    "Ah come on now, you want me to plan a date last minute? Now that is not very fair." Lance glanced down at himself for a moment. "I am not even wearing something date worthy." He then looked up at Evelyn, chuckling a bit. "Though I don't look so bad next to you. It's clear that you had a very rough night." Walking over to her, he messed up her hair, quickly stepping back before she had a chance to swat his hand away. Lance knew he was pushing his luck but Lance didn't really want to plan their first date like this under these circumstances.

    The man turned around when Evelyn told him too, shifting back and forth on his heels as he wanted or her to be done with changing. "blue?" Lance said to her, unsure. "Wait what are they for?" He asked her, his eyebrows furrowed together. Though he had to assume that it was for her outfit. "Blue looks good on you." He said after a moment.

    Lance started to sigh as it felt like it was taking Evelyn forever to get dressed. And he did not exactly love the fact that there was a naked woman behind him and he was just staring at the wall... but despite that Lance was a bit of a jerk and a playboy, he was respectful. And if someone didn't want him to look, he wasn't going to.

    "Are you done yet? I don't think I can stare at your wall for much longer." Lance told her, a bit of a smirk coming over his face as he suddenly thought of an idea. "What if I counted down from 10 and the moment I hit 1, I turn around no matter what state you are in? Great? You want to play. Okay, 10...9..8..."

    Parting her lips, Evelyn wasn't sure what to say when Lance commented on her color choice for her panties. She had told him to look at her wall, so she knew he didn't know what she was talking about. Yet, she did make that subconscious note in her mind to buy more blue things. Thanking the heavens that the pair she picked had been a cute powder blue and would be able to stay hidden under the light-colored dress.

    "Lance- haven't you-" Evelyn started to chastise her best friend and then froze as she heard him cut her off. The countdown being the only thing that she really focused on as she tried to finish getting dressed before Lance turned around. Sure, he'd seen her naked before, but they were in murky water. He couldn't see shit. Right? This was a whole new situation, wasn't it? They were in her parent's home. In her bedroom for christ's sake. Not to mention her bedroom door was closed and they weren't home. If her parents knew she was naked in front of a boy, not just any boy either. In front of Lance, what would they do? What would they think?

    Hearing Lance getting quite close to one, Evelyn rushed towards her dresser. She pulled open her top drawer and rummaged for a moment to find a strapless bra that would blend in. Cursing under her breath because she had too many black ones or ones with cute designs on them. "You are such an asshole," Evelyn mumbled as she heard him hit zero just as she pulled out the only nude-colored strapless bra she had. Keeping her eyes down, Evelyn didn't want to see in the mirror that was on top of her dresser if Lance was looking at her yet. Holding the piece of clothing to her chest with one hand. Evelyn struggled by herself to buckle her strapless bra in the back by herself.

    A sense of defeat washed over Evelyn, she hated losing. She also hated not being able to do things on her own and buckling a strapless bra when she was nervous and under a time restraint was not fun to her. "Help?" Evelyn mumbled quietly as she slowly raised her gaze to meet Lance's. Her lips pouting as her shoulders slouched. One handheld the strapless bra to her chest while the other fell from her back to her side. "I can't get it with one hand," Evelyn mumbled, her cheeks a little bit pink because she was in the blue panties and a barely-on bra in front of Lance for the first time.

    Once Lance hit zero, the man was laughing hard. He had heard the scrambling that had occurred behind him and he just knew that Evelyn had been in an absolute panic thinking that he really was going to turn around once he was done. He was laughing so hard to the point where he literally had to grab onto the wall in front of him to stop himself from falling over. It took a minute or so but he finally managed to control himself again, wiping the tears from his eyes as he did so.

    "Don't worry, I am not going to turn." The man assured her, a bit of a smirk on his face. "I just wanted to scare you a bit, that's all. Though try not to take too much longer to get ready because this is really boring." He leaned forward, laying his head against the wall as he closed his eyes. Lance didn't understand why Evelyn couldn't just go get changed in the bathroom - or why he couldn't have just left the room for this portion of Evelyn getting ready for their day.

    Lance was quiet for a moment before he heard Evelyn ask him for help. He knocked his fingers against the wall gently, trying to decide if he should turn around because of the fact that she needed help or if it was better to still keep his eyes averted. "Do you want me to turn around and help you or do you want me to keep looking at the wall?" Lance asked her after a moment.

