To freak out, or not to freak out, that is the question.
Not because a celebrity is asking me out.
A date with my best friend?
I mind-mapped every possible outcome dating Matt would be like mentally. I could only think of 7. It shouldn't be that bad.
"Sure." I agreed, not sure what to say if I would to reject him. Matt is probably that guy who would run home, gross cry and stuff his face in ice cream with his blanket tucked in, watching The Fault in Our Stars and gross cry even more.
There was a flicker of hope in Matt's eye. Gosh he's so much like a baby brother. We'd agreed to have dinner then watch a movie.

I heard the secret knock code on the door Matt and I had created a month ago and immediately rushed to the door. "If you'd give me a second, I have to...Misha?" Misha gave an apologetic smile as he looked up from the floor mat. Damn it. "Hello.. Are you busy right now?" His voice was rough, it somehow hurt my throat listening to him. "How did you know my secret knock code with Matt?". His brows furrowed," I merely knocked 5 times in the same pulse and that's your knock code?" I rolled my eyes and opened the door wider, stepped aside and gestured him in. " I fucked up big time.".
He explained the whole situation in set whilst I was making tea for the both of us. "$2,000 for repentance? What the heck did you even destroy. Serve you right for trying hard and doing your own damn stunts!" I laughed at him in disbelief. He took the tea and leaned back on the couch. He had gloominess all over his face. "It hasn't been more than 2 months. A fan was over I just wanted to look cool." I tossed him a chocolate from my emergency food supply drawer. Well he deserved it.
"Well, cool guy, I have a date coming up, you can wait here if you want just do not enter my room." I warned him before I heard the knock code again. "No, it's fine, I won't invade your secret pornography stash." I bade Misha goodbye as he reached for the remote controller for the television.
Opening the door, Matt appeared with a smile plastered on his face and a bouquet of flowers on his hand."Good evening m'lady.You look absolutely amazing. Did I hear something about porn?". I nudged his shoulders playfully. "Good evening Matt. Aw those are beautiful. Come on in." I stepped aside, reaching out for the flowers in his hand. "Don't mind the pitiful arse on the couch." I smiled at them and headed to the kitchen to get a vase I got for 2 bucks which was a sweet ass deal. I could hear the chattering in the living room. Seemingly, Matt and Misha were still discussing about the topic on pornography. "Now I'm really feeling uncomfortable. Ready Matty?" He got up of the couch, smoothing up his shirt and nodded his head. We bade Misha goodbye and left in Matt's ride that he had rented.
"No, I'm telling you the fucker actually did that."
Matt chuckled while holding on to the steering wheel tightly. "Jeez I'm glad I'm not needed in the set anymore."
"So may I know where are we going now? A deal is a deal." I always hated surprises. It doesn't give me enough time to react properly. For example, getting the shittiest Christmas present from that aunt who visits you once a year, makes some shitty excuses and gives you flipping hair pins or socks. Then you're forced to be grateful and smile awkwardly your way out and you're just confused as fuck.
"A deal was a deal but a surprise is a surprise. Please quote that ' Matt Cohen dash 2k16'" I rolled my eyes at him and turned my head, staring at the passing pedestrians. The bright moon had made the sky seem darker and the stars were like burning ornaments, pieces of the moon scattering all over the night sky randomly.
"Right. We're here." Matt had change the car's manual, eagerly rushed out of the door,came to my side and swung open the door. I held down on my dress as i placed my foot out on the ground and thanked Matt. I know I'm definitely not a dress person but it's my first celebrity date, I had to step up my game. Matt offered his arm and I gladly accepted it. Maybe it was a great idea to wear the dress, it's all fancy in here they could start playing IGGY.
"Reservation for Cohen at 7?" The receptionist nodded and lead the way in.
"Earth to A. Are you okay?" Matt whispered into my ear. His warm breath contrasts to the air conditioned surrounding. "Yes, sorry! I was just...this place is cool." I really should start paying attention. Pushing my thought aside, I felt the burn on my cheeks from smiling too much.
We had a jolly good time, I ordered some food I could not even pronounce off the menu which I figured out it later on was just a sophisticated word for chicken steak, and the amount of gravy sauce and the tenderness of the chicken was just absolutely fantastic. Sure of course the bill was outstanding too. I offered to split the bill but Matt insisted that it was fine and that the owner was a fan of his and made a great deal. Dang how many episodes was Matt in?
We were still seated at our table, sipping away to the apple juice we ordered because we are such kids and because alcohol is such a no-no.
"Right, flipping Moffat."
He chuckled again. I then picked up my glass which was a great end to my not-at-all funny joke. I thought it'd be good to cease the awkwardness in Matt and his fidgeting nervous self. Then he cleared his throat.
"I'm really sorry if this does- doesn't come out the way I want it to, but I really really like you. Ever since the day you ran from university and in the store sweating, asking me about the new Harry Potter released book, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I enjoyed every single moment I had with you, waiting for you to pop by every day was dreadful but when I do see you at the door and falling for you all over again and again is just so...beautiful," He finally looked me in the eye " So, would you be my girlfrie-"
"Yes. I like you too Matt, you doofus. Can we go now, let's have The Office marathon when we get back. "
I hooked my arm around his and we walked back to his car.
"By the way, we really have to change the door code." I smirked at him as he gave me a confused look which later on turned into the brightest smile in the room.
