"Then we'll find another internship."

"But I like this one. And I like that I get to work with you." I lay my head on his chest.

He kisses my head. "Then we'll just have to be more careful when we sneak around."

"We shouldn't do that anymore. Now that we can do it here, we don't need to be fooling around at work. It's too risky."

"So you're saying you'll let me come over during the week?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Because you're never here. Are you planning to cut back on some of your activities?"

"Maybe. I don't know yet."

"You gonna let me stay over? I'm sure Kira wouldn't mind, given that Austin practically lives here."

"Actually, they've been staying over at his place a lot. The past few weeks I've had the apartment to myself."

"Then I need to come over more."

"What about your place?"

"We can go there but it's not that clean and it kind of stinks thanks to Van leaving food everywhere. You want to go there tonight?"

"I guess we could. But I have to be back here by seven tomorrow."

"I'll set the alarm. I have class at eight."

Normally, I wouldn't spend this much time with a guy but with Dylan it's different. I want more time with him. These past few days have proved to me that Dylan is more than just a one-night stand. I knew that back in May. I felt it, but I didn't know what to do about those feelings because I never in a million years believed something like that would lead to a serious relationship. But it did. We haven't dated long but it already feels serious. Dylan is already talking about a future with me. I'm not quite at that point but I definitely want to keep dating him.

A door shuts and we hear voices.

"Sounds like they're home," Dylan says. He checks the clock. "It's only four. Why are they back so early?"

"It's not early." I sit up and find my t-shirt on the bed and slip it on. "Kira said she'd be back at three so this is late."

There's a knock on my bedroom door and I hear Kira. "You guys decent in there?"

"Yeah," Dylan calls back. "Come in."

"Dylan!" I whisper, scolding him, because we are not decent. He's naked under the covers and I'm wearing a t-shirt and nothing else.

Kira opens the door and walks in with Austin at her side.

Austin grins at us. "Couldn't get out of bed this morning? Late night?" He chuckles.

"Very late night," Dylan says, grinning back. "Barely got any sleep."

I hit his shoulder. "No details, remember?"

"I didn't give any details. I was just commenting about how much we slept."

I roll my eyes. Even though Kira and Austin know what we were doing, I'm still embarrassed talking about it.

"Maybe we should go," Kira says, sensing my embarrassment. "We just came in to ask if you guys wanted to go get some food. We didn't know you were um...still in bed."

"I could go for some food." Dylan looks at me. "What do you think?"
