Howie and me walked back to the table and we sat down.

“So, are you glad you came tonight?” Howie asked. I smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, I had a great time.” He smiled.

“Would you like to maybe, uh, do something tomorrow.” He asked nervously. I could barely hold back a smile.

“Yeah, I would love to.” I said calmly. His whole face lit up.

“Really?” He asked, I nodded my head. “Ok, what about I pick you up tomorrow at around 7?” I nodded my head again. We danced every song after that. He held me close, and I felt like I was in heaven. When the night was over he took me home and walked me to my doorstep. We stood there, not knowing what to say when he leaned in and kissed my cheek.

“Goodnight Nicole.” He whispered and left. I basically floated to my room, and when I crawled into my covers I realized what happened.

“Goodnight Howie.” I murmured and fell asleep, his face filling my dreams.
