“Hey, ladies first, remember?” Sterling teased with a grin as he moved to take the door from her.
I Need Another Shipping O/O... (Closed)

Willow rolled her eyes and laughed, allowing him to take the door from her. "Such a gentleman," she teased back playfully.

"Chivalry isn't dead, folks!" Sterling joked with a grin as he followed her out the door.

Willow covered her laugh with a hand, and turned towards him once he let the door close. She ran a hand up and down her arm, a nervous habit of hers. "Uh, Sterling? Thanks for letting me sit with you guys today," Willow gave him a bright smile.

“Yeah, it was no problem. It was cool talking to you,” Sterling said, giving her that famous half-grin. “You taking a bus today?”

"Ah, no," she bashfully rubbed the back of her neck, and pointed to her old Ford 250. "I just hope it starts."

Sterling glanced at the car and chuckled. “Man… Yeah. I’m actually right next to you, too,” he said, walking over to the black Mustang.

Willow blushed, remembering she almost hit the car this morning. She would've been more careful if she knew it was the Sterling Ainsley's.
"Nice car," she called before getting in her own truck. She slid the keys into the ignition and turned them. And turned them. And turned them.
Her mom was going to kill her for this. This was the third time since the school year began that her stupid car wouldn't start. Willow put her head in her and hands. What am I going to do?
group
Sterling glanced over at Willow, hearing her trying to start her car. He climbed out of his own and walked over, tapping on the window a couple of times to catch her attention.

Willow heard the tapping, and opened her car door, peeking over the top. "Sterling?"

“Need a ride?” Sterling asked, a hint of laughter in his voice as he smirked at her.

Willow blushed. "Uh, yeah, that would be nice," she stumbled over her words. She locked her car door, even though no one would want to steal this rust bucket, and followed Sterling to his car.

“All right, then. Hop in,” Sterling said, moving to the passenger door and opening it for her. “I’ll need your address, too.”

(I apologize that I haven't been on; I had some family stuff going on)
"Thanks, Sterling, it's much appreciated." Willow climbed in. She debated to tell him the address right away, or having him park a little from her house. She knew she didn't live in a nice neighborhood, and with someone with as much money as Sterling, it felt embarrassing. "I, uh, I live at 189 24th Street," she said, choosing not to meet his eyes.
group
(No worries! I totally understand! I’m pretty busy, too.)
Sterling nodded and shut the door behind her before making his way around the vehicle. Once he was in, he typed Willow’s address into his phone.
“All right, we’re all set. You ready?” he asked as he buckled himself in.

"Yep!" Willow said, popping the p. With a click from her seat belt, she leaned back in the chair. What am I going to do about that car?
group
“I’m sure I could get someone to tow your car to the mechanic if you’d like,” Sterling said as he backed out, almost like he’d read her mind. “I know a guy.”

Willow's eyes light up. "Really? That'd be great, actually!" She beamed at him. Tow trucks are so expensive these days… she thought, sourly remembering the past times her car broke down.
group
“Cool! I’ll call as soon as I get you home. Sound good?” Sterling asked, glancing over at her with a smile before turning his attention back to the road.

"Yes! Thank you so much, Sterling." Willow sent him a dazzling smile. But her face soon contorted in confusion. How will I know it got picked up?
"Hey, can I have your phone number?" She soon turned red as a strawberry, and hastily tried to fix her mistake. "I-I mean, like, uh, to kn-know when my car is picked up! That's it!" Willow mentally facepalmed herself. Of course I gotta act awkward in front of the cool guy, nice going Willow.
group
Sterling grinned and chuckled a bit. He was aware of the effect he had on girl, even if he didn't notice all the stares he got in the halls.
"Of course. It's…" He rattled off his number to her, hoping she was writing it down or something.

Willow pulled out her phone and hastily wrote down the numbers while they were still fresh in her mind. She was absolutely rubbish at remembering certain things. "Uh, thanks," Willow could still feel her cheeks burning, and she stared at her hands instead of meeting his eyes.

“So, how were your classes today?” Sterling asked as he turned into a different street.

"Good, I guess. Yours?" Willow said, staring out the window as the town passed by.

“They were all right. Boring, as usual,” Sterling chuckled.

"Cheers to that," Willow giggled. A glance out the window, and she saw they were going down her road. She pointed at one of the rundown houses with chipped paint. "That's mine, right there."
group
“All right,” Sterling said as he pulled into the driveway. He parked the car and looked over at Willow with a smile. “I’ll let you know when they get your car, okay?”

"Okay," Willow said, and opened the car door. She debated in her head whether to invite him in or not. That was common courtesy, right?
She poked her head back in the car. "Hey, uh, do you wanna come inside? Like for a snack or something? For me to return the favor, I mean." Willow laughed to play off her nervousness.
group
Sterling gave her a half-grin, one that had almost gotten him into trouble numerous times. “That sounds nice. Thank you. Your parents wouldn’t mind?”
