More than friends?

Chapter 11

I can't believe today is the day that I have been looking forward too has finally come. I'm so excited but also super nervous. I am not sure how this is going to go, but I am ready to take the risk. I'm just ready to see how we are going to interact with one another outside of work. We have a good relationship at work and also through texts. Just not sure how we will be outside of work, but I am so ready. My heart is beating so fast just thinking about getting Yami to myself and all of his attention, well I get it now, but no distractions. I smile at the thought of just having him to myself makes me so happy.

I walk into the house and I pull out my phone and check it. I haven't really looked at it since I went off to break. I had no reason to look at it when I was with the person that I wanted to see was already  there. I see that I have a few texts from Becca and one from Joey. I did send her a morning text and to have good day at work since I did promise that I would at least send her a few texts. I look at what she had to say and Joey as well.

'Morning, and I hope you have a good day as well. I hope I see you sometime this weekend. Well I am about to get ready for work. I work a double today.'

'You think if you're not too tired or busy you can come by the apartment to hang out for a bit? Also if I don't get out too late of course. Love you.'

Yikes I thought to myself when I had seen she said 'love you'.  I shrugged it off and moved onto to Joey's text.

'Hey bud! I know that tonight is the big night, but would you like to hang out before you hang out with Yami? Mai wanted to see if you wanted to come over and have dinner with us/play a few card games before you went to your 'date' (; Anyways, just let me know pal!'

I shake my head and laugh.  I then reply back to Joey saying that I would come over before I went to go hang out with Yami. It might help me relax some before I did anyways and I could always use to helpful tips as well. I smile and went to the bathroom to go shower and get ready for my evening. I put on my playlist and hop into the shower.

I grab a towel and grab my phone to see if I had any texts. I see that I have one from Joey, one from Rebecca and then a few from Yami. I smile and I go to Yami's first of course.

'Hey thanks for texting me once you got home :('

'Also, you are super cute when you blush, and like I said before you have very beautiful eyes. I didn't really notice them until today. I don't really look into peoples eyes, but I am so glad that I did today. Start looking  up when you talk to me, don't be so shy and look away. I love your eyes so much.

P.S. Can't wait to see you tonight(: I'll text you when I am off. Break is over.'

I instantly blush when I read that message... I also felt bad for not texting him when I got home. I just went straight to the shower after I had messaged Joey back. I then lay on my bed with my towel on and message him back.

'Hey, I'm sorry I didn't send you a text as soon as I got home... I literally went straight to the shower and I just got out. I'll try to text back once I get home. I'm not used doing that lol.. :/

Also, thank youu... I'm not really used to having someone actually look into my eyes. Makes me nervous. I'll try not to look away when I am talking to you. You just make me a little nervous and not in a bad way. I'm just awkward...

Also I can't wait to see you tonight, I am super excited.... SO hurry and GET OFF(:'

I smile and get off the bed to go find an outfit to wear. I look at my closet and I am so stumped on what to wear. I don't want to dress up too much but I also don't want to be too casual. This is stressful... Good thing is I don't have to rush but I still need to hurry. I then grab a maroon long sleeve, some dark blue jeans and my old pair of converse. I look at the mirror and I approve it this outfit. I then grab my black choker and put it on my neck as well as my army green jacket. I grab my phone, keys and wallet and walk out the door.

*At Joey's place*

"Dammmnnn look at you! You're a little hottie! Oww oww!" Mai shouts to me as I walk in the door and then winks at me. I blush so much once she does that to me. I didn't mind, but it just made me so much more nervous than I already was. I then see Joey walk in and he whistles and me then begins to say....

"HEY CAN I HAVE YO NUMBAH, CAN I PLEASE HAVE YO NUMBAH!" He says while he walks over to me and gives me fist bump. I just shake my head and laugh at the both of them. I hope I didn't dress up too much if they are acting like this. I just don't want Yami to think I am trying too hard to impress him...

"Guys... Did I dress up too much? I don't want him to think I am trying to hard or anything...." I said while I was looking down at my shoes. I then feel Mai's soft hands come pick up my face and she looks me straight in the eyes and says, "Oh honey, you are not trying too hard. You always look great, but today I can just tell you're happy. That smile says it all and that makes you look so much more attractive than you already are. You just look extra wonderful today because of that smile." She smiles at me and kisses my cheek. When she said that to me it made me feel so much better. I have such wonderful friends.

"Yeah Yuge, you just look happy and it's nice to see it for once. I didn't mean to make you feel like you were trying too hard and besides you always look great man. No matter what time or what day it is. You look better than me half the time. I don't even know how to dress myself, you out of all people should know this." Joey says while he looks at me and smiles at me. He's right he can't dress himself but his friendship makes up for his lack of style. He's a wonderful friend.

Once we get done with our evening plans it's time to go our separate ways. I wave them goodbye and I head to my car. I look at my phone and I see that I have a text from a certain gentleman that I have been eager to see all day. I smile when I read the text.

'Hey hun, I'm ready. You ready to meet up?(:'

I smile and I get in my car and meet up with Yami finally.
