“Sue?”I called out as I walked into the hall.

“Here” A voice called from the kitchen, ”Hi”

“Hey”I said, sitting down on the bar stools near the counter, looking at her making salad.

“I don’t like salad” I whined.

“You don’t get a choice, gotta eat” She said, smiling.

“I wanted to talk to you about something” I said, quietly, looking around to make sure we were alone.

“Reed’s workng, Johnny’s out and Ben’s watching TV” She said, nonchalantly.

“I’m” started but shut my mouth quickly as she held her hand up.

The front door opened to reveal Johnny coming in with his motocross clothes dirty and his face dripping with oil.

“What were you guys...riding in an oil shower?”I asked.

He gave me a dirty, “Don’t cook for us tonight, we are heading out” he told Sue.

“Us?”She asked.

He pointed at me and nodded.

“Why?”I asked, dumbfounded.

“I’m taking you out for dinner how hard is it to understand?!”Johnny said, exasperated.

“Um “I gulped.

“Okay” Sue said, going back to her salad, calmly.

And so did Johnny leave the room, also calmly.

Turning me into a mess.

Why did he want to go out for dinner? With me?

“I gotta go” I said, my voice squeaky.

“Didn’t you want to ask me something?”Sue asked.

“Uh yeah...” I said, racking my brain to remember what I wanted to ask Sue over the shrieking in my head.

“I uh...”I started; Sue gave me a funny look.

“You what?”Sue said, smiling.

“Yeah?”

“Go get ready, we can talk later” She said, giving me a calm smile.

“No I just...can’t remember” I said, smiling sheepishly, because my stupid brain is so overly excited over the fact that Johnny Storm asked me out for dinner, well didn’t ask, commanded.

 Hey!Beggars can’t be choosers right? A voice said back to me.

“Later, Ria”She said.

“Okay” I said, hurriedly running to my room.

“Shit!”I exclaimed as I slammed my room door.

“Why me?”I sighed as I stalked to my wardrobe to find something appropriate to wear.

***

“I hate you Johnny Storm” I said, sitting down on my bed amidst all the clothes that I removed and discarded within seconds in the past half an hour.

“Ria!”A voice called from the door.

“Shit!”I whispered, “WHO IS IT?”

“Johnny”

Crap!

I scrambled to my feet, looking down at what I was wearing, can’t answer the door in underwear can I now?

“I’LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE!”

Picking up the first dress my hands could find i slipped it on.

A grey lace-back?

I’m seriously losing it ,I thought as I saw it hanging on my body.

Or maybe...

***

“Let’s go?”I said, softly when I found my voice back.

Johnny looking ‘Oh-So-Goddamn-Hot’ turned around with a smile on his face.

“You clean up well” He said, smirking.

“Thanks, I guess?”I said, it came out like a question though.

What sort of a compliment is that?

“No you. . .”He started, and then shook his head, “Let’s go”

“Okay “I say feeling a little conscious about my choice of outfit.

Surely a grey lace-back with black heels is appropriate enough for both classy and casual things right?

God I hope so, I don’t want to be harassed by the paparazzi again.

And wherever Johnny goes...they sure follow.

“Where are we going?”I asked the one question that has been bothering me for the past hour and a half.

“You made me wait for half an hour, I think you can wait for half an hour now” Johnny said, smugly.

“Such a jerk” I mumbled.

“Pleasure” He replied.
