There Nico's car sat and I go get in on the passenger side. He smiles at me as I shut the door. He was wearing a green long sleeve shirt and I just knew there would be no jacket.

"I'm sorry I would've came up but dorms are locked" he said.

"No you're fine" I said and he smiles.

"You look nice"

"Oh... thank you" I said as he pulls away from my dorm.

"We're heading to this street market around the corner if you don't mind"

"Not at all, sounds cute" I said and he laughs. He turns the music up and a song was playing that I wasn't familiar with.

"How was your day?" he ask.

"Good, yours?"

"Good. After work, got in good workout. I wasn't planning on doing anything tonight. I have to be up early tomorrow for work"

"On a Saturday?"

"Yea, I'm in school for Sports and Medical Fitness, I work at the Hospital in the Rehab facility"

"Oh wow, that's neat. You like it?"

"I do... if it involves helping people get in a positive mindset and healthy body I'm all for it"

"Maybe you can help me with that" I say. Oh... am I flirting? This is nice. Nico laughs and looks at me.

"Nah, you already look good. But we can workout together here and there. I'm at the gym everyday"

"I'll take you up on that"

"I'm holding you to it" he says and I smile. When we pull into the street market, there were already lots of people walking around. The sun was going down and pretty lights decorated the streets and venues. I step out the car and hear old town music playing and people laughing. This was so cute. "Hey Camari come here" Nico says and I look back to see he was at his trunk. I walk towards him as he's digging through his gym bag. "Did you plan this?"

"Plan what?" I said and he laughs.

"To wear a tank to steal my jacket?" he says pulling out a blue Nike jacket. I look at him and couldn't help to smile.

"Turn around" he laughs. I do so and he helps me put the jacket on. I turn back to face him pulling my hair out the jacket and he goes for the zipper. He zips the jacket up and stops at my chest and drops his hands. I look at him and he smiles at me. "All you have to do is ask" he says and I laugh. We start walking towards the front of the street market and I was scanning over the tables.

"Hi Nico" a female says and I look over as she brushes her hand over his shoulder while walking in the opposite direction. I hurry to look away to act like I didn't see it. I stop at a table that had cute knickknacks.

"This is gold" he said picking up a rusted Batman statue.

"Don't you mean old?" I said and he laughs.

"This stand makes really good lemonade" he says grabbing my hand and pulling me to a food truck. Nico gets us two drinks and I wasg hoping we would stay away from the ice cream. I take a sip of my lemonade and squint my eyes.

"Oh wow, that's so sweet"

"But it's good" Nico laughs and I smile at him.

"Hey Nico" someone says and we look over to see a few people walking up to us.

"What's up?" Nico says. They start a conversation and I just stand there. This is basically like having my brother around. Everyone knows of him and always want to talk. A girl was talking to Nico and he looks over at me. I send him a smile and he wraps his arm around. "Hey..." he interrupts the girl. "This is Camari... and we're actually here together, so... let me catch you guys later" he said.

"Oh... that's cool man" the guy said and Nico pulls me away.

"Wow, must suck having paparazzi" I joke and he laughs.

"I'm sorry been here for a minute so people just know you" he says. We continue to walk around and I can hear we're getting closer to the live music. Nico bought me a cute bracelet that had Arizona stitched on it and although I could make this at home it was still cute.

"Get the fuck outta here" someone says and I look over to see Tori, Nia and Blake? Wow... she's really getting around. "Camari... are you on a date?" Tori says and I roll my eyes at her.

"Tori stop" Nia laughs. "Hey Nico, surprise you're not out with the guys"

"Yea, it's about time I got a breath of fresh air" he says and they laugh.

"Hi Camari" Blake says and I smile at her. Her smile disappears from her face and she stares at me.

"Camari, we haven't got to hang out since you've been here. We're going to be family so we need to bond" Nia says putting her hand out to showcase her ring.

"Right" I smile at her.

"Anyway, we will let you guys get back to it. We're heading to a movie then dinner, but I'll text you" Nia says.

"Cool" I said and she smiles and starts to walk away.

