Just Friends

[COMPLETED] We promised each other we would never fall in love with one another. It's forbidden. It can't happen.
"Hey, Colette," Dakota greets me as he throws his arm around my shoulder.
"Hey, buddy," I force myself to say the word 'buddy.'
"I was wondering if you would like to go to the movies with me," my friend says, his voice sending shivers down my spine.
Is he asking me out on a date? Anything could happen! What if I accidentally spill my drink on him? Or throw popcorn at him? What if I laugh too loud if it's a comedy? Or clutch too tightly onto him if it's a horror?
"You're spacing out on me again," Dakota's chilling voice interrupts my thoughts.
"U-um, yeah totally. I'd love to go," I manage to say, trying to hide my red face of embarrassment.
Dakota chuckles and says, "you're cute when you're embarrassed!"
Before I can give him an earful, he runs off, fully knowing I'd scold him. I sigh and slap my cheeks lightly. Let's just say, I broke a promise.
