Recap: Evan and Caroline went out to dinner and afterwards headed to a club to have some drinks. Evan declined the drink, seeing as he was driving back to the hotel, but he kept a watchful eye on the bartender making Caroline's drink. After making sure that everything was alright, the two started to talk about what they liked to have in a partner.

Play It Cool

I followed Caroline to the dance floor and I couldn't help but feel awkward out on the dance floor. Clubbing wasn't my thing but if it's something Caroline wants to do, I was going to do it. Caroline pulled me close to her and wrapped her arms around my neck to say something in my ear. "Don't worry, Evan. You're with me." I smiled and turned her around, pressing my chest up against her back and leaving no space between us. Caroline started to sway to the music and I slowly followed her. The only unfortunate side effect of that was that my pants were getting smaller by the second. I pushed the feeling to the back of my head and continued to sway with Caroline until she pulled me off the dance floor and back to the bar. I carefully watched the bartender, who was glaring at me, as he made Caroline's second drink. I paid the man and led Caroline back to the booths, away from the dance floor. As Caroline was drinking, I let my gaze wander across the club and I have never felt so out-of-place in my life. I'd rather be at home, reading a comic or playing a video game or even reading a good book. Social events were definitely not my thing. I felt someone tap on my shoulder and I turned to see Caroline tilting her head at me. "Something wrong, Evan?" I sighed.

"This really isn't my thing, Caroline. I mean, I really like being with you but this whole club scene isn't for me."

"Why didn't you say so before we came?"

"I thought you wouldn't be okay with that and take off by yourself."

"Has that happened before?" I nodded shyly. "Well, don't worry about that anymore. I don't do that to people. If you want to go, let's go. My feet are killing me anyway."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Come on, let's go out of here." Caroline grabbed my hand, put her glass down and led me out of the club. I handed the valet my slip and he took off to a parking lot to get my car. I noticed a couple of guys across the street eying up Caroline and whispering to each other. I grabbed Caroline's hand and she smiled at me. The valet pulled up with my car and I opened the door for Caroline, closing it behind her once she was in the seat. I tipped the valet and rushed to my seat, peeling out as I headed back to the hotel. "Why are you going so fast, Evan?"

"The guys across from the club were eying you up and I didn't really appreciate it."

"Oh. What is it with guys eying me up? There's gotta be something in the air because that never happens." I laughed as I pulled into the hotel parking garage. "What's so funny?"

"You are gorgeous, Caroline. That is why they eye you up." Caroline just laughed as we headed into the elevator to the hotel. We walked through the lobby and went up to my room. I opened the door let Caroline go in before me. I watched her kick off her shoes and sit down on the couch. She grabbed the remote and turned on the television, to a channel playing an Indiana Jones movie. I smiled, kicked off my own shoes and sat down next to Caroline.

"Better, Evan?" I laughed.

"Much. You don't know how much I appreciate this, Caroline."

"Anything for you, Evan. I mean it. With the mess I've put you through and the fact that you're still here, means that you are very special and I'd be an idiot not to see that."

"Does that mean what I think it means?"

"I'm not sure. Did I just declare that we're dating without missing a breath?"

"I think so."

"Is that good? Is that what we want?"

"It's what I want. How about you?" Caroline looked away for a second which worried me but the grin on her face when she looked at me again, it meant good news.

"It's definitely what I want." I smiled at Caroline and looked down, noticing that she was still in her dress.

"Caroline?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you going to change?" She looked down and nodded.

"Might as well. Be right back, Ev." Caroline stood up and walked to the bedroom and I couldn't keep my eyes off her butt. A few minutes later, Caroline came back out wearing my Green Lantern shirt and a pair of my gym shorts.

"Something tells me you like my Green Lantern shirt." Caroline just shrugged and returned to her place cuddled up against me. "It looks good on you, that's for sure."
