Just a matter of time

Love at first smile

"I think I'm in love." I sighed to myself happily, packing away the groceries.

His name is Blake. It said so on the receipt. 'You were served by Blake.' He gave me his number! That's what he scribbled down on the paper. He's so attractive. His smile, his hair oh god, even his name sounds sexy! I mean seriously Blake is so hot. I think I should shop there more now.

Blake...hmmm...blake. I've heard that name before, but I can't remember where.

I was floating around the kitchen when I heard a weak knock at the door. As soon as I opened it Tash ran inside shaking. I wasn't sure if it was from the cold or from crying. She stood about 5 metres away, and didn't look me as she sobbed.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked her. She turned around slowly and rushed to hug me. She didn't say anything but just kept crying into my arms.

It was weird, her being so upset, and me being in such a good mood. But this is what friends are for, to be there for each other when we need it. So I waited until she calmed down then I put on Pretty Little Liars for her and she slumped into the couch.

I got out the ice cream and broke a fair amount of chocolate into the container and put the rest in a bowl. I grabbed two big dessert spoons and placed it on the coffee table. I went the laundry cupboard and took out a big thick blanket and a bunch of pillows for us, and set up a bed.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her, finishing the bed. She looked up at me and shook her head. She was so miserable. She didn't say a word while eating. She didn't say a word when we watched Pretty Little Liars. She must have been really tired, because she fell asleep quickly.

When I was sure she was in a deep sleep, I whispered "I never liked him anyway, he's always been a dick." I relaxed, and she smiled. I fell asleep shortly after that, with dreams of Blake in my head.
