"So as friends?"

Maddox.

I walked into my apartment, I had just finished work and felt tired. Though it was only 7 pm and a Friday night. Most people are out at parties and clubs but I was probably going to spend my Friday night taking a bath and reading.

I walked through the door and locked it behind me. I hung up my coat on the rack and placed my badge, phone, and purse on my counter.

I yawned and walked over to my bedroom so I could get changed. I kicked off my shoes and walked over to my closet. I then heard my phone ring signaling I got a text.

I couldn't be left alone for one minute. I put my hair in a ponytail as I walked over to where my phone was. I picked it up and unlocked it to see who was ruining my peaceful Friday night.

From Shawn:
Sorry for texting late, uh hi

I felt my stomach flip a little at the fact that he texted back. But I couldn't help but laugh a little at his response.

To Shawn:
Haha hi and don't worry about texting late.

I then seen the three dots pop up. I felt like a girl in high school when her crush texts her. It's like this rush of wondering what he wanted or why he texted.

From Shawn:
So how's your Friday night going?

I took my phone over to the couch and sat down. Totally forgetting the fact that I wanted to go take a bath and relax.

To Shawn:
Eh it's going okay, just staying home. Wbu?

From Shawn:
Same lol

To Shawn:
No work?

I remembered him telling me the other day about how he was a police officer. Or training and what not. I thought it was attractive, I mean he's a man in a uniform. Especially him like imagine that.

From Shawn:
Not for a couple hours, hey are you doing anything right now?

My heart picked up its pace when I read his text. What did that mean? I mean besides the obvious. Was he going to ask me out or to hangout?

To Shawn:
Nothing why?

From Shawn:
I was hoping we could talk, nothing bad. I just wanted to know you a little better.

To Shawn:
Oh yeah sure

From Shawn:
Great I'll be over in 10?

That's when I looked down at myself and realized I was still in my scrubs. I had to clean myself and the place up.

To Shawn:
Yeah

I then jumped up and hurried to my room to get dressed. I walked to my closet and tried to find something to wear. Did I go for comfortable? Casual? Sexy?