    Perhaps he had freaked Evelyn out a bit too much with the countdown. Though he could not say that he regretted it as he had a great time and the amount of laughing that he had been able to enjoy was totally worth it. "Listen, I'll turn around and help you but I am not going to close my eyes and walk around your room blind."

    It really sucked listening to Lance laugh at her. Her shoulders sank more and she couldn't help but lull her head back and stare up towards the ceiling. Wondering why the hell she was best friends, and now dating? Also engaged as well. One thing was just adding to another thing for Evelyn and she was about ready to pull her hair out. Lance is just so damn irritating sometimes Evelyn often wonders if she should smack him to shut him up or to just walk away. Usually, she just walks away.

    Which is what gave her an idea. "You're so annoying," Evelyn mumbled, loud enough for him to hear but quiet enough to emphasize that she was upset with him. Now knowing that she didn't have to hide her chest from him, Evelyn used both of her hands to put on her strapless bra. Which was much easier now that she wasn't rushing to put it on and fixed it so that it fit her properly. Then, she grabbed the dress she had tossed onto the dresser and slipped it on.

    With one last glance towards the mirror, Evelyn made sure that her ponytail still looked good and the dress was smooth before moving towards her closet once more. "I'm almost done, stop complaining," Evelyn mumbled, still using that obviously upset tone. Grabbing a pair of light pink heels to go with her dress, Evelyn carried them in her hands as she snuck to her door. It was times like this that she was glad that the servants kept things in top shape because not a floorboard squeaked as Evelyn snuck out of her bedroom. A small grin appearing upon her lips as she walked down the hall towards the stairs.

    Once Evelyn reached the top of the stairs, Evelyn grinned herself as she turned towards the hall. "The last one to your car is a rotten egg!" Evelyn yelled as she turned and started to run down the stairs. Laughing because she knew how competitive Lance was and for the fact that she had the upper hand. Although, with how much bigger and faster Lace is, she knew he could still easily win.

    Once Lance suddenly heard Evelyn yelling from outside of the room, he spun around. She wasn't in there. And he could hear her running down the stairs. Fuck. Lance threw the door to her room opened and started to sprint as fast as he could out of the house. He really did not want to be the rotten egg. Although Evelyn had the larger lead, they both got to the front door at the same time. Though Lance had to restrain himself to not shove Evelyn out of the way. He really hated losing.

    But he got an idea as Evelyn went through the door. Lance quickly followed and before she was able to get to his car, he came up from behind her and swooped Evelyn up into his arms bridal style. A chuckle left from Lance as he headed to the car, keeping Evelyn high enough in the air so she couldn't touch it. He then pressed his foot against the car door. "Got there." He teased her. "Looks like your the rotten egg.

    Lance headed over to the passenger side of the car, opening the door and setting Evelyn down in the passenger seat. Though, this time, before he pulled back to head to his side, Lance leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss against her cheek. "You look lovely." He murmured to her gentle. Though his eyes glanced down at her pink dress for a moment. "Though I thought you were going to wear blue?"

    A loud shriek mixed with a laugh escaped from Evelyn as she felt Lance's hands on her. Then another erupted from the young girl as she felt her body being lifted up into the air. Her arms moving to wrap around Lance's neck scared that he'd get the idea of dropping her in his head or something. "Lance!" Evelyn drawled out and laughed as they arrived at his car. Her eyes did a small roll as she shook her head at him.

    "You cheated, the win doesn't count," Evelyn mumbled and pouted as she loosened her grip around his neck as she slid down onto the seat. Her lips turned up into a small smile, feeling the small bit of affection that Lance offered. Although, the warm feeling blooming inside of Evelyn quickly vanished as Lance asked about what she was wearing. Shit, he really thought that she was asking about what everyone else was going to be seeing? Not one to feel comfortable telling someone an embarrassing truth so blatantly, Evelyn lied. "You pissed me off, so I decided to wear this instead."

    Reaching up, Evelyn placed her hand on Lance's forehead and pushed him away from her. "I'm hungry, Can we get some food?" Evelyn asked as she retracted her hand and then offered him an innocent little smile because she wanted to get her way. Like the spoiled little Princess that he and their families treated her most of the time.

