Continuation of the continuation! :D

Orihime pouted in the mirror. She couldn't afford to be late again for work. She glanced at the clock at saw that it was a quarter to seven. She should be leaving now if she wanted to get to work on time… but then she wouldn't see Ichigo. Saddened, she grabbed her coat and keys and headed out the door.

Ichigo smoothed out his shirt and sprayed one more time his cologne. Today's the day! You'll ask her… You'll ask her… You can do it! Breathing in deeply, he slowly let it out and grabbed his black coat and left his house.

Orihime was walking down the street, listening to her iPod when she saw a certain orange-haired man standing at the end of the block. Her heart pumping wildly, she walked up to him and lightly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Oh, hey! I was, uhm, waiting for you." Ichigo greeted.
"Really?" Orihime blushed and smiled, slightly biting her lower lip.
"Yeah… I was meaning to ask you… Would you like to eat dinner with me tomorrow night?" Ichigo seemed to have rolled out every word and he began to slightly blush.
"Oh… well… uhm…" Orihime desperately wanted to say yes, but she barely knew the guy!
"Oh, it'll be a get-to-know each other kind of dinner. It won't be a date… unless you'd like it to be…" Ichigo cleared his throat and Orihime smiled.
"I'd love to."
"Great! Uhm, I guess… uh…"
"I guess I have to give you my number." Orihime reasoned with herself as to why to give this "stranger" her number. "You call me and let me know at what time and so on." She smiled at him and then walked away.
Flabbergasted as to what just happened, Ichigo stared at the numbers and back at Orihime and something within him just wanted to jump for joy.
Review please! :)
