Eyes of Ice

Nervous

"See ya soon!"

"When's she coming?" Talia asked as Patty hung up.

"Around six thirty." Patty went to the bedroom mirror, straightening out his dress a bit. He'd bought it a few months ago and tried it on a few times, but hadn't really felt like wearing it out until now. Tonight he was determined to be at his cutest. "Could you zip me up?"

Talia helped him zip up the back. "Think you'll go back to her place?"

Patty blushed and grinned. "We'll see how it goes! I'll call if I do though."

"Cool. Shoes?" She held up the flats he'd gotten to match the pale dress.

Patty shook his head. "Later. I've still got like an hour to kill."

Talia flopped down on his bed. "So are you guys official yet?"

"I don't know," he said honestly, sitting beside her.

Talia lightly punched him. "How many dates have you been on again?"

"I don't wanna assume!"

"This will be five," Talia reminded him, "Even if you're not a thing, I'm pretty sure she's interested in making you one."

Patty smiled. "You think so?"

Talia gave him a disbelieving look. "You're a dumbass, dude."