    "You cheated first." Lance pointed out to her. "So I should still win. I made the race fair again." Though as Evelyn started to lie to him, Lance let out a bit of a hum. They had known each other for years. There were times when he knew his friend was lying to him. Lance reached over and lightly took her face into his hand. Why she was lying about changing her outfit though was beyond him. It probably was because Evelyn liked the pink one better, not because he pissed her off. "I can tell that's not the reason why." Lance mumbled to her. "Though the pink one is pretty on you."

    Just before he was going to lean in to give her another kiss, Evelyn was pushing him away by his forehead. The man let out a chuckle and released his hand on her face. "Yes, we can go get some food." He murmured to her, closing her door before heading over to his side of the car. Lance slipped in and started it up after pulling on his seatbelt. Though when it started, Lance leaned back into the seat. Where should they go?

    His eyes glanced over at the clock. Well, it was about lunch time right now. And while the man was hungry, he wasn't so hungry that he wasn't willing to wait for something good to be cooked. His eyes shifted over to Evelyn. Besides, she had already made it clear that this was a date and he was picking where they were going. Although the man wished he had more time, Lance was willing to play this game. So he pulled out onto the road and drove off.

    A small huff escaped from Evelyn as she rolled her eyes. She hated when Lance tried to use logic against her, especially when she was hoping to keep the upper hand. So, maybe she did have a competitive streak like him. Which was what led to the reason they often fought about. Competing was in their blood when it came to winning, rather it is who got the better grade on a test or a little game like that. It's what kept their friendship together for so long honestly.

    Reaching up, Evelyn slowly pulled on her ponytail and pulled the elastic from her hair. Then, she has her hair in a small tussle before pulling down the small mirror in the car. A small smile played along Evelyn's lips as she took in her appearance. Yeah, she looked better in the dress with her hair down. Less stuck-up looking and a little bit more fun. Putting the mirror back up, Evelyn glanced towards Lance and then looked out towards the road through her side window.

    A couple of moments later, Evelyn opened her mouth to speak. "Are you nervous?" Evelyn asked, turning her head to look towards her friend. "About the up-coming game, we're facing our team's rivals or something. Right?"

    Lance glanced over at Evelyn for a moment as she started asking him about the game this Friday. He knew that Evelyn didn't have an interest in sports. It definitely wasn't her thing and the only reason she would watch any of it was because of him. Though he did find it really sweet of her to take an interest in his games. He appreciated that she cared about the things that he cared about. "I am a little nervous. It is my last year and I don't want to fuck it up. I want this school to remember how great I was." He told her honestly. "But I am not too worried about it either. We have worked really had, and I think I am better at the game than I ever was before. We have a real chance at winning on Friday."

    Lance tapped the steering wheel twice before continuing on. "Are you going to come and watch me on Friday?" He finally asked. "I know soccer is not really your thing but it is against Pond city. Which means it'll be energetic, lots of people around going crazy. The student section should at least be fun."

    He paused for a moment. "I would understand if you don't want to come though. Like I said, I know soccer is not really your thing. And I wouldn't want you to be bored out of your mind for two hours."

    It surprised Evelyn to hear Lance actually admit to feeling nervous. It was such a rare occurrence that she was pretty sure that she could count on one hand how many times he had admitted that. Pursing her lips together, Evelyn rested her head against the back headrest and listened intently as Lance spilled to her. "I believe in you." She said quietly and then looked forward as she thought that Lance was finished. She hated soccer, it was such a boring sport. Although, she liked to practice. Especially when Lance and some of the others would take their shirts off and show off how nice their muscles are. Glistening with sweat and seeming to glow in the afternoon sunlight.

    "Hm?" Evelyn mumbled and turned her head to look towards Lance once more. Her lips pursing into a thin line as she caught on to what he was saying. She really didn't want to go and watch the game. She knew that Lance knew that she hated sports, but. It was sweet that he was trying to coach her into coming and watching "Hm, I don't know." She said, a bit of a teasing tone to her voice. "Only if this cute guy on the team's going to be playing, he's a starter. You might know him." Evelyn glanced at away as she pretended to try and think about something. "I think his jersey number is nineteen or something. He's really cute, and I wouldn't mind his number. If you can get it for me, then I'll come." She might not watch all of the games, but Evelyn knew his jersey number and position's on the team by heart. She just doesn't let Lance know she does in fact keep tabs on him so often.

    "We should do something to celebrate your win," Evelyn said quietly, glancing towards Lance once more. A small smile playing along her lips. "Think about what you'd want to do, and I'll plan it for you." Then, Evelyn leaned shifted so that she could lean over and pressed a quick kiss to Lance's cheek before sitting back down in her seat. "That was for luck." She explained, her cheeks turning a light pink color.

