The rest of yesterday day was a blur, I only remember getting home, JR helping me out with simple things, not sleeping, and watching some movie I didn't remember the title of. ..
When I woke up the day after in the afternoon, I found a note from JR
"I went home to shower, change and make some final arrangements I'll be back around 7, don't wait up Princess!...P.S. You better be ready when I get there!"
I chuckled and looked at the clock '5:30', I had enough time. I got out of bed and removed the last layer of my bandages. My wound had healed up, for the most part, I felt the back of my head and I felt the small stitches. I shook my head and went to shower and dry my hair. I walked to my closet in only boxers, wondering what to wear, after going through my entire closet I stopped at a pair of black skinny jeans, a white shirt with vibrant black and red rose wrapped around a heart the said 'Forever'. I smiled I found a great outfit, I quickly got dressed and applied my eyeliner shortly after. After I finished I looked myself over in the mirror, I liked it...but my hair didn't look right, so I took it down and brushed it again. I smiled.
"Perfect!" I said happily clapping my hands. I smiled and checked my clock '7:35'. I took a breath glad I had gotten ready with time to spare.I paused and looked around my room... I needed to clean.
After cleaning I walked down stairs and plopped onto the couch, feeling a bit exhausted, until I heard a knock at the door I jumped up and quickly ran to the door. I smiled at JR.
"So are we leaving soon?" I asked smiling. He chuckled and put out his hand.
"Of course, now come with me if you wanna have fun" he said smiling. I chuckled and took his hand looking him up and down. He was wearing a black blazer, a white collared shirt, a light grey sleeveless cotton v-neck over the collared shirt, blue jeans and a brown belt. God did he look handsome.
"You look really handsome JR" I said suddenly before quickly regretting it. He blushed and smiled as he led me to his car.
"You look amazing Ren~" he said smiling at me as he opened the passenger side for me. I blushed and got in, something felt different between me and JR I didn't quite understand it...Maybe he liked me... or he's just being nice and trying to make it up to me. Or he's just being JR... I'm being stupid... I need to get that out of my head... I gave a soft smile as a blush crawled across my face.
"Thank you, so where are we going to first? I hope dinner I'm starving!" I said distracting myself. He smiled and nodded before getting in the drivers seat, and started up the car.
"We're gonna eat somewhere special~" he said smiling at me. I blushed and turned my head biting my lip. 'Shit- he's ... no! stop it-just act normal. Nothing's going to happen, we're just going out for a 'guys' night out. That is all!' I thought to myself regaining my composure. I took a deep breath and turned to him smiling.
"Really? where?" I asked cheerfully. He gave a sweet cute smile, then started down the street.
"The new Italian restaurant down town, and then well go to the ice cream parlor by the park for dessert!" he said thrusting his fist into the air. I chuckled, he was the most adorable when he did things like that. I smiled and looked ahead content with the way things were going, until I heard JR's phone ring, the name for the number was 'Beautiful' I rolled my eyes. So he does have a girlfriend.
"Who's that?" I said in a snappy attitude then cleared my throat "Who's that?" I said more calmly. He bit his lip and picked up his phone smiling brushing me off.
"Hey ... no sorry I'm taking my friend out... Shit- I forgot maybe next time... I swear I'll make it up to you!.. Alright I love you too" he said before hanging up. I looked down 'Wow, I don't know what I expected... I'm an idiot for believing that he'd ever go for me' I thought to myself. I felt my eyes burn before my vision blurred tears were forming in my eyes and were ready to come out, but I quickly wiped them away trying not to ruin my eyeliner. I swallowed hard and shook it off.
"So who was that?" I asked again after not receiving an answer the first time. He sighed.
"No one of your concern right now, I just want you to be happy right now" he said smiling at me as he pulled up to the restaurant. I sighed and rolled my eyes before getting out and adjust myself then turned to him. He got out after fixing his hair and checking his teeth. I sighed again, if he had someone else why was he so worried about how he looked with me right now?

JR's POV
---------
I fixed my hair one final time before getting out, my heart was pounding for some reason I mean it's just Ren he's my best friend nothing more... God why do I feel so nervous? Whatever I just want him to be happy and have some fun after being in there for a week, which I was not planning on telling him because he'd freak about me not going home. But that's what friends are for, we stick together forever. I sighed and stepped to Ren smiling, which he didn't return my smile he simple glared and turned to enter the restaurant. 'dang, he has a pretty nice bu- wait.. What am I thinking?! he's a guy! well he's pretty cute- wait why am I calling a guy cute?! What the hell?! What is wrong with me.
"HEY! Are you coming?" I heard Ren shout at me. I flinched snapping out of my train of thought and running up to him scratching the back of my head nervously.
"Yeah of course! haha- how would you get in? My name is used for the reservation!" I said nervously, Ren chuckled and smiled shaking his head. I blushed as my heart fluttered when he smiled. 'What the hell is this feeling? I don't think this has ever happened with any girl I've met... I remember my grandma telling me, when your heart flutters when someone is with you or when they smile at you- It means two things. You're either really nervous or you're in love with them. There's no way I'm in love with Ren right?' I paused and looked at Ren who looked up at me smiling softly, realizing we were at the table I blushed madly looking away. Thu-dump, Thu-dump my heart went when he smiled 'Dammit what the hell? what's wrong with me?! I can't be in love with my friend! it'll ruin our friendship! besides what if he doesn't like me back? and we stop talking?!... no I'm over thinking this... I couldn't possibly like a guy' I turned to Ren again who was reading his menu ' Well I don't know... he's pretty sweet and cute.. ugh what am I thinking?! Stop it! Stop it!'
