Chapter 4: One Week Later

Holly was sitting at her desk as Trouble came in.

"Hey Trouble. What's up?" She asked.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to talk. May I?" He asked pointing at a chair.

She nodded looking a little confused. Trouble didn't really notice. His mind was on more important things. He was going to ask her out. Vein had finally convinced him to.

Flashback:

"Hey Trouble. Can I come in?" Vein asked.

Trouble grinned. "Sure. What can I help you with?"

"Actually I'm here to help you." Vein said.

"Huh?" Trouble asked.

"About Holly."

Trouble scowled. "What makes you think I need help with Holly?" he asked.

Vein rolled his eyes. "Come on. It's so obvious that you've got a huge crush on her."

Trouble turned red. "I don't!"

Vein looked at him. "Yeah right. You're always starring at her, you blush when she smiles at you... do I need to go on?" he asked.

Trouble groaned. "Is it that obvious?"

"Yeah pretty much. But I don't think she's noticed."

Trouble sighed. "That's good."

"So now that you admitted it to me, why don't you ask her out?"

Trouble looked away. "No way!"

"Why not?"

"Two reasons. 1) She doesn't like me that way and 2) I don't want to break my friendship with her."

"Come on Trouble!" Vein said. Just ask her out. I think she likes you too."

"You really think so?" Trouble asked.

"Yeah. Now go ask her." Vein pushed the Captain out of the room."

End Flashback

Holly was looking at Trouble in a concerned way. "Trouble? You ok?" She asked.

He shook himself. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Did you want to ask me something?" Holly asked.

Trouble gulped turning a slight red. "Um... I was wondering... if you... uh."

"Trouble, just spit it out." Holly said.

Trouble took a deep breath and said in a rush. "Iwaswonderingifyouwantedtogooutwithmesometime."

He half hoped that she wouldn't understand. But she did.

Holly grinned. "Sure. I was kind of hoping that you'd ask me soon."

He looked up, surprised. "Really?"

"Yup." Holly said. "What did you have in mind for a date?"

Trouble grinned. "Well maybe tomorrow night we could go to a movie and to dinner."

"Sure." Holly said. "You could pick me up at my house at 7'o'clock."

Trouble got up to leave. "Sure. See you then."

Holly smiled again and he left her office. As he closed her door he ran into Vein.

"Well?" Vein asked.

Trouble just grinned. Vein smiled back.

"See. I told you!"

A/N: One more chapter and there is a sequel (which I personally like better than this one). Review to let me know if I should post the sequel.
