 "Fine, yes you did just freak me out. Yes, I like to enjoy the fresh air. It helps me feel happy to be alive now. Recently, I have been walking every just to enjoy seeing others out and about. I accept your offer to drive and walk the rest of the way. But just know that if you try anything at all Mr. Slacker. I will not hesitate to mace you. Plus, I took a self defense class. My parents made me before I moved here for college."She said, with a sad voice.

"Oh, don't worry you are not my type." He blurted out. Her smile fell, he saw. He mentally slapped himself. She was about to turn away from him. He reached out and grabbed her arm and stopped her."No Dems, I didn't mean it to come out like that. What I mean, is I'm not that kind of guy. I maybe a ladies man, but I won't make a woman do something that she is not comfortable. Please don't think whatever you are think. You are worth to be like, loved and much more."He said, as she gave him a small smile. She just nodded her head. "Let me just finish up. I just gotta wipe down a few more tables, then check the kitchen one more time. Then turn the lights out, then lock up and we can go." He said, as she just nodded her head again. Her phone beep, it was a text message. He turned from he and finished cleaning up.

15 minutes later

He had parked his car four blocks away from her dorm room. She hadn't spoken, since they left the restaurant. He was still kicking himself, for his comment. He know that she had misunderstood him. He tied to make her talk. She would just nodded her head. They both got out of the car. The night air was a bit cold. She stood by waiting for him, he opened the back door and got out his sweat shirt. Then he locked the doors. He walked toward her. She was looking down at her phone. He was a little jealous at whoever she was texted. She smiled, then she put the phone back in her purse. She shivered slight, as he came to stand in front of her.

"Here take this and put it on." He said, as he handed her his sweatshirt. "No, that is okay. I'm not co..cold. "She said, her teeth chatter. He shook his head at her. "Come on don't be like that. I can see that you are cold. So, quit being so stubborn. Just take the sweatshirt. I promise it is clean. I don't want you to be cold." He said, in a gentle voice. She sighed,"Fine, then hold this so I can put it on."She said, as handed him her purse. He smiled, as he took her purse. She put the sweatshirt on. He chuckled, as her head pop through the sweat shirt. She looked at him with a questioning look. "What, Joseph?"

"I was just thinking that, we just met. You are the first woman, that made me hold their purse. I would always see guys, doing that. I would think wow, they must be so whipped. I swore, I wouldn't be like them." He said, as his scratched his head. She giggled, as he slapped his hand over his mouth. "I take it that you didn't mean to say that out loud ever. Yet, here you are just blurting out things again."She said, as she took her purse back. He glared at her. "Well, I blame you Demetira." He said, as she gasped. How, is this my fault?"

"It is your fault, you make get so tongue tied. It's like you have a spell cast upon me to say what I think. Normally I just keep, what I wanna say to myself. There is just something about you. I can't explain it all. But, it's a good thing. I've never felt like this. You can't deny it either. I know you can feel it too."He said. "Yes, Joe. I won't lie to you. I feel it too."She said. "Demi, I know this is going to sound so very crazy. But, will you be my girlfriend?" He said, as he took her hand in his. She took a sharp breath in. Her eyes when wide, her heart began to beat fast. She thought that she misunderstood him. "I'm sorry..." his let her hand got. She reached out and grabbed it." Wait, Joe"

He looked at her. She thought that she saw the beginning of tears. "What did you say? I think I misunderstood you. Say it again." She said, as he took a deep breath in, then he let it out. "I said Demi Lovato will you be my Girlfriend. I will treat you r......" She stood on her tippy toes. He was caught off by a pair of soft lips on his. His heart beat so fast, he thought that it would explode. His mind began to spin. He set his hands on her face. He kiss her with more passion. Moments later they both pulled away breathless. "Wow." They both said at the same time. Then they both started to laugh. "Does, that answer you question Slacker?" Joe laughed, "Yes, it does My lady." He said, as he took her hand intertwined their hands and walked down the sidewalk.
