Don't Fall For Him

Chapter 25: Mystery Man

Mandys POV:

"So, what are you wearing for your date tonight?" Roxy asks while brushing her long blonde hair.

"I don't know, I haven't been on real "date" in a long time. I'm really nervous, " I say as I did through my closet for clothes.

I am so nervous for tonight. I haven't been on a date since Brian. With him it was so different.  I didn't have to worry about my clothes, or my hair. I would show up in jeans and t-shirt and he would look at me like I was a super model.

I snap out of it when Roxy throws a pillow at me. "Hey, I'm talking to you! What are you thinking about over there? She asks staring at me intently.

"Oh, sorry I didn't hear you," I say looking down at my ratty slippers. I really need new slippers.

"I asked if he called you yet." I look at her like I have no idea who she is talking about.  "Dan..." she says now getting alittle aggravated.  "Oh oh no not yet, he should be calling soon it's already 3," I say looking at my phone.

"Please tell me your not still worried about Brian..its been weeks and you need to move on and forget about him," she says with some sympathy behind her tone.

I look down and let out a sigh, " I know I do, I just miss him..."

Brian's POV:

I can't believe Mandy is actually going on a date with some guy...this is crazy. Just last week we were working us out and now she's with someone else that fast?

"Hey Buddy, how you holdin up?" Chris asks as he walks into the kitchen.

"You know me, I'll get through this. I have a hot date myself tonight too," I say as I button my shirt up to cover my superman shirt.

Chris looks at me with a surprised look on his face, "you....have a date? With who!"

I chuckle a little, "Oh this girl Beth I met last week at the bar. She's a real looker man."

"Wow...does Mandy know? I mean I know she's going out with someone too but..." before Chris can say another word I cut him off. "No!!! I mean....no why would I tell her? She's not my girlfriend anymore," I say looking at my phone.

Chris looks at me with a concerned look, "I hope you know what your doing man.."

I hope so too....

Mandys POV:

I can feel my palms getting more and more sweaty as I wait for this mystery guy. I'm so nervous I may just throw up.

"Wow! You look....amazing," I turn around and see Roxy with her jaw practically laying on the floor. I let out a slight chuckle, "thanks girl...you don't think it's too much?"

"Not at all, he is going to be staring at you all night. You look so pretty, " she says examining my outfit.

"As opposed to what? I always look good," Roxy laughs, "well torn jeans and comic shirts are a far fetch from good, but it is nerdy cute i guess."

::DING DONG::

Oh shit...was that the doorbell? I'm shaking right now to the point where it looks like I have a tick or something.

"Would you relax, he's going to love you!," Roxy says fixing my hair quick.

I walk to the door and open it..my eyes widen as I see this man standing there.  He has dark hair that's in a fohawk style, deep brown eyes, and very muscular.

"Am I at the right house? Are you Mandy?" He asks staring at me intently.  I snap out of my weird stalker stare,  "Oh yes yes I'm sorry, hi! I'm Mandy."

He looks me over and smiles,  "you look beautiful,  I sure lucked out. Prettiest girl I ever seen." My face must be every shade of red because I can feel myself getting warm. "Thank you, so...are we ready?" I ask grabbing my coat. He smiles at me, "I'm ready if you are."

I take one last look back at Roxy who is giving me the thumbs up. A feeling comes over me...im nervous and happy all at once but I can't help but to feel guilty. What am I doing?
