"Nothing happened." I say to Dan. It's midnight. I'm in Dan's flat. He had pulled me over in the middle of the night saying he could not sleep.

"You sure?" he says putting his hand on my arm. I look into his eyes.

"He didn't make a move." I say for my third time. He smiles.

"Can you sleep now?" I ask. He smile fades and nods. At least that is what happens every night for the past 6 days. But...he doesn't let me leave this time.

"I like talking to you though." He says. He looks into my eyes. Dan leans in. I hesitantly put my hand on his chest. I lean in ever so slightly. His brown eyes hypnotize me. We get so close before I push him away.

"I'm so sorry, Dan. I really want this to happen but..." I look down."This is Alex's week." He leans back looking defeated. I stand up and grab my bag. "I should get going. I have another date tomorrow." He nods as I close the door.

We sit at a fancy restaurant. Our last date. Alex has not said a word. He silently eats his salmon.

Finally I get fed up with it. "What's wrong Alex?"

"This is weird isn't it?" Alex says looking up. I scrunch up my nose and nod. He smiles. " Wanna know something...." he back down, not smiling anymore.

"Sure." I say putting my hand on his.

"I.." he looks into my eyes. "I don't truly have a crush on you. I just...you don't realize that OTHER guys like you. I always liked you has a friend. I just want you to know that Dan is not the only option." I grab my napkin and throw it on the plate.

"I hate you." I say grabbing my bag. I walk out of that restaurant. How could he do that? He messed with my feelings. I hurry back to my flat. I pull off my heals and start to run.

Of course, it begins to rain. Perfect. Just fricken perfect. I  sit on the curb in the poring rain in front of the apartment building. I was beginning to get feelings for Alex. Now I realize he never liked me like that. I put my head in my hands. Ugh. I feel someone sit next to me. They put their hand on my back. I glance over and see Dan.

"Hey." He says. His hair is curly and he is wearing his pajamas. He came out here in his pajamas. Aw. "You okay?" I shake my head.

"Alex...." I look at him.

"Yeah?" he asks.

"...never actually liked me." I say. He looks confused then mad.

"So...he...messed with your feelings?" he says as his voice rises. I stand up.

"Dan, its fine." I say. He stands up looking pissed.

"No. It is not." he says. "Where is he?" His hands clench into a fist.

I glance back at the restaurant. He starts storming there. I grab his arm.

"Don't." He stops. He slowly turns around. I look through the rain into his brown eyes. His face isn't mad anymore.

"Jo." he says softly.

"Yes?" I ask. Our faces are nearly touching.

"I love you." Dan says, his breath tickling my lips.

"I love you too." His lips crash into mine. Finally. It feels like my heart is exploding, there is so many sparks. I smile into the kiss. THIS is what I wanted. Not Alex. Not PJ. And not Charlie. My best friend may have lied to me for a full week. My mom may be dead. But, Dan loves me. And I love him. My life...is perfect.
