Oh gosh! What do I do!? I like Johnny but I want to take this slow...

I felt my cheeks burn up and sparks starting. Pulling my head back was like trying to lift tons of bricks. Right when Johnny's face was a few centimeters away from mine, my phone starting playing a One Dread song. Oh thank the Lord. I pulled back and chuckled. I heard Johnny let a light sigh out, which made me grin.

"Oh, um, sorry. I'm gonna answer this."

"That's OK I'm going to go set up dinner."

"OK."

Johnny got up and went to the kitchen while I checked who was calling. It was a call from Squishy's house. Hm… I wonder why they're calling me. I quickly answered it.

"Hello?"

"Um yes hello is your refrigerator running?"

I recognized Art's voice. "Art what are you doing?"

"Then you better go catch it."

"What?"

I heard Terri's voice over the phone. He said "Art she was suppose to to say 'yes'."

"What are you guys doing."

Art chuckled and said "Sorry Ar (Diane's nickname incase you forgot… because I almost did) it was dare. We were playing truth or dare."

I giggled. "You guys are crazy."

"Yeah we know. But hey, I'll call you later. I don't want to disturb your date with johnny."

"For the last time it's not a date. We just friends having dinner."

"That sounds like a date. Go get'em tiger!"

I laughed. "OK, bye Art."

Haha, boys. I hung up and heard laughter behind me. I turned to see a grinning Johnny.

"So it is or it isn't a date."

I blushed massively and chuckled. Oh gosh he heard.

"I don't know. You tell me."

"I guess this could 'just be friends having dinner' for now. How about next week I take you on a real date."

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! YES! YES! YES! HELL YEAH!

I smiled. "Sure. I'd like that."

After that he took me to the kitchen to eat dinner.

~Later

After eating dinner I helped him wash the plates.

"So I heard your lovely ringtone when we were back at the couch."

"Oh yeah. It's Heart Attack by One Dread."

"You like One Dread?"

"I love One Dread. I'm a huge fan."

Before Johnny could speak the lights went out.

"Uh…"

Thunder kept crackling and the rain kept pouring. Maybe that's why the lights went out.

I looked outside and I could dark frat houses and dark street lamp posts. A power outage huh?

"It's a power outage."

"I know… and the storm still looks pretty harsh. It's gonna be a rough time getting back home," I said looking out the window in the kitchen.

"You're always welcomed to stay for the night."

Um…..? "Won't I be a bother?"

"Not at all," he said walking closer to me.

I was leaning against the kitchen counter. "Um… I… guess I could stay for the night. I just hope my friends won't get too worried about me."

"They won't worry because you're safe with me," he said putting his arm around me, "If a goat comes I'll scare it away."

"Again with the goats?"

He started laughing. I playfully punched his arm.

"OK I'll stop. So… what now?"

"I don't. Light up some candles so it won't be so dark."

"OK."
