Laurence's POV:

I walk up to the door of my house. I open the door to see a passing Garroth & Dante trying to calm him down. They see me in the door."Hey guys. whats up?""Thank IRENE!! Garroths been pacing for the past hour.""WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN I'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK!!" Garroth bear hugs me like he hasn't seen me in days."I was... Caught up.""FOR 3 DAYS?!""Whait." my eyes widen. 'how long did Nana have me hostage?!'"Well i'm fine! I swear!" I put my hand on the back of my neck  rubbing it nervously & smile uncomfortably. Garroth lets me go & looks at me worriedly."Are you sure? You only do that when something happens with-" Garroths eyes widen."She's not." I nod & his eyes get wider."Then the girl at the mall was-" I nod agen. I hear him mumble"Not agen.""WHAT THE F*** IS GOING ON!! What don't I know about?!""Its a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong story." Garroth says & I nod."Ok. If you say so." Dante says looking at us skeptically. We look back at him nervously & say. "soooooooooo bye.""Yup bye!" Garroth & I leave the house to find Dianna."WAIT!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there gone. I wonder what Vylads doing?" I get out my phone & text Vylad.

My face heats up. 'he-he called me b-baby back. Does he like me like I like him?'

Vylad's POV:

 I walk up to The house that my brother lives in with his friends.'I should have accepted his invitation to live with them. Then I might have been....Closer to Dante' My face heats up. 'He called me Baby last night. I called him Baby back! Does he like me? NA Never! He lives with my brother! Plus' I look down sadly.'He's Probably Straight anyway. He's constantly hitting on Aphmau & Nicole.' I knock on the door Dante answers it & sees that I look sad."You ok?""Im fine.... Can we talk?""Sure!" He lets me in & we sit on the couch to talk."What's up?""About last night..." He starts blushing which makes me blush."I SLIPPED UP OK!I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." I look down.

'I knew It.'"I'll go."

Dante's POV:

"WHAIT!" 'quick think of something! hes getting close to the door!' I akt on instinct. I kiss him fast & forcefully. I release Fast. Vylads eyes are wider than i've ever seen before. He puts his hand to his mouth & starts crying. 'ono. he doesn't like me.' "VYLAD! I'M SOOOO SORRY!!!! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT-" He pulled me into a kiss & we stay like that for what felt like forever. "Dante.....""Ya Vylad?""Would you go out with me?" 'DAMN IT!! I was going to ask him out!' I kiss him again. "Is that a yes?"" What do you think." He kisses me agen & we talk about plans for the date.
