But That's Dope Right?

She Said Yes

"Bye Babe" I say right before ending the call with the biggest smile ever on my face. I can't believe she said yes! I mean I know it's not a real date, heck, she might not even like me that way but she said yes. I can't wait! Tonight might finally be the night I make sure she knows how I truly feel, I just hope she feels the same way! Gosh, I'm so nervous!

"Mate, what's gotten into you?"

"Huh?" I look up to see Jaymi standing there looking at me confused. Whats he even-

"You've just stood there pacing ever since you got off the phone. And what's with the creepy.. OH MY GOD WAIT A SECOND! YOU DIDN'T."

"Jaymi what are you on about?"

"You asked her didn't you?" A smirk makes its way across Jaymi's face as I try to hide the blush making its way across mine.

"Asked who what?" I tried to play it off cool.

"Don't even try to play that card, Josh. Tell me what happened." Jaymi is now stood with his arms crossed tapping his foot looking like he owns this place.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I say trying to walk away and start putting a bag together.

"Oh whatever! Come on Josh c'mere." Jaymi pulls me over to the couch and makes me sit down. "Now I know you were on the phone with Anna. You never get a smile like that after talking to your mum no matter how excited you are to talk with her. So, what happened? Did you finally ask her out?"

"Well um... Sort of..." I whisper shyly trying not to make eye contact. I mean yes, Jaymi is one of my best mates, but I'm not about to share all my feelings with him. I'm not used to talks like this... with anyone.

"Sort of!? What do you mean sort of!?"

"I um... I just kind of... I asked if it was alright... y'know for the two of us to hang out alone... tonight."

"Ooooo Josh wants to get in there!" Jaymi raises his had to give me a high five.

"No stupid!" I exclaim smacking him in the head. "Just a movie! Out for ice cream, and then watch a movie. Thats it. Thats all. You pervert!"

"Hey man, I was just sayin, it'd be a good time to y'kno-"

"JAYMI!"

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Don't kill me!" his hands fly up in surrender. God, I swear if he weren't one of my best mates I would have killed him. "So what were you planning on telling the boys?"

"I don't know, I haven't figured that one out yet" I answered honestly. I know I can't just come out and bluntly say that I'm going to Anna's, George would question me for hours. I'm still not quite sure if the lad has figred out I fancy his sister.

"Y'know I could always come up with something for you"

"Oh yeah? Like what?" I questioned Jaymi, my eyebrows scrunched together in confusinon. Jaymi just smiled in response.

"Well," He started, "I could always say that I need to go to my mums for something and make you come along"

"But Jaymi your mum doesn't live in Bristol"

"Oh Josh," Jaymi cooed,ruffling my hair, "you have much to learn"

"Whatever mate. I'm trusting you with whatever you decide to tell the boys, but I've got to go get ready, train leaves in three hours" I say getting up from the couch and making my way to my room to dress properly and fill a bag with the necessities to stay the night.

"Hey George!" I hear Jaymi yell out walking into George's room as I enter mine. Within an hour I'm ready to leave. Jaymi and I are standing at the door saying out goodbyes to the other lads, JJ looking as confused as ever which wasn't at all surprising.

"I'll fill you in later mate" I told him making sure I was quiet enough so George didn't hear me. He just nodded in response.

"Well I guess we'll see you guys tomorrow then" George says giving us both a hug, JJ following his example.

"Don't break anything!" Jaymi yelled back into the room as we walked out.

As we walk into the elevator I think Jaymi is trying to tell me something but I pay no attention. I'm lost in my thoughts. I still can't believe Ann said yes. I'm so nervous. I know that tonight will be the night; the night i finally make my feelings for her clear. I don't know how I'll do it just yet though. If I just come out and tell her, will she feel the same way? Maybe if I just give her little hints everything will be okay, I mean that way if she doesn't feel that way I can just deny everything and say that I was just being friendly. These thoughts fill my head until we arrive at the train station. Jaymi and I are to get on seperate trains now. I'm not even sure of where he's going to but I know it's not with me. 

"Good luck mate, I hope it all works out" Jaymi tells me as he grabs his bag off the floor getting ready to leave.

"Thanks man, I do too. I just hope she doesn't shut me out y'know?"

"She won't, that I'm sure of. I know she really likes you. That much is obvious, it's just a matter of if she's ready." Jaymi seems so sure of himself but even so, I have my doubts. Why would she want someone like me? 

"Look," he starts again, this time interrupting my thoughts, " I know you don't believe me, but you've got to trust me on this one. I know how girls act and she definitely facies you mate."

"Thanks man"

"Any time. Now, tomorrow morning when you get back to this station just wait for me over there" he says pointing near the entrance, "my train arrives about 15 minutes after yours"

"Sounds goon, see you then"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The whole way to Ann's I think about what I'm gonna do. My mind is spinning with all the possibilities of how she will react and before I know it I'm in front of her house. This is it, I think to myself as I walk up to her door. I shut my eyes before ringing the doorbell. You can do this. I hear her approaching the door and I open my eyes. When the door opens I stop. Frozen in my spot. My breath caught in my throat. She looks so beautiful. Her green eyes sparkling in the sunlight, her eyelashes long as ever, and her dress... Only God knows why shes wearing a dress, and even though its just a sundress it looks beautiful on her. I don't care what anyone has to say about her she's flawless. I just stand there looking at her. I think she can tell I'm admiring her by the way she blushes and breaks eye contact with me. She opens the door wider and stands aside.

"Um, Josh. Would you uh.. Would you like to come in?" and now I'm sure that she's aware of what just happened. Even if she tries to deny it. I know her well enough to know that she doesn't act this shy or awkward unless there's reasoning, and by the looks of it, she's a tad bit embarrassed. This only raises my hopes more because I think she may actually fancy me back. I really hope she does. Oh God, how I wish. If the rest of tonight goes this smoothly, I think I might be able to survive it without dying of  nervousness.
