The next morning started with a slam and followed by screaming, so I had no motivation to get out of bed and I didn't-not until my parents left.
After, I heard their car pull out I got out of bed and put on my running clothes. I had to stay active because I did not want to get a beer gut; that would not get me any points in attractiveness and I was trying out for the cross country team on monday.
I went downstairs put on my sneakers and walked to the front lawn to stretch down before my run. The run did not last very long, but it was fast paced and I was exhausted by the time I got back.
After, I stretched down and went inside the house to make my breakfast: cantaloupes, yogurt, water, and tea. and then cupcake started going crazy at the door , so I went and opened the door to see if there was something going on outside. "Embry" I exclaimed.
"Hey Celia I was ringing the doorbell and no one answered -I starting to think no one was home" he said with a sweet smile..
"Yeah that has never worked, but luckily we have Cupcake, she is a pretty good alert system. Why don't you come in?" I said a little unsure while opening the door open and he entered.
"So Cupcake, that name is real scary" he said with a smirk."Well if we were looking for scary we probably would have invested in a rotweiler and not a pug" I mentioned.
"You want anything to eat or drink" I offered looking at my uneaten breakfast. " No, I'm going, but I just thought you might want this back" he said holding out his hand. "My ring...Oh my God I don't even know what to say. Thank You! Thank You!." I said taking the ring and pulling him into a hug." I can't believe you found it." I said looking up at him before pulling away.
I probably should not have hugged him that might have been too forward I barely know the kid. I l smiled and looked down trying to think of what to say.
"So how is your weekend going so?" I finally asked him unsure of how to continue this conversation, but desperately not wanting him to leave.
"Fine" he said and I was just about to say something when he asked" Do you want to go out with me" he asked quickly in an breathless tone.
"Yeah" I said after getting over my shock I added "I'd love to" after a bit of a delay to show my enthusiasm and then we just stood there for a second and I smiled.
"Great does tomorrow work? We can get coffee in this place in Port Angeles" he asked.
"Sure that works. When and where?" I asked while wondering briefly why he didn't want go to a coffee shop closer by like the one in the town center.
"I'll pick you up here around 10 tomorrow or is that too early?" It seemed really early, but maybe he has something tomorrow and I did not want to miss my chance with so I of course told him "yes".
"Great. See you tomorrow then."he said giving a quick smiling before getting up to leave. I walked him to the door and we said our goodbyes.
I closed the door leaned against and slid down until my bony butt touched the ground and wondered what just happened.
Getting asked out was something that happened to my friends and my sisters not me...I was well me, but I was certainly starting to like this podunk little town.
Then I had a horrible realization-I had nothing to wear!
