Was panic showing on her face? Because May was slightly panicking in her head. She felt confused. Had Drew always wanted to ask her out? Has he been having feelings for her? If so, for how long? I mean it's not like she hasn't thought about it before, it's just she never thought it would ever even happen. She had no idea. Has Drew always felt this way? She never looked at him as much more than her friend—her best friend. Yes, she loved him, though. But she loved him as her best friend. She had a boyfriend. She had a sweet and thoughtful—not to mention hot—boyfriend. But Drew as her boyfriend? That would be the whole entire package. Did she want that?

Would she really mind going out with Drew? Maybe, maybe not. Drew has been her best friend since high school and they do have their moments. Yeah, she wouldn't mind dating him, sure. But was there that fire, or spark? She doesn't even know. She felt conflicted.

Drew must've seen the confusion and panic in May's expression. He suddenly felt guilty... and ashamed. Maybe that was too fast and too sudden. And this wasn't exactly the right place and time.

"I'm sorry," he said feeling defeated.

"No, no. It's okay," she said reassuring him.

He shook his head in utter failure getting upset by the embarrassment. "No, it's not. I shouldn't have—"

"How long have you been feeling this way, Drew?" she asked him softly.

He didn't feel like answering that. He didn't want to make the situation worse than it already was. "I can't say," He muttered out in frustration.

"Why not?" she wondered, with a slight frown on her face.

"I just can't!" he snapped getting frustrated at her.

"Okay" she said softly, "because I was going give it a try," she mentioned, with her face turning redder.

"What?" his eyes lit up, not believing what he was hearing.

"I'm saying yes, I'll go out with you grass head. I'll give it a shot," she said with a small giggle.

"You're not kidding July?" he asked her again, wanting to make sure.

She rolled her eyes at the nickname, but shook her head. "I mean, you're aren't going kill me. Besides like I said before, we do have the best friend thing going on for us. And you have always been attractive, it just took me a while to finally notice it…" she said, feeling shy all of a sudden.

Drew smirked at the ego booster, letting out a light chuckle. "Okay Maple," he said.

"Okay Hayden," she echoed with the same enthusiast.

"Okay" he said again. "So, does Sunday sound good?"

"Why Sunday?" she wondered asked him curiously "Why not Friday or Saturday?"

"I have to work on those nights." He admitted, rubbing his hand awkwardly on the back of his neck.

She laughed slightly. "Okay. Sunday it is," she agreed with a smile.

It was typical Thursday night for May—in her pajamas still with hair in a messy pony tail. She was sitting on her couch, snuggled in a comfy blanket, eating ramen and watching another favorite movie. This night, she was watching Something Borrowed. She' read the book and she loved it. And she loves the movie equally. Plus, the guy who plays Dex is super gorgeous!

Someone buzzed in to her apartment, making her jump from the surprise. She paused the film and went to her receiver.

"Hello?" she called out, not expecting a visitor.

"Hey" Brendan's voice aired on. "Can I come up?"

"Sure" she said with a grin. She buzzed him in.

May opened the door when a knock was heard. Brendan stood at her doorstep looking excited.

"Hey?" she questioned him curiously. "What's up?"

"Is Gary here?" he asked, as May let him inside.

"No" she shook her head, closing the door behind her.

He suddenly froze when he caught a full sight of her. He began to blush, "Uh..."

"What?" she looked down and suddenly remembered what she was wearing.

Her loose top was slipping off her shoulder and hung on her left breast from almost falling off completely. What made it worse was that she wasn't wearing a bra. Her hair might be in a ponytail, but it was messy enough to look like she just got out of bed. She was still in her pajamas, in front of him. She felt embarrassed.

She cleared her throat as her cheeks began to burn. She tucked some hair behind her ear, raised her sleeve back up to her shoulder, crossing her arms over her chest to try to hide her herself.

"You were saying?" she asked, trying to change the subject.

"Okay" Brendan continued, "I've been feeling really guilty about blowing you off on our dates or leaving early and stuff—"

"Brendan, you don't have to—" May started but he ignored her.

"—and I've been wanting to make it up to you so..." he got down on one knee, "I know it's a little fast, but..."

May's eyes widened and she gasped. "Whoa! Brendan, what're—NO! This is—" This was too fast, way too fast.

