In the Morning....
3rd POV
Another day, Xylo and Cal have officially moved in and now they are headed to the town to meet with this woman that Xylo knows. Hopefully everything goes well after all it has been a long time.
It wasn't a long drive to the town since it was at least a two blocks away. Once they arrived at the town, Xylo parked the car and they both walked to the market. 
It was extremely crowded since it's common for everyone to have a stall market in the morning at anytime of the week. Xylo and Cal decided to go look around and get some food for the house.
After a few minutes, Xylo hears a familiar voice in the crowd. Xylo looks around in hope to find where the voice came from.
"Xylo?!" A voice said. Xylo turned towards the voice and see his old friend, Andrea.
"Andrea!" He said happily. Andrea walks to Xylo and gives him a big hug. He returns the hug then both separate. Cal is somewhat confused with the moment but catches on quickly.
"Where have you been Xy?! You were missing for nine years!" Andrea exclaimed.
"It's a long story I'll have to explain later, but how have you been?" Xylo asks.
"Mhmmm I attend my dream school, fulfilled my dreams of being a dancer, quit right after I heard you were dead and became Mayor of this town" She says quite casually.
"Wait you quitted your dream job?!" Xylo said in surprise.
"Yeah.... Also mainly because I was grieving over your fake death apparently" Andrea said quite annoyed.
"Oh and how did you get that big scar on your face? When did you get tattoos? And when did you get extremely muscular...?" Andrea says curiously as she observes Xylo's face and pokes his arms.
"Well... uhmm..." Xylo stammered out. While Andrea was poking at Xylo, Cal felt a small wave of jealousy towards Andrea for some reason... He quickly shook it off and continued watching them.
Andrea notices Cal immediately and walks towards him. "Hey I remember you, from yesterday. You must be Xylo's boyfriend! I'm Andrea, it's so nice to finally officially meet you!" 
Both Cal and Xylo freeze at her comment.
"N-no were are not-" Xylo stammered out before Andrea interrupts him.
"Not boyfriends... Fiancés! No wait even better Husbands! Ahhh I'm so happy to finally meet your new husband!!!" Andrea squealed happily as she shakes Cal's hand.
"Uh- well- I- HMMMMMMMMM" Cal stammers out as he and Xylo turn bright red.
"Andrea, this is Cal and no we are not in a relationship, sorry to break it to you" Xylo tells her after calming down.
She gives a smile of confusion and says "Wut?"
"Cal is my friend, not my boyfriend" He slowly say to her.
