Chapter 4

A/N Oh my god I didn't realize it's been so long, sorry! This chapter isn't too long but it was a bit hard for me to write and took me a while. Hopefully this helped me get through my block, but we'll see. I've got the rest of the story planned out though so I should be able to update faster.


I awake to the bring sun lighting up the entire room. I groan and roll over, eyes squinting as I see that the curtains have been pulled back. I look back searching for her, but she's not there. I slowly sit up and look around the room still unable to see her. I sigh remembering last night and get out of bed. Her stuff is still here so at least she hasn't left. I enter the bathroom and brush my teeth before taking a quick shower. Once I'm out, I take some time to figure out my next move and decide to call her as I go down to get some breakfast. She doesn't pick up and I get a little frustrated. I walk out the elevator and as I walk into the eating area I notice her brunette head in the corner, eating alone. I walk over to her and sit down wanting to talk to her. "Hi Sara."

"Oh! Hi Tegan, sorry I didn't want to wake you and I had a slight headache so I came down for some coffee," she smiles at me and my mood alters for the better.

"I called you though, why didn't you pick up? I wanted to talk to you."

"Um," she checks her pockets, "I might've left it upstairs, sorry," she apologizes again.

"That's alright," before I can ask about last night she asks me if I have eaten.

"Not yet," I tell her.

"Oh you have to try to pastries they have. They're amazing," she says excitedly. I just smile at how cute she is and decide to put off the serious talk. We're here to have fun so I'll save it for the car ride home or something.

We spend the next few hours just relaxing and talking with the newly weds. Sara settles in with my friends well and we get taking. Soon enough it's almost time to leave. Leave to late and we'll be stuck in the rush hour jam getting home. After a quick lunch at the café, we both say our goodbyes and get into the car to start our way back., agreeing that I'll be the one to drive first.

I put in the Lucius CD and our journey starts off in silence as we both admire the view. Sara once again takes a nap, but wakes up about a third of the way. Nearing the end of our ride I suddenly remember what I was going to ask her. "Sara," I say getting her attention.

"Yes?" she turns to face me.

Not quite knowing how to start to conversation, I settle on, "Um, about yesterday, I asked you a question. Are you only with me for the sex? Because it sure seemed that way last night."

I hear a sigh and she turns away to look out the window. For a second I think she's purposely ignoring me, but then she speaks up. "No, oh my god, no," she says putting her hands to cover her face. "I'm sorry, I just… haven't done this in a while. Relationships I mean," another sigh comes out of her before she finally looks at me and continues. "I really like you Tegan, I just don't really know what I'm doing yet."

I don't quite know what I'm thinking but I ask her, "Sara, will you be my girlfriend?"

"What? Tegan did you not listen to me?" she asks bewildered.

"Of course I listened, and yes, it's soon. We've been on one date but just give it a go, who knows what will happen? Please?" I've always been a bit unexpected, but this one is just crazy. For one, we barely know each other and two, our one date was being my plus one at a wedding and that's not typically first date material. But I don't care. I like Sara and if we're still going to be together, I can't be used for the sole purpose of her pleasure. I need to know if I at least have a chance.

"So Tegan, you buy a stranger a drink, convince them to dance with you, take them on one date, which happens to be your plus one at a wedding I might add, then ask them to be your girlfriend? Do you always do this? I mean do you really think it works?"

"Nope, but you're special," I look over at her beautiful face plastered with confusion and surprise. "And just don't put it that way," I can't help but giggle at how stupid it sounds.

"And why am I so special?"

"Because I think it will work, and you'll say yes."

"I don't know Tegan," She sighs again as she looks down to her lap and a different Sara comes before my eyes. Her confident composure alters and I see a more fragile person. It seems like she's either extremely inexperienced in relationships, or her previous one ended horribly. I think the latter suits her better. I have no idea what happened but I intend to find out and fix whatever was broken.

"I'll be nice and we'll go slow okay, c'mon, just give us a try,"

She gives it a second thought before nodding, "Okay." A smile reaching ear to ear appears across my face and I pull over for a minute. She leans in and captures me with her lips. All I can do is smile into the kiss and hug her tightly. "See, I knew you were special."