    Lance was not all that surprised when Evelyn started to say that she didn't know if she would come. He knew that she didn't like soccer. So it was probably something that she would not look forward to. Though, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in knowing that Evelyn would not come to - what was most likely to be - the biggest game of the year. But he immediately started to perk up as Evelyn continued on.

    She knew his number? Of course she knew his number... Evelyn may not care about soccer but she did care about him. "I am pretty sure you already have my number. Otherwise, I do not know who I have been talking to all of these years." Lance said with a chuckle. "Though glad to know that you think I am pretty cute." He shook his head a bit at her at the thought of it. Lance was more than cute. He knew he was fucking hot.

    "I'll have to think about what I want then." Lance said. Though as she kissed his cheek, he smiled wildly. "You'll have to give me a real kiss on gameday." He told her, giving Evelyn a wink as he did so.

    He pulled up to his favorite restaurant, The Purple Monarch. It was ran by his father's old college friend and sold Italian cuisine. Lance headed over to her side of the car, opening up the door for Evelyn before he assisted her out.

    "Wouldn't it be weird if I actually gave you the wrong number and all these years you were just talking to one of my family's staff instead or something?" Evelyn asked as she glanced out the window as she spoke. Her lips moving into a small smile. She was so freaking glad that Lance seemed to want to drive away from their usual spots. Going to a place that was a little farther away. She wasn't sure how she'd feel if she had to see people she goes to school anytime soon.

    "We'll see." That was all Evelyn said when Lance said he wanted a real kiss from her. They just confessed to liking each other and he already wanted a kiss on the lips? Evelyn's head was spinning just thinking about that because sure, it might not seem like a big deal to Lance but for Evelyn it kinda was.

    As Lance pulled into the restaurant parking lot, Evelyn couldn't help but look around in interest. "I don't know if I've been here." Evelyn said as she stepped out of the car with Lance's help "Thank you." She said quietly as she looked up towards the restaurant and took in the outer appearance. "The place looks beautiful from the outside." She said as she glanced up at Lance as she waited for him to lead the way into the restaurant.

    "I am not sure that you have been either." Lance said as he started to walk towards the restaurant. It was one that his family attended from time to time but he did not believe he ever brought Evelyn here. "A friend of my father owns the restaurant though so I have been here often enough. I think you will really enjoy it." He glanced over at her, offering a gentle smile.

    His eyes refocused on what was in front of him, opening the door to the building for Evelyn to walk in first. Lance headed inside and walked over to the hostess stand. Though before he could even say a word, the hostess smiled at Lance and started to speak. "Mr. Hawthrone, please follow me to your table." The woman said as she grabbed two menus and then lead them through the restaurant.

    They were brought to the patio, taking the table that was more hidden by the gardens that surrounded the restaurant. Lance pulled back a chair for her, pushing it in once Evelyn sat down. He then headed across the table and sat down. The hostess set the menus down and went on her way.

    "Hmm, I'm sure I'll like it. I've not liked must that you've introduced me to." Evelyn said quietly as she glanced up at Lance and smiled back at him. That was the truth, they've known each other for years and Evelyn could on one hand how many things Lance had shown her that she wasn't a fan of. Sports being the biggest one, but she'd still come along and watch him play whatever or go to a pro game with him. As long as Lance was around, then Evelyn could get through things.

    "Thank you," Evelyn said quietly as they were led to the table and sat down in her seat. "So, what do you recommend?" Evelyn asked as she picked up her menu and glanced at it. There were quite a few things that sounded list that sounded amazing to her. So many things that Evelyn was sure she'd love. Though, since Lance had been here a couple of times, she was sure he'd have a good insight on things. "Oh, they've got caramel hot chocolate!" Evelyn said and grinned. Hot chocolate was something that Evelyn was addicted to, ever since she could remember. If she saw hot chocolate on a menu, then she'd order it for dessert after having a big meal.

    When the waitress came over for their drink order, Evelyn glanced up at the girl. Ignoring the fact that she was staring at Lance like she wanted to jump him. "I'll just have water for now," Evelyn told the woman and glanced back down at the menu as she got the reading this woman was going to give her attitude if she looked at her any longer than necessary.

