that.

I walked the block and a half to my apartment and slipped in after punching in my code for the door. I unlocked my front door and came face to face with my blue couch, it was brighter, and I couldn't prevent the smile on my face. Seth Myers wanted to date me! After three years of pining for him, I had a shot. I never thought that it would happen; had never even considered it possible. It wasn't as if I had been waiting for it though you know. I had gone out with Tim, and about seven other guys, since I had started working for Seth. But there was always that hope in the back of my mind that maybe one day he would find something about me that he liked, and maybe I would get to be with him, even for a little while.

I dropped my keys on the kitchen's counter and opened up the frig. Grabbing a bottle of water, I made my way to the blue couch and turned on the TV. I'm not a big television watcher but it was Friday night and some stations play standup comedy shows around that time. I love stand up; ever since my Dad took me to a show on our trip to Las Vegas ten years back.

Picking up the phone, I dialed Wes's cell number. I had called him the night before, and he'd informed me that he'd be back into the City around noon. Mom and Dad would be coming home that weekend. I was happy Wes was back, I missed him.

"What's up, little bro?"

There was music in the background so I knew he was in his car.

"Just called to talk," I said and smiled, knowing that he was probably on his way over here.

"Mmhm," he murmured and I heard the faint sound of his blinker clicking.

"So you are coming to see me right?" I asked and laughed.

Even if I hadn't been right, that maybe he was on his way somewhere else, I knew he would come here now. Wes is a very odd person, he changes a lot, but he's always the same with me. I remember when we were young my father had yelled at him to "make up your mind about one thing in your fucking life" and Wes simple said, "The only constant thing in life is change Dad, get over it". From that, point on he was my hero. That had been one of the few times Dad had yelled at either one of us, and it's been about the millionth time Wes had talked back.

"Yeah, yeah," he griped. "I'll be there in a few minutes. Want me to pick up something to eat?"

"Chinese food please."

He mumbled an okay and hung up. He mumbles a lot when he's on the phone; almost any other time he's right in your face.

"So you have a date with Seth? That's great Reed I'm glad for you," Wes said after I told him what happened. "Do you think maybe it's too soon though? You and Tim just ended a few weeks ago."

"I think it’s fine timing. You know my rules about sex; we were barely making it to second base. I have to fully trust someone before I take that step."

I'd always told my family that I wasn't going to
