One thing led to another...

"I love you baby!" You tell Jack earnestly as hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll message you as soon as we get there okay?" You tell him as you gather your packed bags.

"Alright baby, have fun and be safe" he says as you close the door behind you.

You find yourself having to stop from running down the stairs with excitement... You had been working things out with your friends for months to go to this convention and it was finally time!

As you reach the bottom of the steps, you see your best friends car, filled with people...

Craig, a good friend from high school sits in the passenger seat. His girlfriend Anna sits behind the wheel. In the back is a friend of theirs you don't know particularly well, but you think his name is Mike or something...

"Hey guys!" You say as you eagerly throw your bags into the trunk of her car. You open the door and hop into the back next to Mike.

"Hi Kay, I'm so happy it's finally time for us to go to this convention!" Anna says excitedly as you puts the car into drive.

"Yeah, it feels like we've been waiting for ages..." Craig chimes in.

"You know Mike right?" Anna says, looking at you through the rearview mirror.

"Yeah I think we met at your house once before" you reply as you look over to Mike.

"What's up?" He says coolly as he looks over to you with his blue eyes...

"Oh nothing much... Excited to finally be going really... It's all I've been thinking about for weeks!" You say with a happy giggle...

"So everything is all straight for the hotel rooms, we managed to get 2 right by the convention center" Craig says, turning around to look at you and Mike.

"We got you separate beds of course" he adds in.

"Thank you so much for getting everything straight with that... And speaking of it, before I forget, here's the money I owe you for my half of the room!" You tell him as you reach for your purse.

Your hand brushes Mike's side as you grab for it...

"Oh! My bad..." You tell him as you grab the check out of it...

"No worries" he replies with a soft smile... The two of you look at each other for a split second before you turn and hand Craig the check...
