean she's got to be a wild time, and with how fit those cheerleaders are. Man I don't think I'd st nearly enough for her to say yes more than once. Holy though, once would be enough for me you know what I mean?"

  That statement had given me some mixed feelings. I liked the se, but after ret events with Barrett...

  "No, I don't really get what you mean by that" Joey said in a ft tone. He clearly didn't care for the versation anymore. The cashier did not seem to notice, or care. "Not to mention I'd be paranoid as hell man. A girl like that, you know every guy is trying to get her to say yes. Gotta stay on top of yame man."

  Ok, this is enough. I'll use the restroom ter.

  I walked back around the er with a big smile. "Oh hey, still ?" I asked pg a hand on Joey's chest and kissing his cheek. "Nah gotta pay" he said giving the cashier his card. I could feel the cashier trying very hard not to get caught looking at me. Whatever, he look all he wants. I guess everybody needs something to dream about.

  Joey finished paying a down by the window. We spent some time talking about cheer practid csses, and Joey mentioned wanting to travel home soon to see his family for a weekend.

  As we talked I saw one of my friends walking in with a guy I didn't reize. "JESSY!" She screamed as she opehe door and rushed over to hug me. "SARAH!" I screamed back jumping out of my seat and hugging her back.

  We hugged each htly for a moment before she pulled away, and looked me up and down. "Looking sexy as always girl!" That made me smile really wide. I had chosen a long bck skirt and a fish bck top with only a bck bra underh to show off my body a little today. Joey had not ented on it except to hat it was new. He said it looked good which is fi Sarah's reaade me feel much better.

  "Aw thanks babe! I got it at that ore around the er. The top was on sale 50% off and the skirt es with pockets!" I showed off my pockets and Sarah gleamed with excitement "oh I am definitely hitting up that store after this!"

  "I'm Ralph by the way" the guy, who's name is apparently Ralph, introduced himself. "o meet you" I responded kindly not wanting to be rude. "Well I'm going to get us some drinks, be right back" he said exg himself.

  "So um, new boyfriend" I asked Sarah. I hadn't heard of her dating anyone new. "Oh no" Sarah giggled "I couldn't date a guy like that. But I don't mind screaming his name a few times. Seriously that boy has so much stamina, st time I thought I might just lose my voice!"

  "Oh yea I get it" I responded and even to my ears that sounded awkward. "Hey we're in college, I'm here to learn, and have as much fun as I in the meantime." Yea, Sarah's right, it is important to have fun.

  "Oh hey you remember my boyfriend Jht" I turned around and Joey waved while mid sip. Whoops, I guess I should've looked first. "Oh yea, um hey Joey" Sarah waved at him before pulling me away a little and whispering to me.

  "You're seriously still with that guy? You know if you only ever have fun with one guy you'll never get to explore hings." I just rolled my eyes "hey we've been tryihings so I think we've got that covered."

  Sarah held up her hands i "fine, you do you girl. Holy it's kinda cool you found someoo give your heart too that you trust, and so soon too. I mean damn high school sweethearts, that's a textbook cutesy stht there."

  Ralph came back with the drinks, Sarah and I said goodbye and the two of them headed off. I'm gd Sarah is having fun, and I'm gd she's not pushy about how I should have fun.

  Joey and I finished up and headed to his dorm. His roommate was basically the dorm so we often times just slept together at his pce. I for one never really wao disturb my roommate.

  We walked in and Joey kissed me nid deep, his hands on my hips. I kissed back, but not nearly with the same passion. I should, today has been a lovely day and I was truly and genuinely happy. It's just... I wasn't in the mood for tonight is all. Nothing wrong with that, that's normal...

  "Everything ok love" Joey asked having clearly noticed my ck of respoo his advances. "Oh yea, totally. I'm just kind of tired is all. I think I want to tucker in." Joey kissed my cheek this time, being the gentleman I could always t on him to be. "Of course love, I'm going to get ged and I'll head over to bed."

  Joey put on some shorts and a t-shirt. I for one just stripped down to my underwear. We rolled into bed cuddled up and Joey was soon deep asleep. I couldn't sleep though, my eyes kept wandering oo my phone. I don't know why, I just kept looking over at it as if expeg something. Today erfect, so why did it feel just slightly off?
