I can do this, damn it.

I am a strong, confident and very cute woman.

My head falls back.

I'm an idiot.

Damn it.

I adjust myself at the edge of my bed. The sheets and blankets bunch up around me.

I'm wearing my favorite underwear, the ones with the red polka dots that do nice things to my ass, and I'm wearing his grey sweater. The one he let me borrow at the beach last week.

I'm tired of waiting for him to figure out that I like him.

Why is this so hard?

Is this what guys go through every time they ask a girl out?

I think of my brother Emmett and snort. Definitely not.

I swallow thickly and unlock my phone.

It buzzes in my hand and I drop it.

I can't help but laugh at my ridiculousness.

Hey - E

I hit the little phone icon, go to the call log and stare at his name.

I tap it and listen as the phone rings.

"What's up?" He answers on the first ring.

"Hi."

"What are you doing?"

"Sitting in the dark, watching the rain. What are you doing?"

He's quiet for a moment, I can hear him moving around. "Nothing. Listening to music."

"Yeah? What are you listening to?"

"I don't know, everything. My iPod's on shuffle."

"What's on right now?"

"Ivan & Alyosha."

"Oooh, I like that one song … We've been through that, and we came out on top, because, you're really easy to love," I sing quietly into the phone.

I hear him move again, the music stops and then the song I was singing starts.

I smile and bite my lip.

"Hey E?" I ask.

"Yeah?"

"I … uh … will you," I huff out a breath. "Do you want to go out on Saturday? On a date … with me?" I frown.

He's really quiet on the other end.

"I'd really like to go on a date with you," I say, finally.

"Hey, Is. I gotta go … can I call you right back?"

My eyes water and my shoulders drop.

"Yeah, sure. Later," I hang up, embarrassed.

I wrap my hand around my neck and stare out the window.

Well, there you go. I put myself out there and he just blew me off.

My hands are shaky from the adrenaline of actually asking him out and from the embarrassment of rejection.

My phone buzzes and his face lights up my phone.

I hit the green button.

"Open your door," he says, out of breath.

I frown and walk into the living room. When I reach the door, I look through the peep hole.

Edward is standing there soaking wet, his phone to his ear.

I unlock the door and pull it open, "What are you doing?"

His eyes roam over my body before he meets my eyes.

My face flames when I remember exactly what I'm wearing.

"Is, I'd love to go out with you on Saturday."
