he loves me, he loves me not

(5) the mission

"Hey pretty boy over here!" Tilly yelled for Peter to come and talk to her while walking home. "Whats up Tilly," "Nothing much Pete except your walking me home." "But thats like in the complete opposite direction of were I live." "Not my problem, plus I have some pretty good news for you and your little crush on Betty," she said while poking Peter's side. "What! I don't have a- what are you talking about! Me, Betty, no no!" Peter said way to fast and defensively. "Yea I know that you have a crush on Betts. I mean your pretty obvious about it, "oh Betty your so cute" "Betty I love your smile" "I'll walk you home Betty" I mean how desperate are you?" Tilly said trying to be as nice as possible. "Jesus how long have you known?" Peter was confused and scared about how ever long Tilly has known about his crush. "I've known since you followed her into the coffee shop; I don't know anyone who would come into the shop, I heard the baristas there are pretty mean except this one girl who's super funny and hot-" Tilly tried to brag when she got cut off, "Ok yea, yea, Tilly's great and awesome, but how can you help me with my crush on Betty?" Peter asked, "Well if you ever want me to help you I'm gonna need you to say that again." "Say what?" "I need you to say that I'm great." "Seriously Tilly right now." Peter whined. "Yes right now; I need to hear it," "fine, Tilly's great and awesome." Peter said with annoyance laced in his voice, "no say it with more enthusiasm, you know say it like you mean it," "oh jesus," Peter sighed out, "Tilly is the best barista ever, she is so great at everything, and she is awesome," "I hear the sarcasm, but I know you believe all of that so I'll take it!" Tilly said beaming "Ok now will you tell me how you're gonna help me with Betty, you know I really like her right." Peter said with hopeful concern, "yea yea, of course I know you love her I mean she's Betty what's not to like. Even Dylan likes her but we all know that's not going anywhere, well except for Dylan."
Peter was confused at Tilly's words. Dylan likes Betty? How had he never noticed? Was that why Dylan was always rude to him?
"Shit since when? Why haven't I seen it?" "because your a boy. And all you could focus on was how to make fire, and how to get women in bed and bang. grunt grunt, etc etc. You see all boys want is to get into bed with a girl they think is hot and bang her, but your different Peter that's why I want you guys to be together. Plus you guys would be adorable together; I can see it now Petty or wait Better. YES Better that is too good: its like Better together. I need to make this happen." "Ok, ok, Tilly, calm down. How are we going to get Betty to go out with me?" Tilly put her middle finger on her chin slyly, but not so slyly, flipping off Peter. "Well Pete you're gonna do the simplest, most easy thing to win over Betty." "And that is..." Peter stood there confused. "You're gonna take her to the mall."
At that they were at Tilly's house. "No! You can't be serious Tills!" Peter yelled. "You bet your ass I'm serious; you want Betty take her to see a movie and shopping at the mall. Works. Every. Time."

shit Peter thought.

Back at Peter's apartment sat a thinking boy not knowing what to do. All Tilly said to do was take betty to the mall, easy right, wrong. You see there was an underlying meaning to Tilly's simple approach to dating Betty and that was "taking her to the mall" aka taking her on a date at the mall. Tilly didn't think Peter would catch on to her cover up of a date; to be honest Tilly thought she was a genius for coming up with a cover. After sitting on his bed for a good 30 minutes talking himself out of asking Betty on a date he started to love the idea. Well not love just came to terms with the idea. The next day, tomorrow, Friday, Peter was finally going to ask Betty out.
But one thing Peter did wonder about was why Tilly said take her to the mall. It could be just the first date idea came to her mind, but there seemed to be another meaning to the mall. He would just have to see the next day, tomorrow, Friday. peter kept repeating that to himself.
