The Perks of Knowing Evans

Chapter 32

A/N

Oh hi there! Well isn't this a surprise.

I hope you're all doing well! As I'm sure you're aware, I said in my last update that I was unsure if I'd ever finish TPOKE due to being very busy. Well here I am with a NEW CHAPTER! It is a scary time for the world right now, but as I have some spare time on my hands, I decided to write you guys something to take your minds off it all :)

Thank you again for all your continued support! I have been reading all your comments on TPOKE, as well messages in my inbox and on my wall. I'm so pleased that so many people are still enjoying my work and want to see more.

So here it is, a much anticipated continuation to The Perks of Knowing Evans. Don't forget to drop a vote and comment!

Enjoy! And please keep safe these next few weeks.

Chapter 32

"Wear black, you can't go wrong. Simple yet effortlessly sexy"

"Personally, I think she should go for a cheeky red number, he definitely won't be able to keep his hands off her then"

"Oh my god yes, and a deep plunge for sure"

"Well of course a plunge! She needs to utilise the assets she has."

I groan as both my sister and my best friend squeal excitedly whilst deciding my outfit choice for tonight. Caitlyn and Jess haven't given me the slightest opportunity to even try and intervene in their discussion ever since I told them about my date. But in all honesty, I know that these girls won't disappoint, so there is next to no fear as I listen to them discussing makeup and hair ideas. Well, besides the seemingly R-rated path they're trying to drag me down. It will all be very PG tonight, I can assure you.

Ever since the night of Tyler's intrusion into my hotel room, and the subsequent investigation that ensued from it, Zach and I have grown so much closer than we previously were. These last two weeks have consisted of the two of us spending a lot of time together, not just alone, but with my friends and also his on separate occasions. With the both of us being fully aware of an undeniable attraction between us, we haven't tried to deny it with one another, or resist the inevitable either. In simple terms, there may have been quite a few steamy kisses that have occurred. Obviously only when it's just the two of us, though. Not really looking to have the rumour mill spiral out of control just yet.

As I sit and think back on our journey so far I feel a small smile play on my lips. He really is such a kind-hearted person. And that, alongside the cheeky side to his personality, is becoming annoyingly addictive. It's this same budding addiction to one another's company that has finally led us to tonight's plans.

Zach rang me around an hour or so ago, on the spur of the moment, and told me to get ready to go out for dinner with him. It wasn't even a question but an order. Usually getting ordered around would get my blood boiling, but in this instance I let it slide. As much as I hate to admit it, it was kind of hot. Of course we have spent quite a bit of time together lately, but it's been very casual, almost just like two friends chilling. The fact he's taken the lead with this and asked me out officially is definitely sitting well with me. This is going to be our first official date, and I am very excited.

"Hello?! Earth to Selena!"

I snap out of my Zach-induced daze to see Cait snapping her fingers directly in front of my eyes, an irritated expression clouding her features.
