Maybe, Just Maybe, I'll Reconsider.

Oh my gaud. He just asked me out. Again. But, the truth is, Derick..

“Well Derick.. I mean the truth is.. can I think on it?” I said at loss for the right words to say this.

“S-sure.” he stammers, taken aback.

The tension slightly, filling it’s place with awkward silence. He swayed our arms to the beat of the music and eventually we broke out into dancing with each other. It was major, major fun.

We laughed, joked, played around, wrestled, everything.

As I recovered from one of my many laugh attacks, I realized the time – 8:00PM.

“Oh my gaud – I have to get home. My mom’s gonna kill me!!”

“Okay,” he said, but I could see the sadness and dread in his eyes. “I’ll call you later then.”

“M’kay. See ya later!”

I was stepping out the door, when he began to speak to me again. “I had fun today, Christy. I really enjoyed it.” I could tell he was talking straight from his heart.

“Yeah,” I said with a smile, “me too.”
