For an amazing cover,

Love Ya!*

I slept until 3, I had had a long day at the doctor, where he said I was perfectly healthy, and a long flight. I was lost in the bubbles in the shower when my cell rang.

"Hey, you wanna go to the movies with us?" Kate ask cheerfully.

"Sure, I'm in the shower, I'll call you back." I said happily.

I finished up and called her on speaker while I did my lotion and makeup.

"We will be there in about 30 minutes", she said, as I interrupted with,"Who is we?" quickly, but trying to hide the real question.

"Yes, the THREE of us will be there in a few minutes," she quickly replied, very amused.

I had 30 minutes.

Hair was easy, long and straight.

I dried and rolled it loosely. Jean short skirt, black tank, black tall gladiator sandals, jewelry and my black sparkly clutch.

I was ready and they were waiting.

I left a note for Gram:

Dinner & a movie w/Dylan, Lane & Kate

I have my cell.

Love,

Carly

When I opened the door, Dylan was waiting for me with a big smile and my knees went a little weak. He was dressed in dark denim slung low on his hips, a black button up, just tight enough across his chest with the arms rolled up to his and untucked, with some black Chuck Taylors. Yum! He reached for my hand and I happily gave it to him as I smiled up at him.

He pulled my hand up to his mouth and kissed it before placing it above his heart.

"We match?" He questioned grinning, as we adjusted in the backseat, I just laughed. I smiled softly and my breath caught as he pulled me to him and threw his arm around me.

Dinner at the diner was quick, but held good conversation and a lot of laughs. The movie was their choice, a slasher flick. Not my favorite type, but it didn't matter cause I was with him.

About fifteen minutes in, we headed for the snack bar. My hand was in his, my heart was pounding and I couldn't get the stupid grin off my face. At the counter he placed his hand on the small of my back and I lost my breath and bit my lower lip. I closed my eyes hoping he didn't see, but his smirk told me he did.

We decided on cherry icee's and popcorn. "I've never really cared for Cherry, until now...." He said with a sexy grin. I blushed and bit my lower lip, remembering his comment about my lipgloss that first night. He smiled and squeezed my hand when I glanced up at him. He turned to look at his phone annoyed, but became almost irate seeing my discomfort with the clerk who had just handed me the popcorn and grabbed my hand.

I jerked my hand away and moved back out of the clerk's grasp.

"Stop staring at her chest before I gouge your eyes out," he nearly screamed, clenching his fists, after pulling me behind him.

"No harm done man, didn't realize she was taken," the clerk said flatly backing away with his arms up as a sign of surrender. "Really? Are you an idiot? We are smiling, holding hands and buying snacks together, and you couldn't tell?" Dylan stated irritated with what looked like rage. The clerk walked away, but Dylan was in front of me, his back to my front, and I could feel the anger radiating off of him. Unsure exactly what to do, I put my arms around him, pressed my forehead to his back and whispered, "I'm okay Dylan, please, calm down?"
