"D....Date?" I stuttered my confusion out loud. 

"What?" Ronnie looked dumbfounded although it was more like a kid found with his hand in cookie jar ready to deny all charges against him. 

"You said date" I emphasized the last word with air quotes. 

"No. I said 'I have already planned our day'" he reasoned. "Why? would you like it to be a date?" he asked with a raised eyebrow as if waiting for me to confirm it. My heart did a somersault at that thought. blood rushed to my face and I was trying very hard to ignore the fluttering of my heart. 

"I heard you clearly. You said 'Date' not 'Day' " I tried to sound confident stomping my feet. 

"Well, maybe you are so desperate to go on a 'Date' with me that your mind is hearing things that I didn't say" He finished with a smirk. 

"That's not true" or was it? "I.. , I..." 

"Tell you what? just save you from the embarrassment lets make it a date. Happy?" by now he smiling like an idiot. 

How could he turn it around so? I'm sure I heard him say 'Date'. What mind games was he playing at?first apologizing for his past mistakes, calling me sweetheart, sleeping in my bed and now date? but I already have a mate. I cant do this. 

"No" I whispered but I was sure he heard me by his werewolf senses as his posture stiffened. " I don't want to go on a date with you. If at all its just two old friends going out to catch up lost time" 

As much as I would have loved to go on a date with him, I didn't want to lead him on. I was hoping his phase would get over soon and he would leave me alone as before. he was trying to change too many things around me and I was not ready. 

"Ok. Just as friends it is" He conceded but there was a flash of some other emotion when he said that. Was is hurt? It almost made me feel like I had broke his heart. His eyes made my heart melt and I couldn't stop myself holding his hand as he was retrieving himself from my room.  

"One step at a time Ronnie. Lets be just friends. for now" well so much for not leading him on. his eyes now resembled a Cheshire cat that had got the biggest bowl of cream. it was almost wicked. almost. 

"Alright. Get ready and meet me downstairs in five" He said giving me a quick peck on my cheek and left the room. My skin tingled where his lips had been. My body purred at the attention as I sucked in a deep breath. stupid hormones. I quickly entered my bathroom and stared at myself in mirror. 

I was a mess and not a hot one. well near pretty for at least 100 miles. My hair were pointing in every direction. My cheek looked sore although almost heeled. bags under my eyes due to constant crying past few days. bad morning breath as usual and to top it all i was wearing just an over sized t-shirt no pants on. only my underwear. Ronnie had seen me in my full glory now. how could he mean that he thought I was beautiful after seeing me like this. he was just trying to cheer me up. 

I started brushing my teeth and searching for fresh under garments to wear simultaneously. I checked the temperature of the water and started the shower. before getting fully undressed I locked my bathroom door, making sure no surprise entries to bathroom while I bathed. It was all awkward as it is. After finishing my bath successfully without getting my hair wet I stepped out, dried my self and got on to the biggest decision of the day. What should I wear?