    "On our way here, I saw a small shopping center. Do you want to go check it out after we eat?" Evelyn asked as she glanced at Lance once the waitress left to get their drinks ready. "I could use some new sunglasses."

    "That is true. I do have very good taste." The man said with a chuckle. Though it also helped that most things that Lance brought Evelyn to were of the highest quality. It was a bit harder to dislike something when you were participating in the best of that thing. Perhaps there were other things that Lance could introduce her to. Now that they were dating, they would probably be doing a lot of things together... Well they already did but he supposed their hobbies would need to upgrade a bit to things couples could do? Maybe not... Lance really did not have an idea on how relationships like this worked.

    Once they were sitting, Lance's eyes moved over the menu. It changed seasonally to provide only the best. Though there were some things on the menu that stayed year round. So it did not take him too long to determine what he wanted to eat, at which point the man closed the menu. When the waitress came over with their drink order, Lance ordered himself a glass of water as well before turning his attention back to Evelyn with a warm smile.

    He had noticed the way the woman looked at him. It was something that occurred to him from time to time. Even more often when Lance worked his magic on them. What could he say, he was very charming. Though he liked Evelyn, for a long time. He wasn't going to fuck this up for some random one night stand. Lance reached out, lightly taking her hand into his.

    "We can stop by the mall after. Though I am not going to let you pull me around for hours again." Lance joked lightly. "Maybe an hour and that's it. I can't keep watching you take two hours to try on shoes and then not buy any of them."

    Shifting her gaze away from the menu as she felt Lance grab her hand, a small smile slowly formed on her lips. Followed by a small laugh. "I can't help it, they looked cute on display but all felt terrible on," Evelyn said as she tried to defend herself. Following up everything by sticking her tongue out at Lance. "Maybe an hour a store, though. I don't know what the stores are there and want to make sure I don't miss anything cute."

    When the waitress came back with their water and took their order for food. Evelyn made sure to keep her hold on Lance's hand. Her thumb slowly running back and forth along with it as she glanced towards her boyfriend's slash fiance. Man, it was going to be confusing when they talked to people. To the public, they were engaged but to each other, they just started to date. Going from best friends to fiancees and then-boyfriend and girlfriend was confusing.

    "My mom texted me last night before I passed out," Evelyn said quietly as she pulled her hand away from Lance as she sat up straight in her chair. "She told me that she got us a private viewing at Lambardi's to pick out rings." Lombardi's was a high-end jewelry place that Evelyn and Lance's mothers both loved. The cheapest things the store usually sold was around fifteen grand if people were lucky. "She said that they're going to pull all of the hottest sellers of the season out for us, as well as next year's expected sellers." Raising a hand, Evelyn ran it through her hair and let out a small sigh. Bringing up things for the engagement and wedding was causing her to feel exhausted already.

    Lance started to shake his head at her though there was a smile on his face as he did so. "No, I am giving you two hours total. I'll leave you there if you want to stay longer and you can someone else to come to pick you up." He teased her, a grin on his face. No, Lance would never actually leave her in the mall, although it was tempting at times. He didn't hate shopping but damn, Lance just couldn't do it for hours as she could. At some point, he just got bored looking at what was essentially the same thing over and over again, just from a different brand.

    Once the waitress came back, Lance ordered for himself before turning his attention back to Evelyn. He wondered now that he was dating someone, if other women would start to notice, perhaps leaving him alone. Is that how it worked? Did other women just know when a man was taken somehow? He knew that it sounded ridiculous but Lance would believe it if they somehow were just able to tell. Women were.... highly perceptive. Though maybe it wouldn't change anything? After all, no one seemed to pay attention when Evelyn was with him before. But maybe it had been easy to tell they were just friends?

    Evelyn's words brought him out of his thoughts and he offered a warm smile before even hearing what she had said. "Hm?" Lance responded with. Though it suddenly processed in his head and the man let out a little chuckle. It was crazy to think they were already engaged. Though it was what it was. "Okay, that sounds good." He said, giving her a little smile. Lance was not going to stress himself out with this wedding stuff. Between their families, there were enough people going to try and take over for what they wanted. Although getting married still seemed crazy to him, he wasn't going to worry about the actual wedding. "I mean, you should have fun picking out your perfect ring for hours."

