Shawn Brady pushed open the door to Dot Com and glanced around looking for a pretty blonde. He saw her sitting alone at a two-person table drinking a Dot Com coffee. He casually walked over to her although his heart was beating out of his chest.
" Oh hi Shawn, are you looking for someone?" Belle Black asked, 'I really hope not' she thought to herself.
" Yeah, actually I am," Shawn replied
Belle felt a rising sinking feeling in her chest.
" Oh, okay," Belle added regretfully and Shawn could tell something was wrong.
" I'll let you get back to looking for your friend and I'll just sit here…" Belle told him before he interrupted.
" Belle be quiet. I was looking for you." Shawn told her with a shy smile.
" You were? But why?" asked Belle brightening a little.
" I had to ask you something. Mind if I sit down?" Shawn told Belle.
" No not at all, I'd love to have company. What did you have to ask me?" Belle asked again.
Shawn sat down hoping and wishing.
' I bet this is what a heart attack feels like. I think my heart will pop out of my chest'
" Um Belle, I was wondering, well are you doing anything… I mean I was wondering if, well um…" Shawn was stuttering.
'I'm sounding like a fool. I just need to ask her' he thought.
" If you're not doing anything will you go to the movies with me tonight, and maybe dinner?" he asked hopefully.
" I'd love to. I really would. Can you pick me up at six?" Belle asked.
" Yeah of course. There's just one more thing I have to ask you." Shawn asked.
" Go ahead." Belle replied
" Why are you acting so weird?" Shawn asked
Belle stared at him with a horrified look.
