Thanks for reading the story! This is a story that I've had written for a while now, just decided to post it. I don't have the ending to it yet, but there are a lot of great things to come!


Angela stared into the mirror. Why had she agreed to go on this ridiculous date with Dr. Jin? Molly was smirking behind her.

"Stop it Molly," Angela insisted.

"I didn't even say anything," Molly teased.

"You were thinking it," Angela accused.

"So I can't even think anymore?" Molly asked.

"No," Angela countered realizing how stupid she sounded. "At least not what you're thinking. I have no interest in Dr. Jin."

"I know," Molly replied casually. She eased herself off the bed. Angela hated when her sister acted like this. Molly knew how to get her going.

"So how are things going with you and Chase?" Angela asked hoping to get the topic off her date. Angela had slowly come to accept the fact that Molly and Chase were now together. Molly shrugged.

"Slow as always," Molly said nonchalantly. "But I'm not letting you change the subject that easily. Really sis, who is it that you really like?"

"No one," Angela answered, pinning the last strand of hair up.

"You look really old like that," Molly said softly.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" Angela asked. She shot an irritated glance at her little sister, who gave her a dazzling smile back.

"Not really," Molly teased. "Now hurry or you'll be late for your date." Molly winked at her. Angela threw an annoyed look at her sister, who merely chuckled in return.

Angela was sitting across the table from Dr. Jin. So far it had been one of the most awkward dates she had ever been on. She could also tell that Dr. Jin was not having the greatest time either. Angela had been distracted by seeing Gray at the bar with the blacksmith Owen, who was at the bar almost every night. Since they had watched the fireworks together, there had been very little interaction between the two of them. Angela could not seem to figure him out. He had been almost cold to her after the interaction at the lighthouse.

Gray's steady blue eyes had gazed at her briefly as she walked in with Dr. Jin. Why was she allowing him to distract her anyway? She had glanced at Gray periodically through the night, and when his gaze met hers, she had felt a small jolt. It was true that she was attracted to him, but he had showed no obvious signs of being interested in her.

Dr. Jin was too quiet and too studious for Angela's taste. He very rarely smiled, and did not have too much to say. She was grateful when Dr. Jin didn't ask if she wanted dessert and just asked for the check. He then offered to walk Angela home.

"No I think I'm going to stay here at the bar for a bit," Angela replied.

"Well thanks for the nice evening,"

Jin replied.

"Thank you as well." Angela watched him walk out the door, and sighed with relief. She walked up to the bar and sat on one of the stools.

"Well that was an awkward date," Molly teased leaning up against the bar next to her.

"Were you listening in on our date?" Angela asked. She scowled at her baby sister. It had i effect, Molly's smile didn't waver.

"Didn't have to, I could tell by both of your guys' body language. Hayden, I think my sister needs a cocktail. Blackberry please. It's on me." Molly then walked away from her sister. Angela sighed, it had been a terrible date. Her head was even starting to hurt. She slowly, one by one, pulled out the pins that held her hair up, as Hayden set down the cocktail in front of her.

"That bad huh?" he asked. Angela nodded.

"Don't know why I even agreed to it in the first place," She placed the pins in the pocket of her jeans, and ran her fingers through her now loose hair.

"It looks better that way," a voice behind her said. She jumped and looked up at Gray who had come up to the counter.

"What?" Angela asked confused.

"Your hair." With that Gray turned to the bartender. "Owen's had too much again. Some water please?" Angela was looking at Gray still. He perplexed her. She turned away when his eyes met hers. This was not going to be happening again. She would have to be more guarded. She did not want these feelings again. When she turned back around Gray was gone, sitting back at the table with Owen. She let out a breath, unaware that she had been holding it.

"So it's Gray huh?" Molly asked on the way home from the bar. Molly did not have to close that night, so both Molly and Angela had decided to walk home together.

"What?" Angela asked.

"Gray, he's the guy that makes you all hot and bothered," Molly said.

"No! Don't be silly," Angela stated.

"Come on Angela, I saw you watching him throughout the night. He was also watching you too. Especially when Dr. Jin was there. He's kinda sexy, I mean for an old guy. Kinda grumpy though."

"Molly stop," Angela insisted. "I am not interested in Gray. I don't want a relationship at all right now."

"Who says you need a relationship? I mean come on, just make out with the guy. I bet he'd be a good kisser," Molly teased.

"Molly!" Angela blushed as her sister laughed.

"Aw come on Angie, I mean I know you are still hurting over Darryn, but a good make out session with Mr. Sexy just might help. It's not like I'm telling you to sleep with him!"

"Will you please not call him that," Angela groaned. Although the thought his lips on hers did make her pulse quicken. She really needed to get Molly to change the subject.

"Just saying." Molly shrugged then let the subject drop. They walked the rest of the way to their home in silence. Angela could not stop wondering what it would feel like to have Gray's lips against hers.
