Tammy’s POV

“You look beautiful tonight.” Blake said warmly, meeting my gaze. He tucked a few loose strands of hair behind my ear. Not long after, he leant in forward, and so did I. Our lips touched… Sparks Flew… Melodious singing of angels sounded at the background… Butterflies erupted in my stomach…

Oh wow!

Could one kiss make a person feel like that? It was like a dream…

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

I woke up to my alarm clock going off. I groaned.

So it was all a dream after all…

Well, it has to be, Blake isn’t getting any kisses from me anytime now. I don’t even trust him enough yet. Who knows, he might turn out to be like all the other guys I’ve dated. I don’t think I’m ready to get hurt like that again. But I have to admit, I was a bit bummed that it was all a dream. I have a gut feeling he’s a good kisser though…

Damn it, Tammy! Snap out of it! I scolded myself.

I got up from my bed and decided to start my day right. I wanted to start my day by jogging to clear my thoughts about the dream I had and all the other things bugging me.

I went out of the house, stopping right outside our doorstep to tie my shoelace. I popped up my earphones and began my venture to the familiar streets of our peaceful subdivision. As I was running, series of questions went through my mind…

Is this date a good idea?

Am I willing to take the risk and put my heart out on the line again?

What about the promise I made to myself?

What am I going to wear?

Okay, maybe the last question wasn’t that important but hey, I’m a girl. I have the right to worry about what to wear on a date. Ugh! Why is everything so complicated? I desperately need someone to give me advices and tell me everything’s going to be fine.

As if on cue, I saw Zoey with Danny a couple blocks away in our favourite café. I smiled and mentally thanked the heavens for granting my request. I jogged my way to them.

“Hey Tammy!” They both said in unison once they saw me.

“Hey Zoey, Hey Danny!!” I greeted them with a huge smile on my face.

“Okay, spill the beans. What are you so happy about?” Zoey asked with a raised brow.

“What? Am I not allowed to be happy seeing my two best friends?” I replied innocently, batting my lashes at them in an attempt to look less guilty.

Zoey scoffed and said, “Look Tam, you can never fool us with that act. We’ve known you for years now and whenever you smile like that, there has to be something good behind it. So, spill.” Both Danny and Zoey were staring intently at me now, waiting for an explanation.

I bit my lip as I thought of what I was going to answer. “Uhm, Blake asked me out on a date.” I muttered quietly.

“Huh?” Both Danny and Zoey said in unison.

“Blake asked me out on a date.” I answered audibly now. I looked up to see their faces. Both of their mouths were gaping widely in shock.

“What?” Danny asked, shock and disappointment visible on his face. I opened my mouth to answer him but Zoey started to squeal and shake my startled self violently.
