Yes. Call Her

The rest of my Sunday is spent watching football, doing work and wasting time on the internet. I notice that Doe never signs online, perhaps thinking that our conversation will be a bit awkward after the events of the previous night.

My memory of the kisses and dance are a bit hazy for obvious reasons, but I still replay them in my head, over and over. I want to ask Doe out, she's my dream girl and seems to like me after all...

Its 10:35 pm, and I've been sitting in my chair for the past 35 minutes, trying to work up my courage, and figure out what exactly I will say when I call Doe to ask her out. I already have her contact information pulled up on my phone, and all I have to do is press the call button. Should I do it? Yes, yes you should my mind screams. Finally, I've had enough, and I push down the call button, forgetting my rehearsed openings as Doe's voice fills the speaker:

"Hey John," says Doe.

"Um, hey Doe", I respond.

"So...what's up?", she says, sounding a bit nervous.

"Well, uhhh, I was wondering", I start, "I mean uhh, I was gonna see if you wanted to hang out sometime? Like this week...maybe?"

"Well, yeah, of course John."

"Awesome", I say, relieved and elated.

"When were you thinking?" she asks.

"Are you free Friday? I think schools off on Friday, so maybe we can go grab lunch in town or something?"

"Sure, sounds great. I'll see you in school tomorrow then?"

"Yeah, see ya. Oh and, uh, does this count as a date?" I ask, immediately realizing how stupid that question sounds.

"Yeah, we'll count it as a date", shes says laughing, "I guess we're going out then?"

"Looks like it", I say, grinning from ear to ear.

"Well, boyfriend, I guess I can say that I enjoyed our little session last night then."

"So did I. Everything turned out quite nicely."

Doe laughs and says she has to finish up the history paper, so we say our goodbyes. I know she'll probably be texting all her friends about my call as well.

The conversation is short, but I suddenly feel tired, although very satisfied and happy. I take a quick shower, pack my school bags, print my paper, and head to bed.