    The fact that her mother had the whole store close just so that she and Lance could pick out rings, cause Evelyn to feel extremely self-conscious. The staff was nice enough though, they closed the blinds for the store so that onlookers didn't try and spy on the young couple and they were offering them wine to drink as they looked at the rings. An, to be honest, the wine drinking was the best thing about this whole ordeal. Well, of course spending Lance's family's money was fun as well.

    "What do you think of this one," Evelyn asked Lance as she looked at this pretty ruby ring with a black band and small diamonds on it. "I feel like it screams me, but so does this one." Evelyn said as she pointed towards the one that she had first picked out when she started to look at the rings in the store. They had around thirty rings to look through, and Evelyn's head was just swirling around because a lot of them looked the exact same to her but were different prices. All because of the simple little stones that were placed along with the bands.

    Releasing a small sigh, Evelyn stood up straight and slowly ran her right hand through her hair. "Why does ring shopping have to be so stressful?" Evelyn asked as she slowly reached out to her glass of wine and took a small sip from it. "Would you both like to write a little message inside of the rings for each other?" One of the workers asked, which caused Evelyn to glance towards Lance, waiting to see what he'd say and then just roll with whatever he decided. To be honest, though, Evelyn would love to think up something to put inside of Lance's ring but she really had no idea what.

    Lance was rubbing his head as Evelyn was looking through all of the rings. At first, the man thought this would be on the more fun side. Just going in, looking at some jewelry and then making their way home. Plus, he had thought that Evelyn would just pick the one that she liked the most. It felt like his opinion essentially would not matter - which was fine, after all, he was not going to be wearing this ring for the rest of his life, she would be. Though it had quickly gotten a little overwhelming. Ring after Ring had been brought out and Evelyn actually cared about what he thought. Plus, even when the man thought Evelyn was close to picking one, the jeweler would come back with more in that similar style. God, at this point every ring was beginning to look the same to him.

    "I like them both," Lance said as he lifted his head to look at Evelyn. Immediately, he knew his response to her was not good enough. Just saying 'they are both nice' is not helpful. But, at the end of the day, he wanted her to like the ring, not to just pick one out because he liked it. "I like the blue one more." He said after a moment. "Though you should make sure you pick out the one you like." Lance told her. "So if you like the ruby one more, that is the one you should pick."

    He brought a hand up and ran it through his hair before moving forward and leaning against the counter with his elbows on it. That was when the man asked about the inscription. And it took a moment but Lance realized that both the staff and Evelyn were waiting for his response. Why did this have to be his decision? Hell, what was he even going to write on it? 'I hope this works out'... 'Sorry our parents forced us into an arranged marriage'? Hell they just started dating today!

    Lance laughed a bit awkwardly. "How about we pick out a ring first and determine if an inscription would even fit." He said, picking up a ring with a thin band. "Surely an inscription would not fit on this one, for example."

    A small sigh escaped from Evelyn as she rolled her eyes and glanced back down towards the rings once more. The two that she had picked out were both beautiful. As well as different, which was what she wanted. She wanted different, she wanted fun. Evelyn hated fitting into a mold, and the same went with Lance. That was why they were so good together. The two of them weren't made to the mold that their parents wanted for them.

    Then, ignoring what Lance was saying about the inscription Evelyn started to look over the bands for the guys. They had such simple bands and it was kinda sad, then she laid eyes on one that was different. It also looked similar to what the ring she picked out looked like, well at least the colors of it were similar. "We'll take this band for him," Evelyn said as she motioned towards Lance with her head, keeping her eyes on the band that she had picked out for Lance. Raising her gaze towards the sales manager who was helping them, Evelyn mumbled something to the man quietly. He nodded and offered her a small smile before retrieving the rings that they'd be buying.

    "Alright, everything's set," Evelyn said as she looked towards Lance as she stood up straight. A grin playing upon her lips as she walked towards him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Acting like she was giving him a hug as she rested her chin against his chest. "That wasn't so bad, now was it?" Evelyn asked as she blinked up at Lance innocently. Then, she acted fast and grabbed his wallet from his back pocket. A teasing grin appearing upon her lips. "Gotta pay up," Evelyn said as she waved Lance's wallet and brought it with her as she walked towards the cash register. "Your money's now my money," Evelyn said as she gave Lance a teasing grin before sticking her tongue out at him as she opened his wallet to grab his black card. Only to have a couple of condoms fall out. Which resulted in Evelyn's cheeks turning a light pink as she felt a huge rush of awkwardness wash over her. Causing her to make a mental note to kill Lance when they were alone.
