I stand in my doorway as John stands across from me in the hall.

"So um I was wondering.." John starts as he fiddled with his jacket.

"Yes?" I ask.

"Would you um, maybe, wanna go out sometime?" His eyes to the floor, cheeks a crimson red.

I smile.

"I'd like that." I say.

He looks up quickly.

"Really?" He asks excitedly.

"Yeah." I saw with a nod and giggle.

"Great! Maybe um Friday?"

I think about my plans in my head.

"Yeah that should work." I say.

John grins broadly.

"Okay! I'll be by here say 8 o'clock?"

"Sure that'll be fine." I respond.

John leans forward and gives me a quick kiss on the cheek before turning down the hallway.

"See you Friday Rhiannon!" He shouts over his shoulder before he opens the door to the outside.

I smile and wave, wondering if he even sees it. I shut the door and go into the kitchen.

"Oh shit!" I mutter to myself.

I totally forgot to put away the groceries. I quickly open the fridge and pantry and take everything out of the bags, placing them on their designated shelves.

I decide to run a bath to calm myself from the long day. I go into the bathroom and turn on the hot water. I sprinkle in some lavender bath salts and leave the room, letting the water fill the tub. I grab a glass and open a bottle of wine. I pour about half a glass of a red before returning to the bathroom. I turn off the water, set my wineglass down and begin to take off my clothes. I step into the tub and sink into it, letting the steaming hot water rush over my tired body. I close my eyes and lean my head back as I drift into a happy world.