But Brendan wasn't listening. He took something out of his pocket. "Maybelle, do you want to go on a weekend trip with me?"

"Brendan—wait, what?" She looked down and saw him holding car keys. She began to hit him, repeatedly, "Fuck, Brendan! You gave me a heart attack!"

Brendan laughed at his victory and at her reaction as she continued to yell at him. "What the hell are you doing, doing that? Seriously!" she whined dramatically.

Brendan stood up and grabbed May around the waist, calming her down. He kissed her cheek and bare shoulder. "So, will you?"

She sighed softly, slightly remembering Drew, but also remembering her "boyfriend" doesn't know. She felt conflicted.

"What do you have planned?" she asked him, quite curiously.

"It's a surprise, but I promise you'll like it," he whispered in her ear.

She smiled softly as his strong arms wrapped tighter around her. She turned around to face him, but his arms stayed in place. She planted a kiss on his lips before saying, "Yes."

Early the next morning, Brendan picked May up from her apartment, ready to head off to somewhere only Brendan knows.

He opened the door for her and let her in his car. He went to the other side and hopped into the driver's seat. He turned the key in the ignition and started the car. He slowly drove away from the foot of May's apartment building until they were on the streets.

"So, will you finally tell me where we're going?" she asked. "Because I'm starting to think I just walked in to your trap of killing me in an unknown place," she joked.

"Dammit, you ruined the plan!" Brendan acted, playfully.

May punched his arm lightly, "Seriously!" she complained.

"Okay, okay" he let out a laugh, "I'm taking you to Lake May. I got my grandparents' house for the weekend."
May's jaw dropped. "Lake May? Arceus, I've never been there! But I hear it's beautiful... and quite posh," she said slightly nervous. She never did this before, and she couldn't help but feel hesitant about it.

"So, do you like it?" he asked, turning a left.

"Yes" she said with a small smile, "Thank you." She leaned over and planted a kiss on her boyfriend's cheek.

May wasn't sure how long they drove for. But on their way over, they stopped by a fast food place for lunch and had two rest stops for the bathroom. By the time they got to the lake, May was in deep awe. A lake was in full view from where they came from- the sun reflecting perfectly on the clear waters. Rows of white houses stood tall and proud upon the grass all around the huge lake. Brendan stopped the car at a huge white house, partly far from all the other houses.

"Brendan, this is beautiful," May gasped, as they entered the house.

"You think?" he asked, setting their bags down on the floor near the couch.

"Yeah! I mean, THIS is a huge house!" she marveled in awe, "Thank you for this." She walked over to him and gave him a kiss on his lips.

He wrapped his arms around her waist as her hands made their way around his neck.

"You're welcome. You want to rest first or do you wanna go to the lake already?" he asked her with a playful grin.

"Lake!" she cheered excitedly.

May made it to the lake first. Brendan had to answer a call from his parents first asking if they got there alright. May was in her bikini, splashing around in the water. It's been a while since she's been even in the water.

"Hey!" Brendan called out to her

May looked up and found him near their picnic set up. She waved at him to come join her.

"How's the water?" he asked her.

"Perfect!" she called, "Come on, I feel weird being alone here," she pouted, wanting him to come in already.

"Hang on," He reached for the hem of his shirt and pulled it off of his body.

May watched him. And her heart started to beat fast. He had an incredibly sculpted body! His abs were perfectly toned and his arms were amazingly buff. She's always known that he had a great body, but Arceus—"great" was an understatement. Well damn, now she felt like a pervert.

Brendan got in the water and went after May.

"Hey!" he grabbed her from behind, wrapping and arm around her waist. He spun her around the water and threw her back in. May screamed and laughed playfully.

She splashed him in the face, which he happily returned. She pushed him down to the water. But Brendan pulled her down with him, making her land on top of her. She was laughing so hard. But Brendan was just starring at her.

"What?" she asked with a small blush when he noticed his glued stare.

"You're so beautiful Maybelle," he whispered to her.

May blushed, looking down. Brendan's fingertips reached for her chin, bringing her gaze back up to him. He gently pulled her down to him until their lips met into a gentle kiss. She couldn't help but swoon at him, but she felt like their relationship was missing something. She had been feeling this way, ever since Drew asked her out. But she couldn't figure out what it was.
