Blinded by Love: Chapter 4

    I woke the next morning to a throbbing in my head, and a sensitive touch to my forehead, a reminder of my nifty little idiotic experiment. Man that was stupid. How does she do that being totally clueless of where she was going. I stood out of bed my head spinning and just groaned. Fuck my head hurts. I stood up went to the bathroom getting a shower and when I got out I wrapped a towel around my waist.

    I glanced at my reflection in the mirror to see a very clear black and blue mark in the middle of my forehead. Shit. No wonder it fucking hurts. Dammit... Well, I am gonna talk to Dani today. I called her last night and said I needed a girl’s advice.

    I went into my bedroom adjacent to my bathroom, and dug through my closet, throwing some clothes on, taking one last glance at my throbbing forehead, sighed and headed outside.

    “Hey,” I heard as I walked out of my room. I looked up to see Dani standing there, then her face grimaced.

    “Ohhh, you really smacked your head huh?!” she asked, pointing to my forehead.  I nodded and smiled.

    “Yeah hurts like a bitch,” I said. She smiled and walked over.

    “So.... You need to talk?” she asked. I smiled. She was Kevin’s wife, but she knew all of us too damn well. I nodded and we walked out back, Elvis close behind us, to get outside to do his business. We sat down at the table and she turned to me.

    “So spill,” she said, “What’s on your mind.”

    “Jennifer,” I said simply, slouching in my chair.

    “The blind girl?” she asked, with a smile.

    “Yeah, I can’t stop thinking about her,“ I said, “She’s just perfect. Talented, BEAUITFUL, sweet, smart, funny, amazing, intriguing, I can go on and on.” She giggled.

    “You sound like you really like her,” she said, with a smile.

    “Yeah, I do, a lot,” I said, “I just don’t think she’d go out with me. I mean, I can accept everything about her, but I worry she wouldn’t be interested in me.”

    “Nick, how would you know if you don’t ask her?” she said. I sighed. I don’t just ask girls out. I mean, it took Miley and me a few weeks before we even talked about dating. Selena asked me and I agreed... I just don’t do that... I mean, I wanted to ask her.... I wanted to ask her so bad, but things were so complicated. I am confusing my self at this point. I didn’t know what to think.

    “Yeah, but Dani, you know me,” I said.

    “Yeah, I do, but I also know that if you wait too long, you’ll end up in the friend zone,” she said.

    “I know but I could live with that. Being around her every day,” I said, causing a smile to spread over my lips.

    “Wow, you really are smitten,” she said, then picked up my phone, handing it to me, “CALL her!” I sighed and dialed her number.

    “Hello?” Cindy said, cheerily.

    “Hey Cindy,” I said, “Can I speak to Jennifer?”

    “Of course you can Nick,” she said and I heard a giggle in the background. The giggle of my perfect little angel. I sighed as she got on the phone and I just about melted at the sound of her saying my name.

    “Hello, Nick,” she said, hearing the smile in her voice. I let my eyes close over, loving the sound of her voice.

    “Hey, Jeny,” I said, “Um, I was uh.....” I cleared my throat, and rubbed the back of my neck, “I was wondering, uh... maybe if you’d like to... maybe I could take you to dinner?”
