Hey! It's finally chapter 7! I think you guys are going to like this one, and hopefully there's still more to come :P Well, enjoy!

It was a boring Thursday afternoon and I was sitting in my new studio apartment chewing on the eraser of my mechanical pencil. The clock on the other side of the room mocked me; ticking on and on as if simply reminding me of my struggle with some simple Algebra I'd learned years ago. I needed to relearn everything if I wanted to pass my Finals that were coming up in a week. It had been six months since the T-virus breakout in Harvardville airport. I moved back to D.C. like I told Leon, and was currently finishing my freshman year of college at Ashley's university.

Sighing heavily, I threw my pencil down in defeat and looked over at my still ticking clock. It was almost seven-thirty; Ashley and I were supposed to be going to Ci-Ci's for dinner. I got up and rushed into my bedroom, throwing on my new pair of jeans, a nicer shirt than my blue tank top, my new converse, and touched up my make-up just in time to hear a knock on the door.

"Just a sec!" I called out as I darted from my bedroom to the front door. I opened it expecting to see a blonde woman, but was greeted by a very handsome man instead.

"L-Leon, what are you doing here?" I smiled at him as icy blue eyes stared down at me. He was wearing jeans and a tight navy blue shirt, similar to his black one and was leaning against the doorframe with the slightest hint of a grin on his face. I swear I had never been more attracted to him.

"You forgot this at my place last night." He said as he handed me a gray sweater.

My cheeks flushed as I took it from him. "Sorry… It was just late and I was focused on all the homework I had piled up on my desk."

He smiled and gently tousled my hair, making my cheeks turn a shade or two darker. "Nah, it's cool, I get it."

For a split second I was mesmerized by all his glory, but I quickly snapped myself out of it and regained my composure. "Uhh… I-I'd invite you in but Ash should be here any second and we're gonna grab a bite to eat… you're free to join us if you'd like." I smiled up at him again, hoping he'd accept my offer, only to be let down.

"I'd love to, but I actually just ate right before I came over here. Maybe next time, okay?"

I beamed up at him once more. "I'll be looking forward to it."

He smiled back at me and said, "I'll see you later then?"

I stood on my toes and kissed him carefully on the cheek before grinning and saying goodbye. I was the luckiest girl in the world.

I didn't even have to shut the door before Ashley had shown up. She looked at me with the slyest grin I'd ever seen her wear and said, "So… what was Leon doing over here at your apartment?"

I grabbed my keys, put on the sweater Leon had just returned and stepped into the hallway. "Nothing, he was just giving me the sweater I left over at his place last night." I said as I locked the door.

Her eyes grew wide. "You two had sex and you didn't even tell me?"

I halted immediately and looked at her as if she was crazy—which I was actually starting to believe. "Are you insane? W-we're talking about Leon here! There's no way he'd ever even think about me that way!"

"I dunno… You two have gotten awfully close in the past six months…"

It was true; we'd been technically dating, if you could even call it that, since the whole airport incident. It was a little awkward at first, but after about ten minutes it was just like after Spain where we could talk and joke about anything. We've kissed a few times—well, quite a bit actually, but we've never really discussed any of this. It was totally up to him whether we were considered an 'item' or not.

"Yeah, I mean he did say he was willing to give 'us' a shot, but… the word 'dating' has never been used." I explained.

"Oh come on, you guys are totally going to end up hooking up." She tried saying ecstatically, but I could hear the falseness in her tone.

"Ash… are you alright?" I looked over at her with confusion written all over my face and she immediately pushed away whatever was on her mind.

"Y-yeah, just hungry! Come on let's hurry up and get going, I wanna eat!"

I just played along, but I knew something was bothering her and I wasn't going to drop it there.

Hurray chapter seven is complete! I know I said I'd make these chapters longer, but I thought this would be a good place to stop. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and I hope Leon wasn't too OC :P I've been trying to think of story ideas for when I finish this one, and I've got a few, I just don't know if I'm going to use them or not. I'm really hoping I can find some way to make another story out of this, but I doubt it. I'll probably just end it with this one. But don't worry! I'll make sure it has a super duper totally amazing ending! I will not leave this story if I'm not satisfied with the ending, and half of that satisfaction comes from knowing you guys enjoyed it as well.

Oh yeah, and do I have any Bro's here? AKA: Pewdiepie fans? I have an idea for a story involving him, but I'm not going to give too much away about it. Just let me know if you'd be interested in reading that, and I'll see what I can do!

Once again, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you soon!
