A/N: OMG! The things I would do to just get one hug from him.

One Week Later.....

Seth's POV:

Another week had passed and I knew Dean would be here any day. I just didn't know which day. I never did reply to Dean's text last week. I just couldn't. I didn't know what to say. I didn't even know if he was meant to send that to me. Maybe it was an accident. He didn't say anything else after that.

It was another Saturday. I actually invited Chad to come over later. I really needed to talk to him. I finally had an answer for him. He wasn't coming over for a good hour so I invited AJ and we were both playing video games.

"Oh my god! That's not fair." AJ whined.

"Yes it is. I won fair and square." I said.

"Urrgghh, I don't wanna play anymore." she said.

"Okay." I laughed. "So, have you talked more to Punk then?"

"Yeah, turns out his name is Phil but he likes to be called Punk. We're actually gonna hang out tomorrow."

"Ooooohhh, a date." I teased.

"It's not a date. We're just hanging out." she said, blushing.

"That's exactly what I said to you but you didn't believe me." I said. "It's a date."

"Rollins." she said in that scary voice which meant you better not even try to mess with her.

"Okay. It's not a date." I said, slightly terrified for my life.

"What about you and Chad?"

"Nothing!" I said quickly.

"Um...." she said. 

"There's nothing." I muttered.

Half an Hour Later.....

AJ had left and I was now baking with Sasha and Roman. Well, that's what we originally planned. Roman was messing about with the cookie dough and somehow flicked a huge blob on my face. 

Five minutes later, there was cookie dough everywhere and all over us.

"Aaahhh!" Sasha squealed as I pulled her in front of me as Roman threw a huge blob of cookie dough.

"Seth? What the fuck?!" Sasha yelled as I laughed and grabbed more cookie dough, smearing it all over her face, making Roman and I laugh even more.

"You guys are getting it big time." Sasha said before grabbing a huge amount of cookie dough and chasing Roman and I as we both screamed like little girls.

"Roman, protect me!! I laughed.

"What?!"

"You're the bigger one. Help meh!" 

"Nah-"

He stopped when a huge amount of cookie dough landed on his face, making me laugh. Sasha continued chasing us as we ran around the living room. Suddenly, the front door opened and in walked Chad, who looked at us with wide eyes.

"Whoa!" he chuckled.

"Chad?" I said in surprise. "You're half an hour early."

"I know but I was bored so I thought I should come earlier. Starting to think I should've called you first." he said, looking at the cookie dough everywhere.

"Okay, just so you know......Roman started it!" 

"What? Seth? Get back here!" he exclaimed as I ran upstairs laughing. 

My phone rang so I picked it up after seeing AJ's name.

"Hey AJ."

"Hi, I'm gonna come round again in a few. My parents are going out and I don't wanna be here alone."

"Okay, that's fine. See you in a few."

I took a quick shower and changed into some fresh clothes before heading downstairs, seeing everything was clean again.

"Seth, we're going to shower." Sasha smiled.

"Okay and please be quieter in there. Last time, I swear I was scarred." I chuckled, making them both blush before leaving.

"So...." Chad said.

"Sorry. We were messing around and got carried away."

"It's all good. It looked like fun." Chad smiled.

"Well, it was."

"Soo....did you think about what I said?" he asked.

"Ummm...yeah I did." I said.

"So will you go out with me?"

"Here's the thing Chad. I never told you but before I came here to go to college, I was in another relationship."

"Oh..." he said. "Is it long distant then?"

"No." I said. "Some things happened and....we broke up." I said, whispering the last part.

"Oh. I'm really sorry Seth." 

"No, it's okay." I said. "It was over a year ago but...I just don't know if I'm ready for another relationship. I really loved him and when we broke up, I was crushed and I didn't know if I would ever be able to move on. Then you came along and I started doubting myself. I didn't know if I liked you or not. I tried so hard to convince myself. You're a really great guy Chad but I just don't know if I'm ready for a relationship yet."

"Is there anything I can do to change your mind?"

"I....I don't know Chad. I'm really sorry."

"Can I at least try one thing?"

"What?" I asked.

He started leaning in, making my heart stop. Was I ready for all this? Weirdly, I felt myself leaning in too. Just as our lips were about to touch, the doorbell went, making Chad and I jump back.

"Sorry, that's probably AJ. She said she was coming." I said as I got up and Chad nodded.

I answered the door and felt my heart explode and butterflies flutter uncontrollably.
