CAN I STILL HAVE THAT DATE?

       "You're so cute," Ethan said to her. 

   Charlotte beamed. "I know, but don't you dare fall in love with me." 

        "What? What if I'm already smitten?" 

        "Unsmitten yourself, so that you won't have a heart break." 

        Ethan, clutched his chest. "I'm so heart broken no woman wants me," he feigned tears. 

     Faith caught herself smiling at them and straightened her face. What was she doing standing there, looking at lovers as they displayed affection. She felt something tugging at her heart, but she didn't know what it was and she didn't want to give it a thought anyway. She started going towards her room, leaving lovers to love themselves, before it makes her start missing Noah. 

        "Do I still have that date Miss Prescott?" Ethan asked, just as she was about entering her room. 

      She halted and wondered what kind of human Ethan was. He has a girlfriend, yet he won't leave her alone. How does he think that girl would feel? She would feel bad if Noah asked a girl out in her presence. Whether they had something or not. She turned to face them and tell Ethan that she won't promise anything. 

       "Please," Charlotte begged, putting her hands together and taking up puppy eyes. 

      The words Faith had wanted to say, got stuck in her mouth and she just stared at Charlotte, wondering what kind of a girl she was too. What girl helps her boyfriend ask another girl out on a date? She must be crazy. She became helpless. 

        "Alright," she said, not being able to decline again. 

       "Yay!" Charlotte exclaimed. "Could we make it this night?" she asked. 

        Faith looked at Ethan, Ethan looked at Charlotte and Charlotte looked from one to the other. 

        "What? Once there is a reunion, there should be a party," she said. 

      What reunion? Faith thought and looked at Ethan again. "Alright. I'll just go get dressed and be ready for anytime you choose, I don't wanna sleep off again." 

       Ethan chuckled and rubbed his stubble. "It's alright, I'll go get ready. Could you put your number here?" He gave her his phone. 

       She looked at his outstretched arm and looked at Charlotte. "Ahh, don't worry, I won't sleep off today. I have slept enough," she said with a small smile. 

      Ethan shrugged and put his arm around Charlotte's shoulders. "If you say so." 

         Faith smiled and went inside her room, gently closing the door. She leaned on the door and let out a deep breath from her mouth. Why was her heart pounding and did she just feel jealous right there? She and Ethan had nothing going on, they had only kissed once and that meant nothing, it had been a mistake. She walked to her closet to fish out a cloth to wear. She didn't feel jealous, she only missed she and Noah. 

      There was a rap at her door. She listened to be sure she heard it well. The rap came again and she asked the person to come in. Charlotte poked in her head that bright smile still on her face. 

        "Hi," she said stepping in. 

     Faith was confused. She didn't know this Charlotte girl's plan. She had been warned that people that were always this friendly at the beginning have a lot of hidden characters and a lot of skeletons in their cupboard.
