“Oh, sorry.” I broke our embrace.
“I’m going inside to get ready to go out.” She smiled. “Can we take my new car?”
“We sure can.”
“Hey, bro.” I heard Christian’s voice.
“I’ll be in after I talk to my brother,” I told her. “Hey, bro.” We hugged.
“What’s going on with you and Jackson?”
“He’s being a dick.”
“Come on, bro. You know he’s just looking out for you.”
“I know.” I sighed. “Good news, though. Charlotte asked me to take her out on a date tonight.”
“Seriously?” He grinned. “That’s amazing. “Where are you going?”
“I’m taking her on the boat. Sebastian is cooking for us and will have everything set up when we get there. I thought a dinner cruise would be nice.”
“She’ll love it.” He smiled as he placed his hand on my shoulder.
“I hope so. She’s different today, bro.”
“Different, how?”
“More alive. She actually wants to do something with me.”
“Maybe she’s realizing her love for you.”
“I don’t know. I hope so.”
“Don’t forget Shaun and Jenni’s gender reveal party is Friday night.”
“That’s right. Thanks for reminding me. I better get inside and get ready to head out.”
“Have fun. I want all the details tomorrow.” He pointed at me as he walked back to his house.

I walked into the bedroom and nearly lost my breath when I saw Charlotte standing there in my favorite black dress.
“I found this in the closet. It’s cute. What do you think?” She smiled. “Wait. You don’t have to answer that. I’m sure you’ve seen me in it a lot.”
“It’s beautiful, Charlotte.” I smiled. “Every time I see you in it, I tell you how amazing you look.”
“Maybe you’re not such a douchebag.” A smirk crossed her lips.
“Oh, I am.” I grinned. “I’m going to change, and then we can go.”
“Okay. I’ll meet you downstairs,” she spoke.
After changing my clothes and dabbing on some more cologne, I headed downstairs and found Charlotte with her hand in a box of crackers.
“These are disgusting.” She threw the box in the trashcan.
