Everything She Knew is False

Chapter 13 Friends or Something More?

When she was dressed she went down stairs to find Jared in shorts and a button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. "You ready?" He said with smirk. "Where are we going?" Tamera asked. "You'll see." He said as he walked out side and into his truck. Tamera didn't ask anymore questions instead she just followed him.

He drove them to Tamera's favorite Italian restaurant. Jared had already made reservations from. A waitress came to ask what drinks they wanted but before Tamera could say anything Jared spoke "I'll have a Dr Pepper and she will have Raspberry Iced Tea. Also we are ready to order we are going to share your Alfredo Pasta." "You got." said the waitress as she walked away. "You didn't even let me look at the menu. What if I wanted something else? And how do you know I want to share?" Tamera said with a slight surprised look. "You look at the menu for five minutes and every time you end up the Alfredo plus you can never finish the whole thing by yourself. I've known for a while I think I know what you like to eat." Jared said with a smirk and raising an eyebrow at her. Tamera didn't argue with him after that.

"What should we do next?" Jared said after he paid the bill. "Give me your keys?" Tamera said hold her handout. "What? Why?" Jared giving her a suspicious look. "Now it's your turn to wait and see." Jared finally gave up the keys to her. Tamera drove for about ten minutes and then pull over near a park. She led Jared to the park where a bunch of street performers were playing music, dancing, and singing in perfect sync. The street performers were playing Counting Stars by One Republic. Tamer and Jared stayed listening to them for about an hour or so.

Jared and Tamera then went and say in the back of his truck just watching the stars. "Thank you for today. It was a lot of fun. I am really glad that we're friends again." Tamera said with a little smile. "Oh, um yeah friends. I mean it's nice we're friends now." Jared said with a half a smile. Jared then drove her back to his house where Trent said he would pick up Tamera.

When they got to the house they walked to the front door. Jared then slowly faced Tamera not unlocking the door and got close enough to Tamera to wear the could feel his breathe in her face. The space between them was getting smaller by the second. Before their lips could touch they were interrupted. "Jared! We need to talk, now." Claire said. Tamera quickly backed away from Jared. Trent then drove up in the drive way. "I should go. It looks like Claire really wants to talk to you" Tamera said as she got into Trent's car. "But..." Jared didn't finish his sentence because Tamera had already closed the car door and Trent was driving away.