"Could I steal her for a moment?" Blake says to Nico.

"Yea" he says. He looks at me then walks over to a nearby table and Blake pulls me to the side.

"Are we good?" she ask.

"Yea, why wouldn't we be?" I ask.

"At the court last week..."

"I was drunk so" I said and she laughs

"Girl... I like you. So, if something is bothering you, tell me. We're adults, okay?" she said.

"Yea"

"I'm making dinner tomorrow, I invited everyone over because I want to showcase something I've been working on for work. It's a big deal to me, so I would like it if you came"

"Of course" I said and she smile.

"Want me to pick you up?"

"No, it's fine. I'll just ride with my brother knowing he's probably coming"

"Yea... okay. Like I said... if we need to talk let me know"

"Okay"

"Enjoy your date" she winks at me.

"Yours too" I said looking at Tori and Nia. I turn around to walk back over to Nico. "I'm sorry about that"

"You're fine, must be hard having paparazzi?" he jokes and I laugh. He wraps his arm around me and we kept walking. When we get to the place that was playing music we sit down and Nico leans back resting his arm behind me. "We can still get ice cream if you want" he says.

"No that's fine, this lemonade is sweet enough" I said and he laughs. We sit there listening to the music. I don't think I was actually listening, my thoughts were taking over as to what do I do with my hands? What do I say next? Do I lean back? The band plays a couple songs and I finally turn to look at Nico. He was already staring at me and I laugh and look back to the band. How long was he staring at me?

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare" Nico says and I couldn't help but laugh.

"No you're fine" I say and I feel him get closer.

"Camari" he says and I turn to look at him. He stares at me and looks down at my lips. Is he...? He leans closer to me and I close my eyes as I felt our lips touch. Oh boy. His hand comes to my face and I turn a little more towards him. He pulls away and I look at him and he smiles. I turn around and look ahead as he wraps his arm around my waist and we continue to watch the band play. I didn't even care I didn't truly like music. This scene was too perfect to paint

After awhile, we head back to the car, Nico holds onto my hand and he talks about how one of his patients got into a really bad car accidents and was told he wouldn't be able to walk again and Nico trained with him for over a year and the guy is getting ready to run a 2k race.

"That's amazing" I said.

"I know, it's amazing what the human body is capable of" he says as we reach the car. He let's go of my hand as we get in and a Kendrick Lamar song starts up. "Thank you for coming out tonight with me" he says pulling away from the street market.

"Thank you for inviting me out" I said and he smiles at me. "Also, thank you for my bracelet" I said looking down at it.

"Just something for you to remember me by" he said and I laugh. When we pull into my dorm, I didn't want the night to be over but all good things come to an end. Nico puts the car in park and something in my mind was telling me to just grab his face and send him off with a kiss.

But I was too scared and instead... I open the door and stepped out. I turn to look at him and he smiles at me.

"I'll see you around"

"Sounds good" I said shutting the door. A few people were going into the dorm and a guy held the door for me. I go up to my dorm and I couldn't stop smiling. I start to dig through my purse when I didn't feel my keys. Oh no. I knock on the door and nothing. Of course Desi isn't here. I pull out my phone to call her and no answer. Shit! I don't even have Aria's number. I sit down by my door and lean my head back. I try Desi again and no answer.

I wasn't going to call Nico back. What could he do? Wasn't going to call Blake or Nia. They're all together being best friends. The only other person I knew I could call was my brother. I mean I do have a room at his place. I call Breenan and it was answered on the third ring.

"Hello?" someone answers and that didn't sound like my brother.

"Who's this?"

"Trevor... what's wrong?"

"Where's Breenan?"

"Drunk" he says and I roll my eyes. "You okay?"

"Yea..." I said and I don't say anything. I don't want Trevor to come get me. Maybe I'll wait to see if Desi comes home. What if she stays at Aria's tonight?

"Cami... what's wrong?" Trevor says.

"Do you think you can come get me? I'm at my dorm but I'm locked out and Desi isn't here" I said and he laughs.

"Yea, give me about ten minutes"

"Thanks Trev" I said and we get off the phone.
