Weeks passed and a lot has happened. August went back to the doctor's clinic with Flynn for the tests. She finally had the books to tutor Pierre and they both agreed to have their tutoring in the school grounds under a tree.
Flynn also visits her at the cafe but he no longer teaches in their department. She learned from him that Morgan offered him the same teaching job but in a different college since he also has a background in Information Technology.
She was at her apartment after Flynn walked her home. She's studying with her eyeglasses, her hair tied in a messy bun wearing his white shirt and boxers that Friday night when the door opened and Flynn came back from his evening run. He's sweating and having deep breaths as he drinks from a bottled water.
She looked at him without moving a muscle from the couch. "How's your run?"
He walked towards her. "Hyped to have fun with you tonight." She blushed, her mouth opened in surprised as he leaned and kissed her lips. "I'll take a shower."
She nodded. He left and went to her bathroom. She's left there with her heart beating so fast. They've been dating for months now and she still can't help blushing and being so affected when Flynn would tease her.
She covered her face with her hands, slapping her face lightly when she felt blood rushing to her face. She remembered his handsome sweaty face and he looked so hot!
She was at that state when the bathroom door opened with Flynn just wearing a towel on his waist while drying his hair. Her mouth dropped, staring at his chiseled abs. She noticed that he seemed to have worked out more, his muscles are more obvious since he arrived from London. Not too buff but just right.
"Wanna go check that event?" Flynn asked when he went inside her bedroom to dress up.
"What event?"
"Pierre's." He came out after a few minutes wearing his jeans, university hoodie and sneakers.
"You wanna go?" She asked when he sat next to her on the couch.
"I mean, we can check it out. Besides—" He leaned to her and whispered. "We didn't go out for a date since I got back from London."
She blushed. "R—Right."
He smiled. "Right, a date. A real one. Although masked dates were really fun, I also wanna go out with you like normal couples do."
"O—Okay." She stuttered. "I'll just take a quick shower and change."
"Okay. I'll wait."

They went to the event at West Park a little late, the line of people were already moving at the entrance. There were stores open for drinks and food.
Hugo just dropped them off and will pick them up after the event. She didn't bother messaging Pierre. But then as soon as they got inside the venue, she bumped into him.
