I forgot to mention, we have this 2-week break because it was summer-ish and all. I intend to enjoy it--forgetting the fact that it'll be my last vacation. 

I groan to the sound of my phone ringing. I pick it up with a grumpy, "What?"

"So you wake up really late and you're still grumpy?" I hear a chuckle from the other end. 

"Blaze? How the hell did you get my number?"

"Anais. So, how about--"

"She gave you my number?" I cut him off. 

"Yeah, so as I was saying, what do you want to cross off your list today?"

"You still remember that?" I yawn, starting to get up. 

"Yes, and I'm keeping my word when I say that I'll help you complete it." 

"I don't know what to plan today, or what's left of it" 

"Send me a picture" 

And so I did. 

"How about a rave?" he asks. 

"Sure, what should I wear?"

"Sexy but not too revealing" he says and I could imagine a smirk plastered on his face. 

"Pervert"

"Kitty, okay, I'll pick you up at 5, we have a long ride" he pauses and then adds, "And I don't mean my--"

"Okay stop! I get the message, Bye!" I quickly end the call before it gets a lot worse. 

I check the time. 

2 pm

I checked my closet for some clothes and found nothing good. I got 3 hours left to prepare. Should I shop for clothes or just call Anais like always?

-*-

After an hour of searching in my closet, I gave up and called her. 

"Help me, I've got nothing to wear!" I exclaim as soon as she picked up. 

"I don't know how to help you with that, Cat" he laughs. 

Wait--HE?!

I looked at the contact and saw "Blaze" on the screen. I must've called him by accident, given that I named Anais "Babe" in my contacts. 

"I'm going to end the call now, and you are going to pretend that this didn't happen, got it?"

"Yes, ma'am" he chuckles before ending the call.

This time I called up Anais and asked her to come over and help me. 

"Right now?"

"Yes, you can mess with my hair if you want" I bribe her. 

"Deal! I'll be there in 5 minutes!"

And so I waited

-*-

"There's really nothing in this damn closet that's for a rave, and who are you going with?" 

"None of your business" I simply answer.

"It is my business though, I'm your bestfriend and we keep no secrets"

I sigh, "You already know who"

Just as I expected, she smirks. 

"Blaze? Damn, too bad we can't find anything good on you"

"Meh," I shrug. "It's just a rave"

"JUST a rave? It's your FIRST rave, it's a memory! You should be wearing something to make this night special"

"Woah, calm down, it's not a honeymoon"

"It might as well be" she winks. 

"You're gross"

"But you love me"

"Touche"

She did my hair while we talked about the outfit I could wear. She did my hair as a french braid bun and let me tell you. She's amazing at it. 

By the time we finished with my hair and light smoky make-up, I had 30 minutes left. I still had no outfit what am I-- The doorbell rings. 

I went downstairs and opened the door. It was Blaze, holding a paperbag. 

"What's this?"

"I came to the rescue, you had a fashion emergency, remember?"

"I still do, thanks" I grab the bag from him shyly.

"It's what a knight does" he takes my hand.

"What is that exactly?"

He kisses my hand. "Save the princess in distress"

"Don't you mean damsel?"

"Princess suits you better, now go get ready"

I went upstairs and got myself ready.

"You look amazing" he breathes out. I was wearing a navy blue dress that crossed on my chest and exposed an area of my stomach and my sides. 

I rubbed my arm, shy. "Really?"

"Yes, I knew I picked out the right outfit for you"

"I think my job here is done" Anais announces as she walked out. 

"Now how about that rave?" 

-*-

There were teenagers all around, noisy and wild. I held onto Blaze's arm tighter, scared of getting lost. 

"Don't worry, I got you" he shouts over the noise. "Want some drinks?"

I shook my head, not wanting alcohol. 

I watch him take shots and eventually get drunk. He pulls me onto the dancefloor, holding my waist and swaying us to the music. 

For the time, I felt safe in his arms. I enjoyed the moment and rest my head on his. It didn't last because the song changed and after a few more drinks, we left. 

"Where are we going?" I ask. 

"We are going" he pauses, "Somewhere"

"Just tell me"

"It' supposed to be a surprise."

"I don't like surprises"

"Trust me on this one"

-*-

"I am not doing that!" I whisper-shout

"It was on your list though"

"Yes, but I was hoping to get a permit"

"What's the fun in that?" he laughs as he passes the spray paint to me. 

Leave my mark in Graffiti

I shake the can and thought of what to put. 

"Leave your mark?" I question myself. "What do you remember me by?"

"Cat" he simply answered.

I was going to start marking it but got scared. I don't want to go to jail. Blaze suddenly starts spraying next to me.

"Maybe if I do it, it'll make you feel better" he reasons. 

It did. I wrote "Cat" with the spray and grin at him. 

"See? Not so bad" he tells me. 

"Yeah, not so-"

"Hold it right there!" someone shouts, halting us. It was a cop. I turned to looked at Blaze and he mouthed

"Run to the car"

When he started sprinting, I did too, hopping into the passenger's seat and wearing my seatbelt.

He started the car and backed out of the alley, turning the car around and driving off. From a distance, we heard a siren. 

Get into a police chase

I didn't want to do that sooner. 

The car swerved right and left, avoiding and over-taking the other cars. It felt like Fast and the Furious but without the guns. 

I looked behind us, scared that the cop was still on our tail. 

"We've got to shake him off" I tell Blaze.

"How do I do that?"

"You're the knight here! Do whatever and save the princess!" I exclaim in panic. 

"So you finally admit being a princess?" he smirks. 

"Shut up and drive!" 

I see him grin and reach for the radio, playing "Shut up and drive" by Rihanna. For some dark reason, I found myself laughing. I must be losing my mind. 

We were heading for a stoplight, in yellow. Blaze stomps on the gas and we zoom past the light, just in time. 

We lost the cop and we made our way to the highway, heading home. 

Somewhere in the ride, I must've fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
