His Heart Vacancy Girl

Confession time

Beth's POV:

Things for Emily have been going pretty good recently, except for that fight in the park, and her running off, and Jay finding a girlfriend... Actually I suppose they're not going that great. At least it's better than my life. On the night of Em's date with James (which I acted as though I liked the idea but really I didn't.. She belongs with Jay) wwell anyway, on that night I had finally met Tom. Yes, THE Tom Parker from the wanted... The man I dream about every night. Him. Yeah, we met and we did a little bit of flirting but not so much that it was rally obvious; since then we had texted a little bit but not much. I think we've had about 4 and a half hours of texting all together, so it really wasn't much. I don't know what's up with him because he seemed quite in to me that day but last night he started to get weird.. Like at first he was being all flirty, sending kisses, replying quickly and all that jazz but later on, he sent less kisses, took longer to reply and he was barely flirting. So something definitely changed.

I had just got off the phone with Megan, and to say her life as going great would be an understatement. Her and Nathan had constantly been texting, she had gone out with him today and they had kissed. Why can't Tom be more like? I thought Nath was supposed to be the shyer one not Tom. I didn't actually realize how desperate that sounded ... I don't mean to be pushy,like I didn't expect him to immediately fall head over heels for me but I was hoping that he would ask me out or something. Like I said, he seemed quite into me... Maybe that was just my mind playing tricks on me? Yeah, it probably was.. I mean why would a man like him want a woman like me? He's probably sleeping with a girl right now. Well there's nothing I can do but wait and see what happens. Ugh, he is so frustrating!

~incoming call~

Tom's POV:

That's it. I'm tired of being a pussy.. I'm calling her. I dialed her number which she gave to me and put the phone to my ear.

"hello, mayor of depressionville... Population 1. How may I help?"

"hey Beth. It's Tom? Whats up?"

"oh, Tom hey, its nothing." she perked up a little

"didn't sound like nothing to me. What's wrong?"

"it's nothing. What did you want?" she asked in the nice way... Not like 'oi what you want?!'

"oh, I erm wanted to know if you.. Uh" I started to get nervous, oh great.

"If I what?" she laughed.

"if you wanted to go on a date with me?" I asked then quickly added "that's if you want. You don't have to" to this she laughed.

"oh Tom, of course i would love to."

"oh good" I let out a breath that I didn't realize I was holding in.

"when?"

"I'll pick you up tomorrow night at 7" I said. I knew exactly what we were going to do.

"sure, where are we going?"

"it's a surprise"

"Please tell me... At least give me a hint so I know what to wear"

"wear something casual and bring a swimsuit"

"alright" she sighed "see you then"

"see you then"

"bye Tom"

"bye babe" I went to press end but I heard screaming, like excited screaming.. Obviously she had forgotten to hang up.

Beth's POV:

I dropped my phone onto my bed and screamed! HE DID IT!! HE ASKED ME OUT!! I was interrupted because I heard a manly laugh and a "still here" from the phone. Shoot, I didn't hang up.
