EVE'S POV
I had a quick shower and dressed in my clothes from yesterday. Nathan probably thinks I'm angry but I'm not. I'm just annoyed that he finds delight in annoying me. I head to the kitchen to grab some water.

On my way, I could hear a shower running. It must be Nathan. I took my water and gulped it down. I stood near the window, enjoying the breeze.

"Are you mad at me?" I turned and saw Nathan. Hair slightly wet, pretty smirk, dreamy eyes... "Eve, I'm sorry." I was brought back to reality when Nathan spoke.

"I'm not angry, I'm annoyed." I stated and turned around, facing the window again. "I don't like being annoyed." A strong pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I turned back around, looking into Nathan's eyes.

"Please forgive me?" He pouts and chuckles. He always finds a way to mesmerize me. I couldn't ignore that awfully cute face. I had no other choice than to forgive him.

I resisted for a second and finally gave in. "Fine! I need to get back to campus though." It was a Saturday but I still had a few things to do.

"Let me get my shoes and I'll drop you off." With that, he went to his room and I waited for him to come back and we'd get going.

NATHAN'S POV
After I dropped Eve off, I drive back home and text her friend. The party is a week away from today and we haven't gotten much done.

TEXTS BETWEEN EMMA AND NATHAN
Nathan: Hi, it's Nathan.

Emma: Hi.

Good she texted back quickly.

Nathan: Hope you're good? I want us to get started on the preparations.

Emma: I am. That would be great! Just so you know, Eve doesn't like crowd so it shouldn't be too big.

That's something I'll always have to keep.

Nathan: Okay! Maybe you could take care of the invites? I wouldn't really invite anyone. I'm sure I can find a venue.

Emma: I can do that! I can't wait for everything to be settled!

I can't wait to see how happy Eve will be!

Nathan: Me too. Text me when you get anything done.

Emma: Will do!

EVE'S POV
This week has been different. After I got back from Nathan's, he seems too busy to talk and so does Emma. It was a Friday night and since no one is willing to talk to me, I might as well enjoy some alone time. Under my covers, I lay comfortably, watching tv and enjoying my snacks.

My eyes were heavy but I continued watching. I looked at my phone for the last time, at least hoping to get just one message, but again, nothing! I just loose hope and drift into sleep.

-------------------------------------

Saturday mornings are always refreshing! And as it is my birthday, it is even more refreshing! Messages started coming in to me. From my parents, siblings and a few from other relatives.

Emma didn't send me any. My best friend out of all people! I didn't know what it was, but something was suspicious. Nathan didn't as well. 'The day has only began. They might send theirs in later.' I said to myself and continued reading messages from others.
