I woke up the next morning to the sound of my phone ringing loudly from across the room, begrudgingly I got out of bed and dragged myself over to my dressing table where my phone was charging. Slumping in my chair and shutting my eyes I answer the phone not looking at the caller ID.

"Yes?" I ask, my voice sounding raspy and sleepy.

"Why are you still asleep you weirdo?"

"Shawn?" I ask, slightly confused but waking up more at the sound of his voice.

"That's me, why are you still asleep?"

"I'm clearly not asleep, I'm talking to you right now."

"Yeah yeah whatever,"

"So why did you call me at this ungodly hour?"

"Eva, honey, it's quarter to twelve."

"You're kidding me right?" I say opening my eyes and looking at my clock my heart skipping a beat at the pet name, "I guess not, thanks for waking me up. What did you want?"

"I need your help,"

"With..?"

"What should I wear tonight?" he asks making me burst out laughing.

"Shawn, you sound like such a girl right now!"

"I'm meeting your parents Eva,"

"So? You've already met them, at the airport."

"I want to make a good impression,"

"Why?"

"God why do you ask so many questions? I want whatever relationship we'll have to start off right,"

"Call it curiosity, and jumping to conclusions are we Shawn? I haven't agreed to anything,"

"Curiosity killed the cat Eva. And you're killing me, I need to know."

"Satisfaction bought it back to life," I hum into the phone and I stand in front of my wardrobe, selecting my clothes for the day and picking a dress out for tonight.

"So have you made up your mind?"

"Shawn, please give me some more time, you only asked me yesterday!" Truth being told, I didn't need more time, but I didn't want to tell him just over the phone.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I guess I'll see you tonight?"

"Yep, and for the record, I'm wearing blue."

"Blue, right, got it."

"Bye Shawn,"

"Goodbye love." He says making me grin like a fool.

"So you going to hang up or?"

"No you hang up first,"

"Okay byeee," I laugh as I click the end call button on my phone.
We were not going to be that couple.

I rush into the shower and once I'm done I pull on my ripped jeans and a random shirt that was in my cupboard and nearly trip on the stairs as I run down the stairs.

"Hey mum!" I say giving her a quick hug and grab a cereal bar, "I'm going to get some stuff for the brownies, do you want anything?"

"No thanks honey, I think we're all good! If I need anything I'll call you though or your father can pick it up from his way home," she says glancing at me from the stove, and whatever she was cooking smelt amazing!

I give her a quick nod as a reply and head out climbing into my car, another thing I had really missed was not being able to drive as much, especially in my car. I got it for my 18th birthday and I have loved it ever since!

Turning on the radio, I laugh as my song is playing, it's still so strange to hear my voice and my songs on the radio. I remember singing along to other songs on my way to school hoping that one day I would get to be one of the people on the radio. I guess some dreams do come true.

I pull up into the store and head straight to the baking section, picking up the individual ingredients that I needed, silently thanking the fact that it was super quiet and no one would have noticed me.

I really hoped that this would be perfect.
