The next morning I get out of the shower back at our apartment. "I can't believe that actually happened..it was a dream right?" Zoey sits at the counter eating breakfast. "Nope. It happened. What happened before I came in to get you and Dan for dinner though?" I blush and walk back into the bathroom to get my hairbrush.

"Niki?" Zoey asks again as I put my clothes on. "Nothing happened, ok?" I finish putting my hair up into a bun and sit down at the counter across from her. My phone dings twice and an unknown number pops up.

Hey, did you get home ok?

Zoey tries to see who I'm texting but I pull my phone away.

Who's this?

It's Dan.

"Who's that?" Zoey finishes her egg sandwich and tries to get another look. "Dan." I mumble. "Dan Reynolds?" I nod. "So something did happen! I knew it!" I half heartedly slap her arm and reply to Dans text.

Oh, Hi :) and yes we got home good..

That's good.

Yep. Aside from the fact Zoey is suspicious about last night...

So is Platz.

A few minutes goes by.

So..I was thinking....

Go on ?

Do you want to go to a restaurant or something tonight?

I stare at the screen in shock, and don't even notice that Zoey is reading the whole conversation over my shoulder.

Yes, I'd love to! :)

'Did that actually just happen? Did my all time idol just seriously ask to have dinner with me?!'

"Zoey, pinch me." She pinches my arm hard. "Ouch! I was being sarcastic you know!" She grins. "So what exactly happened?" I blush and look away. "I'm not going to tell."
