Michael's POV

"I don't think I should call him so soon! He just gave me his number last night. "

Becky says, "Michael, he said I'd LOVE for you to call me sometime. He wants you to call, asap. "

I'm sitting on my couch holding my phone. Becky is sitting across from me, her legs crossed. We're in my apartment. We've been debating on whether or not I should call. I ask,

"What will I say? "

She smiles and says, "Ask him out on a date. Maybe you'll go get some coffee. "

I blush and say, "I don't know... That sounds so like a cheesy movie. "

She laughs and says, "Just call him. He'll probably ask you. He's probably sitting next to his phone wondering if that sexy guy from the bar is going to call. "

I blush harder and say, "Stop! You're making my face burn! "

We laugh. I say, "I'll call, but only if you stay right here next to me. "

She nods and says, "Agreed. "

Matthew's POV

I pace back in forth in my living room. He's not going to call. I probably bored him to death. I need to talk more. What if he does call? What will I say?

I'll ask him out. Maybe for lunch. Oh, that sounds corny. Maybe it'll work.

There's a knock on my door. I hurry and answer it. It's David. He smiles and says,

"What's up? "

I say, "Hey. "

He asks, "How you doing? "

I shrug my shoulders and say, "Fine. I'll be back to normal in no time. "

He asks, "He call yet? "

"Not ye- "

Ring! Ring! Ring!

I run to my phone and pick it up. I take a deep breath and put it next to my ear. I say,

"Hello? "

David walks in and closes the door behind him. I hear Michael's sweet voice say,

"Hi, Matthew. "

My heart begins to race. I love this feeling. I say,

"Michael, I'm glad you called. "

David puts up a thumbs up. I wave him out of here. He laughs and leaves. I sit on the couch. Michael says,

"I hope I'm not interrupting you. "

I bite my bottom lip and say, "No, not at all. I'm just sitting around. "

He asks, "So, how are you? "

"I'm good. How about you? "

"I'm good too, thanks for asking. "

I clench my jaw, release it, and ask,

"So, Michael, would you like to go out with me? "

There's a pause. I screwed up!

"Yes, I would love too. "

I immediately get nervous. Michael isn't even here and I'm sweating. He asks,

"Are you there? "

I quickly say, "Yeah, Yeah, I'm here. Sorry, I'm just really glad you said yes. "

He giggles and asks, "When would you like the date to happen? "

I say, "I was thinking, today. For..lunch. "

"Sounds great. "

I blush and say, "There's a diner called Huey's. Have you heard of it? "

"Yeah, I have. I love that place. "

I smile and say, "I'll meet you there in 15 minutes? "

"I'll be there. "

"Bye. "

"Bye. "

I hang up. I did it! I freaking did it!

Michael's POV

"I did it! He asked me out! "

Becky jumps up and down on my couch. I join her. She says,

"This is sooo exciting! You'll have to tell me everything that happens! When is it? "

I stop jumping, look at her and say, "Its in fifteen minutes! "

I jump off the couch and run to my room. Becky is close behind. She opens my closet and says,

"Time to pick out the perfect outfit! "
