My mom once told me that a person should always look forward to a new day and thank god, that he was alive to face what the day had to throw at me. I knew what the day had planned for me and if I tell the truth ninety percent of me was so very excited and happy but the ten smart percent knew that I was gambling with my heart as ransom. My heart had almost popped out yesterday when Adrian had kissed me, and if something happened like that again, I would definitely make a fool of myself, and I wouldn’t do that. Today was the second date day and I will NOT take him to a place where we would be alone, sitting in a corner, looking at each other. I wouldn’t take that, at all. There was only a certain amount of … whatever it was that my heart could tolerate.

I was getting ready to go for work when my phone rang, I listened my ring tone and I grunted, the dangerous tone meant Amber.

“Hi Amber.” I said as soon as I picked up the phone.

“Hi yourself dodo, tell me how is my favourite girl?” Amber sounded so happy.

“I’m okay, missing you. How’s everything with you?” I asked her.

“Well, I’m having my honeymoon and I won’t give you the details, but I’m having a splendid time.” Amber said and I laughed, God, I had really missed her.

“I don’t need the gory details you dirty pig.” I said and she laughed.

“So missy, how has life been treating you?” Humph, it’s making me fall in love with the wrong guy, then telling me to go on dates with him, forcing me to sit inches away and let him devour me with his eyes and oh also making me enjoy his kisses and getting my brains short circuited. Could I tell her that?

“Okay, I guess. I don’t really know Amby.” God, I hated lying to her.

“Hey Jason wants to know how’s Adrian?” Amber asked me and I opened my mouth to tell her, and then snapped it shut.

“How would I know how he is?” I demanded and I heard Amber grunt.

“Because I know you are going out with him so I thought I’ll ask you.”

“Who the hell told you that?” I shrieked at her.

“Adrian said that you promised him seven dates, why are you shouting?”

“I don’t know.” I grumbled in the phone.

“Hey Tempy, I knew something was wrong with you. Tell me now.”

“I don’t know Amby, I cannot go out with him, that’s all I know.” I mumbled.

“Hell’s bell’s you do love him, don’t you?” Amber questioned.

“I don’t know … yes, yes I do.” I finished lamely and for the first time since I knew Amber I felt her go speech less.

“Tempy, I didn’t know this would happen, I was just teasing you with his name, are you … serious? Does he know? What will you do

now?” She asked me.

“Of course he doesn’t know, you ass and I’m not gonna do anything.”

“What do you mean by that?” She demanded and I slumped in my seat.

“Look Adrian makes me feel … strange. Whenever I’m with him, I’m so bloody aware of everything around me, and then when he holds me it feels like that’s exactly what I’m made to do and then he kisses me and I melt, literally, my brain runs riot and get so heightened from his nearness and then he just has to look at me and I go crazy.” I finished and I heard Amber sigh at the other end.

“You have it bad girl.” She said and I nearly laughed, tell me about it.

“So I don’t know what I’ll do now, all I know is that if I continue this charade then I’m going to fall deeper and tell Adrian the truth.” I said.
